The Daily Blah...
'The Daily Blah...'
With sound not heard
Yet so absurd
As to enlighten
Or just frighten
Fashioned in the word obtrusive
Rarely caught and so elusive
Eloquent it's very manner
Never finest use of grammar
Soundbite each and every nation
Uttered without hesitation
Selfish in it's very form
Like a baby newly born
Sucking life
Causing strife
Telling lies
Causing sighs
Lawsuit filed
And so reviled
All in Daily Blah's agenda.

The Angry Crowd
Peck, peck, peck,
Judges all
A chorus of tuts
The stoniest of wall.
I told you so's
A squadron of guilt
Shaking of heads
Scorn to the hilt
Inside I hear nothing.
Just faces around
Fingers all pointing
Without any sound
For I am away
To hill's in the mist
To tallest of grasses
That dew slowly kissed

A little Hope..
When you look but cannot see
You leave but not arrive
Believe but it's beyond the truth
Live life but not alive
When light is total darkness
When sound is silent too
When every day is black as night
And every colour's blue,
When happiness is something less
And friends forget you're there
The only season's winter,
And the cupboards always bare
Find strength where once was weakness
Find love where once was none
Believe that you can beat the odds
Your future's just begun.

A Unhappy traveller
Despicable me is all I see,
Midst landscape heaven sent
Of distant views a parting ruse
This poets last lament
A sadness born in human form
Deleting natures fayre
Translation lost amidst my storm
Though few bar me would care
Yet still inspired, I won't grow tired
Life's beauty and it's beast,
All layers peeled my fate is sealed,
No chance for nature's feast.
So wretched as a cancer grows,
Engulfs my thoughts and dreams,
Breaks stronger men than I will know
And tears my very seams.

A Child's Eyes
To see through child's eyes again
Oh lord now such a dream,
Of scented air with not a care
And tales of all we've seen.
The warmth of days in summers haze
The softest breezes blew
A reverence of innocence
Those days were all too few.
When day was ending we grew tired
Then tucked into our beds
Spawned dreams of scenes, a field of fire
Inside our youthful heads.
But why these thoughts as I now age?
Should haunt me with such pain?
As life and strife is my next page
I wish for youth again.

The Sweetest Rain
The sweetest rainfall heaven sent
brings life where none yet known
It's soothing kiss upon the earth
The heart of seeds just sown
The mighty river ebbs and flows
Through deepest valley winding
But how that river once was borne?
As if we need reminding...!
The sweetest taste of natures fair

Recycled
The hollow of that empty shell
Now void of life but stands to tell
A lifeless carcass hard as tusk
Devoid of heart as upturned husk
As empty as one mindless act
That lures to death in sordid pact
So cold just likened winters face
No life nor favours given grace
Such fear that haunts our waking seconds
Unknown destiny that beckons
Face the bell that rings our name
Life and times the dying game.
I understand my mortal self
My worth not judged on merely wealth
And life must have a journey's end
Embrace it as you would a friend.

I Am The Light
You have no words, I know that.
Your love is all i asked and it was mine.
Tears for today I understand
But comfort many guises wears
Recognise me in your heart
I will always know your thoughts
As you will always be in mine
Time will not diminish that
In life and death so shadows form
At their darkest when silence falls
That is when I will comfort you
Reassure you, be at your side.
Time will heal the cut but not the scar
The hollowness of loss a cross to bear
But remember this for I tell you that it's so,
I am safe in your heart.

The Weapon Of Solitude
A lonely walk to bedroom cold
Just lying there to grow so old
No warmth from heart entwined with mine
No special hugs my soul to dine,
Just sorry thoughts and empty silence
Hurt so bad, by lonely violence,
Alas such feelings cant be shown
For that would break a happy home
But lying here for one more night
Brings one less day that i can fight
To save whats left of who i am
And stop her crazy master plan
I'm almost lost for all to see
For underneath this all.. it's me
Will I survive and learn to live?
Pray God... for I have much to give.

I believe.
I believe that beauty lies within,
That life can still be lived it's not a sin,
That hearts though broken mend in different ways,
And tears still write the tune the piper plays.
I know that thoughts can make or break a mind,
And love is better seen than taken blind,
That feelings make the man as he grows old,
And secrets should remain just that, untold.
For duty that requires a soul of steel,
Can leave you void of all that life can deal,
