Best Derek Poems

My untamed heart, 
ruled by unruly wants
Sometimes in tatters, 
but flatters and taunts

I played at life...
but life played me harder,
Lived bet to debt...
in life's Russian roulette

Chorus
I'm like a ghost ship, 
stranded on breakers
searching for life, without any light
I rummage through...
my Psyches ruins
Dreams duel disasters, 
but...

In loving memory of Derek, 1932 - 2021, and Pauline North, 1931 - 2021

I know what I like, my love
And I like what I see
I wonder if you’d like to take
My hand and dance with me

We’ll marry in September and
Go laughing by the sea
I wonder...

Derek runs 26 mile marathons,
With his nerve-damaged right arm
Anchored in a sling: solid sounds, 
‘Cos a truck did cause him harm.
 
The accident changed his life, 
But he can’t remember it, recall, 
It ended his life as a joiner, Fife, 
And now he sells used...

Jeter Derek: the legendary champ
led the Yankees to a sensational victory,
defeating the Phillies
at City Field in the 2009 World Series!
And the crowds revelled
from their stands;
and he waved his hand,
and smiled proudly,
holding and cradling the championship trophy...
driving all the ladies wild! 
Jeter Derek made history 
by...

My name is Derek
I'm laying in the grass
Atop a massive cliff face
Waiting for time to pass

Come lay next to me
Tell me how you've been
Set a towel down
Or you're gonna stain your shirt

The wind here is cold
Just like this whole town
And I'm still in shorts
Losing feeling...

This pulsating inside my chest,
The subtle touch of your aged hands
I cannot help but beam,
Merely thinking of your devious smile,
And the way your bulky arms encase me
The clash of our hearts together,
Sends me to wander free in my utopia
The one where only you and I...

Derek tried to satisfy his mother, so he gave his horse a drink.
Then he knit the horse some earmuffs, they were pretty soft and pink.
You need to give the horse a lift and a break said his brother.
He looks ridiculous carrying that horse, argued Derek’s...

Congress had the decency 
To INQUIRE into Chavin's brutality

(It is not all police are fascist thugs!)

Philonise said Chavin planned it
(Congressman Nadler was shocked)
"They worked at the same club,"
George Floyd, aka Perry
Was friendly, "spoke to everyone,"
He was a Security Guard, George was
To be cuffed & held...
