I am a self centered and selfish person who likes to use poetry to blame anyone I can think of for my own shortcomings
What happened to the world we know No longer free to come and go Facebook, what’s app , twitter each day Happy we were to text our way We called our loved ones or a message was sent We didn’t know time was on rent Now all we have is social media An unforeseen life anaemia When we had both that we could use We never felt the need to choose Yet here we are no longer in charge Of problems small or even large What mattered last week doesn’t now Just stay at home and then somehow You’ll have the chance to make amends and see your family and your friends And never live the life so empty But more a life full of plenty Life is so fleeting and so dear Let’s learn a Lesson from all this fear The internet It helps us all But far from grace we had to fall to find a text can’t kiss a cheek Or hold a hand when it feels week

Do you agree
How much do you take Before you break What's a good time to quit When your heart takes a hit Should you try to withstand The issues at hand Do you fly in the face Of feelings that disgrace The love that you knew When turned into spew By lies and deceit It takes quite a feat And can you discard The hurt that's so hard And just  cause you do Can you see it through And never regret That you'd ever met The one that you trusted Such love that you mustered And let your guard down Like you were a clown Then without any sign Things stop being fine Like being awoken To find your heart broken With no indication And without explanation What you thought was forever In fact is now never

A lesson in love
If you had a time machine That you could use just once Would you travel backwards to undo what had been Or dive into the future and trust in providence? Or maybe you are lucky Thats quite rare I suspect That you wouldn't dabble in the past As you would protect Everything you have right now And wouldn't change a thing But you might glimpse the future To check if Charles makes king? I think I would go back to spend a day with those Who's lives have since been snuffed out And left so many holes You could go one week ahead And find lottery numbers out instead Or go back and never make that call That made that ball start to roll I wonder what you would do? And hope that you do too You may already know and you mightn't have a clue

Time machine
Before I even touch you I see you laying there I want you so you just can't know It drives me to despair But teasing me is teasing you And at the end is bliss That first time that I cave in And take your loving kiss I stroke your skin so lightly I want to savour you You know I'll soon loose patience You know that you will too And then there'll be that moment No longer can we wait When we come together Reservations dissipate That final yearn unleashed at last god  how that feels with you As you are my wife my lover And your my best friend too

Lust
I see these people smoking Just looking cool and hip They don't care if it's not healthy As they pull upon its tip But how do they blow smoke rings I've tried but just can't do it To try look cool I've had a go But always I have blew it With puckered lips I sit here Searching for the answer Knowing that the consequence Is surely catching cancer

Smoke rings
Funny how we all write poems When were feeling sad Never when were happy Does it mean where mad Do you know the words of songs That make you feel so " happy" Or more songs that just spring to mind Whenever you feel ****** Sad songs can never cheer you up But they help sum up your heart It's good to know your not alone When you feel torn apart Just know that pain will pass quite soon And then you'll listen to a tune That makes you fall in love again So sure you'll never feel that pain. Again. But you will. That's the thrill. And it's brill

No Kiss Goodbye Not one Last Cuddle You had your time You ****** me dry My heart bleeds My lungs set Free Eyes Open Wide Mouth sealed Shut All my hearts longed for.. In just one Kiss.. What is this? You bring out all I've been missing inside.. I see all of me for the first time. I got lost in your Green Eyes My heart has doubled it's size. My Soul Sings for you.. My heart Cries for him. Can't help my Soul recognized.. Set on fire.. Can you feel it? Or is it just a manifestation of my desire? You say I cut you to the core.. I know you want more. More.. leaves this open as ever. So I say Goodbye to him. Hello to You.. Lets take our time.
