See Side

Peter J Thomas Mar 2016

See Side

I went to the seaside,

But the sea I did not see,

Such a shame the tide was out,

Leaving only sand for me.

Start Again

Peter J Thomas Feb 2016

Start Again

A life that is much simpler,

Without sorrow, without pain,

Maybe I should pull the plug,

And look to start again.

Gently

Peter J Thomas Mar 2016

Gently

I gently kissed her head goodbye,

Not knowing I was off to die,

Our place is not to reason why,

The kiss, our last, then off to die.

Song

Peter J Thomas Mar 2016

Song

The evening brings forth broken song,

I ask for whom they sing,

A tune that meanders along,

What pleasant joy it brings

Ticking Clocks

Peter J Thomas Mar 2016

Ticking Clocks

I'm sitting, waiting for demise,

No shoes, nor any socks,

As time continues on its march,

To the sound of ticking clocks.

I'm 2

Peter J Thomas Mar 2016

I'm 2

I'm too tired to compute,

I'm way too tired to think,

I'm just too tired to enjoy life,

I'm not two, but one on the brink

Gone

Peter J Thomas Mar 2016

Gone

Seeking solitude in crowded rooms,

Wanting company of one,

I'm happy trying to hide away,

Until the crowd has gone.

I am

Peter J Thomas Feb 2016

I am

I am known by the people I love,

Not loved by the people I know,

For I am not a performer,

Nor am I part of a show

Sun

Peter J Thomas Mar 2016

Sun

Yesterday was sunny,

Yet today it's sadly grey,

Strange how little yellow dots,

Can make you feel this way.

We Sit

Peter J Thomas Feb 2016

We Sit

We sit and stare through windows,

Hoping tales they will begin,

But have we ever thought that they,

Are outside looking in?

Enveloping

Peter J Thomas Feb 2016

Enveloping

Enveloping, it cloaks me,

The darkness of the night,

I become an unknown entity,

Until tomorrow's light.

Happy Mothers

Peter J Thomas Mar 2016

Happy Mothers

I looked straight through her,

Ghostly presence,

Too thin,

All skin,

Draw features,

Cold,

Scarred,

Scared,

Was this who,

Raised me,

Happy mothers,

Sorry sons.

Too

Peter J Thomas Feb 2016

Too

Too many times I've failed to act,

Too many times sat still,

To find myself alone too much,

Too cold to feel the chill

Time Again

Peter J Thomas Feb 2016

Time Again

Cold shudders that then crunch the bones,

Fingers numb, shaped bent by pain,

Unable to now hold an eye,

I wish for time again.

Ten

Peter J Thomas Mar 2016

Ten

Every hour, on the hour,

She's visited by men,

I haven't sat and watched all day,

But I'll still counted ten

Other Side

Peter J Thomas Feb 2016

Other Side

The other side of forever,

We could have shared the view,

Now I am sat here just dying,

Instead of there with you.

Release....

Peter J Thomas Mar 2016

Release....

No longer is it shackled,

Nor kept quiet in a cage,

It's time to feed the monster,

To now, release the rage.
