Top of the world
Three blind rats
The violent type
Ran the sewers
Day and night.
Every sewer was
Their domain
To any outsider
They would
Inflict pain.
Billy,Bolly,Bango,
Had a friend called Dave
If you misbehave
I’ll give you the plaque.
Im a ***** rat
Top of the world

Down but not out
Fathomless sorrow
Reaching through time
All my love swimming
Lost in a glass of wine.
Candle burning slowly
Time standing still
Another night alone
I’ll be paying the bill.
Fathomless sorrow
Of a broken heart still
Looking for love,
and a fresh new start.
Surfing the world
On a nuclear bomb,
With elegant style
Panache and aplomb.
Around and around
Undecided where to stop
Like the grand master
In a circus big top.
Entertaining the masses
With laughter and fear,
Hip hip hooray
Who let out a big cheer.
Every so often when losing
One’s grip please
don’t get your ****
Stuck in your zip.
Riding this horse
Through glens
And dales
being chased
By demons and
Witches that wail.
Being closed down
At very high speed
Now Im thinking
I shouldn’t have
Smoked that ****.
The horse then
Turned into a unicorn,
In my right hand
Appeared a brass horn
I put to my lips a blasted
Out a tune
What was I hearing 99
Red balloons
Still this tune upon
This day
Kept those demons
and witches away.

Sin
Mark Bell Apr 7
Sin
Im guilty as charged
I’ve committed a sin
Im keeping my sin
Tightly within
Actually I would
Rather not
I had *** with the
Wife’s sister
She’s rather hot.
I don’t even like her
The nether regions
We’re warm
All this is going to do
Is kick up a storm.
Shall I let it run
its ugly course
Keep my sin to myself
Looks like we’re heading
For divorce
What the future holds
I shall ponder and dread
All I can say her sister
Is great in bed.

Upside down
Mark Bell Apr 6
Me and my mate Dave
Hang upside down
Inside a cave
We watch cricket
we would like a go at that
Problem is we’re just
Two bats.

Dreaming
Mark Bell Apr 5
Dreaming Im floating
In the depths of dark
Im swimming in the sea
Being chased  by sharks.
Running through fires
Bombs dropping from sky
Flying with butterflies
In these dreams I die.
I crawl down the stairs
Being chased by the dark
Midnight is coming
The clocks start to bark.
Im out with the fairies
Surfing the Milky Way
These nights I dream
I come out to play.
Apr 5 · 62
Lost my woman
Mark Bell Apr 5
Lost as lost
As lost can be
Squares are
Fitting into circles,
This is confusing me.
Running thoughts are
Scattered inside
My  broken mind
Life has flipped and
Gone unkind,
The scent of my lover
I shall not smell
The unforgivable *****
Ran off to hell.
She needed a devil
She needed fun but
Im going for a coffee
And a hot cross bun.
Apr 5 · 34
My city
Mark Bell Apr 5
My home city
Is going into decay
Councillors are useless
With nothing to say.
Bungs from builders
Corruption rife
City falling
down a rat hole
It’s losing its life.
Venues for entertainment
Closing there doors
Brothels are opening
Full of ******.
Bus shelters
smelling of ****
People in authority
It’s the poor they bleed,
My home city will
Always be blue
Run by incompetence
And haven’t a clue,
Apr 4 · 28
My lady friend
Mark Bell Apr 4
My woman
Put a spell on me
The clutches
Are tight I
Can’t get free.
She has this lure
There is no cure,
Her heart ain’t golden
Nor innocent or pure.
Her heart is a star
She’s a strange brew
She’s very  cryptic
Never blue,
Who am I to
Enjoy this treasure
Full of life and
****** pleasure.

Madness
Mark Bell Apr 2
Do you hear
Voices in a scream
My imagination
Is my dream
Nothing is nothing
Life isn’t fair
I only have thoughts
I cannot share.
I really don’t
Know what’s wrong with me
Im like a loser lost at sea.
Who really adheres
When you converse
Everything in madness
Its ******* perverse.
Apr 2 · 34
Summer arrives
Mark Bell Apr 2
Winter sometimes
Cold and unkind
Summer mornings
Tonic to the mind.
Temperature goes up
The sun do's shine
Us at the table
With bottles of wine.
Summer is lovely
My woman is definitely
not *****
She likes to dance
All day naked
In the ****.
I certainly don’t have
A problem with that,
Nor do the neighbours
And their tabby cat.
Apr 2 · 36
Sweet
Mark Bell Apr 2
I yelled in anguish
Dropped to my
Knees as if in pain
What he said to me
Was a nectar  to
My brain.
Forty years of
marriage
Thinking we will
Do the course
Now he’***** me
He wants a
******* divorce.
I did agree
he said now
I am free
Unbeknown to him
Six months earlier
I had won 30 million
On the lottery.
Apr 1 · 76
Tired of waiting
Mark Bell Apr 1
Watching the
cactus grow
Not very exciting
And very slow,
Time for me
Is an exercise
The numbers
Are different
Which is no surprise.
Boredom is an awful pain
Loneliness makes you fragile
Everything’s the same.
Thoughts are like
A bowl of vegetable soup
Jumping back and forwards
Through a very small loop.
Hope I don’t live to see
Another day
So Im waiting for god
To take my breath away.

