This poem is kind of a weird one I wrote when I was playing around with different styles and themes of poetry. The two verses are a little disjointed from each other, I think, and it is kind of unfinished - but maybe that is just the way it should be?
This is called "Sadness is Seductive"
Blues from the booze, reds I have bled,
Yellow the perils that roam through my head.
Grey is my day, my mind starts to crack;
I don’t find green serene when my thoughts are all black.
Melancholy music moves me
And hauls upon my heavy heart.
Tearful tunes make thoughts turn torpid,
Calm the centre’s cloying clamour,
Draw out darkened depths and drown here.
Is this why I find sadness seductive?

Love is there, i feel its stare...
Love is where i fear to bare
Love is what i crave inside
Love is what will push me aside.
to want to love is better than to need
to need to love fills them with a dread and they plead
needing something is not who i am..
wanting something is me and im proud
I dont accept the first hello
i wont seettle for less than i know
i will hold my self in until he is found
the one who will love me no matter no sound
I know there is one, who will see me for me
i know there is one, who will never make me bleed
i know there is one who will always stand by
i know there is one who will never make me cry
i know there is one who will laugh at my jokes
i know there is one who will hit at the pokes..
i know there is one who will scoop me inside
i knwo there is one who will help me to shine
i know there is on who will listen and learn
i know there is one who will not let me turn
i know there is one who will hold out his hand
i know there is one who will never be bad
There is one for everyone so i know this for real
i tell all my friends your lobster will feel
he will find you and fall in love. and you will never need to feel so glum..so i will take on board my words
and listen to the sound of the verse
because im not a hard nose cow.. i do deserve to be someones wow... i will find him but i wont look hard.. because I WANT this man by far. i dont need him so it wont be wrong to sit an wait till the wankers are gone. soon he will spot my smile.. and he will want to stay a while.. he will know me soul is true, he will look at me all blue.. he will see under the frown ..is a beautiful girl whos proud. Proud of her to come this far.. proud of her who now is fine. proud of her to stand up tall.. proud of her to never bawl..
THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE FOR EVERYONE... KEEP FAITH..
Once lit the brand
burns bright
No tiny candle this
but unwavering light,
Though at times gutters
it remains alight,
Warms the days
and illuminates the night.
Watch for it ever
keep it in sight,
though it burns ever smaller
it burns ever bright.
Poor Percy
hid in a corner
sick as can be.
Awww Furbs,
Nice to see a different side to you. Well done.
HUG ME, HOLD ME, KISS ME, MISS ME
I want to be alone
lock my self in my room
turn my music up real loud
ignore all things in my way
and throw them to the ground
brake the mirrors
rip the pictures
pull my hair
scream and shout
let me be alone
to brush my slate of anger away
wait until its still and quite
then hug me, hold me, kiss me, miss me.

People see me, think I’m brave. Wonder how she never caves….
People see me; think I’m happy, wonder how she’s stay sunny
People see me, think I’m fine.. Never think to ask me why….
Why are you here my dear, what makes stay.. Is it fear?
Why don’t you go away, somewhere where you’ll find it safe..
But I ask you where is that..? the place ill feel safe at last…
Someone tell me, please I beg… I need to find my resting place.
Im so alone in all this world.. not one person to lean unto..
No family now, they turned there back, my friends, in life they don’t notice much
My babies gone, to another life, one with out me to hold them tight…
No one there to say hey, im sad, no one to say please.. give me a hug…??
Is this it.. is this all I get.. after all ive done an sacrificed, is this the life that I get dealt
Was it worth the pain and tears, of walking away from all that was dear….
Was it worth the deepest fear that life is hell and I came back!
I should of stayed asleep I feel.. where at least I was warm and without fear…
But instead they pulled me back, woke me from my peacefull time.
Made me get up an walk again, made me face the world that’s dead
Dead to me as I to it.. dead as if I was never here..well fuck you world
I ve had enough, enough of holding myself back.
Find the light
Ignite the flame
Shoot for the heart
Bypass the brain
Behind the facade
Through all the pain
You may finally light
Lifes bright burning flame
Burn bright
burn hot
scorched
I retreat.
I watch you,
Yet I cannot speak.
My tongue is tied
And it makes me weep.
Interested in you, I am.
But my shyness withholds me from action.
Silent in the dark
still in action
lost in contemplation
I remain inert.
Cold and frosty
I fumble for the key.
At last the lock turns
I am surrounded by warm scented air.
Rich ruby red wine
warm and full of spice I take to my lips.
I climb the stairs to pull back clean sheets.
I slip in.
I wake to find
the sheets slipped away
and empty glass.
Cold again.
Im confused... is it me?
Am i a fake? a parody?
what is wrong with saying no?
does that word make me sink low?
should i say yes yes yes...
and settle for someone less..
lower than me, or what i need..
would that make me some kind of weed?
I stay along the path i picked..
but at times it makes me sick..
I dont want to be alone...
but i wont lay down until im known!
I was told im a control freak
I shold relax an let them peek..
into my eyes,my heart my soul
but thats private i dont want to shown.
Words strung like pearls
on a net
strong and resilient
I am caught.
Life, what is life really about?
what is are reason for living?
we live to love, we love to live
life is sweet, life is short
so why do we love to live for hurt
so why do we live to love for hurt
life is sweet, life is short
no one knows when love will hurt
we live to learn what loves about
love, what is love really about?
life is sweet, life is short
love your life before its gone!
So I return to my self pitying pen
To wail once more of my despair,
Moaning of what's stolen and what's lost,
Adding up the cost,of my apathy.
Again i cry, why me
And sit inactive,trying to dream my life;
My world as a poem of beauty and joy;
Me,as a man of strength and purpose;
I sit inactive,wailing despair;
And my self pitying pen again fails,
Brings no redemption.
Fuck 'em
and their selfrighteousmoralisticjudgementalhypocritefuckingindination
Fuck 'em , fuck 'em
And their
cosycomfyshittydullmiddleclasscontentment,
fuck 'e , fuck 'em, fuck 'em,
and their
tritedissmissivekneejerkviews,
Fuck 'em,fuck 'em,fuck 'em FUCK THEM.
In a trial and error world
Kangaroo courts and catastrophe
is all I find
In a love 'em and leave 'em life
left unloved
is all I get
In a bright and breezy world
dazzled and windswept
is all i am
Im trying hard this year not to hide...
down into the black inside..
with christmas on its way again,
i dont want to this year wake up dead..
its been five years now since that time
and this year im really trying hard..
that i can do this without fear..
that the black wont take, instead il cheer..
il celbrate that im alive.. its still not quite the path i desired..
but its what ive got, so il make do, with all my freinds who help me through.. most dont know where i have come, and i wont tell them, it makes them glum.. but if you worry dont even think.. cos ive been worse and i still grin.
but still i fink dam this is shit.. i woke up an all i got was this but never mind its too late now.. i wont fall down and lay on the ground, got things to do.. one foot two, keep plooding on till this is through, then il rest an lay my head.. and sleep until my dying day.
babies, bails an little cait i miss you more than words can say, i think about you every day an i wish that there was more to say, you probably think ive gone gone gone, but babies im still here, still your mum.. il always have you near to me, in my heart that beats with me, and while that beats the drum of love, il never stop thinking of you, my doves... our time will come i promise you, we will share the love thats stored here for you, il keep it safe till you are back, and hope an pray you love me back.....
I have seen beauty
not apparent
i have seen beauty
in her soul
in her heart
and reflected in me
