The boy is ignorance
The girl is want
They pump from the wellspring
The human font
Beware of them both
If doom you'd destroy
But of the two
Keep a closer eye on the boy.
Distant
Attendant
Superior
Shitbox
Character traits
The type impossible
To deal with in good faith
To deal with in good faith
The type impossible
Character traits
Shitbox
Superior
Attendant
Distant.
They'll go to the depths
Of your brain
When you are
Day dreaming
Drag up the thoughts there
Push em into the light
that pours through
Your east facing
big soulful windows
To be read
By them who have sight.

The nice things we had
Lay in a broken pile
Smeared in *****
And set on fire
We couldn't play quiet
We couldn't play nice
Despite persistent
And heartfelt advice
From us from
The future
In separate pods
Crying the blues
Shouting the odds.
Science function.

A drunk goes into a chippy and says
"I'll have a portion o chips and a steak and kidely pie."
The worker says
"You mean steak and kidney pie don't you?"
The lush replies
" That's what I said ****** I ?"

There is a thing about
Putting a thing about
In a place
That makes it easy to do it
That makes the folks
That  might
Have had less of a light
If this website
Had maybe
Just
Eschewed it.

Is that thin gravy
Or black coffee
That half empties my cup?
It's been there awhile
It's looking a bit rough
Don't give it a sniff
Grasp the handle
Take it up
Drain it down
I'll know soon enough.
Jimmy silker Jul 1
The death's head dagger
Your grandad
Took off of
That dead ****
The scooter
From the chase
Of Diana's paparazzi
That banner that read
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
When George W
Landed that fighter
On that warship
In the Persian gulf
Good luck
Selling that stuff.
Jimmy silker Jan 12
A host of disappointed optimists
Crestfallen once again
The odds were stacked against them
But they remembered when
A Ronnie Radford or Micky Thomas
Could explode a tiny ground
the roof would come off the place
An exhilarating sound
But as it drained down to ninety minutes
With chances growing thin
A thousand tin foil FA Cups
Are going in the bin.
Jimmy silker Mar 22
There's not a breath of wind this morning
Apart from the occasional breath of wind
In my ***** potential children spawning
Will later be cast into sin
The breeze it grows and circles the Earth
Next generation dies in a ****
Left feeling somewhat the burk
In the occasional breath of wind.
Jimmy silker Jan 7
I just seen my footprints
In the snow
Good lord!
I walk funny
Like the left leg
Doesn't like the right
And won't look it in the eye
The problem is the hip
Denuded of articulate cartilage
The grind and weakness
Make my gait so obvious
If it gets much worse
I'll be walking round in circles
Getting more pathetic
Like an inverted turtle
When I look down
At the frosty prints
It's really quite a shock
If you want to know what time it is
It's always nine o clock.
Jimmy silker Jan 24
He used to wear prism glasses
At the ******
To look at other men's
*****
He wasent gay
He just loved conflict
Non stop.
Jimmy silker Jan 4
Licking *****
Is. O course
The job you have signed into
When  it goes  to  
The thing that thing
Doth damage the plate we know
That stamps the truth
How doth thou it do
And then contemplate into
What We all die alone
That seems where we came in here.
Jimmy silker Aug 1
You can buy a vowel
On wheel of fortune
But pay with embarrassment
On this site
It ok to misuse
Them big long words
As long as they
Sort of
Almost
Sound right.

Mum Ra the ever living
Your ma the ever giving.

Will the days
All fall away
Or is it
Just this one
Here to stay?
Jimmy silker Mar 24
He's was drinking like a senior ****
In the bunker June 45
Staving off the foul inevitable
To face his actions
When alive
Half a mile from ground zero
Two minute warning
A minute past
Like Hetfield said
Take a look at the sky
For it will be your last
The terrible is arriving
see the widening infernal plain
They've traced the call
They are coming
To make him wear his blame.
When the swingball clicks
When the twelfth bell rings
When the landlord
Is tapping his foot
To ask WHY!?!
For the hundredth time
Will serve you
Not one ****
When the birds
Hunker down
And stop singing
All music gone
The pants stop swinging
Look on the bright side
It's a new beginning
To wander unbound
And alone.
Alone.
Jimmy silker Jul 19
When the water
Comes
Above  
Your chest
Where the waves
Freely go
You know the
Pressure
Forces
Beneath
Your eyelids
That's when
You've got nowhere to go
Jimmy silker Jul 8
Sometimes
I do it immediate
Unthinking and smooth
Like a YouTube vid
Of well practised worker
Droned out in his groove
Others it quite pathetic
A full ten minute production
Am i teasing it the right way
Rub
Pull
Blow
Even desperately applying suction.
Jimmy silker Mar 13
The Irish know
A field in England
Will forever be
Not just a corner.

