To Burn [Dad]
You had 30 years
To show me love
30 years to be
My father
Instead
You let
Your career shield you
From your responsibilities
To your family
You were always a ghost
Always working, never home
Hiding all of your emotions
As if you were an empty host
So imagine my surprise
How impacting it was when
You used corporal punishment
As a means of discipline
And imagine my surprise
As a teen, dying inside
Full of repressed secrets
When you shook me by the arms
I...
To show me love
30 years to be
My father
Instead
You let
Your career shield you
From your responsibilities
To your family
You were always a ghost
Always working, never home
Hiding all of your emotions
As if you were an empty host
So imagine my surprise
How impacting it was when
You used corporal punishment
As a means of discipline
And imagine my surprise
As a teen, dying inside
Full of repressed secrets
When you shook me by the arms

Unconditional love
Unconditional love: I have unconditional love for you, no matter what you do or say to hurt my feelings I will always be there for you. Like God is always there for us even though we disappoint him all the time and he punishes us for it. No matter the pain you caused or what happen you will always still be in my heart. Baby, I love you, I know you don't understand it right now, because of your knowledge of what love is and what its characteristics are. You stay listening to what these artists are singing or rapping about. You don't see my heart, but God do I hope you understand that what...

Brexiteer Britain's illusions of grandeur!
By Stanley Collymore
Here we go again! Little Britain
asininely pretending that it's
relevant post Brexit, while
the rest of the globe incredulously
shakes its head in total disbelief,
laughs, and knows it's not! And
when it finds that it's actually
rather delusionally out of its
dishonest depth with China
not only economically, but
also and crucially as well
militarily, it will certainly
and worried shit-scared
go running off again, to
the States for help only
to rudely and...

I Want but I Don't Expect ( Tart Lemonade)
Lust is like that
You want them
They can take or leave you
I'm long into this game
Good days sometimes
Bad days too
Tart lemonade
All the promise
Then sour
Onward
You want them
They can take or leave you
I'm long into this game
Good days sometimes
Bad days too
Tart lemonade
All the promise

UNCERTAINTY
With uncertainty
I look back on you saying
“It’s not you- it’s me”
I look back on you saying
“It’s not you- it’s me”

It's Not Me
Rational Am I
Wonderful to be
Like a Holy Symphony
Guiding me.
Lonely eyes
Wandering the halls
Throwing up my walls
What could this be?
System of saints
Flowing down at me
Loitering in my heart
Telling me its okay.
It wasn't I
Turning dirt into clay
Hardening
Stiffening
It's not only Pain
That leaves this stain
I will never be tamed
So please subdue.
Derail me
I can't have you
Cant you get it through
It is...
Wonderful to be

Guiding me.
Lonely eyes
Wandering the halls
Throwing up my walls

Republican's and some Democrats: the crass likes of Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, in denial again!

Life In Second Place
Take it out on me
My impulse is the problem
Seeking ways to medicate
Your body is not a remedy
To my wounds
Inadequacies whisper
The ways I feel unwanted
Or just on the to do list of recreational activities
I’ll come second just like I feel I always do
But it’s me and it’s never you
Craters and emptiness
You can’t sleep without me
But your eyes are heavy in my presence
And when you’re awake you seek a way to escape reality
When did I quit becoming a dream come true?

Broken Rear Views and Dirty Headlights
Driving through the night
radio up way too loud
still can't drown out
what's rolling through my head
question my lack of guilt
for feelings I'm told I shouldn't have
unrestrained by boundaries
Then they play that damn song
the one you turned up for me
no longer in heavy rotation
no expectation of the memory flood
think about turning it off
but my hand doesn't move
so I sing
Everything is swimming
don't know if you even remember
why it means anything to me
shake my head and half laugh

Tired but not able to sleep
Tired but not able to sleep.
My love for you was very deep.
But you never understood my love.
You always made me weep.
Was filled with very much delight.
With you I saw my future bright.
But you have so much hate for me
You don't even like to see my sight.
But you are always there in my mind.
It is you whom I am trying to find.
Tried very much hard to forget you.
Your thought never could leave behind.
Wanted to take your best care.
But my effort went in despair.
Just so much in pain today.
This pain...

The dubious bliss of the exhilaratingly captivating dude William and his inestimable broodmare the iconic St. Catherine!
By Stanley Collymore
No man; with even a mere
modicum of true moral
integrity or the basic
awareness of what
love truly is - cynically
dumps a woman he
declares to actually
love determinedly
so he can actually
play the field - or
rather ensuingly
does ponder for
basically, some
ten clear years
the wisdom of
him seriously
marrying this
very woman.
