Another Day
Waking to the city’s cold embrace
Concrete boots, heart’s misplaced
City lights, mood’s a haze
Echoes of sirens, a bad day’s craze
Coffee’s my fix, frosty veins
Steel canyons, icy reins
Luck’s lost in alleyways
Howlin’ wind, urban disarray
Detective eyes, steel and gray
Neon signs, flicker and sway
Ghost town echoes, shadows play
Lone wolf’s howl, city decay
Guitar strummin’, subway hum
Ghost in the crowd, widow’s drum
Briefcase loaded, devil in disguise ...
Concrete boots, heart’s misplaced
City lights, mood’s a haze
Echoes of sirens, a bad day’s craze
Coffee’s my fix, frosty veins
Steel canyons, icy reins
Luck’s lost in alleyways
Howlin’ wind, urban disarray
Detective eyes, steel and gray
Neon signs, flicker and sway
Ghost town echoes, shadows play
Lone wolf’s howl, city decay
Guitar strummin’, subway hum
Ghost in the crowd, widow’s drum
Briefcase loaded, devil in disguise ...

Jack Tha Lad In Jack Land
Gino went and played pool every Friday night.
With his friend Stevie G, they'd go and have some pints.
The stress from his Mrs at home was wearing on his brain,
So he always wanted to cut it loose, so he didn't go insane!
One day, when he was off his bonce, he drank shots at the bar.
He pulled this little, fine ting, but he never took it far.
He would meet her every other day, and Emma was her name.
Till Poppy spotted them out one day and chased her down the lane.
Gino and Emma used to hook up, but only...

I can’t forget you
passed a woman
on the street
who was boasting
loudly/proudly
to her companions
how she’d once
smashed a bottle of
vodka into somebody’s face
it, you might
like to dish it out neat,
but lady,
you’re a mess ..

Untitled(Sounds of the City)
Untitled (Sounds of the City)
Dew hangs above the blades of grass
Like some Chinese weather balloon
Sink into the hammock of my sleep
As my thoughts dream their dreams
Pick up my thoughts and some coffee
Put em into the passenger side
With no safety belt
Train on the tracks that pass through town
Clack their clackety clacks
As the light turns green
Pick up the rhythm the city lays down
Hear the beep beep of reverse
Delivery at the market
Siren picks up where delivery left off ...
Dew hangs above the blades of grass
Like some Chinese weather balloon
Sink into the hammock of my sleep
As my thoughts dream their dreams
Pick up my thoughts and some coffee
Put em into the passenger side
With no safety belt
Train on the tracks that pass through town
Clack their clackety clacks
As the light turns green
Pick up the rhythm the city lays down
Hear the beep beep of reverse

Blonde Velvet Crush
Blond velvet crush
Nothing like a woman
Who can slay the dragon
Then lay down like a Maiden
Curls of the Sun with some lush lips
Pics up her axe and slays the crowd
Let’s her hair down
In a rock n roll underground
Slow it down take in everything
Baking cakes in an easy bake oven
Head is spinning
Ears are ringing
Getting lost in the skirt of this young lady
Slow it down watch everyone
Just staring on taking videos
As I watch my blond velvet crush
In a mosh pit
...

Finally Free From A Family Who No Longer Loves Me
Angela woke up,
saw the sun rising over
the Los Angeles
city scape and made herself
let out a gigantic smile.

The Eternal City
In days long past, when marble gleamed
And eagles soared where empires dreamed
There stood a city, carved in stone
That world has forever known
Her streets were paved with conquerors' tread
Her hills bore kings, her waters bled
In every arch and vaulted dome
The spirit soared, the heart of Rome
But what is Rome to one whose soul
Was born in times beyond her scroll?
To whom no Senate's echo calls
No legion marches through her halls
Yet still, beneath the modern skies
A Roman heart in silence cries ...
And eagles soared where empires dreamed
There stood a city, carved in stone
That world has forever known
Her streets were paved with conquerors' tread
Her hills bore kings, her waters bled
In every arch and vaulted dome
The spirit soared, the heart of Rome
But what is Rome to one whose soul
Was born in times beyond her scroll?
To whom no Senate's echo calls
No legion marches through her halls
Yet still, beneath the modern skies
A Roman heart in silence cries ...

of course you didn’t wait
making up a poem in my head or
wherever one does such a
thing is, I wasn’t looking where I
was going to write it
down the pub
you tut tut and stare at
your watch and I’m thirty five minutes
past late

If You Want My Opinion
Look, Penelope. If you want my
opinion, I would say moving
yourself to the city of
Los Angeles is more
better than staying
here and letting
Dad give you
only
grief.

The One Day My Sister Picks To Do Some Nude Photography
Alexandra was standing naked
and staring at the Manhattan
skyline while Rachel was in
the process of snapping
some photographs just
before Brandon
walks in on
the two
friends.

postal
Brisk walk, windchill
Leaves paint shadows on the sidewalk
A small flock of sparrows flit away
Avoiding my footfalls
A book tucked under my arm
I think of you fondly
It's the distance
Sending signals across the pond
Marred by fatal crossings
Leaves paint shadows on the sidewalk
A small flock of sparrows flit away
Avoiding my footfalls
A book tucked under my arm
I think of you fondly
It's the distance
Sending signals across the pond
Marred by fatal crossings

(broken) City Streets
the wretched burnt-orange sun
beats down on my broken car
as she thumps mindlessly through potholes
with windows down
we gaze at clowns
and the derelicts
and the dirty tricks
as they crawl
across the pavement
the lively beauties walk
amongst jackasses and Gemini's
confused hooligans steal
from random pedestrians
to feed addictions
fulfilling a need
they mean you no harm, indeed
despite their transgressions
we're all devoured
by our own deceptions
beats down on my broken car
as she thumps mindlessly through potholes
with windows down
we gaze at clowns
and the derelicts
and the dirty tricks

the lively beauties walk
amongst jackasses and Gemini's
confused hooligans steal
from random pedestrians
to feed addictions
fulfilling a need
they mean you no harm, indeed
despite their transgressions
