Late
Micheal Wolf Mar 2017
If someone is late
Does it mean they disrespect you?Their child may have needed reassurance before they left.
Clearly more important than you needing it when you meet.

If someone is late to a date.
Were they late because they tried so hard to make a great impression because they like you?
Yet all you can do is see a flaw.

If a woman is late doing her make up think yourself lucky.
If she isn't happy with it the evening will be strained.
What's 20 minuites?

If someone is late meeting someone. Maybe it is because they stayed too long with you.
Because you needed them.
Never complain then do you?

So explain late to me?
Because late seems to be the full use of their time as far as I see it.

Timed
Micheal Wolf Aug 2019
They say time heals all wounds.  But what if time itself is the illness?
Killing us from the day we are born.
Second by second.
Breath by breath.
What if?

In Everything
Micheal Wolf Feb 2017
In the great scheme of things it's the moments not the minuets. It's the stolen moment not the protracted chore. It's the thought you leave with, not the views of others.

Age
Age isn't worrying about missing the toilet.
It's about getting there quick enough.
It isn't about walking the dog.
It's about wishing you could.

The little voice
Micheal Wolf Mar 2013
You know that little voice?
The one that says be bad
It tells you do all the things
Your mum and dad forbade

Well now your grown its still there
It's gone deeper as it's older
Now it's you who calls the tune
You do just what it told you

So wild night's out with drinks and mates
The voices got you going
Tomorrow when your throwing up
It doesn't sound as funny

Then later on the voice returns
But now it's kind of quiet
It whispers to your never again
I'm between each *****!

Now that is today
Micheal Wolf Aug 2013
That was the the strangest of days
Like an atheist finding god in a dream
Then waking to find he's not there
I simply was not looking
I didn't go out to seek
I can't imagine the things you would say
A future clouded in maybe
Now that is today
Tomorrow unwritten
Sleep now

Empathy
Micheal Wolf Feb 2016
Sometimes
All that is there is the emptiness
Not darkness
Not cold
Just the void
You could try
I mean to explain it
That in itself has a problem
For my emptiness
Isn't your emptiness
How could it be?

Chip
Micheal Wolf Mar 2017
I have heard many people use sayings to comfort in loss.
They were brighter and couldn't burn as long.
It was for the best or it was meant to be.
No I don't buy into that!
It is hideously wrong for a child to die hours old in a parents arms. There is no solace or words of wisdom as it is being cheated.
I cannot imagine my friends loss tonight or the love they had for their baby girl trapped within them. Unable to share it.
I seldom cry, but tears rolled down my cheeks.
I know not what to say to them.

Political bias
Micheal Wolf Oct 2017
When they came for the unions you did nothing.
When they came for our pensions you did nothing.
When they came for the disabled and benefits, again you did nothing.
When they banned the crucifix, you stood by.
Now Islam comes you suddenly decide to give a ****.
You suddenly found one to give to the wrong cause.

Look to the sky
Micheal Wolf Apr 2014
I looked at stars in the night
I danced to dreams in my mind

Then all around me was dark
No one to hear my voice

Then I heard the music of life
Flooding my soul like light

Louder than I'd heard before
No one could hear my heart roar

Then, then it began to fade
All that was here was no more

All now around me was dark
No more to dance to now

Everything gone far away
So I must sleep once, again

Once upon a domestic
Micheal Wolf Jan 2017
Tricks or treats
Was all it was
It was never really love

Never shook me to the core
Just a ***** diy man *****
Always at her beckon call

Always wrong and never right
Never would apologise

Till the day it all went bang
Face first down stairs and a face slam

Sorry, sorry forgive me now
I didn't mean to really hurt you

That day I should have got my coat
After A and E of course

So don't be a mug and stay for love
Because that isn't there

I have the scars to prove it
Please learn from my mistakes

The Cycle of love
Micheal Wolf Feb 2017
In youth we never understand just how the smallest deeds are bound.
We look for a place that doesn't exist with Disney princess and horse drawn coaches.
Then as life lets us down in different ways we learn it's hard.
We learn to see those that care and those whos greed is all they're worth
Then as we come to lifes end we reflect upon all and try to understand
What was right and what was wrong and why we had to be alone

You cant laugh all the time
Micheal Wolf Aug 2012
You can't laugh all the time;
Nor everyday
But the one you miss should make you dream and smile.
The one your with should make you feel and be wanted.
The one you love should light your day.
The day can only be as long as the light that shines upon their face.
The night is as long as they hold you. The morning as sweet as their smile.
But you can't laugh all the time.
But you can carry a smile in your heart.
350 · Mar 2013
Who are you ?
Micheal Wolf Mar 2013
You can only be you
But there are many of you
There is the you you see in the mirror
The you your mother sees
The you who turns into work
The you a lover sees
The you close friends confide in
The you who hides your pain
The you who weeps alone
The you who needs a hug
The you no person knows
The you your children see
The you your children love
The you who helps a stranger
The you who wants to love
Be you and not another
You that hides inside
You are individual
It's you that makes me smile