What is it your after?
When your just sitting there
Or just sitting there
And just ******* there
I've heard that's how some work it out

When working out
On the treadmill
Or in the ****** gym
The words for those
come buzzing
To the ear within

In a rowing boat
With a fishing rod
On a foreign beach
Half cut
After bumping
Into an old lover
The once open doors
Now firmly shut
And locked
And bolted
And barred

So what is it you're after
When you're just sitting there?
To obliterate a few minutes ?
Closer to not being there.
Jimmy silker Jun 26
When you pick things up
But then you put them back down
You've got to weigh them
In a way that
Gives you the right somehow
To be the architect
Of your dreams
To do it without care
Also yer own downfall
To roll round
In the ***** laying there.
Jimmy silker Apr 27
To be in a place
Where you feel
The warmth and the grace
Is a thing that
Don't often
Get replaced.
Jimmy silker Feb 3
I used to buy my Herbert
Off of
Tommy Steveo
A formidable
Sharp streetwise old hippy
Didn't take any or give no *****
But he wouldn't stiff you or take no ****
A beautiful brash soul
Always driven by reason
He had a memory
I could barely believe
Knew facts of which I could not conceive
From every match
That the reds ever played
Answer never delayed
Instantly dragged out into the smoke
He saw Buddy Holly at the Philharmonic
He had a light for a young McCartneys Chronic
And he had the best ****.
Jimmy silker Jun 29
He beat em all
Way beyond the practictal recall

Cant be ignored
In spite of all implored
Thats how it went down
Right down to the ground
When any decency
Went beyond
Ultrasound.
Jimmy silker May 14
To be called a murderer
In some fields
Is the highest
Compliment
Comedy
Philosophy
With no
Personal intent
Like Bill Hicks
Talented beyond belief
With a selfish bent
It comes home
If you listen enough
It's a big tent.
Jimmy silker Mar 17
When the acid that burns your heart
Ceases to swell and ebbs back
Enough to let you roll onto your side and drift off
The sleep of the just
Is not really it
But you snore and dream
Like you haven't for a bit
The Googly eyed slumber
No longer suppressed
Is now vivid
And scary
And funny
I guess
Alien invasion
Slasher movie
Murderous governance
Brought about by myself
Seems to be the preponderance
While friends and family
Point and laugh
And look on.
Jimmy silker Nov 2024
How was your thanksgiving?
Was it the same as it was?
Did the people round you
Seem the same as your default?
Was it somewhat different?
Did you repell Or were repelled?
Is there an opening leading down to worse than hell?
Can youse hug it out?
Can youse talk ?
And ring the bell
Of the bell that can still
Can ring
Or will youse slowly go to Hell?
Jimmy silker Jul 6
Measure your life in tournaments
Month long gorges
On the ball
It helps you
To quantify
And organise
The thoughts
And memories
Of it all
That make up
Some bits o your life
Comparative by recall
The moments of high drama
That held you fast enthralled.
Jimmy silker Jun 29
When you fly
Across oceans
Do you know where you are?
This goes out too all
Is this what you thought of?
Did you think of the mountains
And the people
There in
Did you think of your footprint
And it's pattern
Therein
?
Jimmy silker Nov 2024
I knew a man called trvevour
Way back then through the mist
I know
yet it's so hard to convince
The people who say that
Trevour exists
Is a complete fantasy
My *******
They twist
Jimmy silker Feb 21
I knew a fellah called
Henry Dumbell
His son changed his name by deed pole
And died in a skydiving accident
Six months later.
Jimmy silker Dec 2024
Nobody likes a ****,
They told me right out front.
Jimmy silker Mar 2
The name couldn't be less fitting
As I perch here alone
Flat calm
Just past sunset
Glowing embres in the gloam
The low headlands in silhouette
Look like the start of 2001
I Sit here in silence
And wait for the man apes to come.
Jimmy silker Aug 2024
I had a lot of time to think
But I didn't do much thinking
There wasn't much to drink
But I did a lot o drinking.
Jimmy silker Jun 8
In the universe nothing's above the law
Yes
But on Earth nothing's stronger than love
That's my case sir
There in that tear drop
Gripped in a rose's glove.
Jimmy silker Apr 21
Ansel Adams was ******
Once people started getting into
Ansel Adams
Cos they went to where he composed
And thought
Anyone can do this.
Jimmy silker Jun 23
The things that
Bounce round your brain
And then are gone

