Long Rev up Poems

Ted’s libido has now gone astray
He refused a quick roll in the hay
So what could be the cause -   
It’s the male menopause   
He’s been grumpy and snappy all day!

A breathing machine
is what I've become
no engine to rev in anger.

A tower of bones
with hands to shake hands
but no strength to hold onto purpose.

These feet making tracks,
they don't fill big shoes
and the shadow I cast...

Revving Up Life

Half asleep by my window
watching swirling snow
outside - memories drift
like a slide show, pictures
of my youth so long ago,
almost as real to me today
as the events were then.

Snippets of childhood – 
I am...

They roam the streets with such evil grins,
Spreading mayhem wherever they've been,
Smashing pumpkins, toilet papering trees,
Stealing candy from good little girls and boys,
They are known in these parts,
As the pumpkin gang.

They ride their bikes throughout...

Here I am, 
trying to push juice 
on the nakedness of paper, 
trying to rev up 
the tip of my tool. 
Ink. Words. My hand. 
Nothing. 
Nothing is born. 
My spirit cries, 
and mourns over...

legs churning
lungs burning 
feet heavy
heartbeat unsteady 

another mile to go 
toughness time to show 
now or never go for the glory 
thats the story 

late night hours 
no fear, never cowers
shifting gears
to the crowd's cheer's...

Wake up fresh in the morning, free from daytime's infections
   Splash a pot of coffee on your pristine complexion  

Rev up your car's engine: Send a cloud of smoke into the air

 Midnight silent


And as the sun burning
My flesh is redden and blacken
Pangs and pains
Bruise skin

Like a kingdom full of sunlamps
Brightly
Eyes blinded by the lights
Skin torrid pains
When I thought of the sunlight

Deep into that darkness waiting
Blinded...

Merry Go
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

AAAY..
It is the pluck of dawn
In full mettle moxie
Morning is examined
YAAY..
I am afresh and wake up
I am breathing again
Ready stable and able
Bouncing and determined
First eat is the porridge on the table
Aay say I...

My "Blue" Equinox sitting in the driveway;
Can't wait to get in it and enjoy the day.
I am going to rev up the engine ride all over town,
To show off the "Blue" that I finally found.

“It's minutest strand is not in our hands."


We traverse the day,
Our engines set in motion and fuelled by it, 
We retire to bed,
Like a parked vehicle,
All our mechanisms come to a halt,
Oblivious of anything else,
We...

Seize the day! My soul screamed as I got out of bed.
I was barely awake, but I felt she had my health in good stead.
What should I do first? I asked, with a lazy day...

Best be those who mind their tees and traps
for a green man lurks in the swamps
wanting to win over the lives of the tramps
mucking their way to rev up the amps.

Life costs plenty true and...

This morning I am not in the finest mood
Can’t be a lack of sleep or the lack of food,
I cannot account for my apparent malaise
Could be I’m going through a difficult phase
Mostly discontent with myself,...

Inner commotion creates ripples
Our weaken system cripples
Differences break us apart
