From Nature Into Eternity
Spring is here again, sending sunny shine, rainbowed with April's rains.Flowers and butterflies pirouette gaily in the field, and on the lea, there are as many poppies as the heart can host, and the eyes can fill the orb.
Everything is wildly wise, masterly conducted under heaven's orchestral wand,
Dare not just stain the primeval beauty of the creation, its fully complete, an idyllic Ambrosia and pastoral Arcadia, a stream of conscious Nature.......
It is wild as i watch, but my brain tells me this is the wisdom in its
natural notion i do not need to...

Records
God placed my life on his record player
He gently put the needle down
So I could live my song
My music started
As I breathed in life
At first each year around the record player
Seemed slow and took forever
The music was soft and light
It was easy on the ears and enjoyable
Life was fun
And I was full of innocence
As I got older each rotation seemed faster
My speed changed in a heartbeat
The years were a blur
The music got louder as I got more reckless
My music made no sense...

i cannot
explain
this hurt
that builds
in me
if i stay
in
one place
too long,
these
emotions,
my
displeasure,
i am
waiting
to be
somewhere else
come another
tomorrow.

In The Crossroads
Between the pines, the pathway ascends
The trail of sheep, goats and grazing bands
They pass, lowering heads, no bleat heard
Guided by strict orders, by stark shepherds
I watched the sheep cortege as it did quietly glide
Into the vast pastures, in such a flowing smooth tide
And so i hide among the trees, a watchful eye
They obey the inner feel onto whereon they lie
Still they are sheep, goats and rams,a clique
Taken blissfully or driven blindly, unto the hills
They know the route they must always take ...

A Persian Warrior
- A Persian Warrior -
In a time known to history, but forgotten by man,
The mighty Persian army brought low old Babylon.
Great was Babylon, that empire across the sand…
But the power of old Persia had that lost war won,
Leaving blood and desolation, both far and near.
I was there when the Ishtar Gate fell into splinters!
I was there when the proud kings knew utter fear.
My axe held high, the steel in the sun ever glitters,
But that light is soon covered in the blood of men,
And you keep being told to take a life yet again…
King...

Mother hear us
Mother hear us in this time
We are praying for our crime
Of destruction to be forgiven
So we can rise anew and shine
Mother we have brought you harm
Ignored the scream and the alarm
Now we face the burning heat
Brought on by our own deceit
Mother we need strength to turn
Away from the madness for which we yearn
Please let us not get what we deserve
This we pray to mother earth
We are praying for our crime
Of destruction to be forgiven
So we can rise anew and shine
Mother we have brought you harm
Ignored the scream and the alarm
Now we face the burning heat
Brought on by our own deceit
Mother we need strength to turn
Away from the madness for which we yearn
Please let us not get what we deserve
This we pray to mother earth

Breaking free
Enthusiasm blended with intelligence,
Has power to lift you higher over the fence,
But it's the landing that's going to dictate,
Whether it's your cranium or leg that's gonna break.
Never knew I would fall into a lion's den,
Didn't know that the world would be so cruel damn,
Being lied to under the dogma of fear and belief,
Man, manipulation got a soldier defenseless in grief.
They say keep your friends close but your enemies closer,
I guess I was stupid keeping them far closer,
Drained my energy away, nothing i could foster, ...

You have to make you feel better.
I know it's not brilliant.
I know it's not correct.
But it is what it is.
I've never claimed to be sugar plum treats,
encased in salty caramel,vanilla,cinnamon,hot pepper sauce,biting taste.Someone,
Never taking responsibility, accountability,
in my days of weakness,
Which really is life experience, showing me.
Telling me.
Look within,to begin with. You dont owe nobody. Send heartfelt apology,to anyone you've hurt. And forgive yourself unapologetically. Cos you've made transformations in your life.
I am not responsible for people...

Between Daisies and Poppies
Between poppies and daisies, Spring cheerfully gives broad smiles, on every spot seen, in ev'ry perfume scented, in every puff of air blown......
On the lea, spring beauties and primrose grow wildly free, like being scattered randomly by an ecstatic bee,and showered by morning dew under a twilight moonbeam..........
In my home village, where Roman stones and ancient bones were deeply buried, with care less given, while only vestiges from heydays and carved cubic stones, from an era that brazed the African north, a square garden fenced within irons bars, harbours so...

Most Wanted
Caught in cycles
I spin
Progress short sighted
The blindness of my sin
Putting it all into straightforward terms
Priorities reformed
As to salvage what is left or watch the world burn
Another day, another night, another storm
Waiting on the horizon to dawn
Lights are but shadows of what’s to come
Going backwards in my will to move on
Most wanted
I am the criminal and the captive
Ransom of the will to be set free
Prisoner warden
Locked up inside my heart, a cell isolated, I suffer the reality of me
...

No Redemption
A lot of poets spend time and ink saying they're not poets
Well that's not me
2000 poems later I'm something
Redemption is a bear
I think about repentance
Then pour another drink
Flagrant foul, 2 shots and the ball

21st Century Feudalism - crucially alive and kicking, in a monarchical Britain!
By Stanley Collymore
Isn't it high time to permanently
dump this whole rotten circus
and very seriously positively
move on? In all truthfulness, it's very
embarrassing actually, watching all
this so unquestionably, thoroughly
nonsensical and quite undeniably
preposterous kowtowing and, as
well, obviously quite sickeningly
sycophantic behaviour, actually
crucially, relayed automatically
by people, who most asininely
see, and similarly pathetically
regard themselves, as adults;
yet very brazenly and equally ...
