POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Varying moods create the canvas to which I express myself with words... Words are the vehicle to which I offload my heart's burdens.

Clean my eyes
Clean my eyes
For I oft weep
The things I see around-
The misery and gloom on which I brood
tears me up.
Clean my eyes
For the starving children
The ones they show no more on television
Clean my eyes
For men have gone astray
I am lost in the crowd
I am alone - I am astray
Clean my eyes, clean my eyes
For the sorrow on which I brood
Oft tears me up
For I oft weep
The things I see around-
The misery and gloom on which I brood
tears me up.
Clean my eyes
For the starving children
The ones they show no more on television
Clean my eyes
For men have gone astray
I am lost in the crowd
I am alone - I am astray
Clean my eyes, clean my eyes
For the sorrow on which I brood
Oft tears me up

Glory and Honour
Glory and honour,
Drawn swords and blazing guns
We will all die but I will go out fighting
Folded flag and a 21 gun salute
I will be remembered a hero!
Drawn swords and blazing guns
We will all die but I will go out fighting
Folded flag and a 21 gun salute
I will be remembered a hero!

Melancholy is Intoxicating
My lows give me a high
Like no drink can.
My mind becomes focused, lasered.
Inspiration flows as I drown in the abyss of my darkness.
Feeling nothing but grief
Helps me Reassess
Whats important and
Whats a leech - sucking me up.
Lifes really a b*tch.
Melancholy sharpens my inner eye
It is my ultimate high.
Like no drink can.
My mind becomes focused, lasered.
Inspiration flows as I drown in the abyss of my darkness.
Feeling nothing but grief
Helps me Reassess
Whats important and
Whats a leech - sucking me up.
Lifes really a b*tch.
Melancholy sharpens my inner eye
It is my ultimate high.

DARK POEM

LAYered
Seeping through the cracks of my
Broken dreams...
Echoes of despair resound as
I hear the words ring;
Shame, failure, disgrace.
Hope betrayed me to misery,
The light...
let go of me to the deep.
Now pain is my medicine.
Broken dreams...
Echoes of despair resound as
I hear the words ring;
Shame, failure, disgrace.
Hope betrayed me to misery,
The light...
let go of me to the deep.
Now pain is my medicine.

Birthday poem 2
Let the rains fall down and
Take away the pains of yesterday,
Heal all my scars...
Let them wash the tears of regret
And lift the burden of guilt.
Let them help me
Be better, think better, do better...
Let them drench me and
Give me new vision
For tomorrow.
Take away the pains of yesterday,
Heal all my scars...
Let them wash the tears of regret
And lift the burden of guilt.
Let them help me
Be better, think better, do better...
Let them drench me and
Give me new vision
For tomorrow.

On the Brink of Madness
Alone and deserted by all,
Trying to matter
But my cries fall on deaf ears.
As the curtains fall
I discover no audience
Has been watching the show.
Tired of social media friends,
With their fake likes
And fake comments
And fake lives.
Tired of trying
to make sense of it all.
Trying to matter
But my cries fall on deaf ears.
As the curtains fall
I discover no audience
Has been watching the show.
Tired of social media friends,
With their fake likes
And fake comments
And fake lives.
Tired of trying
to make sense of it all.

To Love or Not to Love
The thoughful calls and sweet texts
Soon gave way to a flurry
Of coldness and deceit.
Maybe you got tired of waiting
Maybe you found another "special" one...
Why did you leave me in the dark?
To love or not to love to me is
To breathe or not to breathe.
Why am I so weak?
Soon gave way to a flurry
Of coldness and deceit.
Maybe you got tired of waiting
Maybe you found another "special" one...
Why did you leave me in the dark?
To love or not to love to me is
To breathe or not to breathe.
Why am I so weak?

Life Is A Cup of Tea
Sip or gulp, the choice is yours.
In this game the playing field is never even so...
We embrace all the chaos and
Hope someday beneath the madness
Our twisted dreams will make sense.
With sweat and blood we toil
Trying to leave a legacy,
Trying to matter,
Trying to be heard.
Your aroma is not entirely your fault
But when you are drunk of
What taste will you leave
In the mouth of others?
In this game the playing field is never even so...
We embrace all the chaos and
Hope someday beneath the madness
Our twisted dreams will make sense.
With sweat and blood we toil
Trying to leave a legacy,
Trying to matter,
Trying to be heard.
Your aroma is not entirely your fault
But when you are drunk of
What taste will you leave
In the mouth of others?

The Road
Overwhelming, you stretch
as far as the eye can see.
You are a teacher we must learn from,
No breaks because
Class is always in session.
Untamed, you are a master
and all are your subjects.
Impartial, you give reap of sown.
No one escapes you
For you connect dreams to reality.
Winding and snaking
as far as the eye can see.
The road
tells all
tests all
tames all
Nothing escapes the road.
as far as the eye can see.
You are a teacher we must learn from,
No breaks because
Class is always in session.
Untamed, you are a master
and all are your subjects.
Impartial, you give reap of sown.
No one escapes you
For you connect dreams to reality.
Winding and snaking
as far as the eye can see.
The road
tells all
tests all
tames all
Nothing escapes the road.

Gone
Sunset turns the clear water pale
The albatross roosts home
as my love and I walk along the pier,
Hand in hand.
No words are uttered
But the feelings are clear.
Will I be killed by a bullet or shell
Or the hell of knowing I might never see you again.
"Come back to me" she said
It's been two years now and the war is over
Not even the guns, tanks
Or the fury of a thousand bombs
Could stop me from returning to you.
But when I do
You are not there.
Disease they said.
Fighting to save the world,
But I couldn't...
The albatross roosts home
as my love and I walk along the pier,
Hand in hand.
No words are uttered
But the feelings are clear.
Will I be killed by a bullet or shell
Or the hell of knowing I might never see you again.
"Come back to me" she said
It's been two years now and the war is over
Not even the guns, tanks
Or the fury of a thousand bombs
Could stop me from returning to you.
But when I do
You are not there.
Disease they said.
Fighting to save the world,
But I couldn't...

Personal creed
There are times
When a fog seems to cover my vision
And the field becomes blurry
But there is a silence
In my inside...
In the depths on my heart
It gives me balance and direction.
No matter the outlook
If I follow my heart
I will always get to my destination
When a fog seems to cover my vision
And the field becomes blurry
But there is a silence
In my inside...
In the depths on my heart
It gives me balance and direction.
No matter the outlook
If I follow my heart
I will always get to my destination
