    Broken Dreams

    Those broken dreams
    Such shattered hopes
    Sad tears in streams
    Like fraying ropes
    With pain and fear
    And her innocence lost
    No one can hear
    So what’s the cost?
    Her broken dreams
    With no going back
    A nightmare it seems
    On this one-way track
    She’s lost forever
    In this tragic life
    Trust? No never!
    Slow cuts with a knife
    Unable to talk
    She uses her pain
    Wants to reach out
    And live again
    But she shuts out this world
    And closing the door
    Her eyes are blank
    Can’t take any more
    She slowly turns the key
    In the lock
    She sits on her bed
    And looks at the clock
    At twenty to ten
    She lies on the bed
    Says a last prayer
    Which sticks in her head
    When broken dreams
    Were all she saw
    This life meant nothing
    And there was no more
    She ended it all
    To stop her pain
    So she could be free
    No more insane

    The Waiting Game

    Those long empty nights when I am alone
    I stare out the window I stare at the phone
    Watching each cloud passing the moon
    Counting the stars by myself in this room
    The cool wind that blows dries quickly my tears
    I hold on to each breath and swallow the fears
    Eyes of dark glass reflecting each thought
    Hands feel so cold, heart feels so fraught
    When I am alone in my heart in my head
    I wait for the phone but tonight it seems dead
    This day seems so long, will it ever end?
    Forever I’ll wait for you my dear friend
    Filling the time as best as I can
    I wait here in love I wait for my man

    The End of My Rainbow


    Like bloodied meat
    Dark and raw
    On a butcher’s slab
    My heart, my core
    Battered, bleeding
    My broken heart
    Such torment agony
    Torn apart
    Stop the hurt
    Death’s looking good
    Of this poor soul
    That’s turned to wood
    Stick in the knife
    All things are bared
    Would I feel it?
    Would I have cared?
    From the glorious sun
    To the marrow of my bone
    Tarnished, blackened
    Turned to stone
    Where did joy go?
    Brief, fleeting and rare
    Like a fading rainbow
    It soon wasn’t there
    This must be love
    Turned inside out
    My Heart on a slab
    My life in doubt
    At the end of my rainbow
    The butcher will wait
    My love it lies bleeding
    At heaven’s gate

    A Noisy Kind of Silence

    A noisy kind of silence
    Sits inside my mind and breathes
    As though a wind is kicking up
    A pile of fallen leaves
    Empty words and silences
    Lie dormant and unsaid
    Like an empty tea-cup
    That’s on your side of my bed
    Outside of me I feel no pain
    No nothing there at all
    Just numb, blind and deaf today
    I hide behind this wall
    Surrounded by the noise of life
    Running circles in my mind
    Scattered pictures of your face
    Memories that I should hide
    The chilly morning wind that blows
    Stirs shadows of the past
    Frozen in a moment
    Times remembered in the dark
    Voices, music, words and songs
    All take me to a place
    Of memories of us back then
    Lines etched upon your face
    The years and fears are carved in flesh
    Tell stories of love lost
    With empty eyes and lonely soul
    With this love it was the cost
    Hearing all those voices
    It penetrates and stings
    The silences and solitude
    This bird with broken wings
    A crazy kind of silence
    Sits heavy in my heart
    Each laboured breath I struggle with
    A deadly poison dart
    Wading through the endless days
    I harbour tears unshed
    Memories lie withering
    Hold back the words unsaid
    With blurring thoughts and stinging eyes
    And pain that knows no end
    I take each breath and walk each step
    All my love to you I send
    With heavy heart I start each day
    And hope this ache will go
    My frozen tears on a winters’ day
    Like bloodstains in the snow

    A Million Thoughts

    I shared with you a million thoughts
    As the words I could not speak
    Hidden within the walls of my heart
    Behind the barricade of thorns and broken glass
    Sharing a lonely desolate path
    You walked with me awhile
    But the time and place were wrong
    In another lifetime you said
    If things were different you said
    All the reasons why not
    Not all the reasons why
    And all I needed to say
    Then stuck in my throat
    For then I knew it was too late for us
    Words trapped forever unspoken
    And all the hurt and all the pain
    Drowned in silent tears
    As you walked away intact
    Leaving nothing but a shell
    Blowing quietly in the wind
    And a million thoughts
    I can never speak aloud

    Just a quote today...

