Who Really Knows
I know
Do you know
Do they know
You just think you know
That I don't know
But I know
You think you know
That I don't know
They know
But not yet, they will know
They just want to know
But they don't know
Not yet, that you know
They'll learn to know
But as soon as they know
They will know
They really don't know
Because only I know
It will seem I don't know
And all else will know
But I alone will only know
What you think you know
And what they think they know ...
Do you know
Do they know
You just think you know
That I don't know
But I know
You think you know
That I don't know
They know
But not yet, they will know
They just want to know
But they don't know
Not yet, that you know
They'll learn to know
But as soon as they know
They will know
They really don't know
Because only I know
It will seem I don't know
And all else will know
But I alone will only know
What you think you know
And what they think they know ...

Swipe
I did again
I did again
What did I gain
WHHAAA- swipe :)
Here I am and it's ten fifty five at night I'm swiping again at them dating apps mrrraaagh
I don't really know what I stand to gain again I'm faced with this argument
(Like do you ever read the room or your emotions?)
I have no self control when it comes to being alone I don't
mhm..
(And repetition doesn't drive you crazy?)
Awh man, I'm glad now that you asked it's been the 4th month back to back with this
(With what?)
Whit this!

William and Kate both look for reassurance, as quite obviously they do have imposter syndrome!
By Stanley Collymore
Why does that British emigre
and his awful American
wife always have to
simply put on a show for the cameras?
Oh hang on a minute I've got it wrong,
those two that we're really seeing are
Kate and William! Ah, how effectively
sweet! And, they're so clearly in love!
Yet, if Harry and Meghan hold hands
in public or express their undeniably
genuine and keenly loving emotions
towards each other they're naturally
according to that abundance of vile
racist...

Royal ostriches certainly out in force and likewise farce!
By Stanley Collymore
Liz Windsor! What did she ever do

Having long holidays and
not paying any tax for years! This is the
very woman that effectively personally
and quite distinctly simply had herself

her Windsor family, very attendant as
expected from her with their actually
distinctly purposely employed, white
racist staffers, and other employees

ETERNALLY BURN

orig poem & writer
Wide Awake
in the morning sun,
in the
rearview mirror
I observe the
Damage
the
Night before
has done,
wondering if i'm
the only one
that is
Tormented
and
Abused,
left in
emptyness..
Empty,but
filled with
Stress,
getting to
familiar
with the
Loneliness,
Noone to
talk to
or be with....

Nervous Hospital
Sun falls away from earth...Sun of shadows...Eclipse opens the sky. Afternoon of unsettling covers all with disquieted empty thoughts. Sunset bowing out...Arrival of night...The Alpha of dark is birthed once again. Sombre of darkness is the canopies amongst the swaying trees...For the night holds secrets, that man can never see. One's mind of unbalanced is his nature...An oddity not a curse...Can see night at it's best, for he has studied it while everyone rest. Nobody knows his orignal origin of nature...Nobody knows if this unknown animal, beast of primitive man, or an alien who fell from...

I'm surprised the protestant Church of England hasn't asked the Vatican, RC, if Kate can be made a Saint!
By Stanley Collymore
All this pointless propaganda
and basically, really quite so
bloody unnecessary as the
monarchical fawners, brownnosers
and sick brainwashed sycophants,
of whom they're many and far too
stupid, to recognize when they're
being had while the undoubtedly
distinctly, very clearly intelligent
folk within the UK and of whom
there's basically, a very definite
scarcity; won't be seen, on this
particular bandwagon...

You mean delusional, thick Brexiteers sozzled on their cheap beer and Lambrini, Daily Mail?
By Stanley Collymore
Massive numbers of street party
entertainers for the coronation;
where exactly Daily Mail? Pure
fabrication, and fatuously grotesque
exaggeration as there was evidently
nothing of the sort, as described by
you Daily Mail with instead most of
the UK streets devoid of people, let
alone overtly carousing coronation
celebrating ones. Basically just the
usually sad people, quite fatuously
happily allowing themselves, to be ...

Conjugations of the verb ‘shiv’
You asked me once
if I’d ever kill you in
a poem.
I swallow hard
sick and shaking
at the feel of
your hand cupped around
my bare calf
We look for dick-shaped
clouds and feed each
profane chocolate
my back against a tree,
your back against me.
And the sun has never
been this bright.
I’ve never been

relaxed

The Hole
The realtor turns a plastic smile in your direction,
spreads her arms in a gesture of grandeur
‘Welcome to the Prophet’s cottage
as you can see the porch is a new addition; the previous owners were experienced carpenters
and the exterior was recently painted a lovely shade I fondly refer to as California Sky’
she reaches a perfectly manicured hand to open the door
her smile widens
her voice is saccharine
as she walks you through the most adorable house you’ve ever seen
granite counters and open flame range
inset lighting and hand carved...

This is not to you.
Not about how you left disjointed,
same as the way you arrived.
Not about those nights
that I had tried to rub it out for you.
How you came to me, pre-pained,
looking for a home remedy.
And all I could say was
I can try.
Not about those couple of dreams
that you left on my bed.
I couldn't just throw them away.
So I spent last night
with them under my head.
They were softer than I expected.
Yet I'm not used to that,
same as you.
