without you time is endless, my heart yearns for your touch, as i draw nearer to you, my love grows oh so much, to feel your breath upon me, the warmness of your skin, to kiss your lips, caress you, know that you are mine.
Feeling lonely, feeling blue All because I’m missing you Wishing to be by your side In the flesh not in my mind To touch you would be such sweet pleasure Something that I’ll always treasure
If I said that I was crazy Cause my friend you cannot see Does that mean I am enlightened Not as crazy as I seem For my friend is wholly real Not a figment as you think As he keeps on the right path Far from standing on the brink He is my voice of reason In this god forsaken world My forgiveness in my turmoil My leading hand to hold
I sit with my friend and chat Till days end we natter Just chewing the fat Does it matter we natter till The end of all matters as his end Already came and went
How my life has turned out I never could have dreamed The good and bad decisions Have turned me into me From growing up my choices Have led me here right now I can look at what I have And you will not see me frown My wife and children with me There is no better thing And from now until my last day Only happiness they’ll bring
You are the one and only That holds my heart and soul Though when it comes to showing I just really do not know Although I tell you daily I love you more than life And I am truly honoured That you agreed to be my wife
Your radiance is greater Than 1000 suns Your beauty Always leaves me stunned Your grace would silence Heavens angels Your love Will last throughout the ages You are forever in my heart Nothing will ever Keep us apart
Bound, broken, bleeding I lay there at your feet You ask for what you need But your eyes I cannot meet I fear that I’ll disappoint And that makes me pull away I want to bear my soul to you To show how I really feel But even after all these years I feel you might turn me away Before my chances dwindle And the time all disappears Please know you are the only one I could have given all my years If there is nothing else to know I hope you already do I love you with all my being And will forever more
Lotions, potions, powders and pills Nothing I take ever cures my ills The pain in my muscles Fatigue in my bones It seems at the moment All I do is moan The one thing I want Above any other Is to be pain free For just 24 hours That would be so perfect It could be such peace To not have this agony I can dream at least
Is my pain reality Or is it in my head Will it disappear Or stay with me till I’m dead My existence is a struggle Day to day a living test But the love of my family Keeps me trying my best
I sit alone In my own company Looking at my younger self Through time jaded eyes Wishing to give Some learned advice Wanting to share The wisdom of age But knowing His time is past
The perfect day What would that be To lie in bed Just you and me Or in the park With all of us Watching the kids Making a fuss Walking the paths Along the river Holding hands My heart aquiver
Maybe a perfect day Does not exist But putting the good times Into a list Can be stitched together So throughout your life That perfect day Is all played out Not all in one But in small parts And felt as one day In our hearts
Perfection is unattainable So everybody says Then I look at you and fall in love Each and every day Your flaws are what make you perfect Without them what’s to know Your scars and blemishes and marks From surface to your soul The children you have given us The house you make our home Is full of love and happiness Cause perfect is your love
In the gentle quiet When most are fast asleep The velvet night envelopes The people as they breathe The deep breath’s of the resting The murmurs as they dream As all the stresses of the day Are melted right away
Rank bestows entitlement So those with power think To push around the lesser ones Their right it is believed But if we all just stand up to them Don’t cower when they speak Show them that we matter too Power to the meek
See the bullets Flying far Through the night Like shooting stars Keeping back the enemy Big bad men You will not see On the news the battle rages The tv screen seen by all ages Miles away the fight is fought Once seen not given another thought Except the men that fight and die Have wives and kids in their minds eye To keep them safe is their mission They volunteer to give their lives So you can stay safe with your wives A debt is owed to all those men Forever please remember them
For those that do not know me I’m a man of little worth I don’t have lots of money And all I do is work I have a quite large family To house and feed and clothe But none of them has wanted For a home that’s filled with love My family is growing still My children having more And all I have is theirs to have As my love continues to grow I may not have the money To buy most everything But believe me I’m the richest man I love with all my being
We been sledging in the snow Kids all shouting GO GO GO Up and down the hill we run Laughing as we have our fun Sliding on the snow so fast Wishing it will always last
We are all made of stardust That fell out of the sky A sun that just exploded After millennia burning bright It floated through the galaxy To settle on this planet It’s journey never ending It’s inside each and everyone It’s rest our beginning
Where or why the tears flow I have no control They seem to come from nowhere Mostly when I am alone Many people stand around me Not seeing all my pain I want to scream aloud Although it would be done in vain My ailments are invisible You cannot see what’s wrong And every day I wonder Can I keep on being strong
The tears flow freely The pain is a thief Tearing away my sanity Piece by little piece Will there ever be a time When there is no pain That I do not cry Will I be insane There are no words to describe my plight But for now at least I survive to fight
