Only You Will Do
On this lengthy, desolate path I tread,
Alone, uncertain of where it may lead.
Never did I think I'd reach this place,
Yearning for speed, then embracing slow pace.
Hope turned to despair, a bleak display,
For this journey, regardless, ends the same way.
My search for another, I no longer pursue,
No one but you, my heart truly knew.
The real thing replaced, now yearning to hold,
Wasted days and nights on empty highs, I'm told.
Enduring hardships, my worst to endure,
Only to discover, my need for you is pure.
Gazing...

Vodka Smoothie Bender
In the heart of Essex, on a summer's night,
Beneath the moon's glow, shining so bright,
A tale unfolds, of great delight,
Of vodka smoothies and a wild, late-night flight.
The air was warm, the breeze caressed,
As the stars winked down, their secrets pressed,
A group of friends, seeking respite,
Set their sights on a vodka-filled night.
Through country lanes, they ventured deep,
Laughter and music, their souls to keep,
With windows down, and arms outstretched,
They savored freedom, in every breath.

A coma like slumber
In twilight's grasp, I seek a calming bed,
Where dreams unfold and slumber softly sings,
As shadows dance, a peaceful scene is spread,
A lullaby that gently soothes and brings.
Like whispered tales, my thoughts begin to roam,
Drifting in realms where time's hands softly creep,
Where weary minds find solace far from home,
And worries, gentle fooleries, retreat.
Oh, slumber's touch, a tranquil lullaby,
Wrapped in a blanket of serene repose,
Serenading whispers, silkily sigh,
Embracing hearts with rest that gently flows.
...

And worries, gentle fooleries, retreat.
Oh, slumber's touch, a tranquil lullaby,
Wrapped in a blanket of serene repose,
Serenading whispers, silkily sigh,
Embracing hearts with rest that gently flows.

Life's bitter streets
In these dark streets, where shadows twist and moan,
Lives rugged souls, venturing all alone.
They trot on pavements paved with sorrow's cost,
Where the bones of urban legends are lost.
Living rough, on the margins, they lament,
Through concrete jungles, wild and discontent.
These alleys, their fortresses in the night,
They seek solace, by the pale streetlight.
Drunk on life's bitter nectar, they succumb,
To the whiskey's embrace, where demons hum.
Their spirits rise, swaying in the dark air,
Amidst shattered glass, they find...
Lives rugged souls, venturing all alone.
They trot on pavements paved with sorrow's cost,
Where the bones of urban legends are lost.
Living rough, on the margins, they lament,
Through concrete jungles, wild and discontent.
These alleys, their fortresses in the night,
They seek solace, by the pale streetlight.
Drunk on life's bitter nectar, they succumb,
To the whiskey's embrace, where demons hum.
Their spirits rise, swaying in the dark air,
Amidst shattered glass, they find...

Dreams
She lies on the bed,
Her hands pressed to her aching head,
And tears stream down her face,
He revels in chaos, a cruel embrace,
He entertains the crowd, she takes the blame,
But how can she fight when she's not his main aim?
These dreams have let you down,
But don't let them shatter, in despair drown,
These dreams won't drag you low,
Keep loving, even when his power may show.
All the moments that should have been,
Lost in a haze, like a stage unreal and keen,
There's a void where he should have stood,
No one's more...
Her hands pressed to her aching head,
And tears stream down her face,
He revels in chaos, a cruel embrace,
He entertains the crowd, she takes the blame,
But how can she fight when she's not his main aim?
These dreams have let you down,
But don't let them shatter, in despair drown,
These dreams won't drag you low,
Keep loving, even when his power may show.
All the moments that should have been,
Lost in a haze, like a stage unreal and keen,
There's a void where he should have stood,
No one's more...

Lost without you
Alone I stand on the desolate platform,
Time relentlessly slips away,
In my heart, disbelief takes hold,
Once again, you choose to depart.
Lost in a crossword's embrace,
A man finds fleeting solace,
If only I could find the same,
But thoughts of you consumed my being.
Where do you seek shelter,
When you escape from my presence?
The sun's radiance faded away,
With the departing grip of summer's warmth.
Where do you run, seeking sanctuary,
In the depths of solitary solace?
Tell me, my love, ...
Time relentlessly slips away,
In my heart, disbelief takes hold,
Once again, you choose to depart.
Lost in a crossword's embrace,
A man finds fleeting solace,
If only I could find the same,
But thoughts of you consumed my being.
Where do you seek shelter,
When you escape from my presence?
The sun's radiance faded away,
With the departing grip of summer's warmth.
Where do you run, seeking sanctuary,
In the depths of solitary solace?
Tell me, my love, ...

Grave raven
In a gloomy place where sadness holds its grip,
Where lost souls wander aimlessly, consumed by grief,
There exists a forgotten realm, where melancholy reigns,
And the mournful echoes of ravens fill the darkest skies.
Within this somber city, where death rules supreme,
A land of withered flowers and memories filled with pain,
A place where lifeless graves stand, a valley of misery,
And ghostly figures dance among the epitaphs we see.
Under the hollow gaze of the moon, on endless still nights,
A crow with ominous feathers spills across...
Where lost souls wander aimlessly, consumed by grief,
There exists a forgotten realm, where melancholy reigns,
And the mournful echoes of ravens fill the darkest skies.
Within this somber city, where death rules supreme,
A land of withered flowers and memories filled with pain,
A place where lifeless graves stand, a valley of misery,
And ghostly figures dance among the epitaphs we see.
Under the hollow gaze of the moon, on endless still nights,
A crow with ominous feathers spills across...
