She

She
Every man
Has his she
His soulmate
His destiny
Some are lucky
Some are blind
Some will search
But never find
The reason that
We all live
To find a she
Our love to give
I found mine
But did,nt know
That she was she
Till I let her go

Another failed relationship
a million tears more
the pieces of my broken heart
are lying on your floor
think i,d have learnt by now
after all the tears ive cried
im meant to walk this mortal plain
with no one by my side
now i know all the plans
the man in the sky chose for me
i learnt to smile instead of cry
and face my destiny
to all the girls ive loved b4
and those that once loved me
i thank u 4 each happy time
and each golden memory

come all you story readers
be you young or be you old
to the land of sir dolly dimple
were fairytales unfold
not so far away
and not so long ago
lived a boy named dolly dimple
and a horse named dynamo
they lived in a land of tyrants
were fear and greed was bred
yet this boy called dolly dimple
had a halo on his head
he grew to be a decent man
big and brave and strong
he rode the land on dynamo
to put right all that's wrong
he rescued damsels in distress
he put dragons fires out
he made the land a safer place
he was loved beyond all doubt
yet as he grew so famous
so did the boy next door
the wicked tyrant gordon
did evil deeds galore
now gordon was a wicked boy
who grew to be an evil man
to undo the good deeds dolly did
was gordons master plan
now gordon hated good sir dolly
ever since they both were boys
cos sir dolly quite by accident
broke one of gordons toys
so gordon kidnapped all the princesses
and locked them in his tower
to grind down all the corn he grew
and turn it into flour
he crept into peoples houses
to steal kids from there bed
to work in his bakeries
to turn his flour into bread
then he sent out all the orphans
to work on the street
seling his bread
to the people they,d meet
then he bought up all the houses
with the money he made
and doubled the rent
that the poor people paid
now everybody panicked
shouted screamed and bawled
till someone suggested
the mayor should be called
now the mayor listened carefully
and when he heard it all
he picked up his phone
and gave sir dolly a call
he quickly told sir dolly
what was going on
on dolly said dont worry mayor
i,ll be right along
so he dressed in his armour
loaded his pop gun
climbed up on dynamo
and his good deed had begun
he rode up to the tower
scaled the walls of stone
peeped into the window
to see the princesses were alone
when he saw it was all clear
he climbed into the tower
and made a big rope ladder
from the bags that held the flour
so sir dolly and the princesses
climbed down to the ground
and he took them all home safely
except 4 one he found
she was princess of the orphans
princess clare was her name
sir dolly fell in love with her
princess clare felt the same
now sir dolly had a mission
he knew he must go alone
so he dropped off princess Clare
at the mayors home
princess Clare  told sir dolly to take care
he said dont worry i,ll be back
with the wicked tyrant gordon
******* in a sack
so he rode off on dynamo
to the bakery door
so he could free all the children
so they could sleep once more
he kicked down the door
took off every chain
rode them all home
and tucked them back in bed again
then he rode to the orphanage
and hid in bushes by the gate
he knew gordon would come back 4 the kids
all he had to do was wait
first thing in the morning
just as it got light
he saw gordon coming
so he jumped out of sight
sir dolly shouted gordon
we meet again at last
i,ve come to punish you 4 all ur crimes
ur evil days are past
yet gordon was so quick
he turned and as he fled
sir dolly pulled his pop gun out
and shot him in the head
all gordon cud do
was fall with a shout
as the cork from dollies pop gun
quickly knocked him out
so dolly tied gordons hands up
tight behind his back
then picked up evil gordon
and dropped him in a sack
he put gordon on dynamos back
tied him on with his tail
rode him back to town
and threw him into jail
now the whole town cheered
and shouted dolly,s name
and gave him a medal
for stopping gordons evil game
now princess Clare
gave dolly a big kiss
and everybody cheered again
and not long after this
sir dolly and princess Clare
became husband and wife
and lived happily ever after
for the rest of there life

Come all you story readers
Be you young,or be you old
To the land of sir dolly dimple
Where fairy tales unfold

Now not so far away
And not so long ago
Lived a boy named dolly dimple
And his horse named dynamo

I wrote my poetry
To a symphony of snoring
As my lady lies beside me
Sleeping through till morning

