Paradise
Mark Bell Feb 24
The promise land is calling
But I can’t help falling
The land of beauty
The land of hope
Im high on sunshine
So why am I swinging
From the end of this rope.
A spinning world
I need to depart
The promise land is calling
Is death really a new start.
Is there life after death
Im not sure
I don’t care
Paradise is freedom
from to much despair.

Scammed
Mark Bell Dec 2024
Sitting on your
Golden throne
Silver spoon
In mouth,
What are you
Going to do
With All that
Wealth.
It’s not for
Me to say
Could you give
It all away,
Times is running
Out for you
Sell your soul
To me
It will cost
You all your
Wealth to
Live for
Eternity

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.

Be good
Mark Bell Jan 20
Shadows
returning
They cannot
Turn
Shadows of the
Devil
Forever they
Burn
They march
To hell
No liberty
Bell.
They did
their deed
On the living
They feed
The devils shadows
They shall not bleed.
Being good
Do not cower
The shadows
Of the devil
Cannot devour.

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.

Seasonal colds
Mark Bell Dec 2024
Ring a ring
Of roses
We fall down,
The butcher
The baker
The candlestick
Maker
Even the
Perverted
Clown.

Have a vaccination
It’s seems to be the
Way
When really there
Is no cure
It’s out there
To boost
Their pay.

Cold Vaccinations
Pill poppers
Are they really
Death stoppers.

The Christmas jumper
Mark Bell Dec 2024
All year been
Rather sad
Not been good
Feeling bad.
Been couped up
All year long
This year  I feel there's
Something wrong.
Moths have been
Picking at  my brains.

Going insane
This year doing
something
Different
Whoops Im under a train.

Stuck inside a mobile
Mark Bell Jan 25
Lots of numbers
Lots of speech
Gone to places
Where most
Can’t reach
Pictures in
My memory
Im at the
Bottom of
The sea
Coup up inside
A pocket
Never feeling free.
I know that
You don’t care
Because our secrets
You do share.
In my shell
It’s just all a drone
Being your
mobile phone.

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.

Will not part
Mark Bell Nov 2024
Tsunami wave
Harmonic emotion
Volcanic eruption
Melodic devotion
Hurricane wind
Symphonic heart
Northern lights
We will not part.
Mark Bell May 12
Look me dear
I don’t give a ****
Our lives together
Has been one big sham.
You started the lies
When you said I do
You slept with me
Then the vicar too.
I knew of your hurtful
Wicked ways
I too slept with her
And I still do today.

Doctor who
A man of note
Had a Tardis
Shaped like a goat.
Went to the future
Went to the past
Went to Glastonbury
And had a blast.
Doctor who
Who could contort time
Liked to party on
Lager and lime.
Aliens like you

We’re his

And his cup of tea.
I don’t know what I’m
Writing
Im in a sinking boat
I will get my mate god
To get my hat and goat.

To live under
a communist sun.
Joe Biden  leaving
His house of white
Red necks moving in
Will turn into a fight.
Oh dear.

Stories
Mark Bell May 27
We tell each other stories
About our past glories
Some are heroic
Some stupidly inane
Some are about love
suffering and pain.
We tell each other
Lots of truths
and plenty of lies
Some make us laugh
Some make us cry,
Some hit a nerve
And then you ask why.
Stories make us smile
Some stories make you weep
If there not interesting
You can always fall to sleep.

Simple twist of fate
Mark Bell Feb 19
On the cusp
of greatness
Then a twist
Of fate,
I really can’t
Recall the
Time or the date.
I should have
Turned left
But I turned right
Thats when I was
Hit buy a shining
Bright light.
When I woke up
Laying on the
Hospital bed
I had nobody
Just a ****** head
What sort of life
Will I have?

Said it’s your call
Look on the bright side
You’ll make a good

Failed
Mark Bell Dec 2024
Looking at you
With reddish eyes
Emotions burnt
Inside have died.
All you have left
Me
is hurtful tears
Heartbroken and
Chards of fear.
You trampled over
All our dreams
Blood in my veins
Became a polluted
Stream
Heartbroken
Lost my zest
I gave love a chance
And failed the test.

Don’t lose control
Mark Bell Apr 18
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.

Fallen leaves
Mark Bell Feb 18
Travelling the path
Of dying embers
Memories faded
Diluted and gone
No more
grasp on life
withering
Away and done.
There’s only me
From my family tree
Leaves are sadly
Departed
Still I travel down
This path well
Not to
downhearted.
Still I keep on
Breathing
Taking in the air
I know when it’s
Time to go
When I reach the
Bottom of the stairs.

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.

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.

