"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Where is it you’re going
He asked
To the mountains
She replied
I need the peace and quiet
She said
To get through the day he died
This Next Wee While
If you
notice
that I’ve
gone
There is
no need
to worry
Sometimes
I have
to run
away
From
situations
in a hurry
But
do not
doubt my
return
Please,
fret
ye not
I will
be back
very
soon
To
fully
reclaim
my
spot

If we’d had a plan
When all this began
Perhaps we could both advance
But as things are
We’ve gone too far
And now none of us
Stand a chance
Obvious
At a
different
time
In a
different
place
The
answer
would
stare
us
Right
in the
face

It really isn’t a ‘bargain’
To buy when and what you’re told
It’s just a load of shit
Pushed by capitalists
Who revel in taking your dough
Every Friday Is Black
Fuck off
with your
‘limited’
deals
The endless
offers and
pathetic
sales spiels
Think about
those already
in over
their head
And go hawk
your wares
somewhere
else instead

All I get
If I look up
Into the twilight sky
Is a fucking crick
In the back of my neck
And bird shit in my eye
Somewhere Out There
I’m sure
your star
shines
brightly,
Up
there
in the
sky.
I try
to search
for it
nightly,
Yet it
always
passes
me by.

It doesn’t hurt as much
To look nowadays
But I’ll admit
That I don’t too often
As some of the things
We got up to back then
Are probably
Best forgotten
Polaroid Memories
I can no
longer
look at
at your
face
My
eyes I
have to
sheathe
For
tears
begin
to flow
at pace
And I
can no
longer
breathe

Many more moons
Have passed since then
And plenty of suns
Now too
In fact it’s been
1,458 days
That I’ve been here
Without you
Xxx
Many A Moon
As that
day draws
ever closer
The pain
cannot be
avoided
To think
it was just
a year ago
When my
whole world
imploded

I think we both knew
Deep down
That she would soon
Become another
That you’d be left
A husband bereft
And your kids
Without their mother
Now I know
That she had longer
And to her death
You had all faced up
Still it pains me so much
To see you
In the Under 50’s
Widow’s club
The News Nobody Wants
I hope
it all
goes well
today
I hope
with
all my
heart
For I
couldn’t
bear
for you
To live
as I
now do
And
have
your lives
torn apart
(Originally Posted 28.11.2019)
You always were the joker
Who we could count on for a laugh
So it’s been hard to watch you
Being literally torn in half
But you don’t have to pretend with us
Or put on your best gameface
As we know, one day, that humour
Will return to its rightful place
GameFace
All I do is let
people down
They want
me to smile
But I can
only frown
For I no longer
have the energy
To be the person
they want me to be

This is still my answer
To most questions nowadays
All since that day
He went away
And I inherently changed
Passive
Who knows
And, quite frankly,
Who cares

You can say sorry
All you want
And truly mean
What you say
But when you’ve been burnt
All that pain and hurt
Doesn’t ever
Just go away
The Bargain
Who knows
when our
time will
come
But I fear
it’s not
just yet
For you
have to
forgive
yourself
And I
have to
forget

One day I
Will tell the world
And dance in the flames
As your name burns
My Lips Are Sealed
Don’t you worry
I’ll never tell
How much you hurt me
And put me through hell
But not to keep
Your good name intact
But more to ensure
You never come back
(Originally Posted 26.11.2020)
It’s been a long time
Since I’ve seen you
But don’t think I have forgotten
How truly rank
And repulsive you are
That even your insides are rotten
Grandiose
I’ll always
be the
better
person
But
there’s
no need
to sweat it
I will
always
be hanging
around
To make
sure you
don’t
forget it
(Originally Posted 26.11.2019)
Please don’t think,
Darling boy,
That you’re special
In any way
As you were not
The only one
Who saw to me
That day
Sinderella
Is that
really
the time,
he said,
I should
grab my
things
and leave
Well don’t
let me
keep you,
she said,
as I’ve
got others
to please

In fact I’m nearly spent
But there will always others
Who will use this place to vent

Your words leave me floored
What else is there to say?
Other than please, give me more

It’s like saying hello
To your oldest friend
But seeing them is conflicting
You enjoy the sting
Of the comfort they bring
But not of the wounds you’re inflicting
Scabs
Picking at these circles
All itchy, bloody and raw
Wondering why
The fuck am I
Doing this shit again for

There is no need
To update this one
The title says it all
Imprisoned
We’d like to think
We all have a choice
But for some their hands tied
Their opinions
They cannot voice
As their rights are being denied

If anything was found
To be written down
They’d hang us both the same
So we must stay indoors
Until the laws
That seek to divide us are changed

Why oh
why can’t
you write
such
poetry
for me?
For our
love is
forbidden
and so
could
never be!

Conversation should be encouraged
As healthy discourse can be great
But when you’re asked to provide
Basic human rights
It should never be a debate

we
ever
put

When
you

you’re

Early this morning
Whilst stood on the street
The plumpest wee robin
Landed at my feet
It looked like she’d managed
To escape her cage
And that she was ready
To face winter’s rage
Unfathomable Cruelty
Only I
know why
the caged
bird sings
It’s because
some bastard
clipped it’s
wings
Yet as the
tears rise
and the
anger stings
The bird
knows it’s
just one of
those things

A tale of love
Unrequited,
Ever so sad

Delighted
To have experienced it.
Otherwise,
How would I have known?

It is all
Well and good
Spending time
With old friends
Yet it’s always me
Who leaves emptily
When the night
Inevitably ends
Catching Up
It
was
so
good
to see
you
But
now
I’m
glad
you’ve
gone
You
remind
me too
much of
my life
before
And
what
has
since
gone
wrong

It was so much easier
Back then
As we fell in love
With our friends
Now don’t get me wrong
The drugs played a part
But we were also more open
To sharing our hearts
Love In The 90’s
No one could wear
A band t-shirt like you
With your longer hair
And grey cardigan too
That smile so shy
Those Doc Marten boots
It is no wonder why
We were in such cahoots

Protecting yourself
From someone else
Doesn’t make you mean
It just shows that you
In my view
Are great at forward planning
Weak
I really am sorry
I cannot take your weight
For my arms are too broken
From carrying my own

You may well have been dead
Nearly four years to the day
Yet you still have the power
To take my breath away

I found your

my pocket
Now I’ve
started to
read it
I don’t
