When you want a husband, give me a call.


All my life, I’ve been a waster.
I’ve never known what I was going to do.
I’ve suffered endless mental torture,
All in the hope of proving my love to you.


I’ve been killed by love a thousand times,
But still here I stand, asking for you to be my Wife.
I don’t think I’m good enough,
But I’ve never wanted more than one love.


Well maybe a girlfriend,
For my wife to play with,
But I am nothing; I could never wish for this.
I am just a loser with a dream.


I dream of selling novels, songs and poetry,
So I can afford to raise a baby;
Or to maybe just have a Wife…
To stop me going crazy.


To remind me of why I carry on,
When human beings are so cold.
I need someone to give this love to;
It is such a heavy load.


Free love here!
It is yours if you want it.
Ps.
It is faithful and always would be.


There is one catch I’m afraid;
This offer only applies to my future love slave.
My woman, my one love, my honey, my babe,
My desire, my passion, my mistress, my muse, my saving grace.


This is the woman I could happily be married to…
Do you think this could be you?
Do you know what staying faithful brings?
If you do…
Then give me a ring.

Why Poetry

When people ask me
Why poetry
Why not pick a paying profession

Take hold this truth
That I'm laying on you
In which there is a valuable lesson

If you do what you like
You're going to find
Life holds treasure in wonder

Instead of the dough
Taking you out in its tow
And then pulling you under

When you're doing things
Think more the gifts they bring
And not money to be made

When people ask me
Why poetry
Do I really need to say

I wrote a poem when I died...
Another at my birth.
A brand-new sonnet when I cried.
And again when there was mirth.

A song for my confession...
A story for my pain...
A painting for depression...
And nursery rhymes for rain.

My creations live inside my heart.
I keep them there in shame.
Yet you looked around and saw my art,
And smiled all the same.

Can you tell me
please
which way now is home
I used to know, my dear
The way was clear
There was no fear

Tying my walking shoes
I knew I needed to get clear of here
thought I'd find
all that was dear

The road though, it is narrow
The cliff it is shear
My balance is
woozy

Can you tell me my dear

which way is home
which way do I go from here,
I think I oughta know
But the hills they are wavering
The ocean is in turmoil
The mountains are slick
far too dangerous

The desert has no mercy

I know something and with this knowledge
I think I must be cursed
I think I have it
Peace & Home
goes and comes
and comes and goes.

Her hair was dark brown
Her fragrance smells delicious
Every time when my lips touch the cup
My heart began to beat faster
Not everyone likes her
But her love kept me awake
Without her I would fall asleep again.

Elizabeth, I,don’t love you,
But perhaps I could grow to,
If one had the confidence to pursue,
You,
Perhaps beautiful connections would bloom,
Perhaps,
I like your name,
And your face,
And your frame,
And your taste in music is at the very least interesting,
But sending that message to kick it all off?
No thank you and I’m sorry,
To my alternate future self in which I married you girl,
Because I have cut myself off,
It always happens,
So, don’t take it personally.
For Beth

I close my eyes
To look into your eyes.
I take a deep breath
To savour your fragrance.

I dip my conscience
In the figment of your imagination.
I lose my senses
In the sparkles of your smile.

My heartbeat slows down
To the sound of your presence.
My world spins around
To be a part of your essence.

My soul resonates
With a gentle touch of your palm.
My spirit resuscitates
With a glimpse of your thought.

Tonight I swim
In the sea of your memories.
Tonight I surrender
In the world of your dreams.

Tonight I relive those moments
With you in my mind.
Tonight I let go of all doubts
With you by my side.
