Work work
Cradle to grave
Mortgage
Imprisoned
Who's the slave
Slaves for money
And a slice of bread
All for what
You end up dead.
time on earth is only lent
breathing is so better spent
dance yourself through the living flame
Slaves to our address its a crying shame..

Is this rather sinister
An alien is our
Prime Minister
A devouring
snake,
Voting it in
was a
Big
mistake.
Bit by bit
This
slithery diva
Canny **** this
Alien deciever,
Next election
I am going to
vote for
Sigourny Weaver.

Forever in brown jeans
I know it looks
rather queer
Apparently it’s
hereditary
This substance
called Diarrhoea
Do You
know when you
have  been
Because the local
doctor said
It runs in
your genes.
Mark Bell May 9
A smile from you
Will open a door
A smile from you
The fish will come ashore.
A smile from you
The church bell rings
A smile from you
The nightingale sings.
A smile from you
Time will stand still,
A smile from you
Warmth fills me within.
A smile from you
The dead will rise
I know that smile
I have become wise.
Mark Bell Jan 21
Im all done up
On Drink and
Drugs
Thinking
I’ve caught
The love  love bugs.
I’ve been a mess
For many a year
Everything crazy
Nothing clear
Gonna  buy me a dress
Get out of this mess.
Dance with my man
Thats the plan
Flush Drink and
Drugs down the pan
Say to myself
I know who I am.
Been clean for
Many a year
Doing the best
I can
Still got the love love bug
Still dancing with
My man.

Sweet sweet rose
Harsh hard thorns
She was like this
Day she was born
Petals Consuming
So vividly red
Me and mum
We lived in dread
Scented so bitter
Blossoming not
Sweet sweet rose
Deserved what she got.

Sweet sweet rose
Soft silky thorns
He was like this
The day he was born
Petals all giving
So vividly bright
Me and mum
It was just right
Scented so innocence
Blossoming hot
Sweet sweet rose
Deserved what he got.
Mark Bell Mar 27
I made love
To a butterfly
Sweet as honey
It made me cry .
Mark Bell Dec 2024
Watching the world
Go by
Watching humans
Laugh and cry
I reside in a wonderful
Park
I go to sleep when
It’s dark
In the morning
The sun comes up
I warming to  blue
Skies
All these lovely
People just
Wandering
Passing by.
In inclement weather
I get truly drenched
Some people warm to me
See Im just an old park
Bench.
Mark Bell May 27
Climbed the tallest mountain
Swam the coldest seas
Crawled through the desert
On my hands and knees.

You know I love you

Endured an episodes of love island
Shopping trips were hell
Heard all of your stories
You told them so well.

You know I love you

I’ve walked on broken glass
Walked on coals of fire
Pleased you all night long
Coveted your desires.

You know I love you

I’ve taken away your darkness
Soaked up all of your pain
Sorry I can’t come over tonight
Haven’t got an umbrella for the rain.
Mark Bell Dec 2024
Birthday came
Birthday went
No messages
Of love
We’re ever sent.
Father was rotten
Mother a crow
Ignoring  Lilly
They would not
Watch her grow.
Lilly had a heart
Of gold
Mother father so
Awfully cold.
Lily had a white dress
Forever turning red
Wishing every day
Her parents
would be dead.
When Lilly became a mother
A father whom they adore
She suppressed those memories
So they never come ashore.
Mark Bell Dec 2024
Aliens residing
In my head
Love it.

Have lots of
Of space
Between
My ears
Great.

I’ve kept
Their rocket
In my pocket
Heavy

They want
To go home
I don’t want
To be alone
Sad.

Told them
It’s all rent
Free
If they stay
With me
Tip top.

Some of
Them stayed
Rest went
Home
Sweet
now never
To be alone.
Love it.
Mark Bell Feb 20
Me and me cat
Have just had a spat
She wanted to watch
Love island
I said don’t be a ****.
She said meow
Well that caused a row
I said it’s all a farce
So she rolled to one side
And started licking
Her ****.
Mark Bell Feb 18
Me and me lover
We had a spat
I wanted a giraffe
She wanted a cat.
Not being reasonable
All said and done
So then I shot her
with my gun.
Life is understanding
What’s done is done
Now in a human zoo
It’s not much fun.
Life in a second
can change in an act
Give me hindsight
Me having a laugh
Still stupid old me
Would have got a Giraffe.
Mark Bell Jun 2020
I'm sorry for being white
I'm sorry for being black
I'm sorry we can't enjoy life
We are broken that's a fact.

