Apple Poem
The Apple Of My Eye
I wished I was an apple
Hanging from a tree
I'd polish my skin and sparkle
In the hope that you'd pick me...
And when you bite into my flesh
I will help you to feel younger
A part of me will be with you
I will quench your thirst and hunger...
But if your to walk right on by
Then my shiny skin will wilt
So being Scottish I'll tart it up
And cover it with my kilt...
So either way Im that very apple
The one that you really should choose
Be quick to pick me from my branch
For if you...
I wished I was an apple
Hanging from a tree
I'd polish my skin and sparkle
In the hope that you'd pick me...
And when you bite into my flesh
I will help you to feel younger
A part of me will be with you
I will quench your thirst and hunger...
But if your to walk right on by
Then my shiny skin will wilt
So being Scottish I'll tart it up
And cover it with my kilt...
So either way Im that very apple
The one that you really should choose
Be quick to pick me from my branch
For if you...

The Source Of Me
Should my soul decide its time to move on
Or should my body decide to stop playing host
This carcass I carry myself around in
Is the part of me that will suffer most
But maybe it's surplus to my requirements?
Perhaps it's time to set it free?
It's not the source of me so I don't mind
My soul is the source of me...
I've travelled many a mile in this frame I use
But it's starting to slow me down
It's the age of me that gets in the way
So I'm not prepared to stay here and drown.
Maybe it's time to wrestle with myself ...
Or should my body decide to stop playing host
This carcass I carry myself around in
Is the part of me that will suffer most
But maybe it's surplus to my requirements?
Perhaps it's time to set it free?
It's not the source of me so I don't mind
My soul is the source of me...
I've travelled many a mile in this frame I use
But it's starting to slow me down
It's the age of me that gets in the way
So I'm not prepared to stay here and drown.
Maybe it's time to wrestle with myself ...

Juxtaposition
Juxtaposition
Some say we're opposites
Some say we're incompatible
I say thats nonsense
I think we're adaptable.
Opposites attract were told
And I believe that sincerely
For my desire of wanting you
Is sure to grow stronger yearly.
And yes! I know we're different
And we have different ideas
But we both shares trust and respect
And good values to finally free us.
Some might think we're opposites
And that we could never be
Well I think we should give us a chance
But sadly, its not just up...

Blasphemy
I should be nailed to the cross for blasphemy
I should be stoned because I've been racist
Throw me in jail for the crimes in my head
Punish me because I once was ageist...
But I'm not like that now, that was the youth in me
With wisdom comes maturity and grace
Every mans soul shines bright like a star
Regardless of the colour of his face
I walk amongst greatness also amongst the poor
The rich and all who fit in between
No colour of skin or different language spoken
Will change my views now that I've seen...
Beauty...

Home
Home
How can I call this home when it doesnt feel like it?
Four walls, ceilings and some doors, but something doesnt fit?
So tart it up with paint and stuff, curtains, carpets and rugs...
But its still nowhere as important as love, kisses and hugs...
I dont feel like I belong here, im really not content
Theres just an overwhelming feeling and its one of real contempt...
But anywhere I go Im gonna feel walled in
Theres no escape, no running away, its a feeling from within...
So why is this thing called home making me feel trapped...

Mobile Phone Madness
Mobile Phone Madness
It buzzes, it rings, it vibrates
It lights up every other minute
Its like the world simply cant wait
Like everyones bloody living in it!
Then a peep followed by another?
Its Amazon trying to get my attention
Gumtree too, are they Amazon's Brother?
Trying to sell shit to me like a pension.
Then the news reel will jingle with stories
Updates on whats happening outside
Its all despair, no glories
In a world that makes you want to hide.
Facebook, Ah! Facebook is the worst
It...

Moral Indignation
Moral Indignation
Hard facts prove to be fallible
Suspicion thrust upon the unsuspecting
Nothing is proof that's not tangeable
Foul words often need dissecting...
I stand with a force behind me
Its backed up with honesty and truth
I wont criticise what my eyes cannot see
Playing games or acting aloof !
With fists firmly clenched my brain reacts
Cos no one has the right to apply blame
Not first without knowing all the facts
Imposing upon the innocent, shame..
I stand justified to consider reason
I stand...

