TEACH ME TO FISH
The voice of the poor
craving to my head.
from the depth of great despair
he pours out his heart.
Give me little sugar for my tea.
I dont want no cake
unless i be unwise and fake.
I want to earn my take
that I may some impact in life do make.
I pray for you to hear my plea,
kindly make a poor brother glee.
I don't want no cake
just a sugar for my tea
is all I ask with a plea.
Life is more than eyes can see,
likewise is tomorrow a mystery.
You never know what may eventually
come to be.
Whether riches or...
craving to my head.
from the depth of great despair
he pours out his heart.
Give me little sugar for my tea.
I dont want no cake
unless i be unwise and fake.
I want to earn my take
that I may some impact in life do make.
I pray for you to hear my plea,
kindly make a poor brother glee.
I don't want no cake

likewise is tomorrow a mystery.

Cup Of Gin, Bombay
An old broken poet, with a hunger in his eyes
for the darkening clouds coming his way
with pen and ink, he whittled a thirst
for a cup of gin, Bombay
The gin was bitter, it burned his tongue
but the swill made his mind full of song
and with a well of ink, he flung a verse
for a cup of gin, Bombay
Rolling dice in a fast lane called life
he wrote it dark into the night
of mimes in twilight
for a cup of gin, Bombay
for the darkening clouds coming his way
with pen and ink, he whittled a thirst
for a cup of gin, Bombay
The gin was bitter, it burned his tongue
but the swill made his mind full of song
and with a well of ink, he flung a verse
for a cup of gin, Bombay
Rolling dice in a fast lane called life
he wrote it dark into the night
of mimes in twilight
for a cup of gin, Bombay

A Mother's Heartstrings
When I'm gone,
And you find yourself sad,
Don't be sorry,
And don't be mad.
I cannot stay,
But I will never leave,
I will be with you,
In every breath you breathe.
Will you remember the birds
I taught you to chase?
And the way I whispered "I love you"
As I kissed your little face?
Will you remember the way
I taught you to love the trees?
And that day we all cried when we
Saw plastic blowing in the breeze?
Don't forget to return...
And you find yourself sad,
Don't be sorry,
And don't be mad.
I cannot stay,
But I will never leave,
I will be with you,
In every breath you breathe.
Will you remember the birds
I taught you to chase?
And the way I whispered "I love you"
As I kissed your little face?
Will you remember the way
I taught you to love the trees?
And that day we all cried when we
Saw plastic blowing in the breeze?
Don't forget to return...

Today 7:09am
A dozen pockets
The dark earth morning had never floated as light
Luminous fire seeds vanished darkness
River water heard
Stone lichens breathing
Trees full of white birds do
She slept in my perfect bed with me tenderly
among small insects grappling between night stars
Arranging nothing around work and thoughts.
Doom moths but a thought they remembered
If all times branches never fell,
who took on their kingdoms before her?
So...
Luminous fire seeds vanished darkness
River water heard
Stone lichens breathing
Trees full of white birds do
She slept in my perfect bed with me tenderly
among small insects grappling between night stars
Arranging nothing around work and thoughts.
Doom moths but a thought they remembered
If all times branches never fell,
who took on their kingdoms before her?
So...

The Sea
I breathe in crisp, salty air.
Wind blows through my hair.
Feeling free,
The breeze gently caresses me.
I dip into the cold,
As waves start crashing, uncontrolled.
I frolic in the blue,
My clothes stuck to me like glue.
I giggle as I am pulled under,
Back to the surface I plunder.
Gasping for air,
The waves continue to tear.
I try to swim back to shore,
But the sea lets out a roar.
The violent water overtakes me,
It does not hear my plea.
The waves attack,
As everything goes black.
Wind blows through my hair.
Feeling free,
The breeze gently caresses me.
I dip into the cold,
As waves start crashing, uncontrolled.
I frolic in the blue,
My clothes stuck to me like glue.
I giggle as I am pulled under,
Back to the surface I plunder.
Gasping for air,
The waves continue to tear.
I try to swim back to shore,
But the sea lets out a roar.
The violent water overtakes me,
It does not hear my plea.
The waves attack,
As everything goes black.

What If
Constructive criticism please. I really want to work on my writing, starting with this piece.
Nobody will ever know your thoughts
Unless you let them
But what if you let them
And they leave?
What if they take the deepest parts of who you are
And they throw them in the garbage like left over take out.
Do you try and dig it out?
Do you dumpster dive for your own self or do you leave those pieces of yourself to die?
Have they been soiled by the carelessness of another human being, or have they been fertilized? ...

A new beginning
Today is a new day, one in which I have been given a chance to express my thoughts and emotions hopefully without hurting those who are most important to me in my life

Where’d you expect me to find it?
In smiling, laminated faces of college adverts?
Gameshows?
Waitrose cookbooks?
Life stories seasoned with cinematic appeal?
Try a King’s Cross crackhead, crater-eyed, speed
folded in a brochure for the Eight Noble Truths,
try seeing some strange man
screaming ‘I just wanna end it’ on Blackfriars bridge
and feeling too awkward to approach,
try reaching through your soul and yanking on its ballsack,
but wait,
let the high pitched whine die before you write, ...

He has a way with words
The words he speaks when there's something on his mind
Out of love, hate, frustration or spite
His words lay heavy regardless the type

Under The Stars
Under the stars
On a moonless night
I lay dreaming
of you tonight
I look at the stars
So far away
Tiny sparkles of light
Of a milky way
I wonder about you
As I look at the sky
You left without saying
Your final goodbye
I sleep with the thought
That you're out somewhere
One of the little stars
Twinkling from out there
On a moonless night
I lay dreaming
of you tonight
I look at the stars
So far away
Tiny sparkles of light
Of a milky way
I wonder about you
As I look at the sky
You left without saying
Your final goodbye
I sleep with the thought
That you're out somewhere
One of the little stars
Twinkling from out there

Sad moon
I look at the lonely moon
His face is sad and blue
The world around us is asleep
Its just me and you
He looks into my eyes
I look into his
He begins to share his story
As if I was his only.
His face is sad and blue
The world around us is asleep
Its just me and you
He looks into my eyes
I look into his
He begins to share his story
As if I was his only.

building block
a night-universe has been being built into my words by the silence
death has been being encoded into our specks of dust by a mute world
riddle had been inherited by entangling of one's hugged sin
the scream of putative love has been assumed behind a camouflage of fear
death has been being encoded into our specks of dust by a mute world
riddle had been inherited by entangling of one's hugged sin