Songs
Micheal Wolf Oct 2016
Does the hummingbird listen to the sound of her wings as she dips for nectar all day long
Does the bumble bee fly in time to its buzz as the pollen gets heavy on his back legs
Do dragonflies compete at standing still while the wings move faster than I can see
What do they all think as they go on their way looking down at steel and concrete we made
Do seagulls think "That's a nice post" while waiting to dive for the tourists scraps
Do dogs prefer lamps to trees when cocking one leg for morning relief?
All of these thoughts swim in my head
I'm sure I should be somewhere instead

Orphaned words
Micheal Wolf Jan 2017
I think my words simply became orphans
Much as I imagined they would be adopted or fostered in anothers mind, they simply driffted without patronage into the ether.
It never starts that way does it? I mean we comment on something or pass compliment not always knowing who reads or hears.
Nor do we expect in any great measure that our daily mumblings will be life changing.
Yet sometimes, after great thought or torn emotions, we let go to a few words we expect will make the ground shake beneath a soul.
Or close doors behind them we no longer want open.
Then sometimes they pass together.
Words so powerful and yet devastatingly silent.
I loved you, goodbye
Something I've kicked about for a while.

Everyday
Micheal Wolf Mar 2013
A slip of silk
Top button undone
Oh she has your attention
You see the inner her
The long play version
Not the 45

Blonde hair tousled
In wistful curls
You remembered her as a little girl
Her voice is soft as she says "Hi"
You'd love to answer but your tongue is tied
Although our voice is roaring inside

She wants you to just say hello
She will do the rest if you just show
You smile and turn and walk away
Like every time she comes your way

Neither knows how the other yearns
Hearts alone await their turn
Maybe tomorrow one will flinch
The fire will start and love released

It's never to late to fall in love
Just find the one and open up
Seize the day embrace the night
Live as one lovers entwined
338 · Oct 2016
Reason
Micheal Wolf Oct 2016
Some people are in your life for a reason
Some people are the reason you live
Some are the reason you can live
Some are the only reason for living
Know who is there for what reason
Do not try to reason with or about the others
For their love, their lives and their reasoning is not your concern

Lifeboats
Micheal Wolf Oct 2017
Never date anyone looking for a lifeboat.
The problem is lifeboats are for the short term until they get picked up by a ship or find land. You're then left up **** creek without a paddle!

Back from the brink (DRAFT)
Micheal Wolf Jun 2021
I'm a remnant of a past me.
Driven to the brink
Yet now a few steps back from the edge
Stoic in how I view life
Bereft of a need to just be
Longing to find peace
Together or alone it doesn't matter
Some days are unbearable
Others palatable
A few dire
But if your lucky there is a tomorrow
It may not be your tomorrow
But tomorrow none the less.

What it says on the tin.
Micheal Wolf Nov 2012
Pardon me I didn't see you there.
No you didn't look.
I can't hear what you say!
Because your not listening.
I don't feel that way anymore.
You never did to begin with.
We need to talk.
No you need to say goodbye.
Try to think outside the box.
I only have a tin.
I just do what it says on the tin.
I thought you had a tin as well.

Needs
Micheal Wolf Dec 2017
All he wanted was someone to bounce up and down on him like they were trying to get the air out of an inflatable mattress with a sticking valve!
All she wanted was someone to bang her like a broken screen door in a hurricane.
Yet neither knew of the others needs.

Shopping
Micheal Wolf Sep 2016
It wasn't so difficult
It didn't feel wrong
As she went out shopping
But shopping for love

She knew what she wanted
The same that she had had
Just younger and attentive
Before he was a dad

Muscles and tanned
Not a care in the world
Just meat on the market
No one gets hurt

But a game of passion
A tryst of deciet
Lie to ones hart
Opens a rift

The stolen moments
More needy and often
Eat at the fabric
That holds her as one

The husband the father
The daddy the rock
Is now just a stranger
His soulmate is gone
321 · Jun 2021
She said
Micheal Wolf Jun 2021
She said live today like it's your last.
I didn't know she was a serial killer.
I was told she could light up a room. Arsonists are like that
Live for today.
Bailiffs love those kinds of people.
Seize the day. And that your honours is how my client comes to be before you today.

Yet tears fall one by one, masked by the rain.
Does it make them any less, shrouded by the whole?

There is only the truth
It's in the dark

Nor the laughter hiding pain

Beating
Micheal Wolf Jan 2019
If you could feel the earth's heartbeat would you care more about her?
Do you not feel her breath and see the rivers of her tears?
Do you not feel her tremble when you hurt her?
Or was she always dead to you.
Did you not see how she protected you while you hurt her?
You cut her and she bleeds, yet still gives to you.
But like your real mother, mother earth is dying.
But you will not be able to mourn her death.

Tell me
Micheal Wolf Apr 2014
Tell me
Why does our imagination, always run away with  us?
Because after a time no one else could?
Are are dreams make believe, and a thrill in the night.
Is laughter loves energy we store up inside?

