Sense of Life
Arek Jul 2021
Take a look around
not just the road ahead
Pull over, listen to the sound
of the wind instead

Taste it's sweetness in the air
hold your head up high
and when the day is in repair
touch the starry sky

Smell the living Earth
Don't just blindly drive
Then scream out like you're giving birth
"thank God I'm alive"

Mirror Mirror
Arek Oct 2019
hips don't lie
the truth is in the mirror
there is a reason why
you don't look like Shakira

you'll need more than a prayer
to look like Madonna
the longer that you stare
you’ll look more like her nonna

if you those biscuits touch
more truth your hips will gain
and this will not impress me much
and Shania Twain
Arek May 2022
There will be good days, there will be bad days
that's why they call it life.
Some will have colours, some will have sad greys
painted with a knife.

Some will be balmy, some will be freezing
and many will be blue.
On some you'll be laughing, on some you'll be sneezing
worse than from a flu.

But then you'll feel better, sometimes so quickly
and ending all your worry
and once more feel healthy, no longer sickly
life really is a beautiful story

The Best Lace

Forget the future, forget the past
Don't get ******* in those places
Live for today like it's your last
without tying your shoelaces

My Heroine
Arek Aug 2020
Supergirl couldn't save me
and Lois Lane didn't come
Wonder Woman stopped to crave me
when she found out where I'm from

Batgirl she was too scared
and hid inside her cave
While CatWoman just sat and stared
as her tail stopped to wave

but you, you came running
with super powers non-existent
just a smile that's so stunning
rescuing me in an instant

Cost of living
Arek Sep 2019
The cost of living has gone up
even dogs have been complaining
It's not easy to raise a pup
then take through obedience training

They're now scratching for every dollar
and have even taken loans
I heard a few have sold their collar
and dug up buried bones

With prices always upwards rising
and economy so frail
I guess its really not surprising
they're chasing their own tail

The Cup
Arek May 2020
i wrote out my dreams with a pen
and placed them in a cup
i looked into the stars and then
with pride i held it up

i toasted to the moon above
and branches of the trees
i then said my goodbye to love
and threw them in the breeze

and maybe, maybe there's a day
when one might pass you by
but dream, only a dream can stay
only in dreams we fly
Arek Oct 2019
from Heathrow i left from gate eleven
on the London to Sydney BA257

and it was somewhere over Brussels
i started to flex my drinking muscles

by the time i crossed the Rhine
i was on my second glass of wine

then i switched over to some gin
when i flew over West Berlin

and i could feel more intoxication
while crossing some eastern european nation

and by the time i reached Volgograd
i was best friends with a man called Vlad

though i wasn't sure he was a man
when we were passing over Kazakhstan

then over the mighty high Pamirs
there were ***** shots and lots of cheers

so much more that by Islamabad
i started to feel that too much I've had

and when we finally landed in New Delhi
i had to empty by entire belly

thankfully it was a long stopover
and that helped me lots with my hangover

and i felt better that i had a brandy
just before we left Indira Ghandi

but Sydney was no longer my destination
as i changed my ticket to a new location

and so i flew back to Heathrow instead
to get drunk again with my best friend Vlad

No pants sunday
Arek Sep 2019
Hooray its no pants Sunday
Today is trousers free
From all the days it's one day
i can show past my knee

My upper thighs will bask to
the warm rays of the sun
and i wont have to ask you
if my fly is undone

It will feel satisfying
a breeze between my legs
while to break free my pants are trying
from two clothesline pegs

Older
Arek Jun 2021
It suddenly happened overnight
but somehow I got old
It wasn't from a sudden fright
or noticing I'm bald

I woke one morning feeling fine
then my mirror cracked
Have I not noticed my decline
and it has gone unchecked ?

and as I stared back at my greys
I began to weep
then said hello to my old face
and went back to sleep

Horrorscope
Arek Jul 2023
My starsign is a capricorn
and this is what it wrote
"You think you are a unicorn
but you are just a goat

Standing on a mountain top
thinking you're a leader
But really your life is a flop
and you're a bottom feeder

Meanwhile your future is so glum
that's beyond hilarious
maybe the blame rests with your mum
you're not a Sagittarius"

Phishing
Arek Aug 2022
When I first heard about internet
I thought it was something about fishing
which was posing a massive global threat
and less seafood we'll be dishing

Then I heard about this world wide web
I thought it was something about spiders
Some virus invented in some lab
and only known to a few insiders

