Poems

Let it go I can’t I have seen so much In my young life I am only twenty one Let it go I can’t it hurts so much I close my eyes And I see the horror’s again Let it go I want to but no one understands They do not know how I feel They do not know what is real Let it go I...

I know I shouldn’t look away Turn a blind eye I know I should question your ways Until you start to listen Because I remember you before the fall So gifted and confident, you knew it all And I looked up to you My best friend I wanted to be like you In every way. I...

Pink is the colour of flowers blowing in the wind Red is juicy, tasty cherries from branches on the tree Blue is the colour of the waves out at sea Black is the night sky without sparkling stars Yellow is a ball of golden fire in the sky

All I do is want Want, want and, want I expect the best Job, girlfriend, friends They all have to suit my needs. This is what brings me down This need This appetite for a better life But I want it so bad, my friend I want to be many things A poet Painter Writer But I...

I turned off the light But wrote far into the night I’m getting old But I still never listen to what I’ve been told Everyone here is calm Looking at me with open arms And I wish I could care I wish my thoughts I could share. Thoughts always come to me so late And by...

We think that were different, as chalk is from cheese We think were the only ones, with old aching knees We think that were different, we cough and we sneeze We think were the only ones, with this bad disease We think that were different, when were feeling Mad We...

Beside the babbling brook lay I Ears cocked to hear his cry Then I heard it, keen and long The dog fox answer, my mating song From yonder field beyond the glen He answered thrice, I chose him then For it was time Beside the babbling brook lay we Content within our...

Rocky Balboa climbs into the ring The Big man already awaits the champ The pipes played as he swaggered in No nerves are shown on their faces Just steely looks ready to go through the paces The ref calls them in Rocky lets out a grin The big man replies with the same...

I miss my dreams Now my sleep is poor They were my escape From reality Now reality has won It keeps me awake Shattering my dreams My illusions of life I miss my dreams I make my bed in the morning And tuck my dreams up tight Promising them that I’ll return Once more...

Can you capture a place in words? The tug of an emotional pull And a promise to return To where you felt complete Towering cliffs joining sea to sky Aflame with scented gorse and, Carpeted with sweet springy turf with, Nodding wildflowers and dancing butterflies A...

They call this a pass, a pass to where? When there is no door for the one’s issued in orange I was too old for a blue, to young for a green And not disabled in body for a yellow The twenty to thirty year olds, they said Were strong, needed to stay and defend Defend...

A secret told to earnest ears Striving to catch, each, Whispered word Eyes wide open in surprise Breath – drawn in and held To exhaled in a tumble Of excitement Through cupped hands Shielding a receptive ear And so it goes on Until the secret Is no longer, a secret...

Can I smile Can I laugh until I cry Can I remember Remember everything Because I don’t deserve this Black holes in my mind So many excuses I need to find Just to fit in. I don’t want to be lonely But simple thoughts wont make me feel better Disappearing after-thoughts...

Silent So silent The call, the waiting Oh how it kills me How it plays on my tired and frail mind I am here, forever close to you But how I miss my family and friends How I miss the smell of English winter The songs of Christmas cheering. Love True love How beautiful...

Looking at me through the mirror of memories my eyes are open wide waiting for something to fall by my side a fresh start or another chance to open my heart. Looking at me through the mirror of memories i little faded i'm sure just like my friends who never come round...

The street my sweet home where my friends lay hollow into the night with sorrow and staying there with time borrowed. The street where i used to live so many things i would give to be back there touching souls without a care. The street an emotional storm dark clouds...

Children see sunflowers As Van Gogh intended Bright full of life Not static in a vase, On a marble mantelpiece But alive in the imagination Standing tall in a sun-kissed, Walled garden Proud and majestic Heads to the sky Children see sunflowers As Van Gogh painted All...

Breezes Banter Bashfully Winds Whip Wildly Gales Groan Gloriously Hurricanes Howl Hungrily Tornados Twist Traumatically Cyclones Circle Centrifugally Showers Scantily Saturate Drizzle Dampens Deceptively Rain Rampages Rampantly Rain Refreshingly Rejuvenates Downpours...

