dropping beats, spitting rhymes in this underpass,
you rapped to the rhythm of my darkling heart
laid down that **** like a line of the white
pulse is banging but my head is light
and now it’s like this mix is the styx part II
there’s a river and I’m crossing **** over to you
in this underground we sound like souls apart
i reach out you feel and the blood stream starts
i think i see family in the ghosts who scream
brothers and sisters in the shades i deem
to be like my own when this cipher’s writ down
in this tunnel in this channel in this under the ground
in the dark of this underpass its heavy black
god’s demon throbbed and i hollered back
Today there is a spanner
Stuck within the machinery
Life has twisted as many times
As it has decided to turn
And leaves me
Running short of the finishing line
Today the sun doesnt seem to
Warm that place inside that hurts
Today the pains of yesterday
Seem to penetrate my body
Like a car that fails its mot
I book in for a service
And hope for the best
But I thought I had smoothed the cracks
Left every stone unturned
Let go
Of all I couldn't control
Yet life leaves me weak
Teaching me that control is not the answer
May the storms blow over
As I know they surely will
May I feel the sun once more
Warming my soul
Take from me now
That which brings me down
May my fear
Which ever cell it dwells
Within me
Be scattered upon the wind
I really havent got time for all this
I'm needed
Always needed
So need to be strong
Within my fabric
Their seems to be a tare that needs sewing
He thinks her little feet should pass
Where dandelions star thickly grass;
Her hands should lift in sunlit air
Sea-wind should tangle up her hair.
Green leaves, he says, have never heard
A sweeter ragtime mockingbird,
Nor has the moon-man ever seen,
Or man in the spotlight, leering green,
Such a beguiling, smiling queen.

Her eyes, he says, are stars at dusk,
Her mouth as sweet as red-rose musk;
And when she dances his young heart swells
With flutes and viols and silver bells;
His brain is dizzy, his senses swim,
When she slants her ragtime eyes at him. . .

Moonlight shadows, he bids her see,
Move no more silently than she.
It was this way, he says, she came,
Into his cold heart, bearing flame.
And now that his heart is all on fire
Will she refuse his heart's desire?-
And O! has the Moon Man ever seen
(Or the spotlight devil, leering green)
A sweeter shadow upon a screen?
YOU
Ignore the weeping wounded
As they wallow in the mire

YOU
Fear contamination
Of your heart's desire

Kudos
Respect
Acceptance

YOUR
Palatable poison of the day

Knock
Knock
Knock

"Have you seen my courage?"
"Is it coming out to play?"


"Not today *Poet

For your words are all but dead
Maybe ...
Next time
Stick to your principles
Instead of rolling over .... playing dead!"

"You have a voice
Use it
Stand tall
Walk tall
Walk proud
Believe what
YOU
Believe in

Not the needs of this faux crowd!

"I thought you were a Warrior
A God amongst mere men
But ...
When the push
Came to
The shove

YOU

YOU

Divorced yourself from Zen

"So here is my dilemma
The knot tight inside my soul
Was this just a one off?
Or will
YOU
Always roll

Always roll on with the 'in crowd'
Irrespective of the
THOUGHT
Or will

YOU

Stand by .... what you believe in?
Stand by .... what you've been taught?"


"Fakes & Phonies
Two a penny
Cut no ice with me
But ...
For the record
I will state
My name is
MARIE-LOUISE
Bathsheba was just a bit of fun
It held me in good stead
But now ...
I feel the time is right
To lie her down to bed"

"And as I lay her down to sleep
Silently close the door
I know she was a lot of things

But never a poet *****!

She always held her principles
In highest of esteem
She was an individual
But still part of the team
Can you my friend
Say the same
With your hand held on your heart
Or will

YOU

Stick your head in the sand
then try to pass it of
as

Dedicated to the countless fakes and phonies on Hello Poetry

You make me ***** with your pathetic and puerile *******
A flash of light,
Then a brilliant burst of colour,
And a deep amber of the most passionate hue,
Fell into waves,
And framed the brightest eyes of ocean blue.

A luminous face of olive-white,
Stared into my soul,
And filled my heart with delight.
Behind peach lips,
A smile reflected a smile,
As she outstretched her long arms,
In the most graceful style.

Her fragile hand turned a rotation,
Her fingers changing form,
Her other arm held above her head,
The breeze before the storm.

The girl from the other side of the camera was her.

Her final request:
One last picture.

She beckoned me near
And brushed my hair behind my ear.
Then, as if it were a sign,
She parted her lips,
And pressed them to mine.
As the compact square drifts into my mouth,
Cocoa fireworks ascend, shooting up at the speed of light,
Leaving the milky texture tinging in my mouth.
As heat slowly melts it; as it grows not up but down,
I can feel it slide smoothly down the tunnel that is my throat,
Still descending into a dark crevice,
Never to be seen again.
Fairtrade is one of many kinds,
Like Asian, African, American of our race.
A saviour object, one that can give so much,
To change the lives of millions,
To give them one thing that most people need.
Hope.

I did not mean to copy my sister, but in my previous school I had created a poem that many thought was a great piece of work. Although that memory has slipped from my mind I still wanted to see if I could create something as good if not better. I hope you all like it anyway.
Our evil plans are unfurled
As we plan to take over the world
Eve and I were so excited that we twirled
We are awesome possums
And we are Valiant Sun Valliants
We own
And Pown