The kids asleep
In the rooms next door
While I,m wide awake
Writing once more

Probably writing
Till one maybe two
Till sleep overtakes me
And I fall asleep too

She looks so peaceful
As she lies there asleep
The kids are so quiet
I hear not a peep

Maybe it's wrong
But I feel it's right
To say that I love
This time of night

It's my time of creation
The darkness of night
When words come a haunting
And I start to write

But now as I tire
I turn out my light
All that's left to do now
Is wish you all goodnight
Thomas clark Feb 2016
Thank you for the honour
Of being part of your site
For giving me an audience
For the poetry that i write
For giving me a stage
To exhibit my poem
A soapbox to perform from
A home away from home
A place to show the sides of me
The many faces that I wear
The inner me that no one sees
So thanks for being there
And to the six that follow me
My sincerest thanks to you
And keep up your good writings
Cos I love your poetry too
So thank you hello poetry
From the bottom of my heart
It's really a great pleasure
For me to take part


THANK YOU

You liked my words
My little poem
All the way from England
To your long island home

My friend across the water
Who reached across the sea
To like a poem I wrote
So thank you from me

I will keep this short
I just wanted to say
Thank you from England
To my friend in the u s a

They said don,t you cry
She,s not worth it
There,s plenty more fish in the sea
Yet here I am I,m still crying
Cos what good are fishes to me

I once was a really good fisherman
I had more than one fish in my net
But I,ts true what they say
The one that got away
Is the one I just can,t forget

sitting here once again
numbers running through my brain
thinking
will i fail again

will i be a different person
with a maths degree
no i won,t
i,ll still be me

maybe i,ll be more clever
but will anybody see
that i,m a little bit more cleverer
if  i,ve got a maths degree

i guess what i,m saying
is i was happy with before
and if it was,nt for my advisor
i would,nt have walked through your door

its surprising how the dole
can make us do these actions
by telling us if we don,t
they,ll bury us with sanctions

i actually dream at night
quite often you may know
of walking in the dole
and telling her where to go

so let me win the lottery
i,m praying to my preacher
let me win a mill or two
so i can be the teacher

A sword can cut and slash and ****
A pen can spew an inken spill

You wield your sword
To win a war
My pen writes peace treaties
By the score

The sword and the pen
Met on the battlefield
The sword was so much stronger
But the pen just would not yield

The sword swung first
The pen retracted
The sword flew past the nib
The pen quickly counter acted

The pen drew a tree
The sword stuck in the bark
Then the pen drew a forge
And drew a flame and a spark

He popped the sword in
And melted it down
Then drew a Parker pen mould
and an army was found

An army of pens
To rule the land
To fit snugly
In a peacekeepers hand

I risk my life
5 days a week
Up on your roof
To fix your leak
Triple ladder
On your plastic gutter
Up I climb
I must be a ******
Run up your roof
Point your ridge tiles
Bucket in hand
It kills my piles
Replace your slates
Off my cat ladder
Who,d be a roofer
We must be madder
Sit on your chimney
Like a bird
And don,t recieve
A grateful word
All they ever
Say to me
Is how long is
My guarantee
I risk my life
To keep you dry
When rain and snow
Fall from the sky
So next time when your in your bed
And you feel a drip on your head
Don't call a roofer
Call a plumber instead

In the deepest darkest corner
In the recess of my mind
I built a little cupboard
We're my skeletons can hide
Then I imagined an electrician
To give my cupboard light
And gave all my little skeletons
A nasty little fright
Now they have no darkness
No place that they can hide
My skeletons can,t hurt me
I just brush them all aside
Thomas clark Feb 2016
He ***** on his nicotine habit
With not a care for his health
His forty a day habit
A significant drain on his wealth
His lungs become smaller and smaller
He struggles to take every breath
The toxins he continues to crave on
Bring him closer and closer to death
But still he keeps on smoking
Though there's lots of help out there
To help people stop smoking
I guess he just does,nt care
He,s playing Russian roulette
With every tab he does ****
And one day the big c will catch him
He,s really  pushing his luck
Thomas clark Mar 2016
I. Remember the. First time I saw her
It was a warm summers night
She had. The wow. Factor
  Taught  me to believe in love at first sight
  We shared our first hello
I  loved her soft tender smile
She dressed like a lady
Full of grace and style
I. Wanted to ask her out
But I started to hesitate
She was too beautiful for me
I was punching above my weight
I,ll never forget
As I turned to walk away
She opened her mouth
And I heard her say
HOY YOU WERE YOU GANNING
Thomas clark Mar 2016
I thought I was alone
Lost in dreams
Then I realised
It's not how it seems
I,m wide awake
Or so I believe
Or am I dreaming
Don,t know what to believe
Am I breathing
Or am I snoring
Answer me
Stop ignoring
Going now
Cos this is boring
Thomas clark Jan 2016
My eyes are growing heavy
Tiredness clouds my sight
My brain is getting fuzzy
I,m far to tired to write