Sitting on the balcony
Soaking up the sun
Smoking
drinking,
Chatting

She Popped
some pills
She gave a cough
Then my girlfriend
Decided to jump off.
Sitting on the balcony
Was soaking up the sun
Why did she do it?
Spoil all our fun.
Mark Bell Jan 9
You got me doing
What you want
me to do.
Im inept
Gullible I haven’t
a clue
You got me going up
You got me going down
Im your puppet
A manipulated clown.
Im your umbrella
In the pouring rain
Im caught in your
Insanity I do not complain
I’ve got loads of money
She’s the happiness trap
Im the toilet paper when she
Needs a crap.
I need her
I love her
With true grit
But most of all
I stay with her
Because
She’s
Got *******.
In the end I will
Have the last laugh
I am Drowning  the *****
In an acid bath.

The lone wolf
Mark Bell Feb 7
Nature screams at me
Wild as the wolf
Trees having
Panic attacks
Nature screams at me

Earth wind and fire
Nature screams at me
Streams and rivers boil
Blood flows through
purple meadows
Nature screams at me.

The sun takes a swim
In the ocean
The wolf howls
At the moon
Nature screams at me
Death will come
To me soon.

Sweet
Mark Bell Dec 2024
We crossed
The stream
On stepping
Stones
To a peaceful
Place
To be alone.
We sat under
Shaded tree
That’s where
We had our
First kiss
You and me.
Scented you were
The sun did shine
We etched our names
In the tree of time.
Mark Bell Feb 25
There’s a place
On top of the hill
Where they prescribe me
My happy pill,
Through revolving doors
And up the stairs
All those drugs
They like to share,
I need my dose
I need my pill
In that place
On top of the hill.
Men in white coats
Are keeping me afloat
All I am is a sinking boat.
Waters aren’t calm
A wall short of a brick
That place on the hill
We give me my fix.
I know I have
my scarred flaws
Everything goes away
Through those revolving doors.

The band
Mark Bell Feb 18
Me and my mates
We formed a band
Wrote some songs
And toured the land.
Songs were so so
The music was loud
Night by night
We got bigger crowds.
Went to far out places
Blew our  audiences away
We got tighter day by day.
Song after song
it did not stop
Even said no to
Top of the pops.
On TV having to mime
Always had been a
Musical crime.
Old grey whistle test
Wanted us on the show
So me and my mates
Gave it a go.
On that Saturday
We did arrive
To play our songs
On stage live
Bob Harris remembers
That day
when we
Blew the
BBC away.
Ups and downs
We took on the chin
Because we were - - -   - - - - - - -.

Sad goodbye
Mark Bell May 9
Every day is
So full of sorrow
I pray to whom ever
I don’t wake up tomorrow
Then in the morning
I do wake
There is no justice
Just cyanide cake.
Why am I writing
Such doom and gloom,
It’s the mood Im in
A slightly odd loon.
Please forgive me
I’ve left a note
It reads goodbye
To my poetic followers
I’ve cut my throat
Whoops.

Pirate Jack
Mark Bell Jan 24
Hi you mateys
I am pirate Jack
I like to steal
Then put
things back,
My shipmates
Whom I hold
Dear thought
It was a great idea.
Nick an old television
Replace it with new
Helping people
Who are not
Well to do.
With all the old
Old televisions
Me and me crew
Would replace old
And nick the new.
Especially from
the well to do.
Hi you mateys
From my prison cell
As you know things
Didn’t go well
See I’m still pirate Jack
Give me two years
And I’ll be back.
Mark Bell Dec 2024
Climb the highest
Mountain
Swam seven seas,
Surfed volcanic lava
Endured deep freeze.
Cycled million miles
To see you smile
Trawled outer space
To set eyes on your face.
I would do anything
For love so stop your
Complaining
I can’t come over
It’s ******* raining.

Challenge
Mark Bell Jan 24
A man and his dog
Came into the pub
for
A Pint
of beer
And a bit
of grub.
After his meal
gave his mouth a wipe
Told the locals that
His dog wasn’t the
Obedient type.
If anyone here
Can make my dog
To adhere
you
win 50 pounds
and
A keg of beer.
The challenge
a cost you a pound
And a pint of beer
All the locals tried
The dog would
not adhere,
Saturday night
A man came in
Looking gaunt
Rather thin
Took up the challenge
With voice so soft
Picked up the
Unsuspecting dog
Threw it on the fire
And said now get off.
The man won his fifty
And his keg of beer
The dog got away
with just
a burnt ear
Man getting drunk
giving it large,
Lucky the dog
named lucky
Dropped the cruelty charge.

In the ancient mariner
Who killed floss.
Flossy was the albatross.
What happened to Fred
The wheelbarrow of red
Did he end up like flossy
****** well dead.
What happened to my shadow
Whom jumped into my bed
I don’t know what happened
To it
I shall fear to tread.
What happened to the jabberwocky
Once a fearsome beast
Must have gone with a happy thought
Kept warm by Jason’s fleece
What happened to that lonely cloud
In the skies for the fallen
Turned into fire and ice
Next to the tree of poison.

This love island

Because I’m a ******