This Is Not A Poem
This Is Not A Poem
This might sound like a poem
But I promise you its not
It's just a collection of words
That I very nearly forgot...
They were lying scattered around
In a huge jumbled up collection
So I brought them over here
Obviously for their own protection..
Words like combobulate
And others like rudimental
Bombardier and persecuted
And sad ones like sentimental...
Why are they lying around I wondered?
Are they the start of something great?
Or are they just disregarded off cuts? ...

Just Because......
Just because...
Just because I don't show it
That don't mean that I don't cry
It's because I do not show it
That makes you question why?
Just because I don't say it
That don't mean that its not true
It's because I don't say the things I feel
That helps me protect you..
I could tell you things you want to hear
But what would that achieve?
Perhaps you wouldn't believe it?
It may sound like make believe...
Just because you don't believe it
That don't make me untrusting
I always try to tell the truth
Cos...
Just because I don't show it
That don't mean that I don't cry
It's because I do not show it
That makes you question why?
Just because I don't say it

I'm Not Stupid
Fuck off! Do you think that im stupid?
Dont treat me as if i am daft!
Build for me a ship made of steel...
Not a worthless balsa wood raft.
Many oceans I need to cross
Many seas I simply must travel
I want to see so many things
I have so much still to unravel
My eyes have seen just a smidgen
My nose has smelt not near enough smells
My ears have heard only chaos
And my brain? It constantly yells
So build me a boat made of iron
No make it from stainless steel
I need it to last the rest of my life
Build...
Dont treat me as if i am daft!
Build for me a ship made of steel...
Not a worthless balsa wood raft.
Many oceans I need to cross
Many seas I simply must travel
I want to see so many things
I have so much still to unravel
My eyes have seen just a smidgen
My nose has smelt not near enough smells
My ears have heard only chaos
And my brain? It constantly yells
So build me a boat made of iron
No make it from stainless steel

The Soulful Movement
The Soulful Movement
Watching closely at every twist and turn
Every jump or skip my heart makes
Nothing can take away my woes
Like when I'm rolling in my roller skates...
Colours like rainbows whizz by me
Beautiful I expect but I'm blind
When I'm out in my roller skates
There's nothing except skates on my mind...
The breeze I create takes away my blues
All my worries seem to just disappear?
If rolling hand in hand with my partner
She gracefully takes away all my fear...
Adults and Children can all join in...
Watching closely at every twist and turn
Every jump or skip my heart makes
Nothing can take away my woes
Like when I'm rolling in my roller skates...
Colours like rainbows whizz by me
Beautiful I expect but I'm blind
When I'm out in my roller skates
There's nothing except skates on my mind...
The breeze I create takes away my blues
All my worries seem to just disappear?
If rolling hand in hand with my partner
She gracefully takes away all my fear...
Adults and Children can all join in...

A Feather From An Angel
Butterflies remind me of you
Like a feather that's just fell from heaven
Your aura is bright like the butterflies
And you've got me on cloud eleven...
Like the butterfly your delicate and gentle
And you too should spread your beautiful wings,
But fly to me my Darling, Please?
Cos it's only for you my heart sings...
My heart beats loud like an orchestra
Someone's beating hard on the bass drum
Its thudding and thumping inside my chest
Time after time and then some...
The strings too are being plucked and pulled ...
Like a feather that's just fell from heaven
Your aura is bright like the butterflies
And you've got me on cloud eleven...
Like the butterfly your delicate and gentle
And you too should spread your beautiful wings,
But fly to me my Darling, Please?
Cos it's only for you my heart sings...
My heart beats loud like an orchestra
Someone's beating hard on the bass drum
Its thudding and thumping inside my chest
Time after time and then some...
The strings too are being plucked and pulled ...
