A Sweet Teen
For Renae
Some time ago, I wrote an article in the newspaper.
Renae read my life story in the weekly column.
And she jotted down my phone number.
She didn’t hesitate to send me a text message.
I responded favourably to her kind words.
And she called me at the workplace the following day.
She was a naive girl with a childish persona.
Although we never had a face-to-face conversation,
I formed an attachment with her on the phone.
She was in fifth form at a rural high school.
And she assured me that she was 16 years old.

Mother is mad
War
It’s a reality
We killed her children
Chopped down her roots
Deprived her of oxygen
Of all that mother put into production
Forming mountains and valleys and waters that flow
Habitats grown to nurture her children
All destroyed by human evolution
As species land and forests disappear in mans wake
Our mother grows angry
She’s just begun
It’s war
She released The bomb that’s we will all face
Man vs nature we must take
Soon family’s will be broken
People unable to leave their homes
Death...

That teen moment Pt.2
Ah shit! Hello morning! -sigh- good-bye bus.
Parents probably still hung over, not much trust.
I could just skip the day, not like anyone will notice.
My teddy bear, that and my poetry I hold closet.
I quietly whisper my thoughts as if someone listens.
It really pisses me off mom wont let me get a kitten.
They are both always too busy drinking their life away.
Perhaps my promising future... Someday.
Ok pen, I’ll do the thinking and you do the talking.
Spiral down through life's memories we go walking.

I Just Can't Help It
For Tanesha
Tanesha, I’m so glad you accepted my invitation.
I’ve got something to tell you that might not surprise you.
Sit down and let me get straight to the point.
I can’t focus on my life because I’m attracted to you.
You’re probably aware of it by now.
I've tried to conceal my emotion for some time;
You must have noticed the lustful way I’ve looked at you.
I’ve been kind to you since the moment we met.
You charmed my heart at the age of fifteen.
It’s a pity you were only a minor then.
I’m not implying...

You've Changed Your Mind
For Renae
You weren’t always this bitter toward me.
Things were going so well between us,
But everything is different now.
Where is the sweet girl that I met two years ago?
You were so excited to have me in your life.
I was more than twice your age,
But you weren’t even concerned about that.
In fact, you were very happy with me.
You treasured my photograph so dearly.
You looked at it at nights and in the mornings,
And you took it with you to school.
You even told your mom that I loved you,
And that you loved me too. ...

Broken Heart
She broke my heart
With her mind games
Telling the truth
Didn't set me free
But if felt right
to clear my chest
For Love Is A Bitch
And she will break your HEART!
With her mind games
Telling the truth
Didn't set me free
But if felt right
to clear my chest
For Love Is A Bitch
And she will break your HEART!

Too Young
Who knew these teenage dreams would drag us down?
I'm so tired and so dried up
I want to lead my life but I fear I'm too fucked up
I'm so tired and so dried up
I want to lead my life but I fear I'm too fucked up

New Youth
Swayin’, along with,
The breeze which comes and goes
These thoughts of, you that
I can never seem to run into
Lost and confused, in the midst of emotions
Impatiently waiting, uneasy, what to do...
*beat comes in*
Still asking with twisted tongues, still with no answers out
Awkwardly waiting now, for us to grow a few more years
The deepest feelings, lost in unity—left on our own
No expectations, can’t find a reason...
...can’t find one.
(*Guitar instrumental*)
This closeness, of...
The breeze which comes and goes
These thoughts of, you that
I can never seem to run into
Lost and confused, in the midst of emotions
Impatiently waiting, uneasy, what to do...

Still asking with twisted tongues, still with no answers out
Awkwardly waiting now, for us to grow a few more years
The deepest feelings, lost in unity—left on our own

She
She wore her heart
For all to see
Like an ever
Blooming
Wild flower
Her delicate petals
Flushed with a
Vivid and lively
Pallet
Her beauty
Created by the
Gods
A free soul
Bound only by
Her spirits imagination
An ever elusive limit
Infecting each and
Every person
That had the fortune
To witness her
With glowing
Affection
She was everything and
Everyone
The most sacred parts
Of all human spirit ...

Miss Universe Droolin’
All the girls are smilin’, and the winner’s full of joy
They’ve been for a walk, inviting a teenage boy
He’d be hard and hot if she was a playboy
Miss Universe droolin’, by many a teenage boy
Locked with a key, my bedroom door, to stop any killjoy
Well I got under my blanket and I began to deploy
You know the parents always like to annoy
Who knew I was gonna enjoy
Miss Universe droolin’, by many a teenage boy
All the girls are smilin’, and the winners full of joy
They’ve been for a walk, inviting a teenage boy
If I could tell...
They’ve been for a walk, inviting a teenage boy

Cereal box camping (Cymru am byth)
We had to eat four boxes of Cornflakes,
the coupons were cut on dotted lines,
five long weeks for the tent to arrive,
six weeks in the garden each summer.
Twelve years later, bungee clipped
to the petrol tank of a Honda,
shoe-horned between ruck sacks and bin bags
we vibrated into Wales.
The weather was dripping forked lightning,
clawing its way down Snowdonia,
the light and birds had all but gone.
I pegged the last guide rope
as the heavy hiss of rain chased us in.
Laughter cut through musty canvas
zipped...
