My Cat

Our Joe's died
20 Years I had our Joe
And then she died
My baby got sick
My baby was in pain
It's just a cat
But I pleaded with god
Make her well again
She wanted my bed
I'd sleep on the floor
She could have asked for the world
I'd have given her more
She lived my life
All the years with me 
And even in pain she stayed by my side
Then she asked me
By the look in her eyes
I'm tired I hurt
Please let me go
And it's just a cat
And I had to let her go
But my hearts broken
So dont try to tell me
That it's just a cat
Cos it was my cat 
My cat and I know

Insanity

The deafening silence, listen's my tear's
The shadows on the wall, Act out all my fear's
The comfort of the sheet's Secure in my bed
With the ramblings of insanity
Swimming in my head

The aching in my body, that can'ot find sleep
The storm unleashed from my eye's as I weep
The memories, like a film, on the ceiling I see
The haunting cold cruel eye's
That never set me free

The hidden hand's
Waiting to rip me apart
The chimming of the clock
That summons the voices to start

Not knowing. Unable to comprehend
If this is a dream, if it is real
Just staring in darkness, unable to feel
Is there an end
A release from it all

Or am I to be locked in a prison, a cell
Or what If I die
Would I find peace after all
Should  I just shut my eye's
And slowly, slowly fall

Tonight I Write a Poem

Tonight I'm there again
Wondering why, wondering where, wondering when
Tonight all I've got
Is to write a poem again

It might not make sense
But you'll understand
It's the place where we go
When there's no one else here

Just myself and the page
And the people who know
time will pass
That's what they say

But stuff happens
to you and to me
And when that stuff happens
This is where we will be

So as I said
It don't make sense
But if your reading this page
Then your in my place too

Poem

A lot of meaningless scribble
To anyone but me
But these are my thought's my pain
At this period in time, my reality
Ton's of emotion's, carried deep inside
Untill loneliness, make's me want to confide
But there's never a friendly ear
For me to tell about my fears
Just a pen and some paper
Sometime's smudged by the tear's

Take Heed

Four wall's of Heartache
Four wall's of Hell
All expectation's die
In a cold prison cell

Smile

Get up in the morning
Go shopping and smile
Come home, tidy up
Laugh with friend's and smile
Switch on the tv
The news is all bad, but smile
Take a bath, wash your hair ,and smile
It keeps them happy, when you smile
They think your happy
So maybe the smile's worthwhile

Grandma'

Grandma is old
Grandma is tired
Grandma just sit's
And rock's by the fire

Grandma say's yes
When mother say's no
Grandma was born
Before  telly's , You Know!

Grandma know's everything
And she dosn't even go out
Grandma just smile's
When daddy would shout

Grandma's are special
A gift to us all
Grandma's are Grandma's
Alway's there when you call

Awakening

Roll like the ocean
Forever washed into infinity
Cleansed of each sin
Stripped of humanity
Stretching my soul
Feeding on air
Floating along on the breeze
Not a thourght, not a care
Experience's savioured
Everything free
A bird flying high
The colour's of a tree
Tasting the life
That's been dormant too long
A rebirth, An awakening
With all inabitions gone

Addict

The needle's rust'y
He don't care
Hasn't eaten for day's
Not even combed his hair
It's difficult now
To mix up his smack
His hand's tend to shake
There's a pain 
Up his back
But soon he'll be fine
When he's just had this line

When he's just had this hit
He will get the fire lit
But his arm's are no good
Got to chop up some wood
So he'll stick it in his leg
How many brain cells
Just died in his head
The fire's lit and he's feeling great
Got to go, Got a meet
Need to get some more gear
Will he be here
To need it next year

This Son Is Mine

I hid my smile
Because you were sad
I tried to comfort you
But inside I'm so glad

"It's just not fair"
You shouted out loud"
"I wanted to go, 
to make you so proud"

"Dont worry son
Your better of here"
A relief I felt
Released from my fear

"It's what I trained for"
"It's all I know"
Thank you lord
For not letting him go

"You'll get a job"
"There's lot's of thing's you can do"
"But I'm a soldier mum"
"My buddies , The time's we've been through"

"I will pray for your buddies
Please god keep them safe
But you are my son
I  can not lose you

It was totally stupid
I just twisted the wrong way
Torn muscle's in your back
Is all the doctor's could say

So I'm sorry son
That your feeling such pain
But your back will get better
And you'll be well again

It's such a shame you hurt your back
     Inside I smile
But,   It stopped  you  son
From being sent, to fight in Irac

And I'm sorry,  so sorry
For the people, who are there
But this son is mine
I'm a mother, I care
