I think that I
Should not
Write poems
That
Upset people
Those tears in your eyes
Showing , deep sorrow
Glistening with pain
Trickling down your face
Dripping off your chin

Your great shudder
Every now and then
Quivering of your lips
Eyes rolling in anguish
Not wanting to see

Your need for comfort
So very plain to view
There's nothing I can do
Because
You are my reflection.
Another day for Jonathon James
Eyes open in tiny smokey slits
Hoping , all day will stay in gloom
One drink did this to his head

Yeh one more drink than eight
Just one little drink couldn't wait
To split his stupid ***** head
Chaining him to his lazy bed

He dares not smoke his last cigarette
In case he coughs away his heart
And his fat head leaves his body
Looking up from beneath his bed

Ha has to make a few little steps
He has a crying desperate need
When he does , he'll feel so dizzy
But away from his bed he must go

He needs to build his caffeine level
But wonders how it will be done
Then he turns to the noise at the door
And in comes coffee on a tray

He and his girlfriend Joanna May
Sit up together slurping away
The day's getting better and better
Another day for Jonathon James.
First was my eldest sister
Of what , I knew not
She cried and cried
I could do nothing
No , nothing at all
And I didn't know
My elder brother
He cried a lot too
What's happening
Stepfather calls
They both enter
The bedroom
Then it's mine
Yes my turn
He was bare
He made me
The very same
No , please no
It really hurt
And I cried
And cried
What have
I done
So bad
So bad
For this
This pain
Two years
Next brother
Two years
Next sister
Two years
next brother
Two years
Next sister
Yes , we all
Witnessed
Every time
Mother !
Always at work
Nights
And I
Yes I
Did nothing
NOTHING
I did nothing
To stop it
Next
My children
Oh yes
My children
I hate
My children
I see them
In my guilt
Of doing
NOTHING
Hurts hurts
Loo problems
I said
Husband did it
But
He did not
He didn't even know
I told his mother
I told the doctor
He did it
They both said leave him
So in my mind
His fault
Get rid , get rid
He knew nothing
But he had pain
I made sure of that
Because
Looking at him
Made me feel
GUILTY
When
My stepfather died
I cried and cried
Why oh why did I cry
Though not with joy
I still wonder why
He made me rely upon him
He scared the hell out of me
His whisky made him worse
I even bought him presents
Trying to curry favour
Why, why, why , why
I don't know how
He's put
Something
Very strange
In my mind.
Trees centralize scenes
Rivers flow over pebbles
Ever bright the sky
Even sharpen my blue eyes
Sight to be held close to heart
....
Water is hidden
Autumnal sense of being
Trees magical colour
Eternal life abounds here
Ready to be heartfelt now
....
Winds about to blow
Ice and snow follow quite soon
Never without gloom
Deciduous leaves sish sashing
Soon enough for sights delight.
Hutch hopped about
Foraging as usual
Sundance stealthily
Crept towards her
Hutch sensed danger
Turned this way and that
Wrinkling her nose
To test the breeze
But did not detect
Her murderers crouch
Sundance sneaked
Towards a **** position
Getting ready to pounce
Hutch twitched her nose
Oh no , she thought
I'm being stalked
Sundance leapt into space
That's all he had
Hutch had gone.
You said these words
Penelope , I am but a fool
Darling I love you
Though you treat me cruel
And you said mushily
You hurt me and made me cry
And if you leave me
I will surely die
(thanks to Paul Anka for these words)
Now you know you little sniveler
That's not true
Cos I did leave you
And I was planning
All my black stuff
Extremely fetching
For your funeral
It's just like you all do
Promise this
Promise that
You little liar
'I will surely die'
Much more like
I will surely drink
Sing to another.

Paul , I've made a small error

Oh  Paul , you have been misled
When I made you cry so much
That was just a little test for you
'Little sniveler' How cruel was I
I cannot live without you now
My cup for you overflows
My unseemingly pretense , not fair
You are my world , my everything
(thanks whoever for the last line)
How could I have tried to let you go
How very silly , the episode was
I'll be in your loving arms soon

Oh by the way
Congratulations
Upon winning the Euro millions