So to dear rhi and elsa
And the friends I,m yet to meet
I give in to my writers block
I finally admit defeat

So goodnight and god bless
To everyone and all
Keep watching this space
Cos the writings on the wall

Good night my friends
Thomas clark Mar 2016
My eyes are growing heavy
My yawns are getting worse
My brains not going forward
It,s now stuck in reverse

My writers block
Is approaching like the tide
My girlfriend is snoring
Right by my side

My pillow is calling me
The duvet looks so inviting
But I,m gonna make a coffee
So I can keep on writing

I,m fighting a fight
I know I just can,t win
As tiredness surrounds me
As I think of giving in

The moon is so bright tonight
The sun will soon be dawning
So goodnight everyone
And please stop yawning
Thomas clark Mar 2016
To all the mothers of the world
Enjoy your mothers day
And special thoughts of sadness and love
To those who,ve passed away

Happy mothers day to you all

In the face of devestation
After the nuclear bomb
In the voice of the survivors
The search for peace lives on

As they sit on there small island
Free from nuclear rain
They plead for peace
Spared to start again

So as they build a new world
Out of the ashes of the last
Born to strive for peace
After the nuclear blast

How many Martin luthers
Or John lennons will be born
The peace dreamers of the world
Slaughtered while we mourn

Is peace achievable
I guess we,ll never know
But to strive for peace
Is the only way to go

To hate is weakness
To love is power
Judgement day is coming
And in the final hour

As the buttons are pressed
And the missiles fly
And nuclear Armageddon
Blackens out the sky

As we fall to our knees
And accept our fate
As we finally realise
Peace came to late
Thomas clark Mar 2016
If it was possible
To walk in the footsteps of man
Whose shoes would I like to wear
I,ll tell you if I can

There,s so many I admire
It's really hard to say
Can I live a million years
And wear a different pair each day

I think first I,d wear mandellas
Such an unselfish man
To give up 28 years of freedom
So we could understand

Then I,d wear Martin luthers
For I also have a dream
For peace and unity
To be life's only scheme

Then I,d wear Elvis,s
The rock and roll king
His songs had so much meaning
And I,d really love to sing

Maybe Florence nightingales
The lady with the lamp
The nurse of all
The saviour the champ

Then Neil armstrongs
The moonwalking kind
One small step for man
But a giant for mankind

Maybe John lennons
And yoko Ono,s too
They both strove for love and peace
If only it came true

I could go on forever
Wearing other people's shoes
I wonder if we had the chance
Whose shoes would you choose??????????????

i,m charming and witty
sometimes i,m funny
i aint a millionaire
but i aint short of money
i,m a canny lad
my hearts in the right place
just a shame
i got a ugly face
but i do look good
wen i turn my back
but if i face you
cover my head with a sack
i got big ears
and my eyes are brown not blue
but if i i say i love you
you,ll know its ttrue
my manhood is just average
i got sum manboobs too
i got knobbly knees
and my y fronts stink of poo
so wat i need is a blind girl
with no sense of smell
and 1 whos deaf too
so her friends cant tell
guess wat i,m saying
is i,m insecure too
if you still talk to me
respect to you
Thomas clark Mar 2016
Save my tears for bedtime
you,ll hear me laugh
you,ll see me smile
but im still sad
alll the while
saving my tears for bedtime

i joke around
and act the clown
but deep inside
i still feel down
saving my tears for bedtime

i talk the talk
i act the part
but i still got
a broken heart
saving my tears for bedtime

got to be strong
for my kids
but my whole life
has hit the skids
saving my tears for bedtime

the tears i cry
no one will see
just my pillow
for company
saving my tears for bedtime

the sun will never see my tears
only the moon and stars will know i cry
wen you see me in the daylight
i,ll always have a smile in my eye
cos i,m saving my tears for bedtime
War
Thomas clark Jan 2016
War
Since time began
Wars where fought
But no one learned
The lessons taught

