Separating
Mark Bell May 2017
Flabbergasted
Befuddle
One congealed mess
This was me when
Your love became less,
Shocked and confused
i had done nothing wrong
You just can't change
words in our beautiful song.
broken of heart and
Empty of pleasure
memories of you
I will always treasure.
204 · Nov 2019
Love oh well
Mark Bell Nov 2019
To love is to sing in lovers meadows
To love is to burn,to love is to bury
To love is to bleed in lovers eyes
And then ditch them.

Time should not be wasted
Mark Bell Jun 2020
Tick tock tick tock
Time is at a low
Tick tock tick tock
Where shall we all go.

Heaven will not except this
It can feel all the angry hate
Heaven is this natural world
Stop before its to late.

We are just passengers
Stuck in a hateful time
this world will eradicate us
Like it has done in the past.

Tick tock tick tock
Time will always decide
tick tock tick tock
When two worlds wish to collide.

Fly the flag of hypocrisy
Dance to the establishment tune
Fly the flag of madness
As the cow jumped over the moon.

Tragedy
Mark Bell Dec 2024
Me and my cat
Have fallen out.
I am old she is
Frail I seemed
To have stood
Upon her tail.

No cuddles for me
Just a look of
Distain
I’m out on my ear
I hope it don’t rain

She will come round
In a day or two
I’ll give her treats
What can you do

Seventeen this
Dotty old cat
Will she forgive me
For doing that.

Haven't got a clue
Mark Bell Sep 2017
Why do humans
Want to destroy their land
This world owes you nothing
Don't you understand
Billions on billions
educating our brain
Greed for money
it's all ****** insane
catch a bus shaped like a *****
Fill it up take a drive to Venus
Look what we our doing
To this fertile land
We must all be aliens
And we don't understand.
Aliens infecting,the sky is blue
grass is still growing
We haven't a clue.
202 · May 2018
Unsure
Mark Bell May 2018
I question good
I question bad
I'm very good
Then very sad
Thoughts of love
Thoughts of hate
Always uneasy
An unopened gate
l need a woman
To crack this nut
I'm the nearly man
Singing but but but
A ****** I be sitting
On a unbuilt wall
Smiling happily
waiting .

She had the look
Mark Bell May 31
She’s got the look
The image just right,
She’s got the look
Intelligent so bright.
She’s got the look
Heart of gold
She’s got the look
Always hot never cold
She’s got the look
Bucketfuls of humour
She had the look
She died of a
brain tumour
201 · Sep 2018
Poor me
Mark Bell Sep 2018
Give me the pills
To fight my ills
Poor psychotic me.
Never free from a violent mind
Who am l ? Never to be kind
Poor psychotic me.
North and south
Fight to become my mouth
My brain on a runaway train
who am I? Psychotic me
With a well befuddled brain.
i wish I wish I didn,t have to repeat
My mind has suddenly gone blank
Who am I ? Who am I ?
I!m a goldfish in a disappearing tank

Not good at this
Mark Bell Oct 2017
I don't understand poetry
I'm an uneducated ****
I'm a liar a story teller
But I'm no good at that
Words are misinterpretated
I'm lucky I could smell
**** all the grammar
You can never well tell
Mark Bell May 2017
Strategic bombs to
Nuts and bolts,do
We really care because
It's not my fault.
Our homeland has become
A vase for flowers
When faced with adversity
We must not cower.
Politicians using disasters
For political gain
While mothers and fathers
Grieve with pain
A cancer grows in bombs
And prose around the corner
Nobody knows

Lies and truths
Mark Bell May 2017
Tsunami tsunami
Eating ripples on the pond,
Tangle me in a web of feathers
no more bullets do I listen.
Tsunamies,ripples dance north and south
Where am I going my Lovely.
199 · Nov 2018
Feeling of not being open
Mark Bell Nov 2018
A heart without love
Space without stars
an unused womb
It's a lonely place.

Unspoken words
An unwritten tune
A melody without a stave
Who am I to walk alone
Slowly to my grave.

Withering away
Closing of mind
Sadness of the dark
I am the lonely place
199 · Oct 2017
Lips
Mark Bell Oct 2017
Lips of my woman
Rainbow colours
Sweet as the sun

Anybody no what day it is
Who is my lady of fun?

