Does a cat
Know it’s a cat.
Does a dog
Know it’s a dog.
Everything
Is danger
Or is it
Just game.
Human
The animal
Gives everything
A name.

Laughing hyena
Long necked
Giraffe
Naming all these
Animals must
Have been a laugh

Zebra and the crocodile
Don’t know each other
By name
Am I going to
be a winner
You will be
My edible
Dinner

The gate keeper
Has lost her key
Hey ** what will,
Will be.
Me and you
We all live on
I don't give a ****
If they get it all wrong,
The rich are the powerful,
Manipulate with twisted tongue.
Joe public are always hung
Dance to a tune for at least
Four years
Oh deary me oh dear dear dear

Tinker,tailor,soldier spy
One of these work for thee FBI.
four jolly bed fellows
Twists and turns,
Three of these have to
Jolly well burn.
Who are the baddies
Working for the KGB

Send the codes to me
Take them out
In your own time
You have clearance
We're cover up the crime

We live we cry
We **** we die

Good god my minds *******
Who made who
In this world of stew
It wasn't me, see
So give us a clue please do.

Strictly come dancing
We came together
My dancing partner
Was a talented *****.
We danced the tango,
then the foxtrot
Then she gave a cough
And one of her legs
fell off.
The whole experience
Did not go to plan
We had to withdraw
From the next dance,
The French can can.
Mark Bell Feb 18
Into the valley
We ran with speed
Round the lake
Where the fishes feed
Down the footpath
Across the field
All this excitement
Didn’t get the appeal.
In my haste I had
Joined a race
Why was everybody
Running at a different pace.
At the end at the
finishing line,
Came in last now
That was fine.
I might have done better
If I had read the signs
Wasn’t my fault Im
Totally blind.

Birthdays have lost
There happiness
Playgrounds gates
Have closed
Corruptive politicians
Are going unopposed.

Where will the children play
When trolls and hatred
Have there wicked way
Definitely not on
Social media
Where lots of them
become prey.

Children become adults
Social media is their addiction
Lots of propaganda
Lots of friction
Where will the adults play
When media has its way.

Happenings that didn't happen
Wondered what happened to them
Where did the flame go
The one you wouldn't light
Non forming memories
Because of blinkered sight
Shadow of the unborn waiting in your womb
Unwritten lyrics dancing to one lonely tune
Crying shame that blame game
Why wasn't it meant to be
Watch the icicles dance inside the flame
It might just set you free

I am what I am
Gender *****
Who am I
Don’t give a -uck
Gender is like
Flying a flag
Causes problems
Put it in a body bag.
You are what you are
It Is what it is
Gender wokes
Still *******.
You are what you are
Gender *****.
Who are you,
Never understood
Why you give a -uck.
LGB  QPR
Please don’t give a ****
What gender you are.
Why
Mark Bell Jun 29
Why
My girl with
Golden eyes
My daughter
Reached the
Age of five
Her journey
Was about to start
Then disaster
Our world
Fell apart.
She was gone
Tears I cry
Why do children
Have to die.
Mark Bell May 12
In every breath
There lives a cry
All I can taste
Is all of your lies.
In every word
A web you weave
Cryptic prose
All out to deceive.
The sound of your voice
Is twisted with fear
What comes out
I will not adhere.
What do you see
When you look at me
Im stuck in your web
Trying to break free.
In every look
Your totally blind
Why were you made
So awfully unkind.

Little me the killer I

***** habits

The wife leaves
Washing up
in the sink.
She knows
That’s where
I like to wee
***** habit
She’s got
Do you agree.
In the bathroom
Her ***** habits
Make me laugh
She knows I like
Dump in the bath.
She’s got one last habit
A backside thorn
She’s got the remote
When I want to
Watch ****.
Im going to get
Some ***** habits
of my own
I have to
leave her
And find a home,
Alone.

Tsunami wave
Harmonic emotion
Volcanic eruption
Melodic devotion
Hurricane wind
Symphonic heart
Northern lights
We will not part.

Twenty course meal

Bemused confused

And your mate

Wee wee

Joan of arc
Ice lollies
Only for
The rich
Hot,  black
And
Attached to
A stick.

Sitting on the Evil wall
Debating with myself
Shall I give good a call.
Communication a wipeout,
A septic flaw,
How can one love?
When you can't be sure.
I sit on the wall
With a wide arsed grin
Demons with Sabres  start
to be riotous within,
all I have to do is to make the call
Yet its another wipeout
Mark Bell Jan 24
Mummy said to me
Don’t upset an even flow
Your learn to hate
It’s just so.
If you learn to hate
There is no finish
There is no start
Just a circle
To a broken heart.

