Blood runs cold
Down blooded steel
No time to reflect
On how you feel.
Soldier oh soldier
Stalwart and true
The lives you take
Become apart of you.
Corrupting thoughts
Haunting your mind
Taking your eyes
Where the sun
Don’t shine
Barbed wire soul
Acid shot eyes
Aftermath of war
Mother cries.
Blood runs cold down
Blooded steel
Ask for help
Before god we kneel.

My dad made an ark
He made it out of wood
All this rain we’re having
He did the best he could.
Me family were astounded
Creatures came from there
So utterly dumbfounded
The came in ****** pairs.
Dad made a place
For all animals on the ark
We had no lighting so they
Had to **** in the dark.
One animal kingdom
Lost to the sea
All that poo was getting
To me.
40 days  
40 nights the waters started
To recede with a sigh of relief
All the animals were pleased.
When all the animals left
Two by two
That left me family and a couple
Of crew
That night we ate and we did pray
Guess what happened
It rained next day.

Loneliness is a broken heart
Tears will fall from heaven
Love is like a happiness trap
Stuck between *** and seven
Loneliness is a place of dread
Tears from footsteps
Which you have tread.
Loneliness when blue eyes cry
A broken heart
inside you die.

Hello all you poetry people
Shout your words from
The highest steeple
Keep it coming
For us to read
It’s a pleasure
Yes indeed
Hello poetry
A platform
For words
The good
The bad
The ridiculously
Absurd.
Why do we do it
Yes indeed
It gives us
People something
To read.
Thanks.

Sleeping cornfields
Waiting for the sun
Fawns are grazing
Morning has begun.
Dew upon the
Meadow green
Waking pastures
So serene.
Wind is whistling
Through the trees
Birds upon the breeze
Fox and hares do there
Morning dance
It’s such a pleasure to see.
Pathway walkers
Bring in the morn
To catch a glimpse
Of the baby fawn
Slice of cake and a cup
Of tea
Breeze is in my face
Countryside mornings
Can you think
Of  a better place.

Mother
Father
Passed
Away
Orphan boy
Alone today
Oh so cold
Minus two
Enlighten
Me on what
To do.

Motherless child
Will reap no harvest
The saddest thing
On earth
A motherless child
Will reap no harvest
Life is
about giving
Birth.
