He is sure.

He is sure.
He is sure.
He is alive and aware,
Aware and alive,
In the here and now.

There and then,
Alive with awareness,
Sure of everything,
Certain.

He is here and now,
He is saying the words,
He is sure and alive,
Aware and certain,
In the there and then.

Here and now,
Always alive,
Aware of all,
Knowing.

He is.

Great Grandfather

The curve of it,

seemed manufactured not loved.

The number awaits its calling.

When you are demanding,

it sinks and sags.

But was there to stop you falling.

It stands stiff and unforgiving,

but folds when told to fold.

It stands harsh with simple living,

but can't help from growing old.

Behind Your Back

“But you promised” I shout.

I refuse to be placed in the trolley’s front and paraded around Asda.

“I didn’t promise you anything, now stop it.”

I get the look. So I stop it and sit quietly.

The supermarket is filled with things for me……….and things for mum.

This seat…this is too small for my chubby legs.

I can’t stop squirming.

Mum turns with a packet and says

“You like mushrooms don’t you?”

I stop squirming………….

Did she say mushrooms? I think she did. Did she say mushrooms?

“Actually we don’t need them now.” She says.

Oh….Phew!!!!

And we go on with our journey.

Occasionally.

When she doesn’t look….

In the go the skittles, in go the penguins.

Quick as a cat.

A great success, she doesn’t notice.

Until…It’s time to pay.

“And what is this little treat?” she says, holding up the bags.

Caught, red handed. With no escape.

But…with a rye smile.

They are paid for and bagged.

Yes!!!!!

I throw myself in front of a doctors car to test the irony
I laugh with my friends to hide all the crying
I think I'm unbreakable but I'm as fragile as they come
I live my life under the false pretence of a life filled with fun.
Read your poem today.

I'm sorry if I never listened.
I know now it's too late to take back those hours
when I was crying in your house
But it didn't go unnoticed my friend
It didn't

I'm sorry if I never listened
I gave you all I could at that point
I hope you understand
I will listen to you all day.

You are my reason.

Man(Kind)???

His mind is elsewhere
and he knows it
His mind is to bullshit to think.

Every girl that he sees
Is a project
All the better when filled with a drink

His mind is elsewhere
and he knows it
His eyes are too bloodshot to care

Every girl that he sees
Is a project
Oh I wish he had bollocks to tear.

Dinner Time Stars

I heard a train go by today
It felt like it was going through my head
As I wondered what it feels like to be dead.

It slapped against my ankles
Its salt seeped up my nose
I heard it from the shell back home.
