Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore —
No doubt you have heard the name before —
Was a boy who never would shut a door!

The wind might whistle, the wind might roar,
And teeth be aching and throats be sore,
But still he never would shut the door.

His father would beg, his mother implore,
'Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore,
We really do wish you would shut the door!'

Their hands they wrung, their hair they tore;
But Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore
Was deaf as the buoy out at the Nore.

When he walked forth the folks would roar,
'Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore,
Why don't you think to shut the door?'

They rigged up a Shutter with sail and oar,
And threatened to pack off Gustavus Gore
On a voyage of penance to Singapore.

But he begged for mercy and said, 'No more!
Pray do not send me to Singapore
On a Shutter, and then I will shut the door!'

'You will?' said his parents; 'then keep on shore!
But mind you do! For the plague is sore
Of a fellow that never will shut the door,
Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore!'
It is one of the poems we read as children in English readers, and repeat many times in spare times. "Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore" sounded funny to us at that time. Just remembering it :D

The rhyme scheme is the stand out point of it

Have you ever been hit by a car
Or a bullet through your heart
I can assure you
Both will leave a big scar

You wouldn't wish this pain upon someone
You would be to scared to wish them gone

But nore would inflict such a strong pain
Would you?
Because here I am writing a poem again
One about hurt, loss, lust and emotions

This feeling never dies
Along with all your lies.
Mollie B May 2013
once i punched myself in the face
so that i would have a bruise,
because i think bruises are
nice and maybe a little badass,
but then i realized
as people asked me what
hurt me
that i was neither nice nore
a little badass.
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2016
I've learned more from pain than joy.
My mind and heart in battle to a void of
grim thoughts.
If things were meant to be like this and just let go
or if i really want something i should
fight for it.
Both at a different point of view
right and wrong at the same time.
I can not know how deep i am wounded
nore if i'll ever heal for my pain is the
outcome of pure emotions.
Love, compassion, selflessness.
There are times this pain becomes
unbearable but i choose to do what
is right and just even if it comes with a price.
Dimitrios Sarris Dec 2017
Sailed in seas which match the heavens
wispered secrets at a sunset
and followed the trumbling stars
the ship anchored to land green and reach
an unearthly melody that filled the air.
It was not the foaming waves
not the bird's sing
nore the leaves rustling.
And so the traveller wondered in confusion
until he met a stranger sitting at the foreland.
He did not ask where he is but from
where this music comes from.
The stranger turned and spoke.
"It's Dagda's harp and Apollo's canto
both in tune with Bragi's poem.
Now i travel home for you found yours
and so i return."
Dam I need a blunt,
can't put up with this ****,
I'm fealin a new person
My heart just feals like cursin...

I've bin hear,
in this new home,
sober a new rome,
If i had my shear ****
you'd sure  would hear a cheer song.
I'd feal you out so happy,
have my words churned out to sappy?.
I'm way out,
    I'm not burned,
I get it I sure learned
far out mars rover,
spot me out like your'e lucky clover,
out in a big croud
I'm rare like a drout  cloud,
like I said,
I miss my bed,
eatin all day,
    freakin all may,
Give it a doobie a precious ****** ruby
Not lit Not fit
can-I-Just-quit?.

How bout a bubble and a bowl,?
no trouble nore parol,
you know i'm slick won't get in no ****,
just help a ***** out and ******* a hit.
  I love my jane we plan to mary
when she's gone my world gets scary..
So be it if i'm sketchy,
I'm posted monalisa ,
see me on the wall,
touch me and I'll fall,
  trust I see it all,
you walk right out the door and leave me on this floor,
I've seen it as it's low thats why I tend to flow,
Best of what I know is what minds like to show..
don't come back that lock is latched,
   holdin steady bit attatched,
I need a hook to hold me steady.
some one strong that will be ready,

Weather you ride motorbike
Or play the guitar
Weather you fight in the war
Or ride threw the stars
Weather you hide in the bars
Escape from the gloom
Weather your scared of the dark
Or confided to a room
Weather your the brain with a spark
Or a ****** addict
The drunk in the park
Or work at a medical practice
What im trying to say the common factor is human. Embrace move on no run nore race.
When life maybe be boomin. Grab a mirror look into your face and consider your place.
Quick to judge with no room for a thought
Quick to condemn no room for them sort
Society tells us where different.but im telling you where equal.
Put everything a side and see that where people.

