The Gravedigger
It was cold and windy, always seemed to be the same
whenever he dug out a grave and often it would rain.
Grave digging was something he knew someone had to do
that was his job and he always took pride in doing it too.
People knew him in the village where he'd made his home
this strange young man, who was always on his own.
But he was just a lonely man, as harmless as can be
who wanted to live a normal life, just like you or me.
The girls always made fun of him and were a little cruel

On Her Wings
Not so long ago, the journey of life
became hard and difficult,
a troubled mind made the waters
seem too deep and stormy,
a weakened spirit made the hills
feel steep and hard to climb,
a weary heart made the paths
seem long and endless.
And the land of hope, joy and peace
became distant and impossible to reach.
Then that special person in my life
took control of my journey,
with her kindness, her patience and her love.
And like an Angel, on her wings
she guided me through the waters
which gradually became...

Gangsters talking too much, not enough killing
Took a whole crowd to make that “fuck you” more powerful?
But there’s a like for your mental illness, yet still doubt a fool
It’s best I don’t read everyone
they’re just a nuisance man
like a hero, I call him Superprank
But there’s a like for your mental illness, yet still doubt a fool
It’s best I don’t read everyone

Irony is a Whore
Suddenly it was gone.
We took it all for granted
and pissed it up a wall.
Shadows to a beat.
laughter as we fall.
If Death is a cruel mistress
Then Irony is a whore.
We took it all for granted
and pissed it up a wall.
Shadows to a beat.
laughter as we fall.
If Death is a cruel mistress
Then Irony is a whore.

Judgement Day Or Just A Cold?
Are we in the middle
Of judgement day
No missiles or explosions
Yet still a war zone out there
All it has taken is a virus
To scare us shitless
Our freedom locked down
Hopefully saving future lives
Conflicting messages given
Ramps up fear
Panic ensues perceived normality changed
World view now twisted and distorted
Of judgement day
No missiles or explosions
Yet still a war zone out there
All it has taken is a virus
To scare us shitless
Our freedom locked down
Hopefully saving future lives
Conflicting messages given
Ramps up fear
Panic ensues perceived normality changed
World view now twisted and distorted

why I bloody well went
carried a roast chicken
home from the shop as my
excuse for being out
of cigarettes to be frank

For my son
I know you don't think much of me.
I know I'm not that great.
I know sometimes you look at me and your eyes are filled w hate.
I can't undo what has been done ,
The past is set in stone .
I can't get back your childhood years,
And now your almost grown .
I thought I knew how fast time flew,
But I realized much to late .
I can't force love into your heart
If already there is hate.
I can't take back the pain you feel,
The damage has been done .
All I can do is try to prove ,
How much I love you son.

Becoming Words
(1)
Death Of A Poet:
In a cloak of greyness
her embers rose,
wayward and burning still
as words in her mouth
yet unwritten nor spoken;
words which lay unformed.
The memory of her was alive
still in so many minds
and pages in volumes,
eras, decades, storied
in a past so vibrant,
so crystalline in its power.
We can remember
all the poets taught us
as we become their words
for a lifetime, or a spell
long enough to be inspired
we can be as they were,
we can learn and teach,...

RUN AWAY
Don’t judge someone
An enemy
But do have the clarity
To see
A weapon if they’re
Holding one
Put aside all other thoughts
And run
An enemy
But do have the clarity
To see
A weapon if they’re
Holding one
Put aside all other thoughts
And run

Spaces
empty dark spaces
no black holes
meteorites
just echoes of exploded music
pounding through the walls
through turbulent halls
lined with the plaster of hallowed voices
listen well
hear the unrelenting swells
of music notes
that have no where to settle down
no black holes
meteorites
just echoes of exploded music
pounding through the walls
through turbulent halls
lined with the plaster of hallowed voices
listen well
hear the unrelenting swells
