No Mans Land

No mans land is here and now, I've found it
easy,, I know not how,,but here I am on wasted
ground,, cant get out,,, just circling round,
I feel unsure,,, what's it about,, life's a mess
...more or less....
I hear a sound, lay in the mire,,cover my head
.....incoming fire,..................
cant get away,,nowhere to run,, another day,
still undone,,,, shrapnel from the last attack,
pierced my heart,,,,no turning back,
blood oozes out, defence is gone,,,
.............enemy won!

The State Of Play

Whats the state of play?,, what do you
say?,,,a level playing field?,, an equal
connection? or something weighted in
your direction?
let the games begin,, fact or fiction,
good or sin,,,,lets play it fair,,stand on
the line,,me here,, you there,,,check
the clocks, synronise not fantasis,,,
begin now........you start the row!

Life Lessons

When I was young I learned some things,
about life, the world and what it brings,
twas then I realised, there's truth, there's
ignorance, there's lies,
I learned not to judge or critize, claim
precedence or compromise,
To listen with open mind, its up to
you the truth to find, and if you're
lucky and play it right, you'll find
you're way, you'll find your light,
Walk through this world, tall and proud
don't be judgemental, don't be loud,
don't point or take the higher ground,
cause what we give will come around,
other people may have their say,
thats their right, to play their way,
and if you're hurt by something said,
it's not you, it's in THEIR head,
For you can turn and walk away,
they cannot, they must stay.

My thoughts today!

Good Times!

sunshine on a rainy day, flowers
that bloom in may,
christmas presents under the
tree,
I pick the things I want to see,
cause it works.......... for me,

starlight, birds in flight, balmy
breeze on a summers night,
happy songs, space for two
tender kiss, eyes of blue,
smiling face, laughing loud,
standing out in a crowd,
warm embrace, silk and lace,
tender touch, things you say
children play, holiday, funny
rhyme, good time, clock chime,
kiss's under the mistletoe, hugs,
kiss's before you go, birthdays,
summer haze, school plays,
snow flakes, streams, lakes,
ocean blue, thoughts of you,
green eyes, happy sighs,
here I am,, surprise,
holding hands, long walks,
loving talks, sons, daughters
family, time together, you
and me, football, neighbours
call, pick you up if you fall,
jack horner and poets corner.

Yesterdays Plan

Yesterday I made a plan, to be
a good and better man,
No more bad and no more sorrow,
I'd instigate it all tomorrow,
I can't live in the future, can't
live in the past,
won't be the first, won't be the last,
So, I put it off until tomorrow,
I'm doing it now, this plan I follow,
Cause today is yesterday's tomorrow.

The Teacher Learneth!

Dont be optimistic, dont be glad, dont be happy,
be bloody sad, try it for a day and see how it
sucks you'll be glad to change back,,I bet
a 100 bucks, stick it out come
what may, you'll be a better man after that day,
complain and show distain, be hyper, wish for
rain, sleep late, start a row, create,
curse and swear, show no care, don't take a
shower, cut off the power, drink till your drunk,
smell like a skunk, don't pay the bills, look for
cheap thrills, kick the door and spit on the floor,
dont give to charity, show dullness not clarity,
ignore the poor, set a lure, steal a car, sleep
in a bar, eat till you're sick, carry a stick......
now off you go, I'll be near,,,call collect, and
come meet me here................................
.............................................................
.............................................................
.............................................................
.............................................................

so, ....now you're done,.... was it fun?,,,


What you mean stick em up?

Another

another time, another place, another lie, another race,
another first, another stand, another last, another land,
another play, another say, another song, another day,
another you, another me, another pain, another plea,

there's always another, whatever it be, another
way for you and me.

Sad Awakening

The morning sun brings beams of light,
that weave their way warm and bright,
into my room, where I lay,

I rub my eyes and slowly rise,
another start to another day,
then memories come flooding in,
events unfold of where I've been,

outside on my window sill, robins sing,
my mind just hears a church bell ring,
the day is bright, but I see rain,
my heart is heavy, throbbing pain,

for yesterday you went away,
soo suddenly, you coul'nt stay,
for 30 years twas you and I,
I never thought,
you'd ever die.

About this poem:
Someone died in Ireland this week, I did'nt know him
personally, but I thought of him and his family this
morning,,, just felt like writing something. It brought
back memories of when my mother died.

Stormy Winds

Stormy winds arrive with force, their angry
howls create discourse, batten down and
stay inside, avoid its rage, from it we hide,
It does increase intensity, we pray to God
that he may see, our faith in him is strong
and true, it pass's by, from me to you.

My Diagnosis!

Comprehending limitations causing spatial delay,
creates corrective corrosponding conditional
decay,
administering adaptive medication during play,
will intensify conditions showing limited
replay,
progressive alterations to the chemical make
up, shows positive reactions and inertia
can stop,
this combined with exercise and continous
injection, will subdue the nervous twitch and
show positive correction.

Until we meet again

I picked a rose from the garden,
And I placed it in your hand,
I touched your face, a last embrace,
To help me understand,
Then I said goodbye, a tear, a sigh,
and I turned and walked away,
And though you're gone, it won't be long,
till we meet another day.

Meltdown!???????

Lifting the veil on reality,
Contemplating, preceptions, totality,
seperating real from unreal,
imaginary, planetry, halle berry?

Slip a word in here or there,
does anyone really care,
its poetry in motion,
or something wrote,
took a notion,

Sense or sensibility, fantasy,
creativity,
is this written for fun? am i
undone?, another discerning
prose, what does it mean?
who the hell knows,
fanciful or garden variety,
carefree or piety,

you decide, its up to you,
whatever you do,
its your say,
deciper or
throw away!
