Dark, Dark Days

Death, death will come to pass,
They tell us to believe the elite,
So called masters in defeat,
Leave the people without to eat,
But line pockets of those in high seat.

Life, life is not just ours,
She claims the earth, seas and sky,
No longer seasons go awry,
Natural world scuffles by,
Leaving man alone to lie.

Time, time they say can heal
The lives of some already gone.
Like dogs removed from a bone,
The need to return, not left alone,
To die in pain with trauma drone.

Light, Light is breaking through
The whines of leaders unending crap
The people live, laugh and clap,
Escaping from the viral trap,
To feel life’s transient slap

Dark, dark days waiting on a dawn
When light appears, When the fear is gone,
Where people dance and people sing,
No longer scared of unknown things,
When crowds appear and bells ring.

Take Hope, sweet charity,
The future is yours,
As a system fails.
Imputed, incessant boors
will serve the secure,
In halls of failure,
for a presuming crowd.

Have Faith, sweet charity,
The past has revealed,
Leaving wrongs unchecked,
Will result in steel
witches, untested
In skills vital,
To help destitute survive.

Charity, and Hope,
Rely on the Faith,
Of the populace.
Over the greed of the few,
within adorned palaces
of inherited right,
to make reparation.

This earth that we walk upon
borrowed from another’s future
so fragile and we can’t go on
turning it into a sewer.

Take the land and treat it well
Let it thrive and flourish,
Hope not for the tolling bell
a signal, as the last perish

The seed of life cannot be burned
It’s something we must relish
Its in our hands to save this world
It should be theirs to cherish

Lay your sweetness on my land
A thing we must do now
Keep the grass from becoming sand
for the future we will plough

You learn to reap what you have sown,
Just as the old song says
so nurture and treat and care for the growth
ensure generations care

Pressure building inside my head,
My eyes feel the pulse and eyelids lead,
I don’t want to be here with no one around,
Under a blanket of lonely, don’t want to be found.


The fear is real, the shock obtuse
My thoughts intrusive without real use.
Inside my brain no place for a man,
No driving forward, of the past, no fan.


I try to see good, in all and everyone,
The bad sneaks back, by getting put down,
I can’t do right for doing wrong,
But I keep trying, as I have for so long


Don’t look for sympathy, it can’t be found
Within the circle of love there is only bland
Agreement of everything, anything to keep
this piece of my world from falling asleep.

He Feels;
Sail away, my love,
To where the sea meets the sun,
Although we have parted,
The day will come

When together we meet,
After time absolute,
Makes the parts again whole,
The dress and the suit.

Your life was my own
Our joy it has passed,
But the light still shines on
And the love it still lasts.

She says:
Take care my sweet partner
Your life is to lead,
Don’t mourn me to long
As you must proceed

To take care of our loved ones,
family and friends,
Through life’s ups and downs,
Its potholes and bends.

Look for the good!
Make sure to have fun!
Do not be afraid!
To love another one.

The recognition:
I will not forget you,
Of which I am sure,
But I have another life,
For which to prepare.
So, I look forward with hope,
I’ll leave you to rest,
I learned to love with you
For that, I am blessed…

When the sky is black with storms
There is a place for you with me,
When the sea is rough and cold
a haven, safe, to be.

When the road is long and rutted,
I’m a smooth tarred motorway
To ease you along the path
to where you long to stay

When the journey’s never ending
I’m the firelight from home
When the anger’s overwhelming
I’m the calm before the storm

When the wind is strongest
Uprooting all around
I’m the steadfast oak
Stolid, rooted, Sound.

When the rain is pelting
Soaking all around
I will be the shelter,
your spirit will not drown.

I know that you can’t see it,
But I’ll always have your back,
I’m here with you forever
to guard you from the flack.

Tree and lights,
Shop window sights,
Frost and chill,
The presents bill!

Wrapping up gifts,
blizzard in drifts,
snow and gritters,
chintz and glitter.

Anticipation,
pupil dilation,
paper in shreds,
curiosity fed.

Turkey and trimmings,
mulled drinks brimming,
family and friends,
latest toy trends.

Hat and scarf,
children’s laugh,
snowman’s nose,
frozen toes.

Christmas Telly,
big full belly,
children tired,
the roaring log fire.


Offspring to bed,
all cosy and fed,
deepest sleep,
Not a sound, not a peep.

Snowflake falling,
Relatives calling,
Music and dance,
Lost in a trance.

The Festive season,
Always good reason,
To meet up and blether,
Whatever the weather
