Ticking Clocks
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
I'm sitting, waiting for demise,

No shoes, nor any socks,

As time continues on its march,

To the sound of ticking clocks.

No Clue
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
I often ask myself a question,

Yet seldom do I get,

An answer that is genuine,

More often I forget.



Is my life worth living,

Have I done all I can do,

Am I everything that I could be,

Put simply, I've no clue.

Polar Bear
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
I'd like too be a polar bear,

And wander round the Pole,

Hunting seals and eating meals,

It doesn't seem a toll.

Yesterday was sunny,

Yet today it's sadly grey,

Strange how little yellow dots,

Can make you feel this way.

Bin Man
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
He is out every 30 minutes,

And puts stuff in his bin,

It's strange that he is out so much,

Just what's he putting in?

Flap

A moment of pure weakness,

I succumb, temptation's trap,

I wished that I could care less,

But now I'm in a flap

And what's worse, I start to curse,

They're out mowing the lawn.

A lovely time of year,

As winter's cold it fades aware,

Replaced by Spring's new cheer

My daily dose of wellness pills,

Is in a weekly container,

The sadness of filling it up,

Makes me want to take the remainder

When I last went out for dinner,

People were looking at me weird,

It's only when I got home late,

I saw burger in my beard.

My whole life seems complete.

Mee

Mee
I have a busy schedule,

Yet what I never see,

Is a time for mere reflection,

A time to be just me.

Where Do?
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
Where do all the birdies go,

When it becomes night,

I'd like to think they're in their nests,

With their duvets, wrapped up tight.

Pup v Pub

I took my puppy to the pub,

I'd say we have great fun,

But when it came to buying drinks,

She failed to buy me one.

Lacking Mobility

M.I.

Technically Inept
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
Whenever I use gadgets,

Afterwards I've often wept,

It's not that I'm emotional,

Just technically inept.

Drinks

I think I'm a great dancer,

And love to hit the floor,

But reality is different,

I only dance when drinks you pour.

See Side

But the sea I did not see,

Such a shame the tide was out,

Leaving only sand for me.

Belt
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
I'm glad today that I wore my belt,

Oh the shock that I would have felt,

Imagine the shame,

With nobody to blame,

From what I'd shown in Church when I knelt,

Toastie
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
I'd like a tasty toastie,

Filled with scalding hot cheese,

The sort of food that burns your mouth,

Yet somehow continues to please.

Hour
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
I watch as water drains from the vase,

Drawn up from vase to flower,

I'd be drunk if I drank like that,

And well within the hour.

Britiish
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
Today a young chap asked me,

Are you having a nice day,

I lied and said "delightful",

In a very British way

I have no clue
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
Curse my age,

My twisted bones,

My failing sight,

And broken home,

Curse my luck,

In all I do,

When I got old,

I have no clue.

Darker
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
It is never about the words I use,

The order,

Disorder,

It is the tangled tapestry between lines,

Try reading it,

Don't look,

Feel,

Inherently the unwritten ink runs darker.
We are more than the sum of our arts

Like Lego

Tick tock it is the witching hour,

I fear they're all around,

They creep and sneak and then appear,

Without the slightest sound.

Dentist

I reach my hand up high,

Raise my favourite wine glass,

Then drink my wine goodbye

A Lot
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
One more drink before I go,

Then I'll stagger nice and slow,

And maybe fall or maybe not,

Boy I think I've drunk a lot.

Narcisssistic
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
I see the narcissist standing in the corner,

Rent a friend (or ten), on hand to smile, laugh,

How can so much love be reflected inwards?

In a moment of madness,

I ask him how he is,

And he begins to tell me,

A "Show and Tell" person,

Show me everything they have,

Tell me how much it cost,

Confidence,

No, that's so last week,

He is the one and only......

By next week,

He'll be the one,

And only

One.

Who cares

Olly
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
Olly was an octopus,

He had 8 legs and arms,

He gave good hugs,

And shoulder shrugs,

But juggling was his charm.

Daffodils

The yellow yawn of daffodils,

Sing proud the dawn of Spring,

A coloured flash,

Through fields we dash,

True beauty that they bring.

Not knowing I was off to die,

Our place is not to reason why,

The kiss, our last, then off to die.

Worm Food
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
After but a moment,

Regardless of your mood,

Deep down, underground it is,

Served up as worm food.



It isn't that I'm worried,

But I find it rather crude,

That no matter what I do,

I'm served up as worm food.



So live life and be happy,

For in the end we are all *******,

Before you know, it's off you go,

You'll end up as worm food.



If only it were easy,

To live ideas our minds have chewed,

But in a box, and on the rocks,

You're served up as worm food.

I Drink
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
I drink,

To calm,

To rest,

For charm,

I drink,

For hope,

To live,

To cope,

I drink,

For me,

So that,

You'll see,

I drink,

That's all,

Don't judge,

The call

Feeding Leeches
Peter J Thomas Mar 2016
Fingers,

Vine twisted,

Barbed wire,

As I unfold,

Open,

A fist,

They bleed,

Feeding leaches.