Will the soft dark take me To slumber so sweet The oblivion of dreamlessness Wonderment of sleep A dream so close to take me From my painful daily world And wrap my mind in velvet Till the dawn reclaims it’s hold
As they stand there In skimpy clothes Ignoring the letching The leering Calling to the lonely The lost the sad The desperate The depraved Are you looking For a date A good time Always in danger Taking the risk To earn the Money for the next fix The next meal The babies clothes No one asks their Stories
When I look into the mirror Am I happy with the man The life I’ve lived the deeds I’ve done Could my life be just a sham I’ve done some things I’m proud of Others not so much But I’ve been around the world And seen some wonders and such Although I’ve enjoyed my time away My heart is in my home With my wife and all my children When my travels are all done My wealth is in my family My riches are their love So when I look into the mirror I thank my lucky stars above
The mask adorned I start my day From dusk till dawn The mask is away They would be shocked If they only knew The real me hidden from view The laughter hollow Just for show Very few people really know The pain I suffer day to day A price I know that I must pay
If you could see me for who I really am Do you think you would love me Or turn round and run Could you accept the monster That is lying inside Capable of anything It sits and it hides Waiting and watching Scenting the air Poised to attack Any threat that is there
Are you willing to wash All the blood from my hands When I reign in the violence I cannot hold down Will it make you proud That I can hurt Another person Regardless of worth Could you listen to tears That fall to the earth
My demons are caged Though they only get stronger Don’t know if I can hold them For very much longer
Why do I feel so strange When I look in a mirror is that me Is this a borrowed vessel Is my mind separate This body someone else When I sleep who uses it If I forget something is that The other waking Taking over for a moment If I die does he carry on
The point I try to make Is that there is no point at all When you are gone from this world You are gone and that is all You may be remembered But that will not be for long So I repeat The point I try to make Is that there is no point at all
Everybody needs it For one thing or another If not from a professional We get it from each other We talk and laugh and joke About the things that are our troubles To lighten our minds And stop them crumbling to rubble
From something as simple as falling over to something as big as losing a loved one we all have traumas that need therapy be it professional or not keep your mind healthy
The truth is that We are finite One life we have to live To fill the world With love and light Not tarnish it with hate
The truth is that We are human Each and every one So teach the next generation To do better than we’ve done
The truth is that this poem could probably never really be finished as there are so many messages that need to be sent to the world and words will never be enough
That man you see When it’s dark Upon a bench In the park Without a roof Or room to stay In all weather Snow, wind, rain Served his country Proud and true Came back broken Can’t fight through Society looks down on him Don’t see the man Or what he did They see a drunk, addict, *** A down and out Use to no one His family a distant dream His end will come Cold alone and lonely.
The voices speak Some are not friends I sometimes wonder When is the end I go to sleep Awake each morning To the clamour Of them returning Never knowing silence Can I ever know peace
Why do the voices taunt me They whisper all the time I’m never free from noises That try to control my mind Sometimes it’s hard to tell If they are from inside or out So from time to time to silence them I have to scream and shout
Will I ever fold and listen Or can I stay forever strong These voices getting louder Might take me over before long I hope and pray my barriers Will last and drown them out For I fear for my sanity Will leave me left with nought
I want to give you the world in box Tied with a beautiful bow To give you everything you could ever want Because I love you I hope you know Every star twinkling in the night Would be yours in the blink of an eye The diamonds from every mine in the world Would be worthless if you weren’t mine With you at my side I am happy I walk around lighter than air But the day that you’re gone Is the day that I die inside Swallowed by endless despair
Mothers and daughters Fathers and sons Brothers and sisters People each one Died by the thousands Killed for a cause A madness for power A sick holocaust
The whole world fighting With guns and with bombs To stop the destruction Yet causing their own And returning from battles Fought ******* the field Find they are isolated Can’t express how they feel
The hunger for power Is what fuels war Will forever enshroud us Keep us on our knees As a man and a soldier One thing I would plead Fight no more with weapons Use words and treaties
If I ever seem a burden Please remember what I’ve done Taken care of you and loved you Since you popped out of your mum I worked all hours just to feed you Keep you clothed and toasty warm Held a job to keep you sheltered Safe and dry against the storms I missed maybe a birthday Or a play in which you starred But my child I’ll always love you Which is why I worked so hard I know you have a life and family And you work all hours sent To keep your children’s bellies full And make the money for the rent Please remember that you’re doing All the things that I have done I hope that now you realise And that you understand
