You are no different from me
Go on kill me out of existence
I am a worm in your soul
Eking out resistance
We are not separate
we are the same
I am your shadow born in pain
Life is an illusion
we are never sane
All the soldiers
All the war
Won’t open heaven’s door
I am you and you are me
Cut me and you bleed
Like pomegranate seeds
I am the sky you cry to
I am the god that answers through whispers
and leaves moving on a tree
Sadness echoes what should have been
But the lies have been told and you believed
that you were different from me
Can’t you see I am your shadow with stars
and you are me with all your scars.
This poet
This poet isn’t meat and bones
He feels like cold stone
this poet lacks confidence
Walls collapse and collide
with his speech
with wounds you can only teach
hurt
This poet tells ugly truths
with minimal evidence or proof
he holds it like business card in his heart
life unfolds like a shopping cart
til tart solutions
This poet feels full
his heart holds his universe
it’s his curse
All poems tell a tale
dripping ink
Bleeding from the quill
I can’t even imagine life without those words
but like birds
they have flown
To a new throne
cold and alone…
Lonely people
Only people
with hidden sparks of divinity
looking into the mirror
getting shivers
and quivers
Looking for love but love doesn’t deliver
another endeavour
feat of the gods
the odds
and ends of messages
we send
The revolving door
of lives
when will hope truly arrive
karma
another charmer
but a bell chimes
and it alarms us
we are living fast food lives
Our souls the only thing
that isn’t disposable
water hoses us down
but we can’t get to the deep
conversations
we permanently seek to leave words
of comfort even if they are lies
and we surrounded by people
with mole like eyes.
Forever lonely only children
Unseen
I live in the sadness and the madness of being unseen
I dream
of beauty
having a beautiful woman’s smile in my eyes
starry skies
Holding her hand
but this life happens in the meantime
Unplanned
I am unseen invisible
divisible miserable behind four walls
a boy born with a huge soul
now small
My confidence and ego a full ballon
then shrinking like a soggy deflated one
like lungs I breathe in life
and exhale sadness
madness is all I have but aren’t we all the same?
invisible and visceral ethereal like ghosts
people pleasing and wheezing just to be heard…
The beast hungers
Capitalism will eat us all
First it came in the name of being free
and having dignity
no more slavery
Then it gave us recession
We turned on ourselves
Austerity’s court was in session
boom and bust
lusting after other peoples wealth
Tax havens for the rich governed by stealth
then came war epidemics and famine
we turned on ourselves
shops shelves bare
we only care
about our own
immigrants were the first to be enslaved or deported
then the disabled who couldn’t work
were eaten up but the system
Under the guise of fairness,Eugenics
and pandemics
then the working class were enslaved again
under the pen
and keyboards of corporations
The middle class became the working class again
While billionaires became trillionaires
Meanwhile planet earth festered and burned
and the rich found that you can’t eat digital currency and cash
as we dreamt of a bubble that burst like a infected gash.
Love was always the answer
hatred is a cancer
I wonder when we realise the path we are on
was the wrong one
Sign of the times
Poetry I go to you for help
A daydreamer or ADD sufferer
Tune out switch off
Disassociate cough
wheeze
Run off pace never be free
only in daydreams
only in dreams
only in nightmares
and screams
Empathy searching for threats
which threaten you
answer in delusions cruel
criticise your attention span
you’re thick often man!
you don’t understand the problem
but any happiness we’ve robbed you of
every piece of joy
ever since you were a little boy
your mum was stressed
screaming unavailable with hardly any hugs to bless
your Dad a big brother lost
the price of care and all it cost
Never mind you carry on but the exits
Been hexed
you reach out but you’re vexed
No one can love you
it burns through your life
like a candle slowly waxing burning away
into the terrible unconscious unconfident ways
which have haunted you
anxiety insanity no one cares they are fighting their own battles with despair.
