No Restrictions - Hello Poetry

Just sitting
listening to Alan Parsons
Rubbing Germolene
into my arm
after a battal with the roses
in my garden
rubbing in Germolene
as my arms now stinging
trying to relax
picking up my pen
and writting words down
try to make sense of them all
as the fumes
of the Germolene ant nice
but stopped the stinging in my arm
Germolene
the gardeners
best friend
and makes you smell like
you've just come
from the gym
P@ul.

So true love P@ul. :-)

Roll Up, Roll Up

Roll up...Roll up
the show is set to start
One playing for your head
One playing for your heart

It's time for an election
To see who rules the roost
Time for your selection
Who gives the bigger boost

Matchmaker, Matchmaker
make me a match
Pick me a President
Which one to catch
Matchmaker, Matchmaker
Show me a name
It's doesn't much matter
They are all the same

Roll up, Roll up
They're all set to speak
A ten minute talk
That may take all week

Choose either party
and their rainmaker head
make promises of fairy dust
You'll get once your dead

Matchmaker, Matchmaker
Show me the one
Who will unload the bullets
But, still own the gun

Matchmaker, Matchmaker
The time is now here
To pick a new President
Please ally my fears

Roll up, Roll up
The choices are few
I'm voting for one
But, I do not know who

Roll Up, Roll Up
The show's set to start
with enameled fake smiles
I can't tell them apart

Roll Up....Roll Up...

these days.

You find yourself
rushing to the airport
where there you have to wait
for how long
no body knows.

You find yourself
in another girls arms
you relise your mistake
for how long
no body knows.

You find yourself
in the bank
just standing there
for how long
no body knows.

You find yourself
in Tessco at the automated tills
unexpectted item in the baggin area
you are glad of the conversation
only the security guard thats eject you
give you some human touch.

true story, remember never drink befor shopping

I want a hat.

I want a hat
to top myself off
so to the hatters did call
he measured me up
and gave me a price.

Hats come very pricy
so listen to my advice
if you want to get a hat
then get ahead.

True story P@ul.

Dear Mom.

Whats so good about love
if I carn't be with you
all I feel is the loss
now you have gone
I feel down like I am about to drown in my own tears
I about to break down and cry

who will tell me when I am wrong
who will set me on the right path
you ever lovin son P@ul rest in peace.

With all my love Mommy dear, maybe words will save my soul!

our lands, the lands of the free

Equality For All

Why do you despise
Those who must fight to survive
In our lands
The lands of the free
Those who walk the cracked concrete streets
High on the cannabis ****
The dull glaze in their eyes
No will to survive
No hope, no future in sight
Hispanic and black and *** country white
Painted with the same ***** brush
Their only crime is the place they were born
Born on the wrong side of the track
But they to have rights
Be they black brown or white
They to have voices to be heard
You live in your big house
With untold wealth
The taxman to defraud
Fancy car and swimming pool
A room filled with fancy shoes
Yes shoes never worn more than once
Then left there on the shelf
You write a cheque for a million dollars
But never give a thought
For those on the other side of the track
Down trodden whites, Hispanics
And the un educated blacks

*yes, our lands, the lands of the free

All to often we call upon them to serve and die for us but still all to often treat them as second class citizens

Dear Joan,

My Mom,

Our Mom,

Our grandmother,

Our Great Grand Mom,

Dear Mom.

My mother dear when ever you hold me
all the things that hurt me are gone.

My mother.

when I needed you
you are always there
somehow when you held me
all thing bad are no longer there
like when I fell and hurt my head
on the garden gate
remember waking up
and you are there kissing all
the bad things alway from my head.

Dear Joan our mother dear,

Where have you gone
I am at a loss to know
where are you
when I need you now

Mother you must always know
we will always love you
as you did so much us.

R.I.P. With Love Joan our mother so dear to us.

True story as suggested by Beth my grand daughtter to help me with the loss of my Mom. and a very good idear.

You would not like me when I clench my teeth.

Now I am a man
well you might call me layed back
easy going, soft spoken
but man if I clench my teeth
I am a man you wish you did not know
P@ul means a small brown worror
so your better off trying to make me smile
Don't make me mad
don't bring out my devil
that dewls inside
of what you think
is your heaven
and donn't
make them
put me back
into room 77.

True stoy P@ul.

W O r D S.

Why do i express
in words the things
I car'nt say
maybe my words are my mind
which in the day
scambles on thinking things
all the things
I could not possibly say
I am sure my mind
will blow up one day
bit like an atomic bomb
and from that
we are not all coming back
i do not see me seeing black
it will be more a glow
the colours of
I car'nt imagin
though
no
I
Can not*
the river sets in the valley of life.

Why car'nt I.

Why must I
feel like I am blue
this morning when I woke up
I was sure I was green
what has change?
colours you might say
that's not how you feel
on this a green day!
still none the wiser
my body travels on
to a green day
make it so
but
I
am
B L U E.

Sat back watching a film
and all I found
was blue
people like me
they said I might servive
although your blue
I am not blue
I would shout back at them
they never listen to me
listen
I
am
******* green

Just as much as I think you know
this morning woke up

Had no clour at all.

Pupets are painting there toes
who's pulling
the strings
puppets who care carry on
but my mind car'nt
pull one and poke out your eyes out.

Went to the doctors today.

Went to the doctors today
he said, sit down, have not seen you in long time
No, I did say I have been ill,
at that he did say
your in for your 6 month review
think he meant my 60,000 mile service
for he pumped this thing on my arm
pressed a thing on my chest
looked in my eyes
and did say
the last blood test, when did you have?
what my mind thought,
you should know it's all there
right infront of you
Dr what planet are you on
he said man purple haze
at that I woke up
so got an appointment at the doctors today.

TRue Story P@ul.
LO VE PAUL, < ------- For all those that did not work that out.

Dear Kim.

Dear Kim
sorry, sorry baby
But I woun't be at your home tomorrow
sorry baby, but I have to let you down
Got to look for a brand new woman
when I was young to took everything I had
not sure, I have anything left to give you
but will, I will always love you
I will always, remember as the girl down the road.

It's hard when first love comes back to find you P@ul.
