Margery - A Tribute
Margery was an amazing woman
With a great sense of adventure
Later in life
She visited the Great Wall Of China
Also visiting The Northern Lights
She also had a wonderful sense of humour
And loved cats, and i'm sure that she would of laughed at this
"On my way here, i saw a cat travelling along the motorway
Meeeeoooooooow!
Margery also loved poetry, and offered me great encouragement
With my own, and the one i'm about to read, was one that she loved
The Hamadryads Lament
Through ferns and brushes
And silver birch...

Lacuna
You was Superman. My superman.
I too was late to account for the flesh and blood.
I feel stupid. Damn!
By the time I seen you.
You were skin and bone.
My Superman.
No amount of sex and drugs can fill this Lacuna.
Dad.

Bliss
Will there be another time
When I'll feel your lips
Thrill me with another kiss
And take me to a place
Where you are mine
And we can make love
All of the time
I miss your kisses
And that divine feeling
I've felt when in your arms
A kind of happiness
Akin to bliss
When I'll feel your lips
Thrill me with another kiss
And take me to a place
Where you are mine
And we can make love
All of the time
I miss your kisses
And that divine feeling
I've felt when in your arms
A kind of happiness
Akin to bliss

all things of joy
sadness
a parade moving so
slow the music can't
be heard
nor the beat measured
by the heart
clowns and all things
of joy rage in
ruin

letter to myself
Let's be honest
I'm really fucking proud of you
I know we've been walking
that edge lately
between coming and going
between setting life on fire
and trying to smother the sparks
that are already in motion
We're constantly surrounded
by stoners and alcoholics
and the occasional meth addict
but you never let it
get inside your head
you never slip
you smile
play nice
lock your housemate's patio door
at night when he passes out
with the screen wide open
We could get stoned...

Mother
It’s was complicated
When you were alienated
Years passed by
And gradually people stopped saying hi
They turned away with a made up mind
To leave you left behind
You looked and saw nothing
Only wanting to be a something
Days stretched into more than a few
Nobody bothered visiting you
Not a single friend
Was there at the end
So into the dark you slipped
Your angel wings were clipped
Falling to the floor
Not wanting to need anymore
The stars invited you home
Somewhere you would never be...

Poetic Kill
depression, stress and boredom
so, go link, " suicidal thoughts.com "
end your life, once and for all
and rest in piece, for God's sake !!!
'' stop complaining, no more wailing.''
poetry is language that is really living
stop your massacre, words are screaming
in your pen, on virgin page deflorated
how many miles must a honeybee travel
while you in lust and in tears revel,
to bring you nectar's sweetest potion
that you curse, and chew a poison weed
'' Stop complaining ! ''
what...

DOD
Have you ever thought of the time, month, day & year your going to die?
What about the cause of death?
your birth was a blessing
your death you'll be guessing
it may be a whisper in your ear
telling you there are no more fears
or it can be a traumatic, painful demise
pleading to your god, as you reach for the sky
loved ones around for your final breath
isolated, alone, fearful of death
will you meet your god and enter paradise?
maybe hell awaits as your forced to pay the price?
incinerated, nothing more then...

From pain to hurt.
Today's the birthdate of my neice whom we tragically loss October of last year 2023...
How everything's flipped upside down,
Especially within me.
How lives have to adapt with such unexpected hurt...
My life in itself as empty seats remain,
As all my siblings done me dirt.
Ive paid for there own neglect when damm well its them
To blame.
I'm forever in this deep dream...
A stillness holds on,
My past paints a potrait deeply
Unforseen.
Forevermore,
Never...

The Pursuit of Pleasure
The pursuit of pleasure
is a battle that discomfort often loses
and the lessons we're meant to learn
are cast adrift in the seas of nonchalance
the call to action - ignored
an insurmountable hurdle awaits
stepping out of the comfort zone
highway to the danger zone
Seared into the synapses of the mind
flashed, frozen, timeless
encapsulated by its lull
compelled by autonomous instinct
we are mindlessly drawn to it
without question or judgement
under its spell, the first thing we want
is usually the last thing we...

I was not there.
They shared my news, then asked for more;
I was not there!
Who would have thought that I might care?
That pain of losing him at four
when Ocean seized love from my shore;
I was not there.

Empty Ground
Tears are the silent language or grief. - Voltaire
Insurmountable.
A grief way too collosal.
Drop to empty ground.
Insurmountable.
A grief way too collosal.
Drop to empty ground.
