Fear

Peter J Thomas Apr 2016

Fear

It's difficult,

It's hard, I find,

The fear, that lives,

Inside my mind,

A fear of here,

Of now, of all,

Disabled by,

Fear's fateful call.

Away

Peter J Thomas Apr 2016

Away

It's difficult to speak out loud,

Though I do know what to say,

Perhaps my voice will ring again,

And the fear will fall away

Gone

Peter J Thomas Apr 2016

Gone

Unspoken,

How he wished,

He'd dare just say,

Chances missed,

And gone

Pain

Peter J Thomas Apr 2016

Broken skin,

Exposed vein,

One last time,

To ease the pain

Realise

Peter J Thomas Apr 2016

Realise

April's fool we recognise,

The darkness, cold, behind the eyes,

So it should come as no surprise,

The fool is you, you realise

Bike

Peter J Thomas Apr 2016

Bike

A tale that's full of wonderment,

But one that you might like,

I went to town to buy a hat,

Yet came home with a bike.

There

A tired smile,

A knowing stare,

The times he wished,

He wasn't there.

Door

Peter J Thomas Mar 2016

Door

As days knock upon April's door,

Soon March, my friend, will be no more,

We cannot stop the shifting sands,

As time we cannot so command.

Easter Legs

An early Easter Sunday,

I'm looking out for eggs,

I'm running round the garden on,

My tired little legs.

Cope

Cope

Eyes reddened by the liquor,

Soul blackened, lacking hope,

Amazing how in spite of this,

The World thinks he can cope.

Goodnight cruel World, I've struggled through,

Another of your days,

Quite how I've survived for so long,

In adversity always.

Bleed

Peter J Thomas Mar 2016

Bleed

Internally, unstoppable,

Yet you fail to see me bleed,

Must red stain my clothes and more,

For you to see my need.

Who is it that's watching you,

Your phone, your files, and more,

What will they see when they look close,

Yes, every crack, and flaw.

Once more I find myself alone,

Sat, over-thinking all,

For once will my poor mind just rest,

And not for thoughts will trawl,

Fed up with criticising souls,

In all I see or do,

It's easier to criticise,

Than do right, over to you.

Seen it and been there,

Whilst you can sit, pontificate,

I simply don't care.

The monster that's been lurking,

His night has just begun.

There once was an ugly offspring,

Unfortunately it was me,

As I grew old,

The more I got told,

That I was a sight to not see.

My head is often hurting,

For I often over-think,

I wish that I could switch it off,

But that would cause a stink

I sat proudly with a biscuit,

To dunk into my tea,

But I seemed to lose my touch,

It fell in, disgustingly.

We'll never know what could have been,

Had I asked you to dance.

Taking off my clawing coat,

Letting my belt come free,

My clothes no longer seem to hide,

My pronounced belly.

If you're looking for an impact,

Or an impression to make,

One trick that always worked for me,

It to present some cake.

Seeking solitude in crowded rooms,

Wanting company of one,

I'm happy trying to hide away,

Until the crowd has gone.

The direction in which it turns,

Why things are the way the are,

How my heart still yearns.

Locked down Pound

My puppy is imprisoned,

To be kept in solitude,

Her crime involved a postman,

And her incredibly bad mood.

Frightening the children,

Who else, but knitted cats

I was feeling quite unwell,

He wrote down some strange notes,

What he put I couldn't tell.

We know it tells no lie,

From the moment we are newborn,

It counts down 'til we die.

One way, that we all send,

As steps grow stifled, slower,

We all approach the end.