Hindsight
Mark Bell Apr 1
I’ve been unfaithful
It was a matter of course
Now the relationship
Has failed he’s
Now filing for divorce.
What step next
I can’t foresee
What shall become of our
Children and me,
I got a sinking feeling
In side my gut
Maybe in hindsight
Should have
kept my legs shut.

Anguish
Mark Bell Mar 31
I dream of your body
Laying next to me,
This cannot happen
Because I’m not free.
This dream I have
Will never come true,
I am always locked up
For killing you.
I was selfish
I shattered our dream,
From my cell I can still
Hear your screams.
But still I dream
That you lay next to me
Im always in anguish
I will never be free.

Memoirs
Mark Bell Mar 31
Memoirs of Brian the snail
A story is attached
Where he left a trail,
Happenings were of the scale
In the life of Brian the snail.
Memoirs were written
Stories did unfold
Of Brian the snail
A killer and cold.
His adversary in his memoirs
He Would plug
Was his nemesis
Freddie the slug,
A trail of destruction
Till Freddie was dead
Brian had done his job
That’s what  his memoirs read..

Pride
Mark Bell Mar 31
There was a
young girl
In my life
We grew up
And fell in love
Wow it was heaven
Wow it was tough.
Everyday was a tussle
But this love ran through
Our disabled muscles,
We grimaced we smiled
We were in for the ride
We handled our disabilities
With grace and pride.

Mr nasty
Mark Bell Mar 29
The cabin in the woods
Where I the crooked man lives
Where Every thing is taken
And no mercy will i give.
Happiness don’t belong
Behind the cabin door.
Just I the crooked man
A bloodstained floor,
So if you like horror
This is the place is  for you
Bring four
friends
if
you need too,
Bring your son
Bring your daughter
More you bring
More I the crooked man
Can slaughter,
No need to knock
Walk straight in
Horror starts when
Your all within.

Fetish
Mark Bell Mar 29
My woman of a
Thousand suns
Have you got a feather
To tickle my ***
My woman of a
Thousand dawns
Have you got the remote
I want to watch ****,

Mummy sad
Mark Bell Mar 28
Tell me mummy
Why are you sad,
Always
Arguing
fighting
With dad.
It’s not fair
On little me
Im your daughter
Im only three.
Daddy mummy
Whom I adore

Start loving
Each other
It’s better for sure.
Me and daddy and
Mummy makes three,
Stop all this bickering,
It really hurts me.

Vixen
Mark Bell Mar 28
You’ve dangled
Your hook
And I did bite,
You enticed
Me in
It felt so right.
Said all the
Words I wanted
To hear
Like I love you
Come warm me dear.
But a sly *****
You became
Was the real you
It’s a crying shame.
Down the garden path
I was surely led,
The ***** had lured
Me to her bed.
Yes I did
for her I dote,
So I sharpened my knife
And cut her throat.
Mar 27 · 44
Soft
Mark Bell Mar 27
I made love
To a butterfly
Sweet as honey
It made me cry .
Mar 27 · 52
Victim
Mark Bell Mar 27
Victim of love
She thieved my gold
My stupid fault
Being blinded and old
I needed somebody
In my life,
Since the death of my
Darling wife.
What was I thinking
I could do my best
Thinking she could
Love me
In me slippers and vest.
Im not chasing my *** of gold
Learnt a lesson on growing old.
Mar 27 · 52
Doctor
Mark Bell Mar 27
I got a little problem doc
Every morning  I have
A regular **** at 8 o’clock
That’s alright said the doc
I said no it isn’t
I don’t wake up to 9 o’clock.
Doc.

My storm
Mark Bell Mar 27
Yesterday is gone
Etched in my heart
Yesterday was yesterday
It was a beautiful start.
Our eyes met across
A crowded room,
We connected like the
Weaver and the loom.
My heart was pounding
Downstairs went warm
I’d had met my perfect storm.
Five years later my
Storm was no more,
She broke my heart
And all of the doors.
She took the whirlwinds
And blew away.
I just hope she comes back
One stormy day.
Mar 26 · 56
They did not care
Mark Bell Mar 26
Kings and queens
Live in castles
Out of the orphanage
Came a ***** rascal.
This orphan he
Had no dreams
It was all about
Murdering this
King and queen,
See the queen was
his mother
She had an affair
The boy was told
Mother and father
We’re dead and
They did not care.
He hatched a plan
They must atone
This orphan rascal
Was heir to the throne.
The plan was a scandal
A fall from grace
The story in the tutorials
Took pride of place.
This orphan boy who
was Destined to be king
Now another chapter begins.