Oh tell me oh tell me! Is this all life is.
The knocks and the pain that, everyday brings.
Oh tell me oh tell me there has to be more,
cos I cant take this hurt anymore

When we cry in the rain why do tears sting  much more?
When we love, or we fall, why do our hearts feel torn?
Do our fears from the past. Overlap to today
Are we better alone, and that’s how we stay

Oh tell me oh tell me! Is this all life is.
The knocks and the pain that, everyday brings.
Oh tell me oh tell me there has to be more,
cos I cant take this pain anymore

Many nights at the station I missed the last train.
Lonely and lost, imaginations left me again.
So I stand here before you the shell of a man.
I'm doing each day the best that I can.

Oh tell me oh tell me! Is this all life is.
The knocks and the pain that, everyday brings.
Oh tell me oh tell me there has to be more,
cos I can’t take this life anymore

Well I've made mistakes, hell I've made a lot.
So don't try to tell me that none of you have.
It’s a one way journey from cradle to grave
When  I’m leaving I’m screaming “I ain’t finished yet!”

So tell me oh tell me! Is this all life is.
The knocks and the pain that, everyday brings.
Oh tell me oh tell me there has to be more,
cos I can’t take this ***** anymore

Oh tell me please tell me there is more than this....
Please rescue me now, with your kiss
Let me sleep tonight and wake in your arms….
Oh tell me oh tell me that im not alone

Walls
Micheal Wolf Feb 2018
You see it was never about the dance.
That went on all around me no matter if I slept or was wide awake. Their busy life, their needs and expectations whilst yours simply ebbs away, forgotten.
Some days it was like swimming through a sea of souls all touching yours trying not to sink themsleves. Each one screaming for a different reason.
Then as the day ended I had reached the shore, now alone. Yet drowned in their needs, their fears. I was lost.
Some pick up others emotions without knowing. Their problems like sap from a tree. Sticky and eventually trapping like amber the very soul that was there to help, taking their life slowly.
So we build walls out of fear and protection to preserve what is left.
We arm ourselves with the fully  automatic "NO!" and "I Can't". Emotionally lethal from almost any angle. But not love proof. Shooting down any careing or passion of any kind. But for those tricky situations where the wall is breached or they find a window and see the you inside, you hid and camouflaged with confidence and bravado, there is the bomb.
The it's not you it's me bomb. Once deployed you implode and the outer shell sends a blast wave purging the emotional landscape. Anyone who dared to approach now simply a shadow to you.
Written some months ago. Never happy with it but doesn't seem to matter now.

I've reduced my emotional outgoings.

The Invisible Dad
Micheal Wolf Jul 2019
Some dads hide and are never there.
Others try to make it work.
Some are blocked and lied about.
Others never gave a ****.
Some are just an ATM to pay without a thankful word.
For some that all becomes to much and then they shed this mortal coil.

All the same.
Micheal Wolf Feb 2018
Romeo oh Romeo, he is nowhere to be seen
He sent a woman flowers and got an injunction for two years
He asked a girl at work out and promptly got the sack
She then got promoted after saying he touched her ***
But Juliet now 50 can't get a steady man
No ****** trusts her as she's played with all of them
Chivalry isn't dead, not knights of old
The armour isn't worth it and the white horse has been sold.
So keep showing all that anger and screeming "I'm oppressed!"
Then wonder why you're alone each night as you undress.
Not all men are ******* and not all women mad
Some have survived hell and are worthy of a chance.
So look around your world and try to understand that the next person to like you wasn't the **** that let you down.
271 · Jan 2019
Would you?
Micheal Wolf Jan 2019
One day you realise you love someone. You just know. That's it, no warning sign, no guide, just BOOM! A feeling that turns your whole world inside out and upside down. Fire from your belly that won't be calmed. Like Mother Earths polarity changing ends. They become your North and South. A friend becomes a lover and in that magical moment the way you see the world has changed. Because you share their vision. Then in a flash they have the keys to your soul and can walk through its corridors as though it is their own home. Use or abuse it as a trespasser.
In that moment you have no more armour no chainmail. No mask to hide behind. They hold your secrets and all your vulnerabilities. You gave them away like candy. You place your trust in an asassin that has your very soul to nurture or destroy.
For some they will spend a lifetime there and help you grow and heal, love and laugh.
Others simply use it as a space to rent then destroy everything that you built together on leaving.
They take more than they ever gave. Trust, love, light and more.
All they leave is desolation and fear. Damage that often can't be repaired and a hopelessness that builds walls and shuts out love like it is a poison.

Why would anyone try love again?

Stalins underpants
Micheal Wolf Apr 2018
"Do you think he wore them?"
I heard her say as she had paid her fiver and walked away.
Her partner dressed like an air force pilot said "Well they are Russian and cheap at the price"
Memorabilia from wars gone by, hunters collect in macabre style.
Paintings by Churchill and ****** too. Other faces of their wartime selves, now bid for in auction sales.
From ration books to old tin hats, physical memories of a dangerous past.
So are they really Stalin's drawers?
Check them for stains, he had a few close calls!