Two countries fight
People die
Wives weep
And parents cry

World war one
Blood was spilled
Soldiers on both sides
Where sadly killed

But the biggest question
The saddest sin
Did anybody
Really win

They should of learned
You know it's true
But still we had
A world war two

And once again
Blood was spilled
Soldiers fought
And we're sadly killed

So ask me
What I think of war
I think someone
Should change the law

But here we stand
On the brink
Of world war three
It makes you think

Does anybody
Win a war
Or will we fight
Forever more

Let not one soldier
Die in vain
Let no one fight
A war again

Cos if we do
The superpowers
Could destroy this world
In a couple of hours
Thomas clark Mar 2016
War is a battle
Someone always loses
What's the point
Thomas clark Mar 2016
i asked myself this question
what is a friend
the answers were infinite
the possibilities never end
a friend gives
without receiving
a friend is all seeing
and all believing
a friend always tells the truth
even if you dont want to hear
a friend cud live a lifetime away
yet always feel so near
but the thing that gets me
and plays on my mind
is why are true friends
so hard to find
some friends come
and some friends go
yet some spend a lifetime
with the friends they know
but to me true friendship
Never ever ends
and i love you all so much
all of my friends
if we drift apart
i promise you this
you,ll still be my friend
someone i miss
Thomas clark Mar 2016
When i was little
i just wanted toys
then wen i got older
a bike like other boys
then wen i was a teenager
i wanted designer clothes
now im an adult
i dont need none of those
so wat do i want for xmas
theres nothing that i need
xmas is for my kids now
and it makes my heart bleed
to know i cant give them
All the material things
but i can give them my love
and the joy that it brings
so keep my xmas presents
i dont need anything at all
to know my kids are happy
is the greatest gift of all
Thomas clark Jan 2016
When I look in the mirror
What do I see
I see my twin
He looks just like me

He has my eyes
My hair my face
He hides in my mirror
His private space

He only appears
When I look for him
He quickly vanishes
As my light does dim

Look in your mirror
You might have a twin too
And I bet my bottom dollar
He looks just like you
Thomas clark Jan 2016
Some people dream of holidays
Or winning a lot of money
I guess I,m not like some people
You may think I,m funny

Where I love to be
Is in the arms of my true love Clare
In the loving midst of my family
And I feel truly happy there

I have the richness
Of a loving family
The dreams I dared to wish
All came true for me

I have eight children
And a beautiful wife
I smile everyday
It's a wonderful life

I used to be a dreamer
Just like all of you
But I no longer dream
Cos all my dreams came true
Thomas clark Aug 2016
I,m sitting here wondering
why I ever went to school
cos every course I go on
they treat me like a fool
they ask me easy questions
that my nine year old can do
like three times three
or what is two times two
so was there any point
in learning what I learnt
my gcse passes
might as well be burnt
no offence to my advisor
or the learning concepts staff
but you really got me thinking
someones having a laugh
cos I really aint a fool
I,m a pretty clever bloke
and I,m really wondering
if this all a joke
it makes me feel inadequate
I feel like shouting out
come on Jeremy beadle
its about time you popped out
Thomas clark Mar 2016
We got a new apprentice
Willem is his name
We nicknamed him Rodney
Cos he,s a plonker just the same
He,s a canny kid really
But bites like a shark
So we wind him up all the time
Just for a lark
He climbs the ladder like a girl
Takes a week to get to the top
Never gets us what we ask for
When we send him to the shop
He,s trying to pack in smoking
It really is a joke
When he ***** on his vipe
And vanishes in a cloud of smoke
We let him paint at bahtias
The bit round the door
he painted next doors wall
And got more on the floor
It splashed on his face
His hands were white
He,s really no Picasso
In fact he,s *****
But I really like him
He reminds me of me
I was like that too
When I was THREE!!!!!!
