Paul Hardwick: Poems

Paul Hardwick Oct 2015

My garden hurts me
as walk among the roses
they grab at my flesh
to rip off my bones
but soon is halloween
and from the garden the roses will run
never to return till the sun shines bright
the weak always wins.

Naked Robot of Time.

Paul Hardwick Jan 2017

Naked Robot of Time.

Who am I
What is this about
is it me
is it you
I breathe like
at this moment in time you
do you breathe like me to
did you feel that
Do you feel the man in me
in you
no!

I am salesman
sales is all I do

Here to sell to you
this is what I am about

I am a super salesman
Sell yourself

to me
You want love
and make pay for buttons and bows
Moonlight in the evening
money goes to the rich
all failings stop here!

LOVE P@ul.

Love you ***.

Never will get a handle on this.

Paul Hardwick Sep 2015

Never will get a handle on this.

My grandkids can do all this
e-mails with me just fly all about
to where landings unknown
they pop right in
pop right out
them e-mails
sure pop about
one good thing
no stamp
I wonder where
that last one has gone
o what the hell
sure time
will tell
but never will
get a handle on this.

Yep more Skull Candy :-)' P@ul number 7 hundred and forty two.

Paul Hardwick Mar 2013

What do men think?

I got my girl an apple

I brought my girl a car
and she can hang her self for that is going to far tonight

Have you seen the stars tonight.

Paul Hardwick Feb 2013

Have you seen the stars tonight.

Have you seen the stars to night
would you like to go upon a deck and look at them with me
don't you know we are free
and we can look at them
and know we are free
and looking at that family of stars
just you and me and the stars
                                                          what are you going to do
                                                          when you feel your woman rollin
                                                          and all the years gone from your age
                                                          and life is there before you
                                                          In the stars in 2 months the ship will be ours
                                                          and you have to go with it
so come on, on a ride
                                                          on my starship past Mars,

I have stopped this writing here, for tonight I do not know where it will go.
Love and Best Wishes a hippy called Paul.

See my face.

Paul Hardwick Mar 2015

See my face.

See my face
as it's smiles

Look into my eyes
for they tell all
I am alive inside
I have no fears at all
just glad to be me
as you are you

So see my face.

that woman tell her
it is better by you than me
better by you than it is better by me
better to find
than today.

If you like this let me know.

Up side Down?

Paul Hardwick Apr 2015

Up side Down?

Up side Down
my my mind is up side down
within my head
nothing more is clear to me
I know,
I love feel and hate
but nothing else
why mother
have you gone
and left me all alone
in this a world
I really do not understand
Mother dear where have you gone
left me alone like this
mother you know
you filled me with love
and happyness
mother
where have you gone
for you mean so much to me
and others to?

B A D Dream.

Paul Hardwick Jun 2015

B A D Dream.

Please DO tell me so
why are dreams bad and fk with my mind

They tell me things
that are just not there
not in my world of reality
mostly bring me down, never up
tell me things that are just lies
sometimes take close to a *******
almost there, hit me with a nail in my face
blood flowing, that morphes, into the ex
FK these dreams and the ex
never getting me one of them again
she has mest with my mind.

Talking, Take Away.

I was talkin to John
whom spoke in not so many words
of all the things he had done

Burt slipped in
and with a grin
talked of mental things
things that I do not know were to begin to
take of.

Just this morning.

February.

You are not a whole month

you take your all
away from the wallet of my heart
you must pay this, pay that
how you make my heart bleed
so now
February I don't like you
and what you do to me, at all
and all the court costs
come in March
so P@ul

the rest of year now
and repair the

Nomad in Germany.

There is no reason why
there is no light at night
and all we wait for is morning
that will come whit out warning
nothing seams right
everybody is looking back
the world is calling
everybody is looking back
as the wind of change
comes wisperring by
life's here
hang on
don't ever go
I know
no place
in the sun
and all this
will turn your mind
if your mind
blows easy
so sunshine help me
colour pictures
hang on the wall
of things that are in your dreams.

True Story and thank you Germany.

Skull Candy

Skull Candy

Today I did think
while flushing my head
that there might be a series of words
that a human could think
that when thought of
would change everything
for all those that there read
and indeed
the person that thought it.

Hate London.

Paul Hardwick Jan 2018

Hate London.

Going down the tube
you do it for it's fast
I'd like to be the last
it is not because I am old
is just me I'm fast
and my surrealistic mind
clean and real
and Solihull Rock
through and through
Birmingham in my heart
and all of my kind
we speak like we do, OK!

Does not mean that we are slow
for we make cars
as fast as you wish to go
motorsports
our cars just don't do ovals
over and over again
with banked corners
we can do on the street
mostly flat
and by the way, tunnels take you to the dark side.

Love P@ul.

Once was, and once is nothing at all.

Paul Hardwick Oct 2013

Once was, and once is nothing at all.

Happy people make there way each day
it is there, I loose my way
within my mind of thought
did I do this that
or do nothing at all
was I large or small
did I care at all
did I do thAT.

IT WAS AT THAT I FALL,
in the white sAND I now call home
that i now
is not me, person from this world
that feels like
an atomic bomb due to go off.

People.

Paul Hardwick Oct 2017

People.

People take selfies
and pictures of one another
just in case they missed it the first time they saw it
all stored in their phones
which hardly ever leaves their handi's
only to see the image they saw
is not right
that is not how I remember it
you had to be there
you would have seen it
the joke is on you
now the world is not the same
nor are you
Think I have a filter for that.

I love people, do you do?

I am here before, there for I am
trying to to be more than I was before
I am maybe not!
did win a B.A. Hons Degree
but tried hard
Run for the hills
hold the the children
for the first time
for they are the next you
wish that is true
but it not
but they do smell nice
Mostly hate you
they are like
the good bad
you never know what you get

to be more than you

more than you

ok that is good

but you thought

the birth hard

this is the question?
