Burger Bar Blues
He watches face pressed to the window
hunger pains hurting his stomach
watching them flick the burgers
right into the plastic bin

They don't care for the hungry outside
the homeless the down and outs and starving
their Company tells only to sell
the rest are consigned to the bins

Been told it's company policy
yet I think it's a ****** travesty
such a waste of edible fast food
I wish their was something I could do

Maybe a poem or two
about my burger bar blues
that's about all
I can really do

Rain
It starts as drizzle pita pata gently
the sky gets darker and darker
pita pata become droplets that plop
they hit the red soil pounding hard
dry soil jumping in gratitude and joy

Now the pounding becomes a torrent
the soil does jump no more
the ground all around
starts to change colour
mimicking it's sister sky

Puddles appear everywhere
creating droplets upon water
that leap and twirl
like ballerinas dancing
on their own private pools

The smell of damp soil is so sweet
the clouds depart their work complete
the puddles will shrink as water seeps
into the earth sustaining life new and old
the rain, in my eyes is a wonder to behold

As Our Lamb Suffered
I stood there and watched as our lamb suffered
I watched the soldiers laugh and jeer at him
yet their was nothing I could do but cry

I saw his mother bitterly weep
as she bathed our lambs feet
the soldiers pushed her away
as if she was a dog
but there was nothing I could do but weep

Her pain was my pain
his pain was my pain
I wanted to run to her
yet there was nothing I could do

Then the soldiers poked and prodded him
faking to give him water and spitting at him
that's when I saw red
and there was something I could do

Cry On The Beach
When I lost my mother
I watched her dying
it was only two weeks
after she told me she had cancer
and to see her like that
fighting for breath
and me her first Son......
it was heart breaking.
If I'd known before
I could of done more,
then run off to cry on a beach

Die With Dignity
They walk in to see me
whilst I am laying in this bed
if they only realised
I would be better off dead

I wish one of them would rip the tubes out
I wish one of them would put me to sleep
I hear them saying, he will come round
yet all I want is to be heaven bound

My body is just a shell
with me trapped inside
why don't they help me
and just let me die

Mornings and nights
now are all the same to me
please just one of you please
let me die with some dignity

The Blind Old Man
The Blind man is crying by his door
can't find his key and can't get in
his cat meows and rubs against his legs
he bends down to stroke it in comfort
it hunches it's back with appreciation
not knowing of his masters situation

Nightfall is coming and it's getting cold
the door handle he holds is brittle and old
he descends to sit on his door step
with head in hands he slowly weeps
who will help him with his sad malady
he is a broken man, feels no dignity

Hours pass his memory starts to fade
midnight soon will take his hand
this night will be his lamented last
for when morning does come
he will have his sight again
but no longer will be an old man

From My Window
From my window I see you
you are my night stay with me
there is no point
not knowing I am dying again

When will my punishment end
when to heaven do you send
how much must I endure
I am already in hell so what more

This battleship is going AWOL
and I am taking my fleet numbers
I have my own fish to fry
so watch me my sister fly

To Love Her Children
I so love to see them smile
it's nice to see joy
but yet, I am her battleship
and have no right to care

It chokes me
it hurts me
why was I made
just for sweet war

Look at me, just see
I am transforming
and God I know what will happen
you have made me active

Please just for a little while
let me smile on them
I still feel my legacy
let me love her children

I sustain my scars
what else can you call me to do
you made me a monster
a kick *** war child

Oh Mighty God
just a few minutes
for I fight to win
and to love her children

In Her Wake
She melts into the horizon
saying her goodbyes
she the blossom of spring

Her voice is midnight
her grace a delight
I wave goodbye to her

Back she will go
till the moon calls her
then she will appear

Without her pure light
I am truly lost
for she is my northern star

The pebbles on my beach
now shed indecorous tears
they are beside themselves

The sea does turn to lilac
it tries to calm me
yet my heart does rage

So in her wake
I do what I am asked
till daylight returns

Poetic Porn Star
Let get me get naked
let me get wood
leave me to cut myself
hurt myself to death

Let me break down
become the ***** I am
I am nothing
a poetic **** star

Call me a c.nt
for I am going down
not on you
just in flames

I'm busting 12 to 7
and so hurting inside
I care not a hoot for me
I hope my poetry *****