I'm sorry that you hate me
I'm sorry that I hate you
I'm sorry that we don't understand
Ask God to give us a clue.

Humans are broken people,
We have slaughtered through the years
Then how do we solve this problem
It's in the darkness in our tears.

Change don't come in prose
Slaughter has been the way
Millions more will feel the pain
It's in bred inside the day.

I'm sorry for being poor
I'm sorry for being rich
I'm sorry I was never asked to be born
And neither were ******* you.
Mark Bell Feb 12
Loving you
Is wonderful
Loving you
Is fine
Loving you
With devotion
Loving you
So divine.
Loving you
With passion
Loving you
With desire,
Then you open
Up your mouth
It’s like stepping
In a mire.
Mark Bell Oct 2017
A **** spy
A woman of joy
Lovers in war
I was their boy
Growing up
Twisted and wrong
for this earth
I did not belong
Running wild
Thee alpha male
From these shores
One had to sail
Crossed so many oceans
Crossed so many seas
Those fearsome waves
They believed in me
Reaching open land
Alpha and free
Running wild
This was right for me
To eat I could ****
This I understood
I needed the taste
Of nice warm blood
Animals and humans
We're being ate at my table
Cannibilistic me
So sociabally unstable
I was the hunter
Everything was prey
Those wolves in society
Will once win the day
Born a killer
From two twisted souls
Heart of a lion
Bitter and cold
everywhere I travelled
Pastures turned red
So I cut my throat now
On those plains I lay dead.
the wolves devoured me
They had,now had there day
The law of nature says its
The ******* way
Mark Bell May 2017
How do you spin
The whole world a yarn
Just tell them  a  blatant lie
Who really gives a ****
When you no your gonna die.
I love you, you love me
Best yarn ever told,
people have danced to many a tune
While the pack monkey
Will not break the mould
Mark Bell Nov 2024
Love on
The rocks
My whiskey
Friend
Drowning
My sorrow
Till the end.

My little
Spirit
My bundle
Of fun
Love on
The rocks
With a bottle
Of ***

Our days
We’re numbered
Falling apart
Love on the
Rocks
No fresh start.

We parted ways
Our spirit ran dry
Tears of gin
Had made us cry

Love on the rocks
Lost in time
Cheers my friend
I’ll have a bottle of wine.
Mark Bell Jan 16

Sweet little butterfly
Flirting with the flowers
Flying through the air
Between the April showers
Sweet nectar which you
Search
nature gives you plenty
A kiss from a butterfly
Will never leave you empty
Mark Bell Jan 9
Spring is here
Flowers in bloom
Church bells ring
For the bride and groom.
Butterflies are on
the wing
Listen to the
choir sing,
The congregation
Of to the pub
to
Down some
ales
And
Eat lots
of grub.
Music starts
the band
Plays on
The bride dances
To her favourite song,
While the groom
Is doing something
Terribly wrong.
Use your imagination
It’s a difficult mess
With the bridesmaid
He wasn’t playing chess.
Spring is here
Flowers in bloom
Divorce bells ring
For the bride and groom.
Mark Bell May 2017
Storms arising
Sky so black
Daggers sharp
Bloodied back

Clouds so red
Rivers ran dry
daggers so sharp
Double cross why

Broke my heart
Lies so deep
Daggers so sharp
I shall not weep

Head like a ******
Now I must turn
I tasted you
Now I must burn
Mark Bell Jan 9
I got my kicks
On route 67
She lived at
The top
Of my
stairway
To heaven.
Her lust for life
Second to none
She was my pretty woman
In her house of fun.

Loving her was
A coming Of age
Beauty personified
My teenage rampage,
Very sweet she’s truly
Alive wow she loved my
Dimblegate drive.

I got my kicks
Out of route 68
I gave her all my
Loving
When I was at her gate.
We Get it on
we did not fret
High on the happy side
I made her wet wet wet.