Now I hear about something called WiFi
and that it's always dropping out
I think it's something to do with a fly
which keeps landing on my smoked trout

Easy Peasy
Arek Oct 2019
there has to be an easier way
from this daily grind
before my teeth are worn away
from worries on my mind

before my fingernails are all eaten
right down to the bone
before my face is sad and beaten
looking overgrown

before my dreams become puree
and i on them gag
there has to be an easier way
before i lay an egg

Fencing
Arek Aug 2022
You cannot choose your neighbours
luck will decide that fate
They come in many flavours
from noisy through to great

Some won't be to you speaking
and some straight out of hell
some of tobacco reeking
or some illicit smell

But then one will arrive
who might make things less tense
and make you all night through till five
spy over the fence

Free as a Dove
Arek Oct 2019
I'd love to be a dove
skies gracefully navigating
and somewhere high from up above
my bowels evacuating

with an olive branch
hanging off my beak
giving me a carte blanche
to peacefully take a leak

and during my release
amidst applause and cheer
I'll be spreading love and peace
and lots of my diarrhea

Milky Ways
Arek May 2023
There's a forest fire in Spain
and a typhoon in Japan
India's in floods from heavy rain
and an earthquake in Bhutan

There's a virus outbreak on a cruise
a ten car pile up on a bridge
and we just received some breaking news
there is no milk in the fridge

and the breaking came with quite a smash
like a collision of tectonic plates
then a loud thump and then a crash
and the slamming of front gates

so you might hear a disturbance great
with wives spitting like they're llamas
that's why early morning in aisle eight
there are husbands in pyjamas

Goldfinger
Arek Sep 2019
i stuck my finger in my nose
doing some gold mining
i found a pretty decent dose
but nothing that was shining

i stuck my finger in my ear
and dug out a yellow clump
i found it wasn't close or near
a gold nugget or a lump

i stuck my finger in my ***
there were pros and cons
i found besides a sore left thumb
no gold but at least bronze

Englandic
Arek Aug 2020
A man from Poland is a pole
that makes a German one a germ ?
then one from Holland is a hole
and from Peru must be a perm

If one from Scotland is a Scot
and an Australian is an Aussie
so one from Botswana is a bot
and from Mozambique a mozzie ?

Then every guy that lives in Greenland
must be turning greenish
i think it's best I move to Finland
and this stupid poem finnish

In Colour
Arek Jul 2020
I always dreamt in black and white
no red or green or blue
always until last night
that's when my eyes met you

and now my dreams have come alive
with purples, yellows, pinks
i cant wait neath the bed sheets dive
to get a few more winks

and all i want is to see you
while snoring with delight
in red and green and also blue
not boring black and white

My Dream Destinations
Arek Aug 2022
I travel in my dreams
and I've been to many places
It's much cheaper it seems
without packing suitcases

Don't need a passport or a visa
or booking complicated flights
to visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa
or see the Northern Lights

and to climb the Eiffel Tower
no need to plan ahead
because I'll be there in an hour
when I hit the bed

A Fousand
Arek May 2020
don't wanna write bout flowers
don't wanna write bout spring
don't wanna spend a fousand hours
wif words that will not sing

don't wanna write bout love whateva
don't wanna write bout how i feel
don't wanna spend my time and hava
belief that love is real

don't wanna write bout anyfing
don't wanna sit in my room
but i fink of you and like a spring
a fousand poems start to bloom

A New Spring
Arek Apr 2021
A poet once wrote here
a long, long time ago
He'd often shed a tear
which helped the words to flow

He'd write about the trees
the stars, the moon and sky
and set them loose out on the breeze
which helped the words to fly

but then the poems ended
until there came a spring
that's when my heart your heart befriended
now once more my words sing

Bathymetry
Arek Jul 2022
I was told that during my baptism
things didn't go so well
They had to perform an exorcism
to drag me back from hell

Apparently I started myself soiling
while very loudly crying
It looked like the water started boiling
and the priest was a baby frying

Some people started to run and shout
leaving a lasting aftermath
that to this day I let bubbles out
when I take my Sunday bath

Wings
Arek Jul 2021
Things, the basis of all greed
Wings, is really what you need

Dreams, is actually what matters
Screams, is when they are in tatters

From, always wanting more each day
Come, take my hand let's fly away

Sheliocentric Universe
Arek Apr 2023
Copernicus liked to count
all the stars in the sky
until he reached an amount
that was much too high

Copernicus then started counting
once more from the start
but this time as he was recounting
he made himself a chart

