POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Comedy writer and also write serious stuff from the heart when I'm in the mood. Without humour life has no real balance and we take ourselves too seriously. I use humour as armour against the slings and arrows of outrageous circumstance. ;-)
Respect
Ya call me dumb ass Nigga I pull m’trigga
Ain’t takin’ dat shit no mo’
Standin’ over yu drinka full rum jigga

Dark Mirror
Is there a mirror darker than my soul
Is there a reflection still of what I once was
Mind mysteries circle awaiting prey
To be revealed at break of day
A dream or reality how to tell
Just a dream with values thereof
Or reality within the confines of my hell
Where once was love
Peering at the dark reflection
Was it introjection caused my change
And damned me for every inflection
Of speech that was not my own truth
I lied to hide my introspection
Which knew I lied to hide my fear
Of rejection
Guilty
Of being...

For Shaunda
My darling girl what can I say
To try to take your pain away
There are no words to simlpy heal
The kind of agony that you feel
But if it helps meditate on this
That from now until the final kiss
Of death upon your tortured head
Those days and nights of former dread
Try though it be so hard please try
To forgive and pardon days gone by
Not for his sake but for yours alone
Then your life you’ll once more own
When you do you maybe you’ll see
That you’ve been a prisoner of he
Who vilely took your youth away
And that you...
To try to take your pain away

Try though it be so hard please try
To forgive and pardon days gone by
Not for his sake but for yours alone
Then your life you’ll once more own
When you do you maybe you’ll see
That you’ve been a prisoner of he
Who vilely took your youth away

The Real John Peel
Do ye ken John Peel? Have ye heard him play?
Blasting his horn at the break of day?
He’s a noisy little bugger and I wished he’d go away,
So I could get some kip in the morning.
Well he woke me up, I was feeling rough,
I’d a hangover head and I’d had enough,
So I went down stairs an’ I grabbed him by the scruff,
To ‘explain’ my point of view in the morning.
Then I grabbed his balls and gave them a squeeze,
He gave a shriek and his horn gave a wheeze,
I said shut that fuckin’ row and I’m not saying please,
Or I’ll kick yer bloody arse in...

Skydive
The plane takes off on wobbly wings
My heart sings excited delighted
We soar no door
Crammed in tight kneeling on floor
Round we go and far below
The sea and lakes
The earth swings soft
Oceans of air rushing gushing
Helmet strap tight beneath my chin
Running in
Cut!
The shout we throttle back
Stall warner's scream
Surreal dream
Sharp tap on back get out
Onto the step lean on the strut
Look in
Unburnt fuel like smelling salts
Assaults the brain high octane
Aphrodisiac smell neck hair rises...

Worthless
Worthless now
Blank eyes stare at the moon
Your unseen sin wins
You’ll know it was you
Who made me do it
May the guilt live within you
Burn your soul as mine burns
With shame
And possess you ‘til the end of days
As you possessed me illicitly
I went to the mosque and prayed
May Allah in his mercy forgive you
May you have a daughter one day
May she be protected respected always
Then you will know
The magnitude of your deeds
Live in fear and repentance of them
A mile away lights blaze
In my eyes sorrow haze...

Live in fear and repentance of them

Pisspotical Prose
Write a poem deep light or trite
It can be great or total shite
But this time
Don’t make it rhyme
Not fashionable you see
God knows why
But just don’t try
To make any sense
Or they’ll think you dense
Anything goes
Pisspotical prose
Obscure manure
If they don’t understand your incomprehensible drivel
They’ll shrivel
Before offering a negative critique
Proving they don’t understand
Of what you speak
Like the King’s New Clothes
They shall expose
The bare arse of their folly ...

Questions form
About the world challenge the norm
The Jihad on reason confusion reigns
We need a saviour
Politicos spout verbal diarrhoea
As doomsday draws ever nearer
Who will hear the voices of the lost
The screams of the dreamers dying
The wails of the woebegone trying
To be heard by the herd
Prophets of destruction hold sway
And nature left to defray
The cost of verminous multitudes
Soothed by disingenuous platitudes
Taking ever taking
Look away look away
It didn’t happen yesterday
It hasn’t...

Once Upon a Time
I loved you
I trusted you completely
Joyously
Deliriously I danced in your sunshine
Gladly I suffered your rain
Readily I forgave
You who caused me pain
I ran rapturously
Through bright forests of youth
Your every spoken word my truth
My heart sang to be alive
Then:
You slayed me
Betrayed me
Still I forgave and forgave again
Until your lust forced distrust
Abused ill-used
Lost
Totally confused
Oh yes
Once upon a time
I was a child
I trusted you completely
Joyously
Deliriously I danced in your sunshine
Gladly I suffered your rain
Readily I forgave
You who caused me pain
I ran rapturously
Through bright forests of youth
Your every spoken word my truth
My heart sang to be alive
Then:
You slayed me
Betrayed me
Still I forgave and forgave again
Until your lust forced distrust
Abused ill-used
Lost
Totally confused
Oh yes
Once upon a time
I was a child
