Think of the buzz of having an affair
the excitement, nothing can compare
sneaking out,
to put it about
can't get enough,
of their bit of fluff
stuck in the home,
their mind may roam
tired of a partner they no longer desire
it's a new lover they now require!

(Typing for a friend)

What is an affair of the heart
Is it lust reduced to an art
systemically breaking
that all love is mistaking
just a desire for love being real
or loving lust just for its zeal
"stuck in the home
thier mind may roam"
But real love is all they desire
No other lover do they require.

(Typing for a romantic moron)

If only the politicians
had been brave,
and didn't try to save people
with one foot in the grave.
for the old and the sick
some shed a few tears,
but the economic fallout
will haunt us for years.
the lockdown it turned out
was worse than the disease,
it's brought the country
nigh on to its knees...

 

[LadyOnArooftop]

When your words
become distant friends
who seldom visit you,
When all days are one
and all times the same,
and what you put down
you can no longer pick up,
remember that you,
now forlorn,
who used to be a writer
once made life that littler bit brighter.

 

[Moriarty]

Today is the day
My life will change
Because its not yesterday
Yet it feels like today
Another yesterday
Perhaps tomorrow I will change.

""In God's field of Beauty, at the edge of the stream of life, I was imprisoned in the cage of laws made by man.

"In the center of beautiful Creation I died neglected because I was kept from enjoying the freedom of God's bounty.

"Everything of beauty that awakens my love and desire is a disgrace, according to man's conceptions; everything of goodness that I crave is but naught, according to his judgment.

"I am the lost human heart, imprisoned in the foul dungeon of man's dictates, tied with chains of earthly authority, dead and forgotten by laughing humanity whose tongue is tied and whose eyes are empty of visible tears."

All these words I heard, and I saw them emerging with a stream of ever thinning blood from that wounded heart.

More was said, but my misted eyes and crying prevented further sight or hearing.

Above it all, I often recall
Meditating up on the rooftop,
still irate that it didn't even stop.
A tear will come to my eye,
as I look up there in the sky.
You were so sensitive, so tender,
so easily hurtable,
Struck down in your prime,
by a flashy convertible.

mine..
in the expanse of vast ubiquity...
there lies a truth of great profundity...
a kaleidoscope of epiphanies.
illuminate the soul's sanctuaries...

through the labyrinth of worldly knowledge,
we seek the essence of true homage...
in the crucible of fate's alchemy,
we find the core of our legacy.

oceans of complexities untold,
in the depths of wisdom's stronghold.
through mazes of uncertainty,
we find our path to eternity...

so let us embrace this cosmic dance,
and seize the chance to enhance,
the tapestry of our existence...
in the quest for transcendence.

new 1 I wrote drunk about how I feel RE government right now...

in shadows dark.. the corrupt government reigns
a web of deceit where morality strains.
they speak of justice while their hands are stained
and with power and greed their morals have waned...

promises made but always broken
the people suffer, their voices unspoken
injustice, rampant like a poisonous token
leaving hearts broken, spirits awoken

in the darkness a glimmer of hope
for the people rise, not able to cope
united in strength together they'll COPE!
the corrupt government's end is in scope!

so let your voices rise like flame... .
for justice and truth we'll fight all the same
the corrupt may tremble at the sound of our claim
for in unity and love we'll extinguish their shame

in yonder wood where shadows dance
a whisper soft at fleeting glance
the ancient trees with wisdom deep
in silence secrets they do keep

on moonlit nights when stars adorn
the rustling leaves a hushed they mourn
the spirits linger ever near
their presence felt though not so clear

oh natures song so sweet and pure..
a gentle lure a love so sure
in every leaf in every breath
a bond unbroken, even in death

so cherish now this sacred space
where time stands still in solemn grace
and know that in the quiet air
the ancient ones they linger there

1 about Dark matter:
in shadows of cosmos unseen and unknown
lies a force that defies our earthly throne
dark matter they call it... a mystery profound
a veil over universe.. in silence bound

in the beats of rap songs the verses unfold
the language of streets a story untold
weaving tales of struggle... pain and fight
channelling the darkness into words of light

so embrace the shadows, the depths within
for there lies the answer, the truth so thin..
we are the dark matter the cosmic unknown
a universe within us, a story to be shown

so listen closely to the rhythms of your mind
a reflection of the cosmos intertwined
for maybe just maybe in the depths we will find
dark matter resides in the thoughts of mankind

this is about Homelessness

in shadows of the citys heart
where broken dreams and memories start
the homeless souls roam the streets
their existence deemed incomplete

their faces etched with sorrows deep
as politicians softly sleep...
power plays and covert lies
suppressing truths muffling cries

money a tool, to control and deceive
the poor are left.. struggling to believe
a reality twisted and bent out of shape
where power and greed dictate every scrape

cash flows like tainted streams
controlled by those with selfish schemes
leaving the poor to beg and plead
while the wealthy sit fat & feed their greed

but reality is what we seek
a world where all are heard and free
where love and empathy prevail
and humanity's true colours unveil

1 about bacon, because I love bacon:

oh bacon my love fair crisp & so sweet
thy sizzle in the pan, a melody so fleet
thine aroma fills the air with joy profound
a feast fit for a king, thy taste knows no bound

each savory bite, a symphony of delight
oh bacon, thou art a heavenly sight
golden brown with divine allure
thou art the cure for all that ails, pure

oh bacon, how i adore thee, in every form
but especially in a hearty storm
thy salty essence a gift from above
forever cherished forever loved

so here i raise my trident in cheer
to bacon, forever will I hold dear
thy smoky embrace, i find solace and bliss
oh bacon, thy taste, i shall never miss

hope this is allowed should be it's art after all
lol I named this one "Wanker"

in the realm of every day
whispers carried far away
a word so sharp so harshly flung
the sound of wanker on the tongue

cutting like a dagger's blade
leaving scars that never fade
the label weighted with disdain
a curse that lingers like a chain

but who decides what makes a wanker
is it in the eye of the beholder
perhaps we all in moments meek
have played the part however bleak

so let us pause before we throw...
the word that stings that lays us low
for in this world we all must strive
to see the heart that beats alive

lets choose the words that can inspire
that lift us up and take us higher
it's kindness we must anchor
and leave behind.. the label of wanker

I called this "Methamphetamine Unicorn" (because it's about Unicorns & Meth)

warm, the raw meat quivers
in unicorn blood it drips like a river
meth heads dance with no shame
lost in a world without names

the flesh has no life..
purity tainted by strife
methamphetamine a dangerous game
all innocence lost in the flame

raw... red the meat bleeds
on unicorn's soul's the darkness feeds
meths deadly allure
a journey without a cure

in shadows truth lies
innocence shattered the hope dies
raw meat, unicorn blood, and methamphetamine
a twisted chaotic shattered dream

a dance of darkness a waltz of woe
in the heart of a world that can never know
the pain of existence at the cost of sins
as raw meat & meth begins

yet in the depths of this twisted tale
a glimmer of hope, a chance to prevail
for when we smile the unicorns reign
and help us find our way again
