online today!Youthful
When I talked to the young, they had no reply, except to say,
We are young, it's you that will die,
I tried to explain life does not work that way, its all fun and games,
until the day, the day that you pay,
And no one does know, from day to day, where life will lead us,
or when we will go,
Youthful thoughtlessness, can never be wrong, it's the same hymn sheet
that was our song,
We knew better, we knew it all, now, most of my friends are long gone!
We are young, it's you that will die,
I tried to explain life does not work that way, its all fun and games,
until the day, the day that you pay,
And no one does know, from day to day, where life will lead us,
or when we will go,
Youthful thoughtlessness, can never be wrong, it's the same hymn sheet
that was our song,
We knew better, we knew it all, now, most of my friends are long gone!

The Movie Has Been Over A long Time
Now that I'm older
I have the script I know the lines
But the movie has been over
For such a long long time
For years you have walked beside another guy
And I have never entered your mind
That's what I get for being shy
Yes the movie has been over a long time
But now I would know my mark
I would know every cue
But I was rehearsing in the dark
All the time I was missing you
Softly the music plays and the credits roll away
My name is nowhere on the screen for anyone to find
And I have only one line left to say
The movie has been over a long time
I have the script I know the lines
But the movie has been over
For such a long long time
For years you have walked beside another guy
And I have never entered your mind
That's what I get for being shy
Yes the movie has been over a long time
But now I would know my mark
I would know every cue
But I was rehearsing in the dark
All the time I was missing you
Softly the music plays and the credits roll away
My name is nowhere on the screen for anyone to find
And I have only one line left to say
The movie has been over a long time

Post CommentHad You Told Me Yesterday
Had you told me yesterday
I would not be waiting on tomorrows tears
The silence of your precious heart
Is still ringing in my ears
Such a distant goodbye
As you drove down the road
The smoke from your old car
Has left a giant scar as it strangled my soul
Now a man of solid blue
Is what I'll always be
Had you told me yesterday
Now I'll always remember that's when you turned twenty three
Tractor broke down in the garden
Clothesline on the ground after a strong wind
Had you told me yesterday
I would never see you again
I would not be waiting on tomorrows tears
The silence of your precious heart
Is still ringing in my ears
Such a distant goodbye
As you drove down the road
The smoke from your old car
Has left a giant scar as it strangled my soul
Now a man of solid blue
Is what I'll always be
Had you told me yesterday
Now I'll always remember that's when you turned twenty three
Tractor broke down in the garden
Clothesline on the ground after a strong wind
Had you told me yesterday
I would never see you again

The Girl with sad brown eyes
Perhaps you saw me walking on the street with my head hanging down and you wondered why..perhaps you saw ne at my desk at work with my head hanging down and you wondered why..maybe you thought to yourself why such a beautiful lady is always looking down. If you only knew ...the beating last night was because I burnt his dinner...This morning it was because I forgot to iron his shirt. So next time you see me with my head hanging down..don't wonder . Speak to me words of encouargement and life..

About this poem:
This poem is about how domestic violence can go unnoticed.Is Anything Slow Anymore
Is anything slow anymore
A slow day a slow way
A feeling of belonging to a place and time
Now try to rest your mind
In the land of milk and honey
Is there anybody
Somebody who can tell me for sure
Is anything slow anymore
Sunrise sunset fast train fast jet
And the newsman reports the news faster than you can place a bet
That everything is going down the drain
People don't even know your name
Now it's digital preplanned programmed
Life has become just a scam
And here am I
Wondering who I am
We use to live on less
Now we can't live on more
Now time is faster than regret will it ever be like before
Is anything slow anymore
A slow day a slow way
A feeling of belonging to a place and time
Now try to rest your mind
In the land of milk and honey
Is there anybody
Somebody who can tell me for sure
Is anything slow anymore
Sunrise sunset fast train fast jet
And the newsman reports the news faster than you can place a bet
That everything is going down the drain
People don't even know your name
Now it's digital preplanned programmed
Life has become just a scam
And here am I
Wondering who I am
We use to live on less
Now we can't live on more
Now time is faster than regret will it ever be like before
Is anything slow anymore

Post CommentIt Always Sounded The Same
I don't like the numbness in my brain
I don't like the poverty in my name
Destiny was never here
And I could never tell where
No vibe to guide no wave to ride
No choice but to collide with pain
And the sound that's mine to cry
It always sounded the same
From a poor boy to a poor man
In a poor land where the wind carried me like the sand
And between a rock a hard place is where I got caught
With no luck and nothing to add up pull on the reins and call it naught
After plowing ground I can turn around and see that very little grew
And the only change my hair is less my hair is gray my chances left are few
So write it down write it right write it wrong write a song
Just another dream another chance to sing another day has come and gone
I don't like the poverty in my name
Destiny was never here
And I could never tell where
No vibe to guide no wave to ride
No choice but to collide with pain
And the sound that's mine to cry
It always sounded the same
From a poor boy to a poor man
In a poor land where the wind carried me like the sand
And between a rock a hard place is where I got caught
With no luck and nothing to add up pull on the reins and call it naught
After plowing ground I can turn around and see that very little grew
And the only change my hair is less my hair is gray my chances left are few
So write it down write it right write it wrong write a song
Just another dream another chance to sing another day has come and gone

WAR POEM
SHAME
Hello you world leaders
Do you hear the knocking, yelling
and screaming from under ground
Shouting nay begging for your help
Little did they know, all on deaf ears,
their fears much worse than yours
in your shiny suits,
just counting the dead.
You are as bad as the bombers leader
who like a little boy sneer,s
Like a greedy boy, who takes what he wants
Whilst you sit and COUNT
Will shame ever catch up with you
In the future years when a land
is flat and has no young
All under tyrannical rule
Which make no bones
will turn on you
IN THE END

About this poem:
i am angry, upset and so very sad just watching
Lost Freedom
Flapping growing tired
Freedom is invisible
Sits so forlorn,Caged
Freedom is invisible
Sits so forlorn,Caged

About this poem:
Once free,now lost.
Took a peek
What a wreck of a week
If only I hadn’t taken a peek
The ground beneath me feet
Noting but sleet
You sniffed me around
like a hound
following me around
I tried to run
You knocked me down
dragged me through the mud
Twisted me around
looked me in the eye
Said today you won’t die
you wanted my soul
I never felt so cold
I would never give my soul to you
Truth be told
You’re nothing but
A dirty old troll
X

looked me in the eye
Said today you won’t die
you wanted my soul
I never felt so cold
I would never give my soul to you
Truth be told
You’re nothing but
A dirty old troll

About this poem:
Could happen to you tooA part of me
Nervously,I sat on the beach
This is the first time we would meet
The little girl ran to the water
She looked like just like my daughter
Her eyes sparkled
Her lips formed a pout
Leaving me no doubt
It was she I’ve waited to meet
My heart skipped a beat
She quickly came running to me
She gave me a hug
My heart she tugged
She was like a little dove
She was the girl I had always loved
She held my hand
Our feet in the sand
This is the first time we would meet
The little girl ran to the water
She looked like just like my daughter
Her eyes sparkled
Her lips formed a pout
Leaving me no doubt
It was she I’ve waited to meet
My heart skipped a beat
She quickly came running to me
She gave me a hug
My heart she tugged
She was like a little dove
She was the girl I had always loved
She held my hand
Our feet in the sand
