Staring at the ceiling.

The ***** crack.

No sleep.

Feeling numb.

Arm outstretched.

Rip.
A friend.
Robert J Howard Jul 2023
Stop
Take your time
Think,
Don't bother
Just close your eyes.
-
Open your mouth
Switch off
Lean back
**** the World
And just breathe.
Life is short
Robert J Howard Aug 2020
The dark is my favourite friend,
It welcomes me with open arms,
Every night he comes,
Forever bearing gifts.

One night after the other,
Who am I to refuse,
For I am alone,
And he is always on time.

I may not sleep,
But it does not matter,
For I have company,
My reliable companion.

And before I finally sleep,
And the light of enemy appears,
I bid farewell,
Until our next wanted meeting.
Robert J Howard Sep 2018
Ifs & whys
Buts & sighs
Time flies
Always denies.

Lows & highs
Ambition dies
No-one tries
Shut eyes.

Come rise
Never apologise
Open surprise
No compromise.

Obvious lies
No disguise
Grow wise
Now realise.
Just do it.
Robert J Howard Sep 2018
This Is It.
Him.
Alone.
One.
Just.
No *******.
Lemmy.

A fleeting glance
An unwanted advance
A broken romance
A blurred trance
A taken chance
One last dance.
What you make of it.
Robert J Howard Nov 2017
Fight for money
Poison and honey
Ain't nothing funny
Rarely turns sunny.

Hard to tan
Race is ran
In the can
**** the man.

Numb at hand
Short of sand
Drain the land
Start your band.

Laying in bed
Empty of lead
Best left unsaid
Before we're dead.
