Because Of You.

Because of you, I can now see
You’ve given me your energy
Because of you, I am now free
Free from the hurt and misery

Because of you love came to me
A love that’s bound by honesty
Because of you, I came to be
Being with you is destiny

Because of you, I have no past
You’ve given me a love to last
Because of you, I’m no outcast
My love for you is unsurpassed

Because of you, Life’s not a strain
You took away most of my pain
Because of you, I feel again
Feel love for you I can’t contain

Because of you, I now feel strong
Stronger to know our love’s not wrong
Because of you I now belong
Fate brought me to you all along

Life & Other Such Things…

Is it better to give than to receive?
I raise my voice a lot more than I should
Why do I often have to change my mind?
I may not be as tolerant as I could

I don’t wanna keep doing this anymore
I wish that I could get better and get out of this hell
I don’t wanna live like this and that’s for sure
I wish there was something, anything, to make me well

I’m not like the man I used to be
Why do I think that you’re all laughing at me
I’m not him anymore I’m not he
Is there something about me that I can’t see

You think my situation is funny
I’ve watched many setting suns
You think I’m in it just for the money
I thought you were my loved ones

You’ll get yours, and we’ll get ours
The sweetest drinks are after hours
Do I write all these poor attempts at poetry
Due to my ever growing insecurity

The Fun Times

Don’t look so smug
I won’t move over
You’ve had your fun, and with each day I keep on learning
I’m staying here, so that we can all stick together
The Sun will rise, and our world will keep on turning

May you read my blog tomorrow
Even though you’ll wonder why, from time to time
You can read all my other posts
You may believe you know me, but that’s fine
For the fun times

I’ll post a blog, don’t tell my mother
And I’ll blog on, until the day that you won’t read me
I’ll carry on, maybe I’ll tell you ’bout my brother
Better not, I never know where that might lead me

May you read my blog tomorrow
Even though you’ll wonder why, you do some time
You can read all those other posts
I do believe you know me, and that’s fine
For the Fun Times…..

I Need To Be Me

I want to be me, I need to be me

For that I refuse to apologise

I’ve broken the chains that kept me tied down

No consent needed to watch a sun-rise

I have to be me, I’ve got to be me

You know, deep down inside, that this is true

You say that you love me, just let me go

Free my mind, and perhaps I’ll still love you

Nothing I did was good enough for you

You always thought that I was a dreamer

Dreaming that you’d say those three little words

I was your pupil, you were my teacher

There is still love for you here in my heart

Please let me be me, I need to be free

I don’t intend to run away from you

I just need to be set free and be me

Come with me, take my hand, I’ll lead the way

Sometimes in life, we have to take a chance

Stop trying to keep up with the Jones’s

May I have the pleasure of the next dance

Can you hear the music playing our song

Que sera sera , what will be will be

No more chains tying us down anymore

I need to be free, I need to be me

A Memory Gap

There are large gaps in my memory

I can recall the day you left me

The radio was playing our song

You left me empty, and all alone

I hit the bottle, drinking on my own

Drinking to forget, the love I’d known

 

There’s no love here, only emptiness

Nothing here for you, just bitterness

You broke my heart, but it did not die

I’m over you now, and that’s no lie

Pictures of you I threw in the bin

I always hated your dimpled chin

 

Standing there with that look on your face

Why are you here, infecting my space?

When you left me crying on the floor

You hurt me so much, now there’s the door

Loving you was my only mistake

I was sleeping, now I’m wide awake

White Hats, Black Hearts?

Where have all the old good guys gone?

What have all the new good guys done?

Were the good guys really that good?

Are the good guys in a foul mood?

Their “White Cowboy Hats” going grey?

Who’ll live to fight another day?

If ignorance is trully bliss?

Can I give the order to “Dismiss?”

One more war, ending childrens lives?

Tanks, soldiers, rifles, guns, and knives?