I got my kicks
on route 69
That’s where
Rhiannon
My pretty woman
Didn’t walk the line

Got my kicks
on route 70
Up that stairway
I did get
plenty,
Her loving arms
My jailhouse rock
Use your imagination
I’ll do anything
For love but
I won’t do that.
Mark Bell Dec 2024
Candy red
Apple lips
Gorgeous
Figure
Loving hips.
Beautiful eyes
Sharp of mind
Loving nature
Truly kind.
Angel  wings
Sprout from
Your back
Courage
Forever you
Will not lack.
Your cheeky
smile
Could turn
Back time.
Please if I ask
You nicely
Leave me alone or I will
Get a restraining order
Out on you.
Mark Bell Apr 2017
I stare at you
I'm inside your room
I do this everyday
I watch you rise
Wipe sleep from your eyes
I watch you eat
Put socks on your feet
I do confess I watch you undress
I bet your not thinking of me.
I want to hold your hand
I want you to care
You are becoming my silent,dark nightmare.
Waiting I will you might give me a call
I don't think this will happen
Because I'm stuck to your wall
Mark Bell May 2017
One brick left
When once a wall,
Fallen from sight
When once So tall.
a tiled hat
Windows as eyes,
Proud I was
As people passed by.
My family around me
All grounded to dust
Lonely as I,now die I must.
Mark Bell May 2017
Strategic bombs to
Nuts and bolts,do
We really care because
It's not my fault.
Our homeland has become
A vase for flowers
When faced with adversity
We must not cower.
Politicians using disasters
For political gain
While mothers and fathers
Grieve with pain
A cancer grows in bombs
And prose around the corner
Nobody knows
Mark Bell Nov 2024
Icicles forming
Inside my fire
I have a broken
Mind.

I live with
A cat it has
Hat
She is very
Kind.

My meals
Are small
Have no
TV
I don’t look
For sympathy.

Radio for sound
I pad to write
I am not poor
This feels so right.

I have no one
To whom I
Can chat
Just my friend
My sweet cat.

Icicles forming
Inside my tears
mind will need
A bottle of scotch
Just to drown
away my fears.
Mark Bell Jan 12
****** de

The simple
Life of a
Piece of poo

Never a winner
Better out
Number two
Was his best
Shout.

Time out
For him
Was a day
In Looe

****** de

The simple
Life of a

On a day out he
Liked to meet
His best mate
Stinky Pete.
Mark Bell Apr 2017
Sabre rattling in the world
Is surely getting out of hand
Third World War,well odds on,
I putting on fifty grand.
Made me a little bunker
Made it of concrete and lead
I don't no why I'm spending
Fifty grand,odds on favourite
I'll end up dead,
So when the bombs go boom off
And all the ****  hits the fan
Put your head up your ****
And make an alternative plan
Mr America being the hard nose police,
Mr Korea just being-naughty sheep.
Mr Russia just hasn't got a clue
NATO and Europe such a motley crew.
Ring a ring a roses a posy full of dread
Stop eating out of the basket of despair
And stop trying to turn our rivers red.
I have a solution let's all paint the world
Bright pink,
And run around stark naked, what would
Your neighbours think.
Mark Bell May 27
We tell each other stories
About our past glories
Some are heroic
Some stupidly inane
Some are about love
suffering and pain.
We tell each other
Lots of truths
and plenty of lies
Some make us laugh
Some make us cry,
Some hit a nerve
And then you ask why.
Stories make us smile
Some stories make you weep
If there not interesting
You can always fall to sleep.
Mark Bell May 2017
Lightening in a bottle
Born to sexually thrill
Diamonds are not forever
Your poetry will always ****
Mark Bell Apr 2017
Where for out thou lunatic
I used to know me well
I was once sane you know
This you could seemingly
Tell.
Was it a bang,a bang upon my head
Or was it something somebody had cruelly said.
What was the trigger that tipped me
over the point of no return
Was it the knowledge that I never had to learn
Still looking for different ways to openly self harm
Me and my mate Shakespeare living in the funny farm.
Mark Bell Jan 25
Lots of numbers
Lots of speech
Gone to places
Where most
Can’t reach
Pictures in
My memory
Im at the
Bottom of
The sea
Coup up inside
A pocket
Never feeling free.
I know that
You don’t care
Because our secrets
You do share.
In my shell
It’s just all a drone
Being your
mobile phone.
Mark Bell Apr 2017
Jelly and cream
Good verses bad
Satan and God
Happy loving sad

