Premium MemberRetired Traveller

I’ve finished with travels, for I can’t agree
With the reasons I’m discriminated
Won’t pay for the visa a notable fee 
Won’t wait in the queue of migrated
I’m blamed for the crimes which I didn’t commit
Stigmatized for a thing they call “nation” 
I’ve nowhere to go and I’ve no one to meet
My train doesn’t stop at your

Premium MemberNOT FINISHED YET

She smiled as she looked at the old man sitting across the room
with whom she’s shared a life for 50 years…
50 years of joy and laughter mixed with a sprinkling of tears.

Just looking at him sometimes can cause her memories to stir.
She remembers, as if it were yesterday, the moment he proposed to her…

How he

Premium MemberHenry Never Finished Anything

Henry never finished anything
He always had eight to twenty projects going
I am in the middle of that one, he would say.
And that one, and that one and that one.
If he was a murderer the world would be a safer place.
I never knew him to take anything to completion.

'It' is Finished

My life slows down
more days in medical care than at home,
experts can’t track 
what makes my heart tick like it does.
My failing mind loses weight,
I’m moved to auxiliary care
longing for the end.
Do not grieve for me,
my life on earth is finished
I’m ready for heaven.

Premium MemberPalandrome Finished Soon

Dad was going to repaper the wall.
Mum held the ladder, so he did not fall.
Will it be done by noon?
Dad smiled and did say "soon".
Speaking loud “keep it level” Dad did call.

Mum unhappy - planned it red all along.
Dad "asked what made you sad, Wow what is wrong?"
He completed the deed.
It's a rest he did

Premium MemberIt, Not I, Is Finished


Isolation breeds loneliness and fear
Trust is our great wall of defense

Indeed, 'IT' can be finished, but we need not be
Salvation is not about us, but what Christ did for us

Faith and grace have to work together
I cannot succeed without help from others
No human weapon against us can 'finish' us
I may fail, but I will never

When the Story Was Finished

Better than before
maybe this is the best
we doing our thing
and I must confess
i heard your tenors tone
through the cigar smoke
I laughed along when you
told that joke
you know the one with
the two baritones
the one who loved the soloist
and who wished to be alone
when he serenaded
the pretty woman
all stopped to see what
was going on
she smiled one day
and

Premium MemberI've Just Finished Recording An Album of Post-Prison Singles

these songs are about wizards (mostly)
the untroubled child sleeping peacefully

and when the new washing machine
arrives at the same time as the food delivery

you do wonder if the men at the door
exchanged pleasantries 

did they make eye contact
did they ring the door separately or 

one honk of it was agreed
non-verbally, or verbally

or with a wink, fist

Premium MemberThe Five Senses


Darkness fell like the heavy cloak of fear,
Bursting all around the cross, 
So I could see the grief erasing His life,
His grace, though, still glistened – sweating
Breathless mercy, even in this state
When absolution meant giving up the moment
Breaking through the darkness, vanishing 
From the earth, dying – in the ultimate sacrifice

Pouring from hearts, tears clung

It Is Finished

Remember that you are loved. You are worthy. You are not alone. Take care and stay safe. 

Memories from 2020: 

There are many people struggling with the seemingly hopeless situation that they are in. The pandemic has just piled on the pressure to existing challenges. 

There's so much focus on trying to remain optimistic and

Clegg Finished the Legs of Greg

Mag's lover hasn't been seen since.
Mag does nothing but in pain wince.
Her tall Greg was her world,her Prince.
"Once dead Forget A Come-Back means! "

Hoe was popularly Greg's foe;
Thus,his dad's farm refused to grow.
A lot Greg had slept on a mat
And guessed not he'd be adding fat.
Off he had to go for slimming
And with Kung Fu

Premium MemberIt Is Finished


No one knows how it feels
To be perfect, to be without sin
No one knows how it is to be faultless
Flawless, the finished work

God is still working on each of us
He isn’t finished… we are not complete
When we are whole, without imperfections
We’ll be there with Him, in a home called heaven,
So sweet that homecoming will be!

No