We are a shoe
A lace of one that turns into 2
Like a seed that grew
When rain comes the water turns into dew
But sun light can dry it
But how can we dry if we are full of darkness
Like we make each other targets
Then we get into an argument
And we made each other self-conscious
Our love is godless
Very obnoxious
It makes me noxious
But what about the prophets
That's supposed to make us spotless
I guess when there's darkness
They get locked in a closet
Making us gossip
Whispering in the quadrants
Praying in closed departments
sitting on carpets
If the devil wears designer
I guess i shouldn't line up
because i am going to corrupt
If you don't come up
Ryan O'Hara Apr 2017
That moment when you realize that you hurt someone
That means more than life itself
And it cuts them in the heart
And they bleed due to what you said
And you know there is no forgiving yourself
And you slip back into your demon of the past
And harming yourself is the only thing you know
But when they find out
They hurt even more
They blame themself
But it wasnt their fault
And they cry over you
And something in you dies
You know you cant forgive yourself
They want you to be whole and pain free
But because of what you said you cant let go
Because you hurt the thing that means nore than life
srry to my love
Liam Wales Aug 2015
Knots tie me up inside
Even the places I can't quite find

The drums pound throughout my temple
Maybe these are not the perfect examples

Hate poisons my innocent flesh
What is the feeling that this suggests?
It seems my writing skills aren't incredible
Nore are they desirable

I'm not going to make you wait
I'm just going to tell you straight

I'm angry!
This poem is trying to calm me down.  I think it shows through its nature of progression.  Enjoy!

there is no hell below us
nore is there a heaven above us
we are in them

were in hell, were  in heaven.

we create them
we breathe them
we are them
they boths live inside us

they are bonded in our minds
twisting things together
to create our own spin

we are them

Allow me to ruminate

I'll digest the cud.
While we chew the fat.
In the darkened woods.
Of what we shouldn't at.

Of a thing so wrong.
That we now lay to rest.

With shovel in my hand.
And course i see as best.

So I light a simple lamp.
And quite be my sound.

The guilt is in my heart.
And blood upon my hand.

Do all that i see fit.
Nore wash away the stains.
Of ownership, desire,

And newfound growing pains.

With such a different world.
So different in the calm.

When you can be a god,
And make the world obey.

Not the time
Nore the place
But I don't really care
I will still wish on your grace
Because your my love
My bleeding heart
And even if your gone
We could never be apart
Irena Aug 2018
I have no courage,
nore the need
to ask for name and habits
To ask for age.
I may love you
just the way you are
Unknown
I have no courage,
nore the need
to ask for hopes and fears
The scars you may have
The love you may never
hold
I may love you
just the way you are
to me.
Pale and a little forgotten
So you can rise
from the depths
of my soul
and sink my ships.
So that I could start
over
and over
and over
again.

The beauty of sounds
Love doesn't fall from tree's
Nore into the river that become dry in the season where rain is too scarce.

Love doesn't fall like a leaf's falling down and make the ground *****.
You may open your mouth and show us teeth until you reveal your inner tongue but where there is love the is a vivid picture.

Love and caring are syblings
Love and sharing are twins
Love and smile is a mother and daughter
Where love exist and sympathy exist

Love and pretending is the best enemies
If you give heart a water you want your muscles to  make the blood flow peaceful on it and stay fresh as it is.

If you practice love ,you want to live by it and be its proffer,some body will call you doctor love,

Let's love to be loved and let its meaning over flow.

They say misery loves company
Yet I prepared no table.

Nore has misery prepared one for me.

Yet we find ourselves sitting face to face.

We met once b4 in a distant place.

A place I left

I was merely a guest.
Then..

Allowed to come n go as the door stood wide open.

I was young full of hope then.
Running ..chasing the wind.

The years hide in that wind.
Deceiving you with all of life's temptations.

Twisting and turning you in all directions.


Till one day it all makes sense..

Pointless!


And there she sits.. Waiting!
"Misery"
that beautiful old freind so familiar to me.

Holding on  feeding the cancer within.

They say misery loves company. Yet I prepared no table.
Today I'll dine alone

Yes thats my type
could be this way or that
third layer of type
dreams are there inbitween
the inside of head
bouncing off the skull
almost stereo
left nore right
they are the thoughts
me myself
just ******* me
look at my eyes
back in the room
yes my eyes are blue
my knees hurt
standing to long
my left hand
and the right did nothing
nothing at all
not even a ****.
Oophs P@ul.

Love was created to share.
The nore you love.
The more you care.
Now consider this as truth.
When you're given a love to love.
Respect and cherish that selected one.
Don't like others treat this wrong.

Now consider this.
The biggest fools are those that realize to late.
That their truest love stood beside them.
Ready at an instant to defend them.
Least, until they hurted them.

Who hadn't regreted losing someone great?
Which came about cause of a foolish mistake.
Dimitrios Sarris Sep 2017
The pain was at ease and for a time i had
stillness within, but it was not to be for long.
As shady thoughts linger in my head again
my heart reaches the apogee of loneliness,
my chest stretches.
I can not forget nore i can allow such thoughts
to overwhelm me, so i locked them up.
I hid them even from those i love most,
for they deserve only joy and happiness
not the grouchiness of a troubled soul.

