My Dog Harry

Born with no love in his heart
He grew by no love from without
A man who did not know love
Alone
Alone
Always Alone
Forever he wondered what 
Love is
Love is 
Love is

One day, whilst walking alone
A creature appeared and approached him
With Love in its eyes
With Love, in its  eyes
White and hairy and a little bit scary
It gently turned into him Giving his legs
All it's weight ,then wide eyed and sad 
Looked up at him, its eyes lakes of love  and 
He fell in 

Falling, shrieking and crying
A new feeling warmed him until
His heart burst through his chest 
And like a swollen red balloon in the sun
Exploded.

Had he found love?
Had this dog brought him love
It felt so heavy and deep he drowned but
Woke with a new companion
For Life
Love on four legs
Devoted ,never leaving, never failing
And he lived a new life of Joy
In Happiness
In Love

Selfee

Tourists in new shoes
Looking for the blues of news
Every one a David Bailey
Selfie mad and share me crazy
Man and woman dog and 
Have , you , scratched that selfie itch?

In the Park

Strolling in the sun
Shine like an icicle
Tricycle shimmers past
Lasting until evening
Sun warms the pavement
Cracks widen and we all
Fall into dreams of
Sun shining on long days with
Nothing to do but lay
On soft grass wondering if puppies
Are angels.

Duck Billy

There is a duck in the park
Called Billy
He is very, very silly
He bobs about and quacks
And Laughs
Then floats upside down
Completely daft.

Words

I heard them when I was small
words of hatred words worst of all
words of steel knives stabbing me
meaningless words  all for me
it didn't matter what they said
the words wanted me dead.

And now Im old it's just the same
words are pain
words are pain,
again and again and again 
and again
words tell me nothing of you
words that tell us what to do
words of war and words that bore
words that go shopping, make cars and houses 
words that tell you what they want 
you to be to buy to satisfy
them words are the evil
these words suck me dry
words are the needles in my eyes.

I saw words in the skies
flying around like ashes from funeral pyres
words of gain words of shame
the same words over and over and over
Again and again and again
the trick is running still
the ears are listenning to the words of will
the will of others in the words
the words of others is your will
words you see and words you feel
words you read and words you hear and feel.

What did they teach you at school
words about words with words
which words to believe
which words to feel
which words to ignore and words to thank
the words the words wanted to be words for you and me
and now
the lies
made of words we believe
we are safe, words
we are happy, words
we are good, words
we are right, words
we are black aqnd white, words

and soon we'll be dead words
and gone to heaven words
god words of love
and stone words our name
telling all our words were in vain.