The evil quill
Mark Bell Mar 26
Cold steel cuts
Through my veins
Blood flows out
Relieves the pain.
My eyes roll up
Inside my head
Not long now
I shall be dead.
Was I murdered
Or was it suicide.
This doggerel rhyme
Had committed the crime,
The evil quill
Was top of the bill
My veins were cut
It left a chill.
Mar 26 · 54
In my dreams
Mark Bell Mar 26
You are the explosion
Inside my dreams
A kaleidoscope of
Colours blues
Yellows and greens.
The picture you paint
For the love
from me
Cannot be shown
Don’t you see.
You can’t put
Love inside a frame
Your only in my dreams
Which is quite a shame.
Lovers in dreams
That’s where we shall stay
A kaleidoscope of Colours
For a rainy day.
Mar 25 · 28
The author
Mark Bell Mar 25
The author who wrote
His readers would die
His words were parasites
His sentences bled
Nobody had survived
What they had read.
Still his readers did
Like the thrill,
Opened the covers with
There free will.
The parasites would
Bleed them dry,
Infect there minds
And surely die.
Stories are told
You must take a look
Thousands of people
Have died in books.
Mar 25 · 38
Down again
Mark Bell Mar 25
Falling into the
The deep dark black,
Anxiety high
No light through
My cracks.
On my own
Feel very alone,
Everything creeks
And ****** groans,
Even the cat is having
A moan.
I Don’t need alcohol
I Don’t need love
Im over the abyss
I need a gentle shove.
Oh well life’s a pain
There’s always sun after
The ******* rain.
Mar 24 · 57
Mistake
Mark Bell Mar 24
Every avenue
Blocked and dark,
Flowers are not
Blooming in the park.
Future looks bleak
Full of sorrow
Days of darkness
Are starting tomorrow.
Factions are restless
There upsetting the quo
A shroud of not knowing
As the cold wind blows.
Days and nights fold
Into one
This is the day
War has begun,
Now in the mornings
Around the lake
The flowers in the park
Know they’ve made a mistake.
Mar 24 · 54
Gun
Mark Bell Mar 24
Gun
Solved a problem
It wasn’t wise
I brought a gun
Someone was going
To die
Nobody was listening
I was going insane
So I put a bullet in my brain.
Solved a problem It wasn’t
Wise if you got a gun
Well something dies..
Mar 24 · 51
Dreaming
Mark Bell Mar 24
Dreaming dreams
Of you and me
Cuddling up
Under the apple tree.
Lips upon lips we
Have created a smile
I think we might
Stay here
for a long while.
Tender touches
Finding our way
Is this love
Is this our day.
Bodies entwine
In a loving play.
Mar 24 · 49
In a kiss
Mark Bell Mar 24
When I kiss you
I want to laugh
The feeling you
Give me is like
A silk scarf.
Warm and soft
Tender to touch
The feeling of laughter,
I think
I love you,
Oh so much.
Mar 24 · 337
Don’t let love die
Mark Bell Mar 24
We sit and stare
No conversation
To share,
Drinking slowly
Time going  slow
It’s like being in
An orchard  where
Apples don’t grow.
Closing the highways
Is not our thing
Our songs
had great
Lyrics and
we could sing,
So why our we staring
No talk to share
Let’s get them growing
Them apples and pears.
Mark Bell Mar 24
Im not doing
This tug of war,
It’s upsetting
The children
Thats for sure.
The rope we pull
when it breaks it’s
Going to be a
Hurtful mistake.
Can’t you see it’s
Not all about us.
All our friends
And children
have become
Nonplussed
Please my darling
Don’t shut the doors
Because all it
causes is
These tug
of wars,
Mar 23 · 56
Wonderful nature
Mark Bell Mar 23
Blackbird chirping
For his mate
What he didn’t know
It’s what the foxy ate.
Nature is a blissful place
When other creatures
Can eat your face.
Mar 22 · 39
Sure
Mark Bell Mar 22
A rose will blossom
In the month of June
As sure as the sands
Create the dunes.
The sun will shine
After the pouring rain
sure as the wolf
That howls in
the open plains.
Winter follows autumn
As the trees shed there leaves
As sure as the mouse that
Hunts for the cheese.
Everything living
Must take a breath
As sure as the wanderer
Who must rest.
Mar 21 · 51
My mate dave
Mark Bell Mar 21
There was a man called Dave
A man of not many words
One of his witty sayings was
You can’t polish a ****.
He Liked the smell of money
Told jokes dark and
humorously funny,
In his company
You would dare not to blink
You might have missed him
Trying to Buy you a drink.
He Liked a little flutter
Would gamble on a horse
More than usual lost
it was
Just A matter of course.
Worked as a lineman
They called him BT
Used to mend the phone lines
Yes For you and me,
A man for all seasons
A man for the girls
He will now be sorely missed
Now not in this world.
Mar 21 · 38
Trapped
Mark Bell Mar 21
You’ve cast your line
Put up your sails
The sorceress of doom
With six inch nails.
Will I ever be free
From your flesh eating chains
Trapped in Your
idealism
Thats
Transfixed
my brain.
The only way out
Is sending you back to hell,
Alas I’ll be coming
with you
oh clucking well.
Mar 21 · 45
Tell me a story
Mark Bell Mar 21
Tell me a story
Of truths and lies,
Lots of intrigue
With a web of spies.
Street corners and
Shady dives
Crooks and gangsters
Trying to stay alive.
Information being
Brought and sold
Gangland killings
Leaving victims cold.
Every black suit
Trying to make a buck
Headless chickens
Not giving a cluck.
As night follows day
And all said is done,
Nothing like a cup of tea
And a lovely currant bun.
Mar 20 · 41
End of the road
Mark Bell Mar 20
Uneven pavements
With broken curbs
Moving sluggish
Still undeterred,
Dripping wet
Grimacing with pain
Disturbing thoughts
As I walk through the rain.
Soldiering on
The sun breaks through
Im feeling sick
Since the death of you.
Im walking blindly
Into a wall of sound,
My heartbeat stops
As I hit the ground.
Mar 20 · 58
Once bitten
Mark Bell Mar 20
Enigma of stone
On hallowed land.
In winter the snow
Shall coat,
The wise old owl
Is having a cuddle
With a nice
and friendly stoat.

