Destination Unknown

Still l'm searching for explanation
      The deepest corners of my mind l roam
       With once again the same old question
       Is anything ever really setting stone

      Trying to form some sort of foundation
       Between mind and heart l can call home
        Perhaps though its still the realisation
        That this cast lm in lve not yet outgrown

       Or could it be that my only real limitation
        lm still too stuck within my comfort zone
        Whenever l am asked whats my destination
        It feels as of yet the great unknown


             Abstracts from poem 2007 where do l go from here

Love

Love, is a state of mind
Love, how you feel inside
Love, can also be blind
Love, a roaller coaser ride
Love, the ultermate high
Love, for which we yearn
Love, you can never buy
Love, something you earn
Love, that's uncondisional
Love, like the marrage vouls
Love, that is though mutal
Love, here no kiss and tells
Love, takes on many a form 
Love, a feeling of self worth
Love, from the day your born
Love, no greater force on earth

Cross Roads

Again it’s another of those episodes
I hate being in the passenger seat
Now we’re back at those cross roads
It’s like we always render on repeat

So where do we now go from here?
Motor stalling, can’t we move forward
It feels like we’re again in reverse gear
You’re struggling and I find it awkward

I know that you always liked to drive
But driving each other round the bend
I ask at what point did we then arrive
Looks like we’re arriving at a dead end

As again it’s another of those episodes
I can’t stand all this pain and heartache
And now we’re back at those cross roads
Let’s us stop now quick slam on the break








About a current relationship/friendship 
Being in a neither here nor there situation some way of clearing
My thoughts a bit but also inspiration a long time coming
With this i tried to add the idea of being in a situation 
..............................................................................................
Who don’t know where to turn >>>>>>>>
Written between august October 2016
Note life’s been so bissy trying to find time to write 
Currently improving reworking old writes that were on here
When got times to do so thank you to soup people
For inspiration if I never found this site would never
Have found inspiration xxxxxx

Poetry

A source of mental therapy
        This has become of mine
          Though its momentarily
          It makes my world shine

          I don't know much about poetry
          Weather profound or borderline
           Through times of adversity
           All I have at any given time

                 You could call my history
                That is put into this rhyme
                Perhaps the other side of me
                Just a little creative in design


                  written 2009 2010 updated part one of a two peace write
                     expressing what writing is to me 
   thank you to poetry soup poets for inspiration over last few years  xx

A Reality Unreal

Stuck it seems in this bottomless pit
     Her life through the eye end of a needle
     What's now become a life time habbit
      For which she'd do anything even steal
      
       But l don't understand ;as l don't do it
        So could not know how she dose feel
        When she tells me that she's lost her hit
        Because it's now started to conjeal
   
         Though at times l would have to admit
        I don't blame her as much those that deal
          I only wish there would be a day she'd quit
          As even now this reality that seems so unreal


          A part two prequal to poem A STARK REALITY
            About a friend ex though l could blame government l
    Letting this go on for so long

My All

Thinking of the foundations we had laid
   But between us as always a brick wall
   These memories that never do fade
    Even now finding it hard to stand tall

    Though she often liked to masquerade
    As if everything to her was just some ball
     There is me trying to keep up the facade
     Even at times when the curtain dose fall

    Perhaps once again l was being played
    As often seemed l'm at her beck and call
     But then hay what a silly mistake l'd made
     To think l gave her my heart ,my soul ,my all

Written early 2002 about exgilfriend perhaps 
devious was her name caught in her web of decit
Now gone worlds apart though one of a kind those times
Some of them divine...

Mother Earth

And now a massive hole in the ozone layer
Global warming, not really mentioned before
Like all the wild life and all of the agriculture
Fossil fuels were burning, destroying the core

Rain forests now fast becoming waste lands
Polluting the atmosphere with our toxic waste
And to think all of this done at our own hands
Before long there won't be any human race

Change's in the weather, changes in altitudes
And this only contributes to famine and disease
If we're so clever why not change our attitudes?
Perhaps were blind to it all, no one then see's

That the situation is only going to perpetuate
We are warned by mother earth, mother nature
We will one day pay for the damage we create
Is it worth doing something now? rather than later

If I Could Rap

If I could rap, it would probably be about how the people feel
Not just any old crap, you know something with more appeal
Maybe this and that but something thats a little bit more real
Talking of the less well off, not the ritches of all the toffe nose

You might scoff, but not refering to women as *****s and hoe's
Some might cough, I could have people in stitches who know's
Yo! I might not be as thick as I look, one of those simple minds
Rifmic?, I don't know, is there a hook, read between the lines

Some might take the mick, I'd better then duck at these times
Talking about adversity and emotion, talking you are in rhyme
Kind of like poetry in motion, expressing yourself in every line
Discussing all the anachy and comotion happing at this time

Trying to get a mesage across but in a different kind of speach
Talking about faith, hope and loss, getting to those out of reach
Some probably could not give a toss, but I'm not one to preach -
like the future the present and the past tense, not any old crap

It would not be the sort to cause offence, not just this and that
It would be something that made more sense,oh if I could rap
      
         Written 2006 between july august probably to many cylibals
                           just playing with words  some words lines
                      became apart of poem I wrote called no deeper meaning
          written 2008 which is kind of like an introduction to everything else Id wrote
                                   and a much better write

Mother Earth

To think what we have done to this plaint
And now it is fast starting to lose it's worth
But we have been warned by mother earth
Just look at the mess we have made of it

At one time we questioned global warming
Now something that's constantly talked about
Fossil fuels burned , at an extreme amount
The fact that we have had so much warning

Now there's a massive hole in the ozone layer
Yeah I know this has all been said allot before
But still destroying everything right to the core
Like all of the wild life and all of the agriculture

Rain forests now fast becoming waste lands
Polluting the atmosphere with our toxic waste
Before long there won't be any human race
And to think all of this done at our own hands

Change's in the weather, changes in altitudes
Which only contributes to famine and disease
Perhaps were blind to it all no one then see's
If we're so clever why not change our attitudes

Or the situation is only then going to perpetuate
We have now been warned by mother nature
If we don't do anything sooner rather than later
We will one day pay for the damage we create 



AGAIN A BIT MORE OF A POLITICAL AND UNIVERSAL ISSUE A BIT LIKE THAT
OF WORLDS STATE,  A JILTED BENERATION , AND ELEMENTS OF LIFE
this I did mention  brefliy in the original version of worlds state but something

A Shadow of a Doubt

A problem to tackle, having this lack of pride
When you know dealing with a loss of identity
It's like that case of doctor jackal and mr' hide
Trying to contain my anger and not get angry

But at times you just want to scream and shout
A test of ones might, ready to erupt, an inferno
Here I am again consumed with so much doubt  
But gone the light as I still lurk behind a shadow

And looking for acceptance approval, I have tried
It's this never ending mission of self discovery
But any hope seems dismal or access denied
I can't remember the person that I used to be

But if one actually knew how I really then felt
Yeah that’s right its like that same old sinario
When still now I'm trying to figger myself out
I guess I’ve lost sight lurking behind a shadow
