POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Know me, know me not But if I write poems I'll not be forgot
A Whisper For You
A Whisper (For You)
If I were a whisper,
I'd gently caress your ear
My promise to you my Darling
Is the sweetest words you could hear.
If I were a phrase,
I'd be a unique one especially for you
No one would ever hear it my love
Cos its strictly designed for us two!
If I were a paragraph,
I would be well over a million words
There's so much I long to say to you
There's so much you haven't yet heard.
If I were a fictional story,
Then everything would finally make sense
But our stories rather...

Strike At Your Will
Strike At Your Will
Break my back if that's what you want to do?
Severe my spine with your blade
My eyes have seen all they needed to see
So go ahead,I'm not afraid...
My feet have travelled to corners far and wide
They've bled all the bleeding that they could
But with fortitude they've marched on courageously
Many storms they've proudly withstood.
My nose has smelled many a fragrant smell
The scent of a beautiful woman still lingers
I will always admire this particular butterfly
But for now shes slipped through my...

In Love With My Best Friend (But She Dont Know)
Pimples congregate on my arms
and on the back of my neck
Hair stands up as my eyes dilate
and my heart palpitates like a wreck...
My pulse starts to race like an athletes,
I can hear the thuds in my ears
My heart is thumping like an orchestra
and its taking me back in my years...
Butterflies assualt my stomach,
as a windfarm blows strong in my chest...
Sweat starts flowing, my hands get wet
and I'm not feeling at all at my best...
Baubles and beads of sweat escape
trickling all over...
and on the back of my neck
Hair stands up as my eyes dilate
and my heart palpitates like a wreck...
My pulse starts to race like an athletes,
I can hear the thuds in my ears
My heart is thumping like an orchestra
and its taking me back in my years...
Butterflies assualt my stomach,
as a windfarm blows strong in my chest...
Sweat starts flowing, my hands get wet
and I'm not feeling at all at my best...
Baubles and beads of sweat escape
trickling all over...

Silent Screams
Silent Screams
24/08/2017
Please don't fall asleep on an empty mind
Allow it to flourish and dream
If you need to be silent be silent
If you need to scream then scream
But don't just lie there looking vacant
Trigger the thoughts in your head
Remember today and what went on
Remember everything everyone said.
Conjure up a bright mystical plan
Colourful and bursting with fun
Its the start of a million parts of your dream
Overloaded yet its only begun
So don't fall asleep on an empty mind
Let all of your...

Retrospective Of Scott Millar
Scott Millar :-
Saddling up in the background
Ready to escape at my will
I've learned so many truths about me
Many memories I'd like to kill...
Being the youngest of three boys
In a family of six
I always felt I had to protect myself
From my Brothers stones and sticks
I turned myself into plastic
Not the brittle type, the robust
Surviving the deprevation
I've had to do what I must.
Not that my Brothers were evil or that
Nor were any of my 3 Sisters
We had an ignorant child like life ...

Shopping Trip in Leith
A neon light was flashing at me
Inviting me to come in
It was vibrant but vulgar too
As it illuminated my ageing skin.
So with trepidation I investigated
What the light was trying to promote
I put one foot through the door
As a lump got lodged in my throat.
I could smell a familiar welcoming smell
It was hanging strong in the air
And the silence felt intimidating
So my head was saying beware.
But onward I pushed upon the door
It squeaked loudly as I entered
Embarrassing as hell but I remember thinking ...

Mockingbird
Poor little mocking bird sitting on a tree
Bothering no one at all...
Along came 3 crows as cruel as can be
Saying "Are you mocking us you troll"?
Leave me alone said the mocking bird
" Why do you feel the need to bully me"?
Cos that's what we do said the nasty old crow
Asking "Who said you could sit in our tree"?
But the mocking bird was wise, wiser than an owl,
So he replied with nothing at all...
The 3 nasty crows gave him a scowl,
But the mocking bird proudly stood tall...
One by one they...

It's always there in the background
At first I thought it was weird?
It constantly whispers in the corner
And it's never just disappeared...
It's just a tiny little jingle
It jingles all day and night
Someone once told me it's the dead getting in touch...
Reminding us they still shine bright...
If I make a slight turn of my head
From either my left or my right
The tingling becomes slightly louder
As it occupies the night...
One time I got down on my knees
And...

Rainbow Kisses
I've seen a rainbow kiss the ocean waves,
I've seen a bluebird snuggle up to his mate
I've seen the blue sky compliment a yellow rapeseed field
I've seen a river flow on time, he's never late.
I've seen an African man supporting a Chinese woman,
I've seen a dog and cat share the same bed
I've seen my butterfly flap her wings with pride
I've seen the Moon come out so the Owl gets fed.
I've seen a waterfall irrogating a field of tulips,
I've seen a child ride on the back of his dog
I've seen a dream escape and reach up to...

Society Before & During Lockdown
Do we really care about what we care about?
Or do we all just plod along?
Eyes wide open but with no real vision
Seeing nothing clearly as the day goes on.
Discarded intentions decaying daily
As we shuffle from one thought to another,
Many distractions that change our paths
From day one as we depart from our Mother.
Ignorant to the needs of the many
Cos were all focused on our own lives,
Blinded by an ignorant society
Man attacking Man with bloodied knives.
City life is like being in a rugby scrum
But not sporting in any...

My Thought Dreams
My Thought Dreams
Ive lived my life so many times
But only in my head
Played with new scenarios
Whilst lying in my bed.
This life I have aint what I thought
My life was going to be,
A troubles past I cant shake off
That seems to follow me.
Supersonic me to the future
So I can go check it out
If I do wrong I can put it right
Before it comes about,
Better still, rewind my life
Let me start again
I think I'd change almost everything
Except for you, my friend.
Where would I...
