Loosen these chains that bind me
unravel my furrowed brow
soothe this soul with silence
show me fields that I must plough

darkness is the demon
knowing is the light
bless me with contentment
save me from my plight

I'm forever, sitting, waiting
always switching lanes
yet, deep inside my psyche
I've surrended to the chains

"So, you posted any poems on Hello Poetry?"

"I did,yeah, but it's all messed up again."

"Dear Lord. Again? You gonna hang around?"

"Kind of pointless. I can't locate poets I follow or scroll through the latest poems. I think I'll have to give it a miss for a while and check in some time in the future."

"What you gonna do in the meantime.?"

"I thought about maybe leaving the house."

" What!? And forfeit a whole day hunched over your phone? Man, you crazy."

"Hmmm...I must think about this."
Had enough of this, I'm off. I'll check back sometime in the future

Politics
"Alright, alright, calm down."

"It's not the fact that she blew me off. It's the fact
I have no idea why."

"Did you do anything different last week?"

"Well, not really. I had a normal week apart from on Tuesday
she caught me watching Keir Starmer giving
a speech in parliament."

"Who did she vote for?"

"Oh, Nigel Farage's lot."

"I see."

"You think she's a racist?"

"No, I think you need to be more careful."

Colours of the rainbow
As I pick a buttercup
I place it beneath my chin
yellow becomes part of me
as happiness seeps in

I think of those times lying on the green
staring at clouds above
memories pass like raindrops fall
was this the awakening of love?

back then all I knew was the colour black
it still sits with me to this day
blinded by arrows enriched with pain
will the rainbow ever sway?

facetious worlds torment my soul
unelected pawns of doom
surrendering to 3D lies
circumvented within my gloom

yet, life has blessed me with insight
I do not play it's wicked game
I walk alone along my sacred path
exonerated from self blame

I know another; she is by my side
another tortured yet independent soul
my love for her will never die
for we share the same end goal

"Hello, there."

"Whatcha ****. How's it hanging?"

"A bit to the left."

"I prefer it pointing north."

"Nice. Ere, do ya fancy a roll in the hay?"

"Yea why not? I'm wet as an otter's pocket."

"Smashing. Can I check out ya baps?"

"There you go. What do you reckon?"

"I reckon breast is best."

"You saucy charmer. Let's go indoors and stain the kitchen table."

"And this..is why I married you."