For a millisecond
They meant the world to you
But you can't recall them now

You can't render  it
Out the void
If you could
It would deft
Be employed

Cos it was the coolest
Thing that there's ever been
The fact the world can't
**** on it
Seems
Somewhat obscene

But it will happen
Again and again
And you've got the *****
To call humanity
Your friend.
Jimmy silker Nov 2024
When you in a hole
Stop diggin
I've heard a lot of late
Made me think
What if I didn't?
Shovel through
The earths great plate
Where would I end up?
Which is the antipode I seek?
Once I've dug around core
When my journey is complete

I would surface in New Zealand
Well... the South Pacific sea
The nearest town is Papatowai
Its population just forty
I could talk to the ghosts
Of Moa
Tell em of the Liver birds at play
We could watch the world's
Last sunset
As the ocean drains away.
Jimmy silker Mar 5
When you know what you don't
Written in an alien font
There is a way to describe
All that which is known
Unless what you write down
Is like throwing a bone
To the eager dogs
Who've been
Hungering alone.
Jimmy silker Mar 8
Pick a friend
Any friend
And shuffle em
Into the pack
Could end up in the front
Or way in the back
Might be lost in the middle
Or at any point hence
If your buddy holds the crown
Could you mount a defence
Of him and you
And his family of course
Would you see him on the battlefield
On his big ******* horse
For they say
A fully shuffled deck
Will never be dealt the same twice
So if youre planing a dynasty
Seek different advice.
Jimmy silker Aug 2024
He was sick of his religion
He'd developed apostate cancer.
Jimmy silker Aug 2024
Oh lord,
Won't you take me down there some time
Oh lord
Won't you take me down there
I'll sip the scotch slow
Sup the pint low
Oh lord won't  you take me down there

My king you not haf
You once was you see
My king you not haf
You once was
Your majesty faded
No beauty
Brocaded
My king you not haf
You once was

My love I pledge all o my heart to you
My love I pledge all o my heart
It's cramped
It needs mending
Left ventricle descending
My love I pledge
All o my heart

My friend you the ghost o a ghost to me
My friend you the ghost o a ghost
Cold silence it grips me
Inertia it trips me
My friend you are the ghost of a ghost.
Jimmy silker Aug 2024
Never turn your back on love
The ******'s just not to be trusted.
Jimmy silker Jul 23
To know my shadow
Without the light
That casts it

Venal
Cowardly
Oh so tragic

To look true
At the self
The other one

Uninvestigated

Then know that it's half
Of Owt
Perchance created.
Jimmy silker Aug 2
Sometimes I feel
I can see through the air
Not the air
But the air
Beyond light
The one
That gives life
To the world that sits over
This Earth without blocking
Our sight.
Jimmy silker Feb 5
Give me a well honed
Katana
And I'll walk any street
Straight into
Well deserved defeat.
Jimmy silker Jul 28
To crest the hill
Then down again
And do that
On repeat
If you see
Something new
Each cycle
That's really
Quite the feat
A way
To stave
The ennui
To brace
Gainst
Earthly care
Then come to terms
With the notion
That no one knows you're there.
Jimmy silker Jan 15
Here comes the chosen one
Back for another go
The disc beard man
Has laid them low
So he had to depart

For Canaan calls them home
A new land by the water
That they might grow in strength
That they might  be what they aught to

Led from the desert harsh
To the haven
Of the bay
To begin again in hope
To bask in the nurturing  rays
Of the soon glory days

So King David has returned
And that fits
For he is
Between Moses and Christ
To these poor Evertonians

Last seen approaching low
At the bottom o Shaw St
Riding side saddle on his ***
He'll be there by this evening.
