Poet Introduction
Hi I am a lover of writing and i like to share my work I hope you enjoy reading it
If Genies So Existed
It was 1991
in a pub called
The Braes
back when we were
young
in the un-sung
good old days .
I was playing pool
for my local
that night
when I saw you
I nearly drooled
thought I was cool
in my shirt of white
just 19
without a clue
but into you
that much I knew
alright
can you
remember too
or am I the fool
clutching memories
tight .
The following Saturday
of November 23rd
I walked into Lacey's
I looked
and there you were ...

Human Computers
Don't you think
that
as time moves forward
we lack to react
as doors open for you
and voices
replace maps
humanity
gets born now
designed
on an I phone App
the media's controlled
in towns
our thoughts
and moves are tapped
hormones not needed
feed cloned foul
infant growth
gets speeded , up
and through
the bowel
chemically impeded
the people
just allow
from the fluoride
on your teeth
to what we drink
to be
dumbed down , we're being programmed
human computers ...

The Hollow Call
Wretched nights
alone and cold , brittle , inside
the chrome
on harsh steel
trapped ln an image of isolation
that for me
is a picture , real .
My hollow call
only audible to those
who cannot hear me
visions of a far away earth
appear surrealistically
as if the world
was gone now
floating without limbs
just a head staring back
at me
without a hand
to give .
I've searched
the cracked concrete paths
that lead from
the snowy flecks
of our past
into the now ...

New Songs From Olden Words
The wind whistled
a new tune , today
so akin
(closer I listened)
to the , key of 'A'
within the differed
pitching
I was blown away
as in it was your vision
from the , good old days
fading out
you laughed , and did say
look for me fast foward
to the , current rays
the past has gone to let us witness
what went wrong
we can address this
un-spelled songs
left unfinished
still where we fell
in some un-penned ditch
lazing in the craze
of our lifes duress
where mental cathedrals
pray...

Sucker For You
I'm sick of this
shit
I'm happy
for a moment
then I'm down
the next minute
I don't know
where we're going
the worst part of it , is
the , not ever knowing
you are hot
then your cold again
you correspond
then you don't log in
I just can't , start , begin
to understand , figure
women
I'm lost , then
I'm found within
each hour
that , I'm counting
there's noise
then no sound
I feel joy
to a sad clown
I'm bobbing all over
like a buoy
out of town

Dreaming Of Reality
If only
my dreams
could show me
reality
you'd hold me
endlessly
on some boat
way out at sea
I'd do anything
to be
in your life
but openly
stretch your arms
extremities
hold my palms
legitimately
walk for yards
down
the front street
where are
you
why can't
we be
anything
like this , I'm beat
as it's ripping me
to bits
is there something
wrong
with me
it's been going
on for weeks
is there something
I have missed
'cause I just ...

Daydreams At Night
I sit here
and daydream
a lot at night
all the unclear
gains focus
lit up bright
I picture you
in the warmth
of my mind
but it's untrue
you're alone
on the outside
you're attempting
some normality
of this life
but you're pretending
through functionality
gained high
a never ending
pre-planned , and
stressed out time
your world is
bending It's stretching
way too tight
you're only lending
the pre-sundown
post sunrise
and the debt you're in
it will cost you

I Strive Out Of Reach
The end
of an era
before
it could be
the up coming
from the under
is over
finale
I try not
to remember
the what could of
never been
I hide
without cover
because
I'm not seen
I'm a father
a brother
but a nothing
to my Queen
I try
but why
bother
as you'll never
want for me
I'm untied
and wide open
gaining more
injuries
I'm below
thick cloud cover
as the sun
shines brightly
I'm the only damn number
that equates
to empty

This Buoy Of Clay
In future
only speak
what you
mean to say
then every other
week
I wouldn't feel
this way
misguided
and lop sided
and in dis-array
so lost
that's why
you'll find me , blindly
in the wrong day
hiding from the
bright lights
shining
that's just incase
one of them
might be lying
in the wrong ray
I'm docked
in hells bay
my stocks
now crashed
I'm un-payed
all roads
are bashed
crazy paved
with a big thanks
to our fate
the branch
I climbed on ,...

Past All Nebular
Do you know
that when I sit here
its an image of you , I have on show
all else , becomes unclear
my biggest fear
is , you'll never appear
and in my ear , you'll
never blow .
Your echoes
and your pictures
they come together
like rare birds do sing
in beautiful
and strange mixtures
no matter the weather .
When I stare
at your image
theres a rare
convergeance
altered hair
and eyes so beautiful
full of flame
and acceptance
female
and love bountiful .

What Do I Do
What do I do
to get you
in my life
if it's hell
I'm to walk through
ok ,I'll view it
from inside
then I'll talk
some home truths
in an underworld
of fat lies
stalking on
wet roofs
slipping on
cracked tiles
I'm already tripping
I don't need ice
I flip past the flipping
fins of fish side
my mind
you're whipping
with that big smile
you're some gift
given
wrapped up tin tight
with an outer lining
of shiney ,silver bright
come on
I'm asking , you