June or July
A Lovelly pair
women of virtue
I did not care

Help me nurse
Your tunic so white
Kiss me sweetheart
So I can sleep tonight
198 · Sep 2017
My dad
Mark Bell Sep 2017
When I was a child
I had many a thought
Never listen to my father
He was wrongly taught.
His values were wrong
Was society to blame
He hated me because I
Played a different game.
Rules are rules an inflexible being
Couldn't see passed his nose
To grasp what I was seeing.
The gate was shut
he had been through hell
His mental health effected me as well
He took his shallowness to the grave
I never got to know my father
His name was Dave .
198 · May 2017
Standing tall
Mark Bell May 2017
One brick left
When once a wall,
Fallen from sight
When once So tall.
a tiled hat
Windows as eyes,
Proud I was
As people passed by.
My family around me
All grounded to dust
Lonely as I,now die I must.

Early selfie
Mark Bell Apr 2017
I'm starting to evolve
I'm just a minuscule *****
So I took a selfie
Whom Facebook will confirm
197 · Nov 2019
Afraid of oneself
Mark Bell Nov 2019
Crawling out from under my stone
10,000 years I've been there,have I?
My prey is that I want to eat myself
So I can become something I'm not.

Devil ,God and the deep blue sea
Everybody seems to want a part of me.

I have no mirrors, there evil.
197 · Apr 2017
Verse number one
Mark Bell Apr 2017
I got an idea,see you what you think
Let's paint the world a bright shade of pink
Let's start a World Wide Web,paint campaign
We could even brighten up,all the ****** rain.
Make a long ladder to paint the frosty moon
Paint all the animals,pink elephants and baboons
Taking it to another level we will paint the seas
Paint Mount Everest and the Arctic freeze.

Please can somebody write verse number two
Then pass it on thank you
196 · Oct 2017
Fake or is it news
Mark Bell Oct 2017
Everything is black
But oh so jolly
Even made thee arc lady
Into a charred ice lolly.
Winnie the poo
Was a Russian spy
Everything so interesting
all truths are not lies.
Elvis still lives
On a red bus on the moon
all guns in America being
Banned quite soon.
living on Mars
As the ice age recedes
No more news please please please.
The church and the blue blood
Have run the masses by fear
news is news year after year
Who do we believe
The newscaster in straight jacket
Or the puppeteer
Whose killing who
With a bright pink smear.
We must all believe in the written word
The books tell stories it's all made up news.
195 · Apr 2017
Ink less
Mark Bell Apr 2017
A punishment was handed out today
For the crime of slander I have to say
My pen had kicked up an awful stink
So the judges sentenced Me to life without ink
My pen had written,stories wildly untrue
sold to the newspapers who hadn't a clue
My poor old pen retired,no more stories to tell
A typewriter wouldn't be profitable from a prison cell
195 · Oct 2018
Hatred
Mark Bell Oct 2018
Naked humans cannot hate
It's symbols and clothes
Determine our fate
They say it's good to belong
This is why humans
Have got it all wrong.
The whole wide world should
Be one big nudist camp,
Everybody the same
Blood is blood
Is hatred natural or just
Mis-understood.
194 · Aug 4
Sad
Mark Bell Aug 4
Sad
So many
heartaches
In the world
Are we compatible
Boys and girls.
Love is like
A ring of fire
Rights and wrongs
Attached to desire.
I really don’t get it
That’s why I’m alone,
I definitely ain’t
A rolling stone.
On my grave stone
My epitaph will say
An unopened heart
Didn’t come out to play.
194 · Apr 2017
Killing of a car
Mark Bell Apr 2017
Drunk driver killed me the car
My Engine faded away
I cannot enjoy the traffic
No more can I come out to play.
No more can I enjoy the speed,
A fool sat behind my wheel
Now I'm just a piece of scrap
It's not the proper way to feel.
193 · Sep 2017
Wipeout
Mark Bell Sep 2017
Sitting on the Evil wall
Debating with myself
Shall I give good a call.
Communication a wipeout,
A septic flaw,
How can one love?
When you can't be sure.
I sit on the wall
With a wide arsed grin
Demons with Sabres  start
to be riotous within,
all I have to do is to make the call
Yet its another wipeout
193 · May 2017
Rhyming humour
Mark Bell May 2017
You guys write
Creative right.
But where is all the funny,
Did sense of humour really die
Or does it not make any money.
Stories in poetic land
With little twist and turn
In every writers arsenal
Writing humour we must learn
192 · May 2017
War cemetry
Mark Bell May 2017
Affected by rows of many crosses
Casualties of war,so many losses
Walking for miles,names on wood
are warring factions ever understood
Unknown soldiers on Memorials of stone
I walk among the dead never to be alone
Not really understanding there sacrifice
warring factions, must pay the price.

