Having My Way

I can try

To distract myself

Go to bed

And turn off the light

But I know full well

There’s no chance in hell

I won’t be calling him

Tonight


‘You Spin Me (Right Round)’

With
your
smile so
appealing

And
your
humility
endearing

I cannot
help
but get
feeling

You
won’t
be
home
alone

This
evening

Undercurrent

This isn’t actually

Strictly true

It’s not like I’ve never

Had fun

It’s more that my weakness

For bleakness

Hasn’t ever quite been undone


‘Twilight’

I wish
I could
remember

The
good
old
days

But I
fear they
were just
a lie

For
I cannot
recall

Any
time in
my life

When
I didn’t
want
to die

Anti Bodies

Nothing says

I love you

More than a course

Of antibiotics

Or two


St Valentine’s Day Rebuke

It’s that
time of
year
again

When
love
is in
the air

But so is
Covid,
TB and flu

So please
take your
bullshit
elsewhere

One Or The Other

The urge to bow out

With a bang

Has been never fucking ending

So let’s wait and see

Whether, tomorrow, said spree

Will be a killing or spending


The Spree

I’m
leaving
first
thing
in the
morning

And I’m
unsure
if I’ll
return

For I
have
so
many
scores
to settle

And a
shitload
of bridges
to burn

Whispers

Don’t try to sweet talk me

She said

I’ve met your type before

Just come a little closer

He said

And we’ll see who’s the bore


Once Bitten

I’ve dreamt of you before

She said

And I didn’t fall for you then

Well I’m here in real life now

He said

So let me try again

Happy To Oblige, M’lady

There’s no need to instruct me

I have no inclination to wait

Now that I know you trust me

On your pleasure I will fixate


A Bit Of Rough

Throw me onto the bed

Dear boy

Your body on mine impose

For a meeting of minds

Is not required

Let alone

An entwinement of souls

…In With The New

Who cares if I stayed in bed all day

Watching The World’s Strongest Man

I did it because I enjoy it

I did it because I can


Out With The Old…

At least yesterday

I missed your feast

It was always the part

I liked the least

Faking a smile

Whilst passing the peas

Thank fuck that now

I can eat in peace

Coquetry

Alhough we’ve never spoken

It’s still my daily treat

To remember that emotion

As our eyes shyly meet


After All

You
were
here
last
time

I
clearly
remember
your
smile

Perhaps
leaving
the
house
today

Might
yet
prove
to be
worthwhile

Way Too Eager

Well it’s not like I can help it

Said the moth

To the flame

My attraction to you is hard-wired

Well your way of showing it

Said the flame

To the moth

Leaves a lot to be desired


Wings

Fuck
this
shit

Said
the
moth

To
the
flame

It is
never
going
to work

It’s all
your
fault

Said
the
flame

To
the
moth

For
going so
fucking
berserk

Trying

In vain

To feel alive

There’s one more

Mountain

Left to drive


Hometime

As the hurt starts to subside

And the pain begins to fade

I’m never too far

From the reminder

Grief is still the sharpest blade

‘Purple Haze’

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

Saviours Take Many Forms

I cannot imagine

I meant the Jesus

In the title of this piece

As it’s far more likely

To be a Jesús

Who’d make me go weak at the knees


Christ On A Bike

It
truly
is a
wonder

To see
such a
glorious
sight

My
heart
beats
like
thunder

As my
body
sings
with
delight

“I’ll Just Get The Bus”

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

“Loved Up / Doved Up”

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

Bait

It was never

Going to be you

Not that I

Would’ve wanted to

It was always just

You reminded me

That there would be other

Fish in the sea


Indebted

Thank
you so
much
for
being
you

Otherwise
I’d still
be wandering
around
without
a clue

Waiting
for
the days
not to
feel
so blue

And
hoping
to find
a love
that’s
true

And one pickled liver later

It’s a good job

That I didn’t stop

Or I’d never have put pen to paper


Drinking

I fear
I’ve had
one too
many
tonight

Perhaps
now isn’t
the time
my story
to write

A Way Of Life

Maybe she’s born with it…

Or maybe she’s just clinically depressed…


Moods

Ups and downs,

Peaks and troughs,

But the darkness?

That never stops…

Triple Jabbed

Well that lasted all of five minutes

As after that lockdown was lifted

I was out the front door like a shot

And did I care who touched me? Not a jot!


Deprived

I
honestly
don’t
remember

When
I last
felt
human
touch

And
as
time
goes
on

I’ve
started
to
feel

That
I actually
don’t
mind
too
much

Fun While It Lasted

It wasn’t that

I wanted to stop

But I was scared that we’d get caught

That’s why I knew

What I had to do

Even though it left us distraught


Condensation

As the
wind
rattles
the
window
pane

I
wonder
if it’s
cold
where
you are

Or are
you
now
just
over
heating

In
somebody
else’s
car

The Torrance Inn Champions 1998

It was the last round

Music, of course

When I’d already sunk a few

But it was my knowledge

Of old Liverpudlian Soul

That really pulled us through


The Pub Quiz

What was I saying?

What was I..?

Ach, don’t mind me,

I’m drunk.

*Hic*.

The Good Time Girl

If only I actually was

This little minx that I portray

I’d get my coat and hat

And without looking back

Go have myself a field day


Fuck Buddies

I
won’t
always
be
here,
you
know

For
when
you
feel
the
need
to
ask

Not
while
there
are
more
dicks
to
blow

And
other
glows
in
which
to
bask