Life attaches death
Foot and ball
Guns wins wars
Rise and fall

Mother and father
Daughter and son
Beginning  to end
Misery and fun

Clever I'm thick
Cement and brick
Words in dictionaries
Buckets for sick

Lyrics and music
Hot freezing cold
Light and dark
Hairy or bold

I'm not sure where I'm going with this
So I'll stop and start and hit to miss
Hate it or love it give yourself a kiss
Hello goodbye,
If everybody was alright there
Would be nobody left
Mark Bell Apr 2017
Ducks riding bicycles
Hamsters driving cars
Bananas flying aeroplanes
Nuclear bombs in jars.
Fish catching people
Kangaroos on a tram
Dead ruling the living
Has poo poo hit the fan.
Atoms kissing protons
While hyenas play guitar
Understanding people
Now that's seem to bizarre
Mark Bell Dec 2024
To you
Im the
Walking dead
Your sulking
Was it
Something
I said
Cold shoulder
Freezing me out
Confide in me
Create no doubt,
If I’ve wronged
I do apologise
Nobodies accused
Me of being wise
In my soul
I have bled
Stop making
Me feel like
Im the walking
Dead.
Mark Bell Apr 2
Winter sometimes
Cold and unkind
Summer mornings
Tonic to the mind.
Temperature goes up
The sun do's shine
Us at the table
With bottles of wine.
Summer is lovely
My woman is definitely
not *****
She likes to dance
All day naked
In the ****.
I certainly don’t have
A problem with that,
Nor do the neighbours
And their tabby cat.
Mark Bell Nov 2024
Strawberry lips
Ice creams
Summer days
Seaside dreams
Bikini lady
Iced teas
Sun glasses
Sweet memories
Young love
Sanded toes
Summer days
With my purple rose
Swimming in each
Others tears
T L C conquering
All our fears
Blossoming hearts
More colourful years.
Mark Bell Jan 19
Sunday morning nightmare
Head do's throb
Drunk a bottle of whisky
At least twenty shots.
Sunday morning nightmare
There’s nothing queer as folk
Went to bed with a woman
But woke up with a bloke.
Sunday morning nightmare
Trying to be quite as a mouse
Where the **** am I
This ain’t my ****** house.
Sunday morning nightmare
The wife didn’t look so glum
She said you *******
You weren’t having all the fun.
Sunday morning nightmare
We walked slowly back home
Went to our beds
And slept
soundly alone.
Mark Bell Jul 16
The promenade is full today
With sunshine walkers
Enjoying the day.
Children with
beach *****
In sand
they play,
This is the
life on a
Summers day.
Fish and chips
Inside beachside cafes
Policeman in glass box
Having a laugh.
Attraction of thee
Arcades ready to
Take your money,
Fifty pence machine you
Might win a bunny.
The day ends the sun
Needs a rest
Sunshine days
Simply the best.
Mark Bell Dec 2024
My mate Dave
Went to a rave
Took some drugs
Now lies in a grave.

My mate Steve
On ******* and crack
Now resides in a
Mortuary
lying on
His back.

Overdose Bill
Cardinal sin
Stupid ****
Passed away
Took to much
******.

My mate John
Did it all wrong
A shot in the arm
Did a lot of harm.
He’s alive
not very well
Residing in a
Hospice
An empty shell.

Runstable woodhams
Is my name
Lost my friends
Playing a dangerous game
Many more died
Life run out of  the fire
Twist about this rhyme
I was there drug supplier.
Mark Bell Mar 22
A rose will blossom
In the month of June
As sure as the sands
Create the dunes.
The sun will shine
After the pouring rain
sure as the wolf
That howls in
the open plains.
Winter follows autumn
As the trees shed there leaves
As sure as the mouse that
Hunts for the cheese.
Everything living
Must take a breath
As sure as the wanderer
Who must rest.
Mark Bell May 26
To say these three words
It’s just the truth
They come deep
inside my heart
Honestly I’ll walk
The earth
Swim the seas
Crawl the artic
Endure deep freeze.
To say these three
words to you I’ll fly them
from a flag
Die you hag
Mark Bell Nov 2024
Touch of velvet
Orchid blue
Heart so scented
Innocence is true
Mark Bell Dec 2024
We crossed
The stream
On stepping
Stones
To a peaceful
Place
To be alone.
We sat under
Shaded tree
That’s where
We had our
First kiss
You and me.
Scented you were
The sun did shine
We etched our names
In the tree of time.
Mark Bell Jul 29
Black bird and the worm
Became the best of friends
They lived a long life
And a story with no end.
Mark Bell Mar 8
Sensation of seeds
That germinate
From your heart
Candy apple red
I hope we don’t part.
The butterflies you
Give me are warming
Within
With you my lovely
Where do's one begin.
Your smile is infectious
Blossoming of the rose
These seeds of beauty
Everything grows.
Mark Bell May 2018
Sweet smell of the roses
Romance ain't dead
We embraced while naked
Then we took pleasure to bed
A night to remember passion was there
Flesh upon flesh sweet.
Mark Bell Dec 2024
Touch of velvet
Orchid blue
Heart of innocence
Scented true