A day to remember
Mark Bell Jan 23
Down on
the farm
A farmers
daughter lay
I lie
beside her
In the
warming hay.
Well I got
to tell you
That was
the beginning
Of one hell
of a day.
There was
me just
A  little
shy
Didn’t
ask any
Questions
There wasn’t
any why
From this
young lad
A non ****** I.
191 · Sep 2018
Just wasting time
Mark Bell Sep 2018
Wave of euphoria
Swept across my brain
Why was I happy?
When I'm going insane.
They feed me pills
For my mental ills
Yippeeee,!
Solitary confinement
Stuck,nowhere to go
the light bulb is dimming
Now that is a blow.
The Dolphins blow kisses
As the sparrows drink wine
Then darkness creeps forward
It's just a matter of time.
191 · Oct 2017
Philosophy on life
Mark Bell Oct 2017
I'm an organism
In a big pile of ****
There's no golden ticket
So I get on with it
Institutions rotten
All To the core
Black or white
Oh it's such a bore
We eat
We ****
We breathe
We die
Under the sun
We shall all cry
Hey mr black man
Hey Mr white
We're all just germs
in a big pile of *****
Hey **
Mark Bell Apr 2017
It's that politician time
They want your single vote
Blues have got mummy Teresa
The reds have a billy goat.
Somebody has to rule us
keeping democracy well alive
I don't care whos in charge
As long as this country thrives.
tax all the tax dodgers more
Streamline the national health
Shoot all those crooked bankers
Who tried to loose our wealth.
we need all types of people
On this sacred land of ours
So three cheers for Great Britain
And I'm of ,drinking at the bar
189 · Apr 2017
Returning
Mark Bell Apr 2017
Smiling back up the beaten track
It wasn't courage in which I lack
I never stayed to face my dark fears
This dread I carried for many a year
So as I progressed back to my destination
I had to have a drink at a watering station
I downed at least six pints of refreshing cider
It seemed pretty silly to have ran from a spider
189 · Apr 2017
Twist
Mark Bell Apr 2017
Fishing on the bank
Of the river side
With my line and bait
An incident happened
A cruel twist of fate
I began to flounder
And promptly fell asleep
This is the quirky bit
I had hooked two sheep
It was quite unusual
This peculiar weird dream
See spookily I had died
And been swept down stream
Fishing by the riverside
With my line and bait
My life was taken,cut short
In a cruel twist of fate.
188 · May 2017
Love dies
Mark Bell May 2017
I burn
I learn
I turn
Love and hate collide
I burn
I learn
I turn
Now you have left my side
I burn
I learn
I turn
Finally Love for you has died
188 · May 2017
Slavery
Mark Bell May 2017
Work work
Cradle to grave
Mortgage
Imprisoned
Who's the slave
Slaves for money
And a slice of bread
All for what
You end up dead.
time on earth is only lent
breathing is so better spent
dance yourself through the living flame
Slaves to our address its a crying shame..
188 · Oct 2018
My friend Jane
Mark Bell Oct 2018
i want to be good
But that's not me
I'm terribly bad
And I do so agree.
Internal ramblings
In my twisted brain
Abyss of darkness
Where I met Jane.
Dear dear Jane
My manipulative friend
You tangled me in your web
Dear dear Jane
My psychopath friend
We shall dance till we are dead.