Copernicus then saw it clear
as the last star he would enter
was a star that always has been near
and placed his wife at his life's centre

A Poem
Arek Oct 2021
The paper is my silver shield
The pen in hand my sword
Behold the truth that ink will yield
with strike of every word

and each emotion in me rhymes
with each my heart will sever
A poet dies a thousand times
A poem lives forever
162 · Oct 2019
A Smelly Shelley
Arek Oct 2019
this poem isn't about love
no i am not that nice
it's not about the stars above
and how i see them in your eyes

this poem will not make you sing
or jump high in the air
but you make each day the first of spring
with flowers in your hair

this poem won't make your heart quicken
or skip a beat once in a while
i won't mention how my both knees weaken
everytime you smile

this poem might not make you laugh
but it gave me butterflies
how i quickly got through the first half
when i came to realise

that this poem which i tried to pen
had these perfect words aligning
if poems aren't about love then
why are all the stars so brightly shining

Heaven on Earth
Arek Jul 2022
We all live only once
but who wants to live again ?
unless it is in southern France
or Ibiza Spain

I might even reconsider
having another go
if I could live in Florida
or Cancun Mexico

But there is no doubt
I'd live a hundred lives
if I could live all of them out
in beautiful Maldives

In a hurry after curry
Arek Oct 2019
it's curry night at my place
come over if you dare
of ****** maybe just in case
bring an extra pair

to start I'll serve a rogan josh
then tikka masala
you'll hear loud screams of oh gosh
then prayers to god and allah

and you'll learn about a dish
its called a vindaloo
and why first mouthful's so delish
but then it ends with loo

so tomorrow sunday morning
the church bells will be ringing
bellowing out a warning
of your impending high pitched singing

Dr Jekyll and Mrs Hyde
Arek Aug 2022
Why do some people become mad
when they get behind the wheel
Did they wake up from the wrong side of the bed
and forgot their morning pill ?

It's as if they're suddenly someone else
the minute that they start to drive
their mouth vile obscenities yells
you'd think the devil came alive

Although I know exactly how that feels
with my sudden change of face
When I put on a skirt and my pink high heels
and Friday evenings become Grace

The Cure
Arek Oct 2019
the following is a true story
which happened in a laboratory

in a sterile habitat
between a guinea pig and a rat

their mutual dislike has grown stronger
they fought about who's tails longer

but since a guinea pig has no tail
that fight was always doomed to fail

and when the lab rat took a bite
the guinea pig still felt alright

that day next to some test tube babies
two rodents found the cure for rabies

Golden Age
Arek Aug 2022
There's not much fun in getting old
when you're getting ready for bed at seven
Middle of summer and you're freezing cold
and half of your friends are in heaven

There's not much fun when you call it a night
after your second glass of wine
and when you're asked to sign but you've lost your sight
and cant find the dotted line

There's not much fun when just one sneeze
can somehow lead to bronchitis
and you ask for a fork when you order Chinese
because your fingers have arthritis

There's not much fun in getting old
no one said ageing is great
so on this summers day while I'm freezing cold
goodnight all its almost eight

Frogs Snogs
Arek Sep 2019
i used to be a charming prince
a frog was reminiscing
i met a witch and eversince
there has been no more kissing

to croak all night and hop all day
not on a plate in France

Wet, Wet, Wet
Arek Aug 2022
The sound of rain makes me sleep better
that I don't need sleeping pills
I even moved to a place that's wetter
high up in the hills

When it rains here it's often pouring
which adds to the charm
and it often has me loudly snoring
right through my alarm

Sometimes the sound is in my dreams
but there's a few I dread
those when I'm surrounded by gushing streams
which make me wet my bed

Money
Arek Oct 2019
there's more to life than money
but i am not so sure
it seems even the Easter bunny
keeps asking for some more

and Santas rates are higher too
quite a substantial whack
he charges extra to fit through
gifts via the chimney stack

money makes the world go round
might be as merry as it gets
the dollar, euro and the pound
were all just chasing debts

Bean There Done That
Arek Aug 2022
In the beginning there was nothing
then a coffee bean popped up
suddenly hot milk started frothing
with steam rising from a cup

There was sipping, there was slurping
with loud sighs of ohh and ahh
there was dipping, there was burping
and people laughing hahaha

Then on the seventh day God rested
that's when all of us got busy
so much caffeine was ingested
it still makes our planet dizzy

