Travelling on the Highway
Twists and turns with gravelled edges
A sun frying whatever lays on this oven
Stones and rocks and pebbles and grit
Cars and bikes will never see fit
To travel one must voyage on feet
Machines die with thirst in this heat
A paved lane to indicate what’s right
The other side a graveyard of corpses
To show travellers what’s been left
A hazy murky misty presence
Omniscient so I cannot tell
What’s lies ahead and behind me
Making it easy to mislead me
Yet this presence settles not on the road
It rests on my eyes as I squint for light

Love Kills
I keep my mind and my sanity intact
I keep emotions at bay and far away
So maybe I could live for another day
Heartbreak and sob stories do not linger
I stray away and keep them off my trail
So maybe I could live for another day
I stroll amongst ghosts on this road
Incapable of hurting me like others
So maybe I could live for another day
The temptations of lovers I stay clear
Because love kills you so I run away
So maybe I could live for another day
But most importantly I stay away from you
Because once I lived for you ...
I keep emotions at bay and far away
So maybe I could live for another day
Heartbreak and sob stories do not linger
I stray away and keep them off my trail
So maybe I could live for another day
I stroll amongst ghosts on this road
Incapable of hurting me like others
So maybe I could live for another day
The temptations of lovers I stay clear
Because love kills you so I run away
So maybe I could live for another day
But most importantly I stay away from you
Because once I lived for you ...

Paternal Problems
Stained dishes sprawled across the counter
Muddy shoes intrudes on what was once clean
The television on with what pleases him
A sloth king who runs this household
Whilst a fair lady trails behind to right his wrongs
From the clothes thrown on the bed
To the dirty glasses left behind by his friends
He shouts and bellows whilst she cooks and cleans
This selfish beast has no mercy
A sinister shade in his eyes tell us
He lives on not a heart but evil
His duties laid out for her
Enforced with brutality
And he sits and sips her tea...

A Solar Solace
The summer isn't long enough
To capture the brilliance
There isn't enough time
To admire the beauty
The golden delight of radiance
Which crosses the horizon
And brings the great blue alive
Presenting itself in the vista
For eighteen hours
Of light filled haven
Where warmth surrounds us
And the intense radiance
Brings the world to mercy
As we lay ourselves on
Folding chairs and allow
The bronze glow to hit our skin
So condensed in
The warm wonderland
You become unaware
Of death...

Woeful Endings of a Sinner
A life of sin and I’m loving this paradise
Too busy enjoying not thinking of demise
I’m spending my nights in the decree of Satan
Anticipating my next drink always waiting
Not a word of God slips from my tongue
My wrongs are right and rights are wrong
It seems I’ve flipped this whole world over
I’m listening to the devil sitting on my shoulder
I’ve given up on my angels given in to demons
I’ve not got my sight set on the Gardens of Eden
I’m busy with my sins, digging deeper into this hole
Handing myself to the devil, giving him my soul
And...

*BREAKING NEWS*
Switching to BBC1 at 6 ‘o’ clock
I find nothing but dead men
Hacking phones
Death threats
Olympics killing zones
Stockbrokers broke
Gaddafi stubborn
A nurse who killed
An 84 year old woman
Somalia in poverty
Greece without money
And the weather girl saying
It’s not going to be sunny
The latest sports
Without Andy’s thoughts
And boring cricket
With something about wickets
I’ll press the power button
On this transmitter
But that doesn’t stop
Shit on Facebook and Twitter
I don’t know how
I’m still awake...

Music of a New Generation
They’ve scrapped the lyrics
And put repeated choruses
They’ve scrapped the choir
Put bass generating computers
They’ve scrapped the soul
And replaced us with machines...

Eye Love You
Brown blue green hazel it does not matter
What I see in the eyes is pass what is there
The physical beauty is nothing to me
For when I see the eyes I see the terror
I see the charm the sadness the loss the soul
The words that the person cannot say I read
From the eyes in their majestic holds on me
The tears of sorrow and cry make me weak
As the infectious emotion leaps on to me
Setting a river of tears free from within me
But the magic that fascinates me the most
Is when staring into the eyes of a beauty
And watching my heart beat to the flutter...
What I see in the eyes is pass what is there
The physical beauty is nothing to me

As the infectious emotion leaps on to me
Setting a river of tears free from within me

Reaper Reaping
Tears drown my face as I weep for myself
“It’s time” I hear you say but I beg of you
“Please, a few more years? I’m on my knees”
Clutching at the hems of my life and hoping
That my cries of despair will be heard
But no
Sinister forces have no mercy for me
It is time for my reckoning and it is swift
Pleas won’t be heard and time not delayed
As I’m dragged by the end of his scythe
I look up in hope to see a devilish leer
He looks down upon me smiling, tasting
The screams for another chance at life
But pointless, as...

Wounds with no Treatment, Pain which does not Cease
With deadly fangs like silver daggers
Quenching its hunger upon my wounds
I bleed and bleed from every artery
And it smacks its lips with delight
Knowing that it will feast tonight
This beast is life itself, leaving pain
Before me it taunts the worldly goods
But only gives me its scent and nothing
And when my guard is down it bites me
It never relinquishes its prey but feeds
On my misery, as I work to survive
But it has no mercy upon me
How hard I try to escape but I cannot
Its grasp is tight and its claws pierce me
But for a few hours...
Quenching its hunger upon my wounds
I bleed and bleed from every artery
And it smacks its lips with delight
Knowing that it will feast tonight
This beast is life itself, leaving pain
Before me it taunts the worldly goods
But only gives me its scent and nothing
And when my guard is down it bites me
It never relinquishes its prey but feeds
On my misery, as I work to survive
But it has no mercy upon me
How hard I try to escape but I cannot
Its grasp is tight and its claws pierce me
But for a few hours...

Clouds
White foam floating the skies
Woollen haven of water and air
Icy crystals glittering and shining
And glistening in the presence
Of a star which is envy of its beauty
Shapeless but with many shapes
Gently strolling the blue canvas
Unlike its grey kin wreaking havoc
Where only thunder is presented
And strokes of electricity bringing
The cries of the gods upon our pitiable planet
No, nothing like its kin
More tender and placid
Its amiable presence
Arrives with gentle showers
Of cooling droplets
To wash away our pain
And its...

The Day I was the Only Member on Deep Underground Poetry
I signed in
It was empty
Noone around
As if a plague
Had hit the site
Left me the survivor
Along with 13 other guests
This was the day
That noone signed in
Onto Deep Underground Poetry
As I posted my poem
I waited
Anticipated
I wondered
What had happened
Has everyone died?
Like Noah
Searching the oceans
For signs of life
I was left
With 13 other people
What a lucky number…
I spent a duration
Of an hour
Waiting
Anticipating
But noone came
So I posted this poem
Left
With confusion...