Wishing well stood proudly
In the middle of village square
Throw in all your pennies
Ask a question if you dare.
So I asked for one ***** **** *****
Long blonde hair and super mega rich
when I awoke next morning
With my wife still by my side
That clever all knowing wishing well
Knew that I had lied
Mark Bell Dec 2024
A wishing well
In village square
Throw a coin
My wife she dared
Be careful what
You wish for
Wishes come true
My imagination
Ran wild what
Was I to do.
Next morning
I woke
With my wife
Beside
That smart old
Wishing well
Knew I had lied.

Sixpence piece fell from her purse,
I picked it up this started the curse.
Electric eyes bewitching me,this I could not ignore
Barbed wire snaked tongue,lips so red I shall adore
Cursed for eternity to walk among her dead
This to was my curse for taking her to bed.
The joy was all hers, love for her were my pains
Locked by her darkish side by flesh eating chains.
My heart been ripped out,she has tasted my blood
That coin still in pocket all emotions were in a flood
How was I ever to be set free from her curse
Would it be to easy,by putting death into reverse
Don't be so silly I say it's all fantastically absurd
Shall I be with her for eternity I'll take a rain check
On being cured.

Unleash the wild one
Freedom open plains
Mighty is the wolfman
Casting of his chains
Aroma of the breeze
Freedom open skies
Victim of the wolfman
Ghastly shrieking cries
Mark Bell Dec 2024
Cotton wool bombs
Razor blade rain
Showers
In my head
Going insane.
Catch 22
With nothing
To do
Barbed wire feet
Not a ******* clue.
Ten thousand volts
Flow through
My veins
Wake up every
Morning
It’s the  *******
same
Going mad
Gone insane.

Blackbird chirping
For his mate
What he didn’t know
It’s what the foxy ate.
Nature is a blissful place
When other creatures
Can eat your face.
Mark Bell Jan 9
You got me doing
What you want
me to do.
Im inept
Gullible I haven’t
a clue
You got me going up
You got me going down
Im your puppet
A manipulated clown.
Im your umbrella
In the pouring rain
Im caught in your
Insanity I do not complain
I’ve got loads of money
She’s the happiness trap
Im the toilet paper when she
Needs a crap.
I need her
I love her
With true grit
But most of all
I stay with her
Because
She’s
Got *******.
In the end I will
Have the last laugh
I am Drowning  the *****
In an acid bath.
Mark Bell May 2017
I slew an individual
I did it souly on a whim
I really never gave a ****
Who it be, a her or a him.
I don't blame society
Or the hypocrites that make the law
I'm know I'm totally ****** up
And this boat cannot come ashore.
I'm a fruit cake without a larder
A clock without a chime
I'm not dancing to any rhythm
So I must pay for the ******* crime
Mark Bell Dec 2024
Setting sail
Upon the sea
Two young
Lovers
You and me

Ancient mariner
Poetry entwined,
Upon the sea
We’re  sailing blind.
I think now
I must digress
We were
Totally involved
In happiness.

Bride and groom
We ebbed and flowed
Wallowed in love
Passion and fire
Acting out our
Carnal desires.

End of the voyage
Everyone drank
What a laugh
The happy boat sank.
The ancient  mariner
Was at a lost
He sank the ship
Instead of killing
Thee albatross.
Mark Bell Dec 2024
Loving you is
Such a pleasure
Heart of gold
Such a treasure.
Sweet little
snowflake
On the breeze
Loving you
Makes me
At ease.
You are my sun
My bundle of fun
Loving you a pleasure
I will give you a
Diamond ring
If you become my
Treasure.
Ruby eyes
Sapphire blue
Loving me
Loving you.
Mark Bell Nov 2024
Your heart
Is mine
My heart
Is yours.

Hearts entwine
Become one
We can make
Loving oh
Such fun.

Lips on lips
Skin on skin
Two hearts
Beating
Tingle within.

Loving you
On a bed of roses
Scented from
heaven above
It’s a scene
From the movies
Two people falling
In love.
Mark Bell Dec 2024
Looking through
Some photographs
I see one of you
It was when you
We’re young
When lies we’re
Sweet and true.

Looking through
some photographs
I found one of me
Smiling into your
Blue eyes
Thoughts were
running free.

We fell in love
Had plenty of fun we
Danced naked under
The golden sun.

As we got older and
Went our separate ways
The skies got darker
A distorted shade of grey

I wish we could of had
More sky blue days
The sad part of that
You had passed away.

So these photographs
Of you smiling oh so sweet
Memories came flooding back
What a fantastic treat
Mark Bell Apr 2017
Moonlit cornfields
Sovereign skies
Majestic glories
All seasons cry

Hallowed lands
Enigma of stone
Beautiful glories
Never alone

Dancing rainbows
Landscape green
Fantastic glories
In aquamarine

Fallow deer
Swallows fly
Majestic glories
For our countries
We die

— The End —