Beat me with sticks of distaste
tell me I do not represent my race
tell me to *******
back to bleeding space

My Last Kiss
Her kind hands reached out from the water
I tried to pull her out, yet she pulled me in
could it be she wanted to marry me
to swim in her beauty and wonderment
I did not have the heart to tell her
that I was married to the sweet winds

She pulled me close to her
that's when she saw my ring
rising out of the water
she cried and whispered why
that's when I turned away
from the pain in her eyes

Don't go stay with me, she pleaded
I shook my head and rejected her
please kiss me just one more time
just one more kiss she cried
I turned to face her tear filled eyes
I stroked her hair and gave her my last kiss

My State
There's a cow on the roof
a cockerel in the kitchen
a pig in the fridge
and I am ****** scared

The sky is turning purple
people all seem to be smiling
what have they put in the water
what have they put in the water

Lovely is our police state
for all is perfect here
no crime no homeless
and we dance with JOY

Oh this happy England
this **** state of hell
our commanders are tyrants
I myself call them C*nts

How Cold
How cold it gets
when so close to death
how cold
oh how cold

In the shadows I cast
I seem to be waving goodbye
the cool shadows
where death awaits me

This promised moment
this wonderful end
into death arms
I commend my spirit

Death will hug me
take me home again
back to dark lands
lands of my desires

This is where
I am called lord
at the junction
of time it's selves

My Human Divorce
Why do I need to know any more
I so do not need the knowledge
keep your ****** distance
to my human divorce

my emissions minute
I am minute

The Storm Is Coming
The storm is coming
building on the tears
accumulated on cities
and under counter deeds

There is nothing left to hide under
no shelter from the rain of your sins
proclaim your love of God
but we know all your sins

The storm is coming
across your accursed lands
where tyrants of greed
live their rancid gluttony

Oh sweet Jesus
let me tear them
limb by limb
and spit in their face

Death And Me
I paint flames on my fighter jet
knowing I will not be coming back
I have a one way ticket
to the edge of oblivion

Death takes the rear seat
and in the thin air
drops the bombs
to wake up the enemy

He giggles as he brakes their slumber
just to put them to sleep again
as the last bomb falls
I make a bee line to the sun

Let me finish what I did not begin
let me die with death by my side
for I hate him as much
as I do hate myself

Tuna
Hunting torpedoes of the sea
darting in frenzied anticipation
in schools of hundreds
oceanic masters of the seas

Best tasted on bread with mayo
until all have left the sea
then in pity we will cry
that we have nothing left

Nothing to go with our fries
nothing to batter
for we are willing
to starve the seas of fish

Our finny friends
that give protein
to half of this
unfortunate world

2007 Poem Utext
Yes, once it was red and full of hope
now it is black and full of destruction
beating slow now and immersed in discontented grey hate
this child of christ now steps out of the light of honour
for on his lips is the blood of the last dark trinity
with the cold hopes of lost designations of god hood

No more will the lies of ancient Universal Texts hold manner
for the broken hearted toy of summer dreams unrequited
rolls forth the carpet of time and opens the door to the last war
then dies again and again and again in ****** communion of lost causes
and surely no one could should weep for a child of war
as they leave earth's realm to live in battle for ever more

Tempus fugit and it played havoc on aged mercury
so now he takes flight with stained ragged wings
folds the last of lost space with dinner plates whist angles sing
then they look down and tears of sorrows they bring
like splintered rainbows given in lies for everyone's sins
there is no glory in lost hope and all that it brings

Into Action
It's getting bigger as time slows
the machine that fold space hums
so here we go again my sun
round and around the mulberry bush

Gaining momentum, yes speeding up
as all around me does start to slow
this is relative time displacement
what fun time is, to play with

My watch melts in this stellar gardens
worms holes start to implode
the in and outs of my reign
are in glorious hyper drives

Sliding sometimes skidding
meow like a universal kitten
hear me purr of satisfaction
as I go again and again into action

Sad Epic
I did not want to write this
yet for reasons I not why
I am compelled to

Oh if knew how it was
when man and God were the same
if you only knew

Mark my words in blood
for I will bleed for these
knowing all soon will be turned to dust