Cardiology
Arek Jul 2021
It's the little things that matter
the big things can all rest
I prefer a mild heart flutter
not a full cardiac arrest

and driving like my grandpa does
not fast like some young bloke
so my brain only gets a buzz
not a massive stroke

because life doesn't need a shove
but a touch that's so much finer
so that your heart feels all the love
not pain from an Angina

Night and Day
Arek Oct 2019
the day switched off its light
and sent the wind to sleep
then gave a nudge and woke the night
and said - your turn to keep

of work my half is done
now go and earn your nightly bread
your work is so much easier son
with everyone in bed

but night said - that is so untrue
for when you're not about
you don't know what these people do
when their lights are out

Prancing with the stars
Arek Aug 2022
Things have a way of working out
somehow in the end
while we keep getting knocked about
by life's each twist and bend

On this long and bumpy trip
we struggle with it's reins
and find ourselves under the whip
feeling all the pains

So try to stop, relax, refuel
pull over to the side
then climb your camel, horse or mule
and get on with the ride

Piece by Piece
Arek Apr 2023
I need to buy myself new legs
and adjust my thighs
Then remove those dark sleep bags
from beneath my eyes

Get myself a brand new nose
one without a hook
so that i can sideways pose
and not look like a crook

Maybe i should change my face
the whole saggy lot
and pick a more exotic race
as long as i look hot

With my surgeon I'll discuss
my new look and design
It won't be long till all of us
becomes a Frankenstein

Age is just a number
Arek May 2020
i was once young too
but now feel 99
my stomach and my both ******* grew
my friend's a glass of wine

but now i pick up colds
and i collect obscure antiques
not ******* centrefolds

i was once athletic
but now i'm running late
and i'm a type 2 diabetic
who dreams feeling 98

A Ray of Hope
Arek Jun 2022
I need a light on my horizon
Something money cannot buy
No brand new Iphone or a Dyson
or checkered blue silk tie

I don't need a car with four wheels
some Porsche or Lamborghini
or a girlfriend with high heels
wearing worlds most shortest mini

I just need an orange sky
when my painful day is done
because money cannot buy
the last ray of the setting sun

Aunty Dora and Uncle Bob
Arek Mar 2021
The meaning to life can't
be money or good looks
I heard this from my aunt
who read so many books

Nor is it having in your shed
all the tools to life
that's what my uncle said
looking at his wife

Then they both looked at me
and said you'll know when you grow up
while pouring a little bit more tea
into my half empty cup

Threesome
Arek Oct 2019
gentle as a summer breeze
or a winter storm
she could be any one of these
one day icy next day warm

often switching like the weather
being as soft as lace
then suddenly be dressed in leather
slapping me across the face

every day was tears or laughter
until i found the cause
and the three of us lived happily ever after
since her menopause

Meatballs and Spaghetti
Arek May 2020
to meatballs and spaghetti
no one can say no
the snowman or the yeti
or aliens from a UFO

even vegetarians
from hunger get all gnarly
and all the Rastafarians
together with Bob Marley

want more more and more
it's easy to see why
when Bob Marley sang on a Jamaican shore
more meatballs no cry

Just a Chook
Arek Aug 2022
A spring chicken I am not
but the chicken's still inside
while much older I have got
from many things I run and hide

I am petrified of heights
spiders, roaches, other men
I keep my lights on through the nights
because of ghosts I'm not a fan

When I see needles, I turn blue
so I've not had my Covid booster
There'll be no ****-a-Doodle-Doo
from me who'll never be a rooster

Holiday Surprise
Arek Oct 2019
magic happened every day
when she was with me
for the whole world on display
like a Christmas tree

with fireworks
all my dreams were taking flight
like champagne corks

but then Good Friday she got keen

every day's been Halloween
after Easter

After Work Walkies
Arek Jul 2021
Taking my dog for a walk
the highlight of my day
He barks while I always talk
we have so much to say

Twenty minutes of fresh air
we like to let it out
We cuss and curse and loudly swear
and at our problems shout

That's when we *** on all the trees
and our day wounds lick
and hope tomorrow is a breeze
while I go fetch a stick

Fin ished
Arek Jun 2022
I had a young shark as a pet
when he was still so small
We would both love to get wet
and with the sea waves roll

Chasing surfers, scaring girls
with both our fins out
Hiding beneath oceans swirls
as they scream and shout

From shocking many scuba divers
we would get our kicks
There wouldn't be any survivors
from our bag of tricks

But then suddenly one day
our friendship hit a snag
and I no longer with sea waves play
because I have one leg