    You are the reason I open my eyes in the morning
    The reason I remember to breathe
    Without you
    Life is not Life
    Without you
    I would simply cease to be

    Nowhere to go
    ===========

    You caught me
    like a well written tune
    brightened my life
    like a sunny afternoon
    before the chorus
    I was hooked all too soon
    and darling
    I had to dance with you

    You took me
    on a magical ride
    caught in the music
    with you by my side
    the smile on my heart
    had nowhere to hide
    and darling
    I had to dance with you

    Why the melody ended
    I'm never going to know
    was I dancing to fast
    or singing too slow
    alone on the floor
    with nowhere to go
    and wishing
    I was dancing with you.

    Guess who is awake at 3.00am again in the mornings...


    This is my Titanic...

    I jump
    I have left the safety of my ship
    It is sinking, I can see that
    No longer safe, no longer indestructible
    I chose to jump ship
    Treading water
    The Life-Raft is close in this treacherous sea
    But each time I think I am safe
    Or I try to climb aboard, the waves tip me off
    I feel I am slowly drowning
    I am no longer safe
    I see the sharks in the moonlight
    In the distance waiting; waiting
    My life-belt barely keeps me afloat now
    Just keeping my head above water
    Just keeping me alive
    Stopping me from going under
    Stopping me from slipping away
    Fingers aching and stiff from holding on
    Heart aching too
    Weary, terrified and frozen to my bones
    To my heart
    I see the fear around me
    And decide to take a chance

    I close my eyes and pray

    I let go
    I stop fighting

    The sea gently carries me away
    I become quiet
    Floating

    In the distance I see a light
    It slowly moves towards me

    And I let go
    I don’t struggle anymore
    I know I am safe

    Re: A Thread For The Budding Poets/writers Etc..

    I wrote this 4 yrs ago when I split from my partner and began to see my son at weekends :

    I see my Son every Weekend. This is how I feel when I speak to him, see him and when I say goodbye. But perhaps no words can really convey that.

    Aortic Rubble

    Monday rebuilding begins
    fragments bonded together by a voice
    heard every evening
    talking about nothing
    Tellytubbies, nursery, liking broccoli

    Tuesday progress is slow
    you tell me swimming was fun
    mama got wet
    splash splashy splash!

    Wednesday the structure takes shape
    Nursery day
    all clap hands!
    each minute quickens healing
    each word uttered brings our time closer

    Thursday almost done
    crawling walls in my head
    pacing, pacing
    screaming for release

    Friday all is complete
    I see you and the touch paper is lit
    holding you and electric flows
    feel life once more

    Saturday
    My Day
    parks and swings
    alphabet spaghetti and jigsaws
    Who’s been eating my porridge?
    Nighty night little man

    Sunday and the cracks appear
    ‘bye-bye daddy’
    a heart–shape building crumbles
    I exist but do not feel
    Monday rebuilding begins

    FOOL?

    Am I ‘fool to think it’s over’?
    That line I’ve heard before
    Am I fool still loving you?
    As you walk out of the door
    I watch your face and read your eyes
    Just try and wonder why
    I keep the faith and have a hope
    That how I feel will never die

    Is it wrong to want somebody
    So much you’d pay a ‘price’?
    Of lonely years spent all alone
    In my bed that feels as cold as ice
    Foolish dreams of an innocent heart
    That one day you could be
    The one ive always dreamed of
    Should I Wait forever?

    ....Maybe

    Re: A Thread For The Budding Poets/writers Etc..

    SEPTEMBER

    What had you given me at the end of this year?
    Well, you saw all my pain and shared all my fear
    You opened my eyes to a beautiful world
    And buried my hurt with a kind and wise word

    You took me to places that I’d never been
    And showed me that love was all that it seemed
    A pure joy that bubbled and rose like the sea
    Just gave me your smile, said that you wanted me

    I never wanted much more than your time
    More precious than diamonds in the deepest dark mine
    And that it was enough and that I’m quite sure
    You gave me your best and I couldn’t want more

    You gave me such peace in my body and soul
    Just holding my hand you broke thru’ the wall
    With your blinding faith, understanding of me
    Your truth and your love were totally free

    You gave me much more than I ever asked for
    A year of your life and the key to a door
    And all I can give you as you give me that smile
    Is my love for free til that very last mile

    So Thank-You, for giving me your time you see
    You are all I’d want for eternity
    You wanted to give me much more :but Why?
    Your gave me your love and it helped me survive

    Twelve months has flown by since last September
    And sharing that year I will always remember
    You opened my eyes and made my heart sing
    I think your time was really quite something!