So I will now recant secrets
give you what I was never given
forgiveness and a ****** chance

4 Lines

After all the hell we went through
they took our lives away
made of war for a few years
then told to be in control again

Do you know what is like
did you ever have to ****
I tell you one thing and ****** shout it
there is nothing cool about it war

What glory is their in killing
while you know the loss
the children wanting daddy to come home
this sad epic of the lonely

Just leave me alone
I so want to die
seeing their sons and daughters
every time I close my eyes

Echopraxia Of Human Form
You have one of twelve left in me
I am truly at my limit
this echopaxia of human form
is what I do so well

It's a pity, you know
I really wanted to be someone
but it seems this was just a hobby
as I am asked to fade into ambiguity

Why did I have to know love
why did I have to know pain
why give me pride
then take it away again

Just a little longer
just another garden
just another kiss
by bidding and wish

My Daughter, Miss Tidy Up
Bless her little cotton socks
and her bossy little boots
she has come down again
just to tidy up
oh yes, and to be
near to her Daddy

Her soul shines with kindness
and such an intellectual soul
I wonder where she gets that from

My daughter, miss tidy up
I am so proud of her
in her eyes I do see hope
I see compassion
and a heart of gold

Silver Star
Mum, I'm feeling so cold
something warm seeps out
pouring warm, so slowly out of me

Mother, am I going to get home
for I seem to be getting further away
yet I senses tell me you are close

Tell me there's a future called peace
for all the blood that's been lost
tell me we have justified the cost

I do not want to die, mother
in so much pain and coughing blood
sinking into this unkind field of mud

I know your warm loving arms
can not comfort me from afar
so remember me, your silver star

Dancer
The tartan that rode high on his hips
made the milk maidens get cream
and the hogs that disagreed
were made into compost
for the farmers seeds

He danced a merry fit
then behind a bush
had a ***, when he'd found out
she was a *****
with a mother of teeth and spite

His dance became an echo
of the suede love he had for her
and her heart did rot
it rotted as a peach would
at the call of winters song

Trash
Paper cups skip across the green fields
gently pushed by warm summer winds
I know the gig has finished
but the music is still in my head

So I stand here waiting for the rain
for then all my tears will be hidden
I will stand in the downpour
till all my crying is ridden

I hear the clang of empty cans
and the whistle of bottle rims
I will stay in this field of trash
till I don't feel trash myself, anymore

If My Heart Was Broken
If my heart was broken
do you my love think you could heal it
could you my love
could you make it beat with rich blood again

I know you know my passion means nothing without you
so to the dust I sing wings of fury
but I will flutter aimlessly without you
for you are my judge and jury

If truly my heart is broken
then you know all of me
and pity me as fool
as I do pity me

I head to the mountains
as the storm does come
and as lighting strikes
hit I will be, yet the only one

For without you
no kitten hugs
no love of human heart
my love will be broken apart

Becoming
This is just the start
this is the becoming
the star ships of his mind
now focuses on mother earth

I think the boy is really going
I think he is going to go for it
It is a smart decision I think
for his mind is in the heavens

Never will he fail to try
this kid wants to be one of the best
and he will I reckon go
I mean really go full out

This is a kid out of his P J s
a baby out of his pram
only God knows
what he has planned

The Green Goats
The rocks on these barren mountain slopes
slowly bleed radioactive isotopes
this is where the goats of green start bleating for more
yet all is silent below, where begins the fields of war

Only these strange green goats are alive now
they had watched up on grounds high
watched the battle of mankind and Earth
knowing if man had won, no one would survive

After turning on mother Earth breaking her back
they in their greed of want turned on each other
they stole what they could of other lands resources
those final battles of man now gone, saved their mother

The green goats will in time turn pure white
with no mind poison of man in sight
the green will come back to the world
greed will now stay hidden within deep soil

Your Poet
There is time to love my heart calls
yet my love is pure and her name is poetry
I have written to devote my life to her
and make her proud of my words

Time will never diminish me
as poetry holds me in it's wonder
and her loving arms
will one day make me a man

She was the one that helped me stand up
when all was lost and I had fallen down
without her sweet breath I would not sing
for she became my melody and saviour

This is my gift to you
this is my heart telling
this is what I become
your poet and love

