English Okay, I have been writing what I suppose is poetry for around 24 year's and I am fully aware the my work is not of the highest calibre so feel free to critique.
Such a charmer, quick witted and eloquent, Handsome and tall, A friend to one a friend to all. He whispers word's you want to hear, Stands till you sit, pulls out your chair. Everyone loves Him, oh what a card His jokes call forth laughter his wit razor sharp. Then he stands alone and is empty and dark Raging at shadows and cursing his heart So cold and empty He knows he's insane This act makes him sick but he performs just the same. If you could see Him now would you want him around? Muttering and angry eyes fixed on the ground. He knows He's a bargain two men in one Half dark madness half bright like the Sun. One wanting to love one wishing you dead One confused heart. One broken head.

Half and Half again.
Just another day Soon they will find me out Peering round curtains Staring at nothing travellers I take what is given to me Pills like land mines confusion in the dusk So stupid in the morning Bravery is way beyond I take what is given to me Still wanting you Throwing poems at walls Sew your heart shut The medicine wont help I take what is given to me Porcelain insanity is still my love Don't get what you want Forget what I need Get what your given I take what is given to me

Tastes like Fail
I look at you across this smoky room, You are some one I just cant have , I wish i knew what enchanted me so, I reel as I roll it in my mind. After all theres the way you walk the way you move the way you sit the way you stand thers nothing more to say But... I love the way you speak the way you smile the way your eyes sparkle when you look my way the way you make it known that you know you own me theres nothing left to say but... I love the way slow anger burns inside you the way you know your not perfect the way you know you are perfect the way you care so little theres nothing left to say but... I love you

Disco Love Life.
My Uniform was all pomp and shine Now it's reduced to rust and grime The Duke wants another push up hill Its not what I'm here for I came for the **** Lost amongst 10'000 just a face in the crowd I would shout and yell but I was never that loud I try to laugh through it but I'm never more than half up Never an optimist half filled is my cup I try to persevere try not to frown But we all know that when I'm down I'm down.

The Dukes Chosen Men.
I sit here in fear I don't want to go back But I know it wont be long as my brain is still cracked Still jumping at shadows still hearing them talk Still ignoring my bed still up with the lark I don't want the medicine I can do with out chats The friendly banter they peddle is frankly all crap They know how I feel? They know it must hurt? Keep taking or pills or take a nap in the dirt I know it seems silly to moan about this There is nothing I can do when senses are amiss I just wish I could be normal no more trips to Hospital and I know you don't care because to you it's all so trivial.

White White Walls.
I find it hard to sleep I find it hard to eat I find it hard to think I find it hard to speak I wonder is this love Or the use of a Serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor?

Serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor
Just Three summers long Every year it remains as strong No closer to a third kiss No tenderness to miss Yet every day I love you just the same I know If I admit it you would end the game Lasting love is still so new to me Other than you there is no one you see? Violence and anger seem to disappear Evil thoughts kept at bay when you are near Under all my stoic smiles you know It's no Lie I still believe Hope is the last thing to Die.

Dead before you Love me.
I don't ride I walk along roads never lonely along paths always busy Regrets for company all hopes are companions nothing behind me a thousand miles ahead My feet swollen My legs aching like hell But the ground is as quicksand to stop is to disappear A departure is irrelevant a destination is still a dream What thoughts I find on the path will nourish me All plans push me forward Over the next valley more adventures await Around the next bend more Joys are skulking and bored Just waiting for me to arrive.

Road warrior.
Hanging my innards on a tree Carrion hunters flying low Branches look so smart with my intestines dangling and no one seems to care about the pain I go through to make this thing jolly by spearing my kidneys on a twig no one even notices my liver dripping down the bough. You don't stop and ask about the way my skin is blowing in the wind you don't ask how I got my Heart so high that birds are nesting in it. No one even comments on the bark smeared in marrow and blood and bile. I only did it to make you smile and laugh, I only went to the trouble so you would notice me. And did you? NO Ignorant *****

What a lovely conifer.
I dident give up, It went away, Away my Love on a winters day, I waited so long but it stays at bay, Away my love on a spring day, I need my Love back but I still hurt in may, Away my love on a summers day, It's not coming back as days crumble like clay, Away my love on an Autumn Day. I see a glimmer of hope as days turn to grey, Away my love on a winters day, Ive poisened the well now I must pay and you will never return my love not on any day.
