Long Screenplays Poems

“I knew then it was the last novel I’d write,
couldn’t go elsewhere due to my contract.
They wanted books like I’d written before,
but there was no way I could ever go back.

“Yet there was a loop-hole...

Hey!

Who?
Me?

Yes!
Do you remember back
when you were reading The Human Comedy
and thinking you would always live on a planet
where a few great writers
lived royally and with vast wealth
comfortably above yet among the huddled hungry masses
just waiting...

I Will Smile

I smile, to dispense out the rage in my soggy heart!
Most folks smile, if they're dwelling in cloud nine.
I will smile, when I get that kiss from my child hood crush,
Like Bow Wow...

Bits and pieces my 
Dreams come only in flashes
Dashes of Techicolour and 
Surround sound can’t be 
Dreams my eyes are open

eaten by bulimic...

 and find the...

I've seen this story, 
once or twice,
woke up replaying it,
in the middle of the night,
the title of this, still not sure,
it's a scene my head, 
I haven't thought out before.
This Theatre that I visit,

Broken Souls  

I talk to producers
of books and
screenplays 
My tormented farm
life strayed my way

Strict sheltered
home and harsh
realities
Today’s modern world
and mental tragedies

Constantly under
pressure, was pure
and healthy
I find I was
repressed by
everything I’d see

Never exposed to the
world...