Keen
Time please gentlemen he calls
and with that the bell rings
I love this pub
it's a pity about the smoking

But it is time to leave
so I go into the secret garden
there I unfold my wings
and take flight home

In my mind is that oak bar
and the drinks that frequent
but now I will take roost
dreaming of conquest drunk

It is time for me to sleep
it is a time for me to dream
and beyond moderation
be a writer very keen

that I only write when drunk
my body will only take so much
then in my stupor I will fade

Come live in me
feel my undying love of poetry
know that I will die a poet
and will be proud to fall on words

Touch me if you mean it
show me your passion
as I do in writes
my passion is your passion

With what is left of my life
I dedicate the reason of living
to the fine and wonder of my love
my life to Poetry

Sleeping Happy
The petals fall from my rose
and it's barren buds doth bleeds
in it's death, it tells me to dance
so I dance with tears of guilt and sorrow

How spiteful life can be
how rotten to the core it can make you feel
sometimes I want to disown my race
yet in the distance I see a holy light
and in that moment pure
this knowing gives me flight

There is magic in my being
I want to be a peace maker
and not a child of war
yet my skills proceed me

I surround myself with good
war is far from my thoughts
I do not want to be awakened
as my persona is a silver dragon

I sleep a slumber deep
deeper than a human soul
I will bathe in the goodness of man
and sleep, till that time I'm called

Before Loosing London
Whilst London burned
they did try so hard
with hands tied behind their backs
they did try

This political upheaval
lies between the lines
kids doing criminal acts
beyond the years of crime

This nasty situation
with thugs on our streets
this is what England is now
full of yobs and sheep

This Rat in black
has had far too much
if I had law in this land
I'd eat them up for lunch

Looters and thieves
visions beyond belief
I want them called to justice
before I loose it and grit my teeth

I will fight for my country, tooth and nail
No enemy from within, will take us now
I would face death before loosing London
and all good Londoners will show you how

Pearls On Broken Glass
She lays the table for six
rushing herself off her dainty feet
all the tableware set in place
table mats made out of lace

The candles have now been lit
to the call of the falling night
from the kitchen she brings
all the treaties of lies

No food is on the menu
no friends will be seated
her name is freedom of speech
and the poor cow is on her own

She flowed against the tide
she told of ******* and lies
now she sits on her ***
and eats peals of broken glass

To The Glory Of You
When the light did dim from your eyes
and you went back to the realms of forever more
I wanted to lay by your side and fade with you
but you begged me not to, so I obeyed you

Because of you my dark eyes now blaze
and not even the mighty stars will stop me
I will always treasure your words and wisdom
I am now committed by heart to this command

I took that trip you asked me to my dear
I looked within, to what I have to give
oh how deep and secret is my mind
how many ravines of knowledge given

Each touch of keys or stroke of pen
will be in the honour of you
you are the flame that lit the touch paper
every word uttered will be in the glory of you

As the candle falls to the floor
it flickers to the blood on the wall
oh he has tried it again
he tried to commit suicide

I am sure one day he will succeed
biting on bullets as he bleeds
he took a human body for his own
never will he be welcome home

He is the wolf of October winds
a nightmare on two legs
better run now child of Eve
before he falls on you

Run, please run

The mist of some Autumn days, make's me rather recumbent
no way do I rise on a grey morose day liken to this icky sticky day
it does my lungs not any favours and I choke on it's moist cloak
and if I go out with an umbrella matter not, my clothes get truly soaked

Let's see the forecast again for tomorrow
maybe a Mack I will ask a friend to borrow
but they are not like me, up at the crack of dawn
so I go back to bed as I stretch and yawn

Forecast low cloud and mist again

Every Scare Is A Battle
I lay my sword lion heart on the ground
and ask for a parley
finding yourself is better then not knowing
and by lucky chance I found my ancient name

Even my sweet ***** cat is deemed warlock
yet only being with one liken to me
so no arms I hold this day
this the last of me, this Sunday

Please ponder on my scares
for each one was for you
and I will forever protect Earth
In everything that I do

Only a few of wonders know my real name
to speak it would be a sin of sins
I am wind and the sky
the breath of a new born child

So know every scare I have
truly with pride was for you
and when I die broken
I will transfer my love to you