“Its all for the public good,” they all allege, “Read these, our words, watch and hear our pledge – Information for all our commuters,” These granite words pour from their computers. Sell more sheets of the public tabloid press, Lies, nonsense and rubbish with no...

I remember my old, fool-hardy ways In those far, far away, much younger days When alcohol fuelled my uncontrolled mind And thoughts of many things fun things, all defined As escapades in the dark of the night – No respect to prevent my poor delight. I remember when...

I remember the warmth of, and the rise Of hardest stones, comfortable safety; Sleeping at home, hidden from human eyes. I remember the tapping of hammers Through my grain, the boring of steel feathers; Wedges cracking me from my parent stone. I remember the steel...

ALL THE PAIN AND THE WHINE I HAVE LEFT FAR BEHIND. MY SORROWS AND STOPPAGE IN TIME, TO NEVER LOOK BEHIND I STILL LOOK UP HIGH IN THE SKY.. TO SEE THE FALLING STARS SHINE NOW THEY LOOK LIKE WISHES OF MY MIND THE FLOWER OF HOPE I FIND. AS THE DAY IS BORN AGAIN, MY LIFE...

Saath ho aise;ki saath hone ka guumaa bhi nahi, Juzar rahi hai yuun isharon mein zindagi, Jaise en nazaron ki koi zubaan hi nahi.

The young man spun his wheels again, And black smoke rose like soot, For 1600 big CCs, Lay waiting ‘neath his foot. The young lad grinned at the old man, Who’d never know the thrill, Of a head to head on the 229, Or a ton down Bluebell Hill. The old man grinned right...

When we’re tired, don’t seem to care, in the manner that we should It’s such a shame, it is quite bad, and does no one any good If we’re in pain and not quite right, it’s almost just the same We don’t get our rest or feel our best, excuses seem quite lame When we...

Night time is overtaking me As daylight falls behind, My life is slowly loosing The sparkle and the shine All the unkept promises Like falling stars shine, This loneliness is begning to encloak me I've lost all sense of time Selfpity overwhelmes me, I've begun to...

From out the harbour early dawn A shadow slips unseen, unknown. The patriotic fervour gone The headline makers all moved on. Dangers real and harsh as any Name unheard of by so many. No cameras see her on her way No bunting flutters on this day. Upon returning duty...

As I read and as I listen to what’s written and what’s said, Through all the words and pictures come the voices of the dead. When I see commemorations, all my comrades row on row The voices swirl and whisper as they speak from long ago. “If we fill your recollections,...

A Cottage by the Waterfall, and river running by Serene, quite, tranquil thoughts, under the deep blue sky A Cottage by the Waterfall, river in the Sun Light hearted, happy thoughts, Grandsons having Fun A Cottage by the Waterfall, river flowing, that never ends...

We didn’t want the frostbite We didn’t want the burns We didn’t want to leave our homes And families far astern. We didn’t like the future As we grimly sailed away But we wore Queen Bess’s Uniform And did it anyway. We didn’t want the battle Or the bayonets at night...

Pitter-Patter, Pitter-Patter Running down the hall Pitter-Patter, Pitter-Patter The baby no longer crawls Pitter-Patter, Pitter-Patter He likes to run and play Pitter-Patter, Pitter-Patter He will grow up one day Pitter-Patter, Pitter-Patter He is my youngest son...

With decking planks and rigging ropes, I sail away tonight. To bow, the dark and all my hopes, To stern the harbour light, To starboard there’s a marker buoy, To port we run aground. Above the sky is speckled bright, Beneath the depths there’s Plymouth Sound. Into the...

I really shouldn’t have a favourite, a favourite of any kind The fact remains; it seems I have, running through my mind Long years ago when I was young, and feeling rather sad Id talk to you, you’d listen then speak, and make me feel so glad Your caring heart and...