Driven by dreams tormented from desire
A waist  of matter such a waist of time
Only if I can only if I could
I can dream and dream and dream
the reality is I can
My self worth is only half of me
the other half is just a dream
I can never satisfie my self.. nore others.. that's what it seems  
All I hear is lies and lies and lies
U are no friend, no lover and u are no enemy
I do not exist.. and u do not exist to me...
Sick of thinking I can love someone
Tired of feeling schemed
Nothing can change the fact that I am hopeless
And wish everything was just a dream

Our portraits faded
In this land of no opportunities
we bought a little hope
and earned a little tear
No colour for our eyes
No glitter for our lips

Our flowers died
No apples,nore oranges
No birds in our gardens
Hell is cold now
Heaven's too far
Battles started and seem to have
no end  
My nails are ****** from digging
bones from the dirt
Digging bones from the flesh
My womb is hungry for peace

In this land of no opportunities
only cascets travel the road at day
Only death by night

Our portraits faded
Rings and earrings
Tapistries from the walls
Tiny hidden notes
All gone

Letters travel  with no destination
They will tell stories
to the nations yet unborn
Mournings travel even faster
They will write  elegies
to the children unknown

Years shall pass
Armies will march
Songs shall be written and sang
Our portraist will be drawn
But no earth shall rise from these
waters  
No earth shall rise from these graves
Yesterday was too soon
Tomorrow all will be gone

I've been threw withdraws of life
Stabbed in the back I gave the devil a knife
He's the only one who put it down
Follow me smile with frowns look in these eye
Keep the depression  hungry if they find their friends u will always be alone diseption is told no one need u and it's like that till u grow old
Every care u give is twice that don't matter they will follow some one else and throw it in your face I have nothing to give with every second I waist as long as I breath as long as I stop hopeless and heartless till that noose tightly  tightens and flows my bloods stop explode my heart and inpails my brain every day I look in my closet  just drives me insane I wish I can love I can but no one can love me only my momma will be their for me... I watched  her cry when I died cam back to life and disagree for doing it twice but she nore no one else has any idea how to live with ones self

chloe scores a jermaine hattrick 29.08.18

we have a player
full of talent and technique
watched and dissected every layer
we are all justified on being a dr pam critique.
aftershave won't distract
nore will tattoos prevent the deck
most wanted and media contract
sally pointed out about demand for neck.
now the squirm
time for jermaine to change the community
all alibis starting to churn
best line was i gave you the opportunity.
nothing wrong with shoot
does not need any edit
own goal hands up maradona would salute
chloes hattrick gets highest credit.
ending with no karma
chloe was out the door
could this lead to even more drama
will jermaine own goal hattrick score.

I sit here in the window still
The curtains closed my mind is too
But up above I see you moon
Cool your glow to save me soon
I wish for just a better school
So I don't run from them
I fear each day its coming soon
But still I speak no doom
Just think of a better day in June when she was here before the grey
Of summers warm and apple pie
Of skipping ropes
Of open sky
Lay upon the greenest grass
Looking up to you
Hoping you will hear me call
Then the sky turns grey
The storm comes and grabs like clay
The musty smell of well I know
The swirling grating of the bones
The feeling words cannot unfold
The ice it burns like swirling knots
Terrifying if you rock
The ceiling here you seem to be looking down on untold verse the pictures with words  you cannot explain
The depths of which you can't retain
Be still for cooling breeze is here no more to fight no-one to fear
But never even she'd a tear nore spill a word you hear
Or storm return and bones be crushed
The dragon tiny with you trust
Be quiet be still
Now leave the sleep wake fast get dressed return to floor make fast to bed before the storms crash your head fill it full of fairy's wings tiny dragons pens and rings paint the picture of the wall of mysterious woods with adventure in store slip through the trees meet the hare talk to the deer and sleep soundly there
Ignore the twists that scrape the branch ignore the flower that has no dance
Just hold on tight to little dragon he will help you always here he will help you see no fear
Lurking within the depths,
In the cellar of my mind,
Lies a dark demon,
Now in chains,
An unwanted pet,
That breaks free,
The demon is unleashed,
Its flames burn deep,
But now, I am the demon master,
And bathe in the warmth,
Of its fire,
The demon has awoken,
But now lies still,
As it cannot,
Be unleashed,
Nore escape its chains.....

Beauty of Mirror
Reflects the beauty
Of yours

Neither a bit less
Nore a bit more
The hollow Scream
I have become, my own ghost
Like a spectre, i haunt myself
Constantly
There is no exorcism
Of my memories
They are fixed
And will live on
After ive departed my physical form
Moved on
As my carcass
Rots in it's wormy grave
Consumed
My thoughts, meanwhile
Will still be floating
In the breezes
Screaming
At my lost existence
My failed existence
Pointless
This will be my final torture
That i will never escape
The torture
Of a tortured soul
Nore the cruelties, of humanity
I shall a victim
For all eternity
Hear my sCREAM!!!

The sky never ends and nore does my love
Hoping one day it will hit you from above
Because your not here, I'm living in fear
I wish you was near because I miss you my dear
I'll find you again, never let you go
I love you more than you will ever know

— The End —