It is time and I will mention no names
for love will not come from their lying words
go hide behind your cross of lies
you so proud and prominent yet church dim
Do you know I saw you in the garden fifty years ago
and you dancing in a white skirt in warm rain
I am sure in your puritanism dreams
you would have been better off dead
Oh No No No Daughter of Eve
there is as more then I should say
better fade and retreat, mercy the crap you speak
for deaf ears big or small means nothing to me
For I have become God's law
and I promise to justice bring you
so I smite those of sin perverted lie
that covert that murderous Catholic disorder
Oh Sweet mercy come for you
For it is my turn *******, its better then you

As I Meet Sunday
I meet Sunday on my seventh day of fasting
and the power of the trinity flows within me
in this most spiritual state of denying sustenance

I did find the lost dead and those stuck in limbo
and I have brought them back to the light

So as I meet this Sunday
I will bring the Gods in, and the Gods without
and as I prepare for the holy gift

I lay face down in humility
making my body my lords cross

The Rose
As the petals fell through her fingers
as she clutched onto the thorny stems
and as the blood dripped down her wrist
she did collapse and started to cry

The rose she held was tainted with poison
and the sting on her fingertips
made the pale moon spout tears
her love and honour cut a new democracy

She was sane once before she loved the rose
the coal that time despises, she drops to the floor
this last of summers roses faded to black
and her confession is all they ask for, as they stretch her on the rack

But she of charity and faith, will do what all must do
she will stay in silence, tortured in vile violence
yet her lips are sealed to protect the lamb
and as was told a thousand years ago, and she understands

She is the blood red rose
the forgiveness of mankind
the child of love
she is Christ's rose and time

In This Perfect Moment
In this perfect moment of spiritual oneness
when even in darkness I see the light and glory
I repent not, for I promised to break no vows
so I move in the wonder and dwell in dreams forgotten

I ask nothing for me or my kind
as sacrifice is a most sacred thing
and in this most uplifting holy day
we have prayed for this perfect moment

As we sing in our thousands pure
we know that we, we have to endure
mercy that yet least we are not battle worn
and so gifted are our armies in the arts of wars

Yet on this fifth day of fasting
I sit with the others liken to me
and with pyramids of silver
we ask for strength and purity

Unattainable
To keep yourself at a distance
throwing shields up so they never know you
it's not clever, is not fun
but for self preservation it has to be done

It's not that I don't want to be friendly
but a long time ago I lost trust in mankind
I always help when I am available
yet most of the time I am To keep yourself at a distance
throwing shields up so they never know you
it's not clever, is not fun
but for self preservation it has to be done

It's not that I don't want to be friendly
but a long time ago I lost trust in mankind
I always help when I am available
yet most of the time I am unattainable

I need not the care of love, just passion
for it is a most precious commodity to me
and as I writhe like a monkey on his back
know now and care not that I am unattainable

Back To The Wall
When I write, I have to push my friends away
for no way do I want them to see my fury
for they will never understand the passion within
and the pain of my broken heart, does cause me

For I am Poet and proud of that
and no matter the retraction, it is my art
but time and stars have told me to leave this wonder
for I am called again to another art to ponder

This is not a goodbye
just a sweet retreat
to my love of loves
that I will never repeat

So glory to poetry
for I am called
and blindfolded I die
with my back to the wall

If My Heart Was Broken
If my heart was broken
do you my love think you could heal it
could you my love
could you make it beat with rich blood again

I know you know my passion means nothing without you
so to the dust I sing wings of fury
but I will flutter aimlessly without you
for you are my judge and jury

If truly my heart is broken
then you know all of me
and pity me as fool
as I do pity me

I head to the mountains
as the storm does come
and as lighting strikes
hit I will be, yet the only one

For without you
no kitten hugs
no love of human heart
my love will be broken apart

Writing Poetry To Tom Waits
Writing poetry whist listening to Tom Waits
maybe that was a ****** bad Idea
all I see is blackness and dark words
whilst I write to I love his cut of his gibe
he has views as dark as my own
and man if I need an idea

I would call him on my phone
It's not cool writing to Tom Waits
for he just puts me in a dark state
better I change the sounds
before I get myself into dark poetic ways
