Poem

MY FORMER FRIEND!

When first we met....I was merely ten,
Romantic thoughts engulfed me then,
Seductive words, how good your charm,
I heard it from my father's arm!

I looked indifferent when I cared the most,
I acted bravely when I was real weak,
we promised you're my best and am yours,
but I stayed mute when I had to speak.

Reunions are strange affairs
"I haven't seen you for years"

Don't be scared of the dark
Be scared of what it hides...

Their land is destroyed
No love, no home...

The end shall come
And nobody shall be saved...

Each November
We remember
At the Royal Albert Hall
And we remember

With dignity
With respect
They stand in silence
And we remember

In silence
Petals fall
Like crimson snow flakes
And we remember

among the wise it seems agreed
that 'mid the anarchy of over-modern humanity,
there are many promising seeds
which may survive the silicon storm
and (with any luck)
push their heads above the merchantile muck.

Sitting unsoberly at the rear
Of the Auld Shillelagh
I chance to ask about your father,
Dead before I was the
Slightest something
In your young man's eye -
Expecting to hear the
Stories I had heard before
And relished -

i can hardly breathe, ur grip so tite its so hard to fite.
i try to leave but ma eyes cant see, coz these tears stream down
burning ma face.

u make me feel small waiting for me to fall,
in the gutter, to the ground yelling at me dont make a sound

Why do i cry all my tears for you,
It doesn't even matter what you do.....

My uncle Ted is a bit of a saga lout
And has decided to grow old disgracefully
Though he gives to all, his advice and guidance
And always has a quick funny story
He happily spreads news, rumor or scandal

I remember
Those with no future, But only a gallant past
I remember
Those who never lived, To enjoy the fruits of their sacrifice
I remember
Those who will be forever young, Those who will never be old

We Have no Time for Art

We have no time for art
only needed it when we lived plainly, pre TV
in round mud houses or black and white films
Now we do colour on the run like everything else

Once the sun shines in your eyes....

When i wish upon a star,
I wonder who you are....

When the sun reflects in your eyes,
Nothing on earth can make me want to cry....

At night the sky is black....

Somethings are bad,
Somethings are good....

Like the birds in the sky,
And that glint in your eye....
