About you

About you!

Can you live without expression? Can you be,,,,,, alone,,,,, not for eternity, but if you were locked within yourself for a time?, then what would you see?, reality?, defined by who? you or me? would it be then, you would feel,,,,, REAL.

Poets

Poets

Obviously credt goes to John Taylor (24 August 1578 – December 1653)

Its never over

It's never over!

Wonderfully standing free, thinking , writing, how it should be, memories of times gone past, inner emotions, they may last, wanting, feeling, caring with love, seeking inspiration from above, lost promises, lost belief, left with nothing, no relief,

Sadness for Ukraine

Sadness for Ukraine

Afraid of the light is almost all right, darkness is better, no bombs to light up the night, such a way to live, soo hard to forgive, ,, lost in pain,,, cant explain,,, but, we all feel the pain! Come to us, be free, we will help, the best that we ca

Not really anything

Not really anything!

Why do people think soo much about life AFTER DEATH? Is it the same as life BEFORE BIRTH?, we must have been in the same place, we don't remember, so, we appear and then disappear, I don't know where I was a year before I was born, same place when I

Reborn maybe

Reborn maybe?

I asked myself the question,,,, "who would I be if I was not me" and the answer was clear,,, I could never be ,,,,,,,,,anyone but me,,,,,,,,,,,,,I could not be you, if I wanted to be, and you could not be me, do you see. Even if there is reincarna

The Rain

I wrote this 11-10-1997. This song is about the change of seasons. The Rain tells a small example of a story of it, I suppose in a psychedelic sense!

My Friend

My Friend

I wrote a letter yesterday, to a friend of mine, I really didn't know what to say, I told him that there was war and people were dying, bravery prevailing, but children were crying, there did not seem to be an end in sight, and could he help me on th

Today

Today!

How do we feel today?, too overwhelming for anyone to say, regression, depression, fear just being here? Confused? Refused the right to live, to give, no verbal discussion, just physical concussion, and all because of (rushing), into a whole new way,

This life

This life!

I'm angry with the present, and I'm angry with the past, the past brought this present, guess nothings meant to last, I don't know about tomorrow or how it will go, I just hope the innocent are spared, I hope we show we cared!

Who DOES know

Who DOES know

Who knows, who grows, within a life of different ways, who says? that you are right or wrong? The world is ours, our heritage, not one human being, to dictate what we are seeing,., or a group of people to decide MY future, how DARE they think that t

Youth

Youth!

One to one hundred seems so long, but in years, in time, its over and gone, And all those dreams, and that painful reverely, well it appeared and then disappeared faster than we could see. So now I'm sixty one, youth long gone, tomorrow is but a

Reality

Reality?

Reality appears in the worst of times, never to be seen in the best of times, when the shit hits the fan and nothing goes according to plan, well, that's reality, when doom and gloom enter your room, it's reality, suck it up, take it on the chin,

Born to be

Born to be!

The eternal quest to be better, be the best that you can be?, why not just be you?as good as you are? it will take you just as far, to the end, because my friend, no matter how good you are, it is still over in a blink, swim or sink, just be who you

Ice cream just ice cream

Ice cream, just ice cream

it is about now.

What

What?

Who knows? It's the question of all questions, I can't say nobody knows because then I would know that nobody knows, which means I would know, and I don't. What's strange but true, our world revolves around me and you!

Existence

Existence

We are children of existence, that's what we are, we were born to be unique, never to be the same, we're here for the game, the good, the bad, and the oblique, we're not for love, we're not for fame, we are not for anything, there's no one to blame,

Nothing

Nothing?

Sometimes, nothing means more!

Ostrich

Ostrich!

Ok,, sorry I cant talk right now, my head is in the sand!

You Fool No One

3-8-2022 was when I wrote this one. I liked the idea of a rock/jazz sound that alters during the music styles, yet still keeps the same beat and tone.... Almost?

Time to reflect

Time to reflect.

Desist! resist! for we dare not fall into this wayward quest, hearts broken in foolish folly, love scorned as life persists and all for what?, tis better to be than not to be, to find ourselves and not misery, so, friend or foe it matter not, for whe

It is what it is

It is what it is.

