A leaving poet
A poem for RoyI have tried to write a poem,For a well established poet.Hope this prose ain’t below him,I ain’t no poet and I know it.There’s no denying you’re a bloke,With a low tolerance for soppy folk!Sweets, chocolate, biscuits and cake,All things bought or Karen would bake.We filled our bellies to the top,The gluttony we…

I could have stayed
I shouldn’t have come,I shouldn’t have come. Taking a trip down memory lane,It didn’t even feel the same.Twenty plus years have passed you see,Too much water under the bridge for you and me.You were nineteen and I was twenty-seven,A young man’s dream of 7th heaven.But now we are much older,I’m so weak and you… much…

Fractured Mind
Fractures never really healThey always leave a markA twinge when the cold sets inSubtle reminders of the cause of painI think I have a fractured mindHell hath no fury, like one of my kind.

18 now and then
Where did it all go wrong?At 18 I was heading to the New Orleans mardi gras!Now it’s all instagram and X or whatever its called by what’s his name,The perfect pout, the perfect hair,The perfect body, it’s so unfair.The youth of today all full of virtual overload,1 million followers, then left out in the cold.Glamorisation…

At least we’d save the bees!
If we rid ourselves of Parliament,Replaced them with a CEO.I wonder how far our Kingdom would go?If we rid ourselves of Parliament,Replaced them with a clown.I wonder if we’d all be wearing an upside down frown?If we rid ourselves of Parliament,Replaced them with an ordinary family man.I wonder if he would work all day doing…

Back to school blues
I don’t want to go to school today,I’d rather stay in bed all day.Am sure they wouldn’t miss me,Am only a teaching assistant you see.I work just as hard as the teachers do,But never paid the same due.Maybe I should ask for a payrise?Hear them tut and roll their eyes.I guess I’d better get out…

1st Anniversary
Oh no, I let you down!I hate to see you wearing a frown!I did not write a poem to remember your wedding day,It’s amazing what my mind thinks of whilst mowing my lawn on a sunny day.It’s what I always wanted for my brother,A wife he can cherish, a lover like no other.Someone to bring…

Click send
Give me the beat of a slow heartbeat.A slow rumble, calling us home,Giving us the freedom to roam.Increase the tempo,Pace us into cardio.Then take us to our peak,Bodies ache and our hearts shriek.The pied piper of the beating drum,Remain calm, walk, don’t run.Wondering if this is heaven or is this hell?Like Pavlov’s dogs we salivate…

The Fight
If you really hurt me,How would you feel?The pain from your fist,Against my skin.Would it pain your heart?Just to do me in?