Looting, murder, rape and pillage?

This was once, a peaceful village?

Mothers with babies, lost and scared?

Crying out loud “We thought YOU cared?”

A Peace Treaty that has been signed?

But will it bring THEM peace of mind?

Another day, the fog of war?

Another choice, just like before?

Another way, killing no more?

Another voice, settling a score?

Differing ways, different times?

Peace-Keepers with mountains to climb?

Miss the start, now don’t miss the end

Has the Human Race got a friend??

Situation Vacant…

Health, education, Social Work, and the Voluntary Sector

Sign on the dotted line, more info. please, a local inspector

A Property Surveyor, and A Fleet Support Co-ordinator

A Contaminated Land Assistant, P.A. to Chairman & Director

A Respite Support Manager, and a Business Advisor

Asbestos Co-ordinator, and a Community Neighbourhood Manager

A Director of Finance, and a Financial Controller

A job is a job, and you could be onto a winner

Don’t go to an interview dressed up like a dogs dinner

The winner doesn’t always take it all

You don’t really have to keep your eye on the ball

Don’t get your fingers in too many pies

Don’t expect a politician to apologise

Does a stitch in time really save nine?

Is what’s yours is yours, then what’s mine is mine?

If you spare the rod, do you spoil the child?

Do you know of anyone, really, born to be wild?

Drive You To Drink…

I was stupid, yes I know
To drive your Ford Mondeo
I was going far too fast
I had done this in the past
I’d only had a few beers
It gets rid of all my fears
I never saw the baby
Was I speeding? Yes maybe
I was texting on my phone
I’d been drinking on my own
The car would not stop in time
A dead baby is my crime
I’d downed a couple of beers
I’m sorry for all the tears
I did not mean to hit her
I’ve had my chips and Bitter

I don’t drive now, I’m a fool
Taking chances is not cool
Now I’m sitting in my cell
In my head, I burn in Hell

Life At An End

Hello again my faithfull friend.  

I’ve come here to annoy you once again.

Don’t worry friend I only tease.

I’ll sit and rest my dodgy knees.

I’ll have to pay the doctors fees.

Hello my friend, I wonder why,

When all around are happy, I just sigh?

Everyone will get their share.

Pizza Huts are everywhere. 

Have you got a slice to spare?

I need joy, I want fun,

I’d like a home in the sun.

Don’t dwell too much on the past.

Life passes us by far too fast.

When you go to church pray for me.

Best wishes to you, and your family.

You teach your children right from wrong.

Let them play, they’ll get along.

I won’t ask them to sing a song.

Hello my friend, don’t be so shy. 

Ballroom dancing, now that’s what I should try.

The entrance fee is very fare.

Ballroom Dancers Everywhere,

When you see them I’ll be there.

I seek joy, I like fun,

I’m just sitting in the sun.

Dwelling too much on the past.

Life has passed me by so fast.

Hello again, my faithfull one,

Took a chance and followed you to the sun.

You picked me up when I was down.

Made me smile instead of frown.

You are my favourite clown.

Hello my love, you know I try.

I can at times make you laugh, sometimes cry.

The children singing everywhere.

Music and love in the air. 

The end is near, and I don’t care.

I found joy, I found fun,

Now I’ve found my setting sun,

I’ve lived my life to the last,

It has just gone by so fast.

Live your life, and have fun.

Be careful in the sun.

Once another day has done,

Your family is number one…………

A Gay Virgin?

What am I thinking of?

The past? A long lost love?

I need help from above

Just to give me a shove

I’ll travel near and far

To where the lovers are

Take a spin in my car

To catch a fallen star

I don’t know what to do?

Is my love something new?

Are we the chosen few?

Drink Champagne from his shoe

 

Do you think that I’m prude?

I’m just not in the mood

You’re being very rude

I thought you understood

I can’t see you today

Tell me to go away

Sorry, what did you say?

You think that I am Gay?