I know there's a dark cloud hiding in the sky, waiting and watching where we lie, but it will never find us, when all that we can see, is u+me = love and how it should be.

Up or not

Up or not?

Space and time mean what?, How long have I got in this spot? For space to exist, we need time, for time to exist we need space, what does that mean for the human race? We exist in our own personal paradigm, what we believe is true for all our time, w

Its a whole new world hopefully

Its a whole new world {hopefully]

A prison ship in the vastness of space, prisoners all, the human race, illusions of freedom to keep all blind, no truth allowed, there's nothing to find, only rules and regulations, laws for populations, to think is frowned upon, verbalise or analys

Short and sweet

Short and sweet!

You need to ask questions or you will never know what road to take, which way to go, so observe and learn to find your way, but be yourself, come what may!

Being Alive

Being Alive

If there is an art to writing or poetry, it comes from the heart not what you see, and all lifes troubles and happiness, are all laid bare, more or less, thats a wonderful gift given to few, the ability to express the real you, in words and thymes, t

A question of difference

A question of difference!

What's the difference, between life and existence? If I shoot myself in the head, do I spend the rest of my life dead? Is that impossible? An illusion? or a Cotard delusion? Do we exist because we are alive?, or are we alive just because we exist?

When your number is up

When your number is up!

I don't want to play this numbers game, life has changed, its not the same, only yesterday I was 2 and 1, where the hell has that gone?, Woke up today, what can I say, I'm now 6 and 1, that didn't take long, so I suppose tommorrow will be the same

I see the light

I see the light!

That shining light up in the sky, appears, then disappears as clouds pass by, and life down here, is lost in fear, tomorrow may never be here, for humankind all could be lost, one man , can, change it all, we stand or we fall, unite to the rallying c

I am

I am!

It is what it is. You know.

See

See!

What do you see through your eyes? Is it differnt to mine?, Is the world conspiring or just fine? Do you believe the world is round?, alien invasion? what have you found? so, we think we are right, always, day or night, you say that, I say this, then

Just a thought

Just a thought-

So where did you find Jesus? Hiding in a tree? away from you and me? Until you tracked him down, and then,,, what? The rain stopped?, the sun came out?, you won the lottery?,your car turned into a new mercedes? your bank account found new zeros?,,,

I am

I am!

It is what it is. You know.

A Word To The Wise

I wrote this 3-7-2022. A Word To The Wise is the title I've been working on for over a month or so by different forms of writing it. The song is about a girl I once dated back in school and on Easter week vacation I vanished into the night and completed my grade without anyone knowing of my intentions on leaving. Over the years she found faith in God and I just do Rock-n-Roll/ Heavy Metal.

The days of now

The days of now!

So, the ruling few have been bitten in the a** by one of their own, what will they do now? Oh they cant believe nor comprehend, how this will go or how it will end, Putin screwed them, now hes not their friend, time to regroup, hes not in their loop.

WONDERING

WONDERING!

And I wonder, if love songs didn't make you sad, and life didn't make you mad, if life was perfect how would you be? And I wonder, if tomorrow was the end of it all, how would you be? what would you do? Its all a question of love and life, oh yes,

Russian warship go

Russian warship,, go..

Somehow history got lost in translation, that was then and this is now, we have Iphones, your phones and my phones,we have facebook, youtube, mytube, redtube, twitter, ,, wow, imagine we tweet to each other?,, all rocking robins, its like we are hypn

The brink again

The brink, again!

So Russia may invade Ukraine? War again? Wow, how insane! It's obvious its meant to be, unless, those in power are made to see, that WE see, their manulipation, total particapition, guiding it along, they dont care, right or wrong, The highest degr

Just for them

Just for them

I could write about the rose that grows, its beauty, coulourful and majestifully superior, but I wont, I could not give a f*ck, I dont give a f*ck about America, China, Russia,, I don't believe in CNN, FOX, BBC, OR EVEN RTE, my life revolves around

Different

Different!

Ever find yourself lost? I see beauty all around, still dont care, should I go for help? or just jump on someones bandwagon? be part of life stupidity?,, tomorrow will hopefully appear, I'm still looking for my bandwagon, oh no,,, brooks and dunne, N