    You made me so happy and shared such emotion
    You filled all my skies like the deepest dark ocean
    You truly did everything a lover could do
    And that’s why I know, I truly love you

    My poem, no name 2 it im new 2 writing poems


    He sat there eagerly, with the light slightly dimmed, with crimson red rose petals scattered upon the floor, music quietly playing in the background, he begins to hear the faint sound of her delicate footsteps as she begins to approach the door, as the door handle starts to move, his heart begins to race the closer she approaches the louder his heart beats, the door opens and he cant hold his lust for her any more, he stands and begins to approach, he puts his arm upon her shoulder gently pulls her towards him and he can feel her warm breath upon his face, he firmly pushes his lips against hers, as he moves his body closer, she reaches her arm around his back slowly moving it up along his back as he begins to shiver, he begins to feel a cold rush, as the blunt kitchen knife tears through his tender skin the warm blood runs down her arm, a slight felling of sorrow fills her body for a man she once loved, a faint smile as she leaves his body draped in blood on the silk that covers the bed, where she spent nights in his arms then looking at the bed begins to prove her anger as she lashes out reaching for picture of her in his arm, the glass smashes as if in slow motion begins to hit the floor, leaving the room she trips over the table, the burning candle falls onto the bed where he lies silently, she walks down the cold dark streets to look back to see the flames rushing into the sky, sheds one last tear turns towards the darkness of her soul and walks off into the night...

    Version 2 of a song written in 2003

    Someone called 911
    ------------------

    Someone called 911
    the sheriff came with his gun
    he blew the bad guy all to hell
    (bass) but he shot me as well

    a the nurse who tends my wounds
    now lives in my best rooms
    she moved in, with the Doc
    (bass) He gets nursing,all around the clock
    Hey there nursey, what about my wounds
    (both) 911 is strictly for the loons

    and the man who came to fix the door
    is living on my second floor
    he says that he really likes view
    (bass) his wife and kids, they like it too
    Oh don't call 911, whatever you may do

    They will protect me, thats what they say
    The sheriff and his deputies have all come to stay
    except when there's trouble, they're forever near
    (bass) but | don't want them here
    They will protect me, thats what they say
    (bass) I wish they'd go away
    (Both) Oh we wish they'd go away.

    Autumn

    Watching the dawn its blinding skies
    A squirrel leaps before my eyes
    The autumn leaves so gently fall
    And slowly build a golden wall
    As summer cools and slowly dies
    So winter comes a dark surprise
    Chill winds that swirl and idly blow
    The faintest tang, the smell of snow
    Remind me of my youth, the days
    Of dreams and hopes, a misty haze
    Life’s never-ending ebb and flow
    Watching the world, I change and grow
    Above the clouds the bleakest sun
    Now weak as summers on the run
    The autumn rears its’ knowing head
    As flowers die, laid in their bed
    Rain starts to fall and as they drown
    They curl and wither on the ground
    And as this world is slow to turn
    We all look back and quietly yearn
    To feel the sun upon our skin
    Remembering the warmth within
    We watch the leaves turn red and gold
    And shiver as our bones get cold

    but he really should have known better.

    and circulate to most,
    how join his little vendetta.

    Silent Tears

    I hear the sound of silent tears
    I look but cannot see
    I hear their sound and feel them
    They come from inside me!
    I look around to find the source
    I can’t believe I’m shaking
    They feel just like a raging river
    In a nightmare of my making
    A constant stream so blinding
    A flood from deep inside
    I cannot lose my heart again
    I cannot lose my pride
    The silent tears that well up
    From the bottom of my soul
    Leave pools of disillusioned dreams
    A life without a goal
    I have to believe that I can stop
    This waterfall of tears
    To know that I am whole again
    And haven’t wasted years
    To fall in love and lose that love
    Could make me sink and drown
    But I CAN fight with all my strength
    I’m out but won’t be down!

    havent posted anything for a while...


    Confusion


    Broken Damaged Shattered
    Twisted Bent and Torn
    Savaged Ripped and Battered
    Fallen Crushed Forlorn

    Shaken Bruised Tattered
    Tormented Sad and Sore
    Screaming Shouting Crying
    Shaking Shrivelled Raw


    Darker shadows in the night
    Rain without an end
    The narrow twisted uphill road
    No light around the bend


    Forgotten Frozen Aching
    Desperate Dark and Blue
    Lonely Sad and Hurting
    My heart since I lost you

    ... lets just say Ive picked up my pen again..

    Untitled... 16.8.08


    I havent stopped crying,
    .....yet,
    on the inside
    on the outside
    and I havent stopped wanting you
    .....yet

    I stare at the blank walls
    they stare back

    I havent stopped seeing you
    .........yet,
    on the inside
    on the outside
    of my mind
    just you in all your beauty
    not yet

    The walls close in around me
    Im just a prisoner here

    I havent stopped loving you
    .........yet,
    one day
    maybe
    the pain will be gone
    and so will you
    but not just yet........