Hydra and the nymph
Warming their
minds to spring,
The northern lights
Do a dance
As the blackbirds
Begin to sing.

Rays of sunshine
Summer has begun
Hare’s and bluebells
Do a jive
Enigma of stone on
hallowed land as the
Countryside comes alive.

Green turns to brown
As the warm air fades
The onset of winter
draws near,
The stoat turns to the wise
Old owl and says let’s
Get the **** out of here.
Mar 20 · 60
Lucky me
Mark Bell Mar 20
Sweet Marie
Girl of my dreams,
Sadistic *****
Classy obscene.
Dream lover
Dressed to ****,
Nymphomaniac
She loves to thrill.
Cyanide lips
Fantastic *******,
*** on the agenda
Was a daily fest.
I am her medicine
Lucky old me,
Im in her clutches
Never wanting to be free.
Mar 20 · 68
Loss
Mark Bell Mar 20
The chimes of your bell
Never to return
You went to your death
My heart will burn,
Im lost without you
I will have to pray
That our chimes
Can be together
One summer day,
Mar 20 · 126
I once stood tall
Mark Bell Mar 20
Last brick left
When once a wall
Falling down
When once stood tall
A tiled hat
Windows as eyes
Proud as punch
As people passed by,
My family have gone
All turned to dust,
Im the last brick standing
Now die I must.
Mar 20 · 59
Whoops
Mark Bell Mar 20
Strictly come dancing
We came together
My dancing partner
Was a talented *****.
We danced the tango,
then the foxtrot
Then she gave a cough
And one of her legs
fell off.
The whole experience
Did not go to plan
We had to withdraw
From the next dance,
The French can can.
Mar 20 · 68
Curve ball
Mark Bell Mar 20
Nature throws up
A curve ball
Why did she throw
You to me,
Nature throws up
A curve ball
Through my
beer goggles
Now You
are all I see.
You’ve infected
my beer
With the taste of love
Natures curve ball
Was tossed from
Heaven above.
This curve ball
needed to be caught,
So down the road
Of rehabilitation
Every step I fought.
No more beer googles
No hazy nights
Who was this curve ball
Who brought me back
To the light.
There was a twist I
will not share
With this curve ball
I do not care.

Teenage dreams
Mark Bell Mar 20
Teenage dreams
Emotions awry
Angst in abundance,
Tears we cry.
Am I a woman
Or still a girl my
Teenage dreams
Are like a clammed
Up pearl.
Can’t sought out
This from that
Can’t decide
What side to bat.
Avenues no safety net
Open the door see
what you get
Teenage dreams
A minefield of good
Always fearful
And misunderstood.
