POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
And they're my sisters?
Much like the cinderella book...
Theres me and them, just take a look...
The two of them they are as one...
Knock the sister back! what fun...
I watched for years, I read you both...
I stood on back, I took my oath...
To never trust a word you say...
Deciet was just your way of play...
Your bitter jealousy, yesit reined...
But strength in me, in time I gained...
To stand up strong, and tell you straight...
To be my sisters, its too late...
I loved you both, but you did not...
You'd bully me, I'd lose the plot...
You evil, skeaming, lying...
Theres me and them, just take a look...
The two of them they are as one...
Knock the sister back! what fun...
I watched for years, I read you both...
I stood on back, I took my oath...
To never trust a word you say...
Deciet was just your way of play...
Your bitter jealousy, yesit reined...
But strength in me, in time I gained...
To stand up strong, and tell you straight...
To be my sisters, its too late...
I loved you both, but you did not...
You'd bully me, I'd lose the plot...
You evil, skeaming, lying...

Hollow
Ever felt emptiness locked in your heart...
Ever felt your heart was tearing apart...
The empty it feels when kicked once again...
How many times, does it have to mend...
The soul it gets taken, and then is returned...
Once again fitted to heart, and then burned...
Why can the heart feel so, empty and lost...
To love once again, it is at our cost...
As strange as it seems, we cant get away...
The emptiness found, within just one day...
So how do we fix this, where do we go...
How many times does this hollowness show...
As soon as we stand and...

Fullfillment
To walk each day with a bounce in your step...
To lock up the warmth, your heart it has kept...
To wake each day to a day full of hope...
Not having to wonder if your gona cope...
A smile from others to help you succeed...
Just incase, you feel of the need...
A touch of a hand, a smile, maybetwo...
A lift in your life, ment just for you...
A loving man to stand by your side...
A trip in the car, lets go for a ride...
To see a sad face, to give them a smile...
They probably havent seen one in a while...
To go pay a bill and say, have a nice...

If only!
If only, there was a way just to trust!
If only, there was, a way more than lust!
But we no there isnt, no more than we see!
We no there isnt a way there for me!
Well I cant do no-more, I cant see the way!
I dont want it ever, to be now this way!
So off you go now, fullfill what you need!
I no only too well, you will near succeed!
Shes only a phonecall, I no that you do!
I looked on the toll bill, the only fools you!
So be what you may, I wont hold you back!
Its only compassion in you that you lack!
So go ahead, do it, I no that you will!...

Exs!
So when do they go? when are they past?
When does it happen, how long, how fast?
Do I just trust, do I just wait?
Do I just sit and wait for my fate?
No I don't think so, no I say not!
Is she just wanting, something ive got?
I wont just sit here, I wont be left!
I wont put myself out for the test!
If its her you want, If thats whats you!
Dont give me a thought, to me being blue!
She has the upper-hand as you no!
I will just pack my stuff and will go!
I will not come second to her!
I will not see, my life as a blur!
You no you can have...

What is trust
I told you dont go there, I said not to go...
But you had to do it, I said to you, no!...
I hope she was worth it, we discussed in length...
It wasnt in trust, I had any strength...
You just couldnt wait, after her call...
To go racing over, and then watch me fall...
Back into the pain ive felt all these years...
One call from her got you, running without fears...
Well I hope shes worth it, coz thats all it took...
Ive written at length about that in my book...
Your lively wee phonecall and then out the door...
Snatched up her gift you bought, so...

Childhood
The youngest of the six of us...
Let me grow up without a fuss...
My brothers they were there for me...
One of them,I looked after you see...
From a very early age...
A nurse I became, but in a cage...
To be there for my eldest bro...
It was so hard, youd never no...
But Mum and Dad were both at work...
Was up to me to help not shirk...
Then there was the sisters see...
Just wanted them to, accept me...
But jealousy would rein its head...
Me being the youngest, nothing more said...
But I was happy, my Dad with me...
Mum was good,...

compassion of my brother
A child cries, he hears her pain...
Without her Dad, shes not the same...
A loving hug it holds her tight...
With him around, no need to fight...
Shes nos hes there,to help her heal...
The pain she carries,he can feel...
My second brother out of three...
Hes always looking out for me...
No-matter where my life takes me...
Hes always there for me to see...
A friendly loving brother smile...
It helps me walk another mile...
To heal my pain he sees so deep...
He helps to stop me take that leap...
To be with Dad of whom I miss...

Walks along the golden sands..
Mornings wake is never bland...
Up I get my day to fill...
Mum and Dad, asleep, are still...
Wakey wakey, up you get...
This is my day, don't forget...
Me and Dad away to beach...
My hand extended for his reach...
Come on Dad, dont muck round...
After beach we're off to town...
Me and Dad we are as one...
With me and him, its always fun...
We ride our bikes, we build and fix things...
We sit at night and songs we sing...
I love you Dad, a hug I give...
Without you here, dont want to live...
Isnt...

Prayer to God!
Thankyou lord for helping me...
Helping me to really see...
What my life does have to offer...
You helped me out, no-one did bother...
All except now, just for one...
The man you sent, much like your son...
I thankyou for, finding me...
Before I hung, beneath a tree...
My life I felt, was at an end...
Accepted this without pretend...
But now I no, my life is full...
Full of love, and not of bull...
Thankyou God for healing me...
Healing! so that I could see...

Valentines day
A lifetime of no-one to care...
Morning at work, nothing to share...
Home I go, what does await...
Is there a present at the gate...
No! as I walk in the door...
Disapointment, as I look at the floor...
But what is that, that catches my eye...
The tears I shed, as I cry...
No! its flowers! a beautiful bunch...
I only came home to eat my lunch...
There they sit, a note attached...
For you my love! we are so matched...
My joy, it is so full of tears...
But its not sadness, made of fears...
It is joy, of...

Spare my Heart!
My mind is all a blundered mess...
My names not fool,my name is Jess...
The love I feel for you is wrong...
You hear it written down in songs...
I love you, you cant take that too...
My life is trapped like in a zoo...
My eyes are black, my body blue...
Just spare my heart, you had that too...
I felt my life was now all gone...
But then a savour came along...
He picked me up and saw my pain...
The loss of you, was to my gain...
The love for you, my cost, my life...
You cut me open like a knife...
Now my heart...
