In My Own Time Poems

All I wanted to do is lip-sync, you may say
In my tiny room, in my own time, as you may say
Your wish is my command, is it not?

Who will say that they are nominated people for welfare?
Not to discriminate, not...Read More

I used to try and numb the pain with this brandy I'm sipping 
Why am I holding on to everything that's missing? 
I got so used to being in pain, I fell in love with the painful scars
I think I've...Read More

Today I am a woman...
Not because my lips are red
and my breasts are full-
for my lips have been fooled
and my breasts have been ruled...
Not because my shoes are heeled
and my hair is long-
for those shoes lead me down dangerous roads
and...Read More

Religion binds us in guilt

Using sins it restricts

Religion with its dogmatic doctrines

Feels the need to control everything

Demands we worship at their feet

Expects supplication and blind belief

Encouraging you part with cash

Like that will bring redemption back

No matter how devoted you may...Read More

Inside my crib you’re unaware 
Judging by what I wear 
Anger and resentment I swear 
You see me smiling, happy 
I appear bubbly 
Only 
You never realise just how lonely 
Tears form behind my eyes 
You don’t realise 
I am...Read More

You're about to see there's no difference between a tortured artist or a Wounded animal 
Picking up a pen was the only way to make my depression manageable
At times it seemed that beating depression wasn't Fathomable
The hurt poet sometimes has...Read More

Do Tell the therapist I'll get there in my own time
I'm just not ready to let you examine my mind
For so long I hid behind being insane
Bipolar so the thoughts are illogical in my brain
Half of me thinks my poetry...Read More

I went out for a walk in the evening
Kept my pace with the sinking silent sun
My wife called she went for a brief shopping
And would be back home before I return.

I came back in my own time not so quick
Found...Read More

On a lonely night you're the one I think about
You're who I'm talking to when I pour this ink out
I think about you on a lonely night knowing we can't repair it
I want us to grow slowly, but you're ready...Read More

If you're going then I really need you to be gone
When I have a weak moment, I need you to be strong
I need you to act like you don't care, while I learn to move on
So if I call you,...Read More

Don't play my heart, or break my heart
But that's like saying don't erase my scars
You can't feel happiness without pain
Have sunshine without rain
If I put you at ease, do you promise you won't make it hard?
Will you allow me to...Read More

Heavenly beings.


Eternal in Heaven.
The day is warm, but the air is cool,
As I sit here watching an angel, who is sat upon a toadstool.
She plays the harp and whispers a song
And all around, children and their families are sat listening...Read More

I draw their spirits close to me and breathe,
and still I find, there's something to believe.
I need their energies to make me strong.
I hear the subtle echoes: Samhain's song.

Nobody feels my reason - hears my rhyme.
My rhythms only work in...Read More

There is a secret place, 

out in my own time space.

You have to enter in a fast pace,

like you are trying to win a race.


I entered through a sinking door.

Inside there are many wonders galore.

Many things in store.

Nothing in there...Read More

When I think about what I use to do, what I wanted to do, and didn’t do. I think, "me oh my", was it all a lie. But today is a new day. When I think about tomorrow, I forget...Read More

life's passions all absorbed on green grasses 
as the innocent treasures tammed and measured
accordingly we shy away the aftermass of past
stoned bridges enhance the connection point 

while the cold calmness unwind the myths 
for our must we define a place...Read More

What if I confessed my love to you,
Tell me just what would you do?
Would you match my heart with yours
Or would you leave me lost and torn?

What if you found you felt the same
And had only fate to blame?
Tell me...Read More

 I don't always know how to tell you whats on my mind
 I'm slowly sayin' goodbye to the life I'm leaving behind
 In my heart I know for sure that its time to let it all go 
 But...Read More

Now I am in my own time
My mind drives in overtime
A crashing of cards 
I play a game of patients 
Decisions made 
So easy to turn around 
You say the words I longed to listen too
So wanted to hear from...Read More

Here I stand before you with so much racing through my mind,
You have always been the graceful patient one; knowing I would come in my own time.
So much time I have wasted, with so much I need to say to...Read More

It came to me in madness as my eyes began to dry, a tender love song playing and at last I
did not cry! I reached the gate of solitude and found peace in my own time, how gracious
are the Love...Read More

Who am I  to criticize others,
I'm a poet in my own time,
my own place and my own world,
I just write what I see, feel
          and hear.

My poetry may be different,
I...Read More