The end

Nomad

Being the last of a species
A nomad,aimless in time

Me me look at me
Mark Bell Sep 2017
Narcacistic fruit cake
Ingredients one ****** flaw
dancing to the tune of the mirror
While my Life is such a bore.
Mixing me with me me me
A fruit cake of wonderful taste
Dancing to the tune of one
While my  life is such a waste.
Mirror mirror on the wall
Why aren't you looking at I
This recipe for disaster
will make my whole life cry.
my name upon the masons stone
Read, here lays  Adonis me
they buried me with my
Golden mirror,for all of eternity

The lone ******
Needs a shoulder
Cryptic is the love
Memory is in the target
Death of the poetic dove
185 · Sep 2017
Imagination a wonder
Mark Bell Sep 2017
Books are written by story tellers
Fact is not always true
Interpretation manipulation
It's all left down to you
Books are written by evil
Books are written by good
why after reading
The reader is not understood.
Propaganda messages
Mixing half truths with lies
Problem with humans
We need some where to hide
185 · May 2017
Mornings
Mark Bell May 2017
Waves crash on concrete Walls
Promenade walkers
Wearing colourful shawls.
Salt on the breeze
The smell of the sea
The Waves are dancing
For all to see.
Cyclists riding while joggers run,
Promenade walkers
embracing the sun.

Feeding time
Mark Bell Apr 2017
Talon of the hawk
Swoop dinner dead
Poor  sweet bunny
Off Spring must be fed

Hand of the human
Shop dinner frozen
Poor sweet chicken,
Sold by the dozen

Feeling sad
Mark Bell Sep 2018
Poor old me my poetry is crap
In life it's zilch,I can deal with that.
With every word with every breath
Poetry is poetry, death is death.

Seasons
Mark Bell Apr 2018
Thee enigma of stone
On our hallow land
The ****** snow shall coat,
Ptarmigan and the wise old owl
cuddling to stay afloat.
Hydra the nymph and the dragonfly
Warming their minds for spring
While The northern lights do a dance
And the nightingale begins to sing
Rays of the sun,summer has begun
hares and the bluebells do jive
Thee enigma of stone on our hallowed land
As everything seems to come alive.
Green turns to brown as the warm air fades
Thee onset of winter draws near
Ptarmigan and the wise old owl say **** not again.
183 · May 2017

Thoughts betray us
Mark Bell Feb 2018
Thoughts that make me
May be right or wrong
Who is to judge ?
life to me is one mistake
A rotting egg.
Oh **** a gene pool of fools
An idiot without bucket.
I've won the lottery
One hundred million
who,s going to water the plants.
A ticking time bomb
Need to return to the womb
Life seems ridiculous
On the rope I do dangle.
183 · May 2017
Who is it
Mark Bell May 2017
Tinker,tailor,soldier spy
One of these work for thee FBI.
four jolly bed fellows
Twists and turns,
Three of these have to
Jolly well burn.
Who are the baddies
Working for the KGB
work it out
Send the codes to me
Take them out
In your own time
You have clearance
We're cover up the crime

Twenty four hour crap
Mark Bell Aug 2017
Twenty four hour news
It's a continual ****
***** me up
I'm wallowing in it
Killings, disasters
Everything's a con
It's making me feel good
I'm mentally wrong
I like ***** washing
I have thee ability to clean,
No horrible news
Then that would be obscene.
The world is square
spinning around on a smear
I adhere to propaganda
It's so  exciting to fear
I turn on television to get my thrill
Anticipating nervously for another ****
A sunken ship a raging fire
Give me,give me I thrive on a liar.
I am still having a twenty four hour ****
It doesn't matter I'm wallowing in it
183 · Aug 2018
Who made who
Mark Bell Aug 2018
Who made who

So who did.?
God for bid it was not him
If it was, life would be grim

We **** we die
Oh we do!
depressing depressing
Good god my minds *******
Who made who
In this world of stew
It wasn't me, see
So give us a clue please do.

Im not letting her in
Mark Bell Feb 24
Created a world
just for me
Not for you
don’t you see,
Not letting you in
Your a parasite,
Your so twisted
Your just not right,
I know your beautiful
So voluptuous in red
But if I let you in
I will wind up dead.
Go away and
Leave me be
You are a beauty
But not for me,
Your to infectious
This is not your day
Im taking the pills
Now stay away.

Icicles forming
Inside a flame
Hotel cyanide is

Blackened Windows
Wooden boxes
No tomorrow's paper

Enjoy your stay
Flame will burn

Accomadating
Making demise
Capsulating fun
