happy-ness
carry that shit
where people can view it
don't be rolling your sleeves
up over it
trying to hold it tough
let it ooze
through those clenched teeth
taut lips peeled back
in smile
when anyone has the audacity
to question it
~~~~~~~~~~
prayhaps
this happiness is held
just for me to deeply drink
for a lengthy spring afternoon
in the sun
to savor
where questions
never belong
where people can view it
don't be rolling your sleeves
up over it
trying to hold it tough
let it ooze
through those clenched teeth
taut lips peeled back
in smile
when anyone has the audacity
to question it
~~~~~~~~~~
prayhaps
this happiness is held
just for me to deeply drink
for a lengthy spring afternoon
in the sun

where questions
never belong

The Last Days in Paradise
Simps were going to
save the world just
because they
simply stuck
around
all the president’s
subpoenas
bring back the
hillbillies
who ran these crime-
ridden cities?
well, you get what
you voted for
I don’t need the
vaccine
I’m already
inoculated
all I knew how
to do was make a
bare survival and
write into the
ether
bad decisions
pistol whippings
crystal visions
we did what we
did
...

perfect lines

thoughts that need capturing
flirting in momentary genius
spectacular in all that's coveted

of that moment
in rare unique

The First Coo Coos Of Spring!
Yahoo! Pigeon poo
Who could ask for more?
Spending a lazy Sunday afternoon
Scrapings away galore
But this time they're not guilty
For the leaking's in the flat just below
Puddles on the BalconY
With nowhere to easily flow
So have cancelled out the Pigeon Pie
Despite their messy habits woe
But i may well go slightly Cuckoo
If my Balconies rivers don't flow
This is a true story
Of my plight
On this day 11th April
Spent scraping up Pigeon shi/poo!

Stand with Me
Drink whiskey from my lips
Northern man
I walk lonely
Watching you approach
In the darkness of night
Between the High Line
Down to my line
Solitary
Without purpose
Until you
Stand with me ....
Northern man
I walk lonely
Watching you approach
In the darkness of night
Between the High Line
Down to my line
Solitary
Without purpose
Until you
Stand with me ....

Almost a writer
Stale black ink once radiant
Its luster brave and bold
Found hidden in an old desk drawer
Beside the fountain pen I thought I sold
The sword’s blade dull and broken
The sacred blood run cold
A hero cowered in a corner
A gambler forced to fold
And there beneath the pen and ink
The lines still gasped and groaned
Remnants of an unfinished story
The pristine silk unsewn
The ink spots almost useless
Appearing lifeless, stiff and blue
Interred within the constraints
Of the words I once knew
Once...
Its luster brave and bold
Found hidden in an old desk drawer
Beside the fountain pen I thought I sold
The sword’s blade dull and broken
The sacred blood run cold
A hero cowered in a corner
A gambler forced to fold
And there beneath the pen and ink
The lines still gasped and groaned
Remnants of an unfinished story
The pristine silk unsewn
The ink spots almost useless
Appearing lifeless, stiff and blue
Interred within the constraints

"The Hardest Sell" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 14/11/2018
Well Well Well .....
It’s CLEAR The HARDEST SELL ...
Is Where REALITY Dwells ... !!!
But It Does Seem ...
That Media Teams ...
Choose To Sell REALITY ...
When It Brings TRAGEDIES ... !!!
Whilst Selling of Souls ...
DOESN'T Seem So Hard ...
If You LACK Heart ...
And CHOOSE To Go ...
Where Corruption Flows ...
From Dating To Playing ...
Like ... Michael Clayton ... !!!
The Hard Sell’s Stationed ...
In ... " SAFER Locations " ...
Than Those Now Relating ...

Word Rocket
I don't spit truth on a dare
I do it because I care
I believe that hope
is the ultimate dope
And that not with guns but with stroke of a pen
that world-wide revolutions begin
My poems are more powerful than the missile called a Tomahawk
if you read one you will know that's not just talk
Tonight I am going to light up the sky
and let this one fly
As sure as electricity comes out of my light socket
I am aiming for your mind with this word rocket
...

A Thousand Cuts
What’s on the lesson plan for today I asked?
The professor smiled and spun the wheel
It landed on snakes and arrows
That’s when suddenly I began to feel…
The barrel of my pen grew and soared then became a feral sword
With words ready to burn and slay in a progression of chords
A thousand cuts I once bled with dread healed and lead me here
Saying: I have to keep on fighting without the sorrow or any fear
I picked up the steel to wield the fire then protect and shield
The love I carry is a delicate thing to bare or leave unsealed ...
