Let it snow
snow day
school is out
all white and so bright
even when the lights are out
you can almost hear it
as it falls to the ground
snow makes sounds
as falls on the next door up lawn
she has more than me
what have I ever done to get less
let it snow
where are the winds
when you want them to blow
to pile up the snow
give me more
than her
she gets
everything.

P@ul. LOVE to all ***.

We only live once,
           the question is are we living
          or sleeping through
                           the wonderment of life..

Never run through life walk it slowly..
                    Don't sleep through it,
open your eyes and look at what you can see
                                     when you look closely..

                     You'll see more
and enjoy the walk
because we can only walk a path so long...

dead batteries linger
buried beneath the silver forks

life is still a lost spark
686 haiku, what I found in my draw...

You been on my mind heavy, but
I gotta let you go.
You're a ghost now.
Stop appearing in my dreams, doing
Shows.
I'm not very entertained. I am
Actually afraid. And if I knew where
It was at, I think I'd come right to
Your grave,
And ask you to knock it off,
Since you never said goodbye.
You don't got the right to pop up in
My head by surprise. And
You don't pay enough rent in the
Depths of my mind
To think that that's where your final
Legacy should reside.
I have now fallen in love with a woman
Who breathes air.
She's got blood in her veins and
Doesn't cause me despair.
She's more than just a picture of the
Capture of a stare.
But why tell you this? You'd just say
You do not care.
But this is vital information, that you
Really need to hear.
I don't wanna close my eyes, fall
Asleep, and you appear.
I loved you in the past and I'll always
Love you, dear.
But the wrath of your absence can't be
Something that I fear.
Of course, I'd like to close this off with
Something great.
But I'll have to end it abruptly.
Something much like your fate.
And I hope that in death, you resist
To give hate.
And I hope that you can leave me
Alone with a clean slate.

I have this brain
With which I sometimes think

A set of eyes
Stuck in sockets to see

Two healthy lungs
That know the key is to breath

To keep my heart pumping
In its perpetual beat

A mouth that too often
Doesn't think when it speaks

A stomach that growls
When it's time too feed

Not too picky
When it comes to its choice of eats

Other body parts involved
In the space between

Some working fine
Others struggling to reach

All miraculously entwined  
From my head to feet

These are just a few parts I've got
That make up part of me

I was lost
Felt like a *** of paper
Tossed to the side
To unimportant to be picked up
I've never felt so low
I was broken
Like fire fly
Who's **** didn't glow
Maybe I should buy a gun
And scattered this wicked thoughts in my brain
But I've never been the one
To hurt myself
By my own hands
I couldn't slit my own wrist
Or even punch myself
With my fist
Even if I ever did contemplated suicide
I couldn't commit

My muteness is an epilogue for
all the words that died before you.
            Entombed within the fibres of you fingertips
names you scratched from the hollow bearing of
        those canals of listening..  they say silence is spoken
but my words bleed from your ears in silence

Going down the tube
you do it for it's fast
I'd like to be the last
it is not because I am old
is just me I'm fast
and my surrealistic mind
clean and real
and Solihull Rock
through and through
Birmingham in my heart
and all of my kind
we speak like we do, OK!

Does not mean that we are slow
for we make cars
as fast as you wish to go
motorsports
our cars just don't do ovals
over and over again
with banked corners
we can do on the street
mostly flat
and by the way, tunnels take you to the dark side.

Love P@ul.
P@ul. ***.

I saw you gasping
Thrashing

Mouth gaped open
Pearly white teeth

Laughter gone
Misery glued to your face

Dying
Sinking

Blue eyes
Blood shot red

Inches from death
Hero, I am not one

The savior is dead
Threw you a life jacket instead

Saved your life
Except, I'm the one drowning

Why does it rain
When the sun shines
Dude are you blind
It’s just Mother Nature
Laughing and crying at the same time

I was always so focus
With keeping other people head above the water
I never seemed to notice
I was the one that started to drown

Phenomenological
Now
Now is all I have,
A masters grace that transcends
Ability of those before and after
My only tercet (I think that's what you call it). I wrote it in one spurt, couldn't think of anything else to write after it, so I left it as it is.
