Sometimes words are not enough, To tell you how much I care, For you to know how I feel, You would need climb inside me. To become one with my body, To connect your mind with mine, Our nerves need join together, Our hearts to play the same…
Few things live, In this old shed, Little movement, Plenty of dead, Dark corner, Musty smell, A beetles leg, An ants shell, Predator supreme, Rules this place, Eight tiny legs, Vicious face, Web of torture, Silk so fine, Waiting patiently, …
Spiralling out of control, Your life tumbles to the ground, With a crash you hit rock bottom, Not a friend to be found, You smile at strangers, Hoping for a friendly face, Need to start making changes, Get out of the rat race, Adrenaline …
(mildly amusing sexual content) Bed time comes late, For the people of the night, Sometimes it's fate, To be caught in their sight. To flee, to run, Is all you can do, But they'll have their fun, As they start to hunt you. Do you stand y…
Will you take care of me when I'm old? Stay true to the vows you made when given the band of gold? Will you push me around if i'm in a wheelchair? Will you do it without complaint, just to show that you care? Will you feed me my dinner i…
Live every day to the full like it's your last. Try not to regret the things you've done in the past. Be true to yourself but remember to think about others. Never lose touch with family…
My addiction affects me all the time, It's taken over my life, When I don't get my fix, I spend every moment thinking about it, It consumes me, Overwhelms my thoughts, Minutes become hours, Agitation sets in, My heart thumps in my chest, …
I asked you how much you loved me, And as your lips spread in to a grin, You told me that you love me more, Than a kangaroo loves bouncin'! This made me giggle like a child, And it made you love me …
Come Astaroth, come, Appear unto your disciple, Show yourself my infernal Duke, Daemon, stand inside this circle! From deepest, darkest Hades, To this living, human land, Make your long tortured journey, Guided by my wand and hand. Two c…
Ever make a big decision, And regret it right away? Confusion reigns in your mind, Don't know which way to sway. A life changing choice, Only you can decide, Want to be on your own, Or have someone by your side? Full of indecision, Can't …
I'd love to live in your world, If only for a day, It must be more colourful than mine, From the wonderful things you say. Not a day goes by without a story, Tales to amaze, Your excuses for being late for work, Sometimes leave us all in a…
There's a little switch In the back of my head One side says normal The other jealousy paranoia and dread I like to be normal But I don't make the cho…
Emptiness inside, My loved one is away, Staying with family, Just for a day, I miss her so much, But she's not there to stay, I just can't wait, Till she comes back to play. Don't feel complete, When she is not here, Lonely and sad, Coul…
Like a macabre dance, Of the living dead, The skeleton walks, Held by an unseen thread, With rattling bones, And shaky head, No skin to hold him in, No organs need fed, Into the night, His evil to spread, To scare a child, Or an adult inste…
Gradually I feel once more, Bit by tiny bit, My soul acquires a shape, Spectral image, Shimmering, Solidifying, Into the living world I trespass, Needle-like bolts of electricity surge through my newly acquired mass, Becoming what I once wa…
Suddenly the night sizzles in an explosion of light, The brightness startles wildlife, Birds take flight, As day turns in to night, A dizzying display of magic dances through the dark, A fox dazzled, Eyes wide with fear, He darts for safety…
The darkness is my friend, My closest companion, My staunchest ally, It wraps itself around me, An unseen blanket, Covering, Comforting my soul, Calming my nerves, Caressing my senses, Hiding me from those who are searching, I feel alive in…
As I walk along, The lush green grass, That bends under my feet, I close my eyes, Tilt my head to the sky, And bask in the midday suns heat, I say a prayer, To some unknown deity, And then leisurely take a seat. I watch the birds, Fly high…
To go back, And change the past, This simple thing, Is all I ask. To return, To a life once great, Keep it good, Not make a mistake. We have to live, With the things we done, Won't be together, Won't be as one. For you, My heart will yea…
I cried last night, For the first time in years, Sobbed my heart out, Cheeks running with tears, Breaking up is always hard, Even when you know it's right, Things don't get any easier, When you're out of sight, This pain is strange, Because…
Fiery pumpkin head, With your burning eyes, Flames dancing inside, Like a million fireflies, Your sharp crooked teeth, Framed by a grin, Malevolent and twisted, Holding evil within, A pact with Satan, On All Hallows Eve, Worshipped by witch…
A rustling noise on a chilly autumn morning, A rabbit foraging for food, The crunching of the dead leaves under his feet. Startled by my steps, He starts to sprint, Dashing for cover, Darting left and right, His warm breath leaving a cloud…
In an old mansion, Abandoned by life, Strange happenings, Troubles and strife, Nothing lives there, No mice or rats, No insects or spiders, Not even bats, Furniture in place, An old rocking chair, A lonely telephone, Unused dinnerware, No …
Nowhere to move, You struggle slightly, Hands above your head, I grip them tightly, Your eyes wide, Anticipation and fear, Your lips dry, My head moves near, Your face turns away, My hand holds your jaw, Porcelain skin, Without a flaw, I pr…
The old man sits, In a lonely room, Empty inside, Never a groom, On his chair, He watches tv, No one to love, Nowhere to be, Decisions he took, Choices he made, The path he trod, Games he played, All these things, Have left him alone, Hopin…
Sometimes when I feel down, Suffering from depression, I wear a constant frown, As if sadness was my mission, I don't set out to be like that, It's not my life's obsession, To wake up with a scowl on my face, I don't want to give that imp…
Lying still and calm, This lush green grass, On this mellow autumn morn, What will come to pass? No breeze for now, No rain in sight, But the day is still early, What will be here, come the night? My path today, Stretches ahead, With it's t…
It's that moment, That one defining moment, The moment that we knew was coming, The moment that a relationship ends, It had to happen, Too many wrong things had been said, Too much mistrust had built up, Too many tears had been shed, Too ma…
What if I die during the night, How would I feel tomorrow, Would I be missed, Would I be mourned, Would people be filled with sorrow. If I passed away quietly in my sleep, What secrets would my corpse keep, Tales of fun, Tales of woe, Tale…
Dark liquid with your frothy top, Sitting there in a plastic cup, You wake me up when my eyes are open, Your bitter taste catches my attention, You're the only breakfast I ever want, No toast, cereal or even a croissant, You're there for me…
I hate the drudgery of my working day, Most people I know are the same, Unfortunately it's the modern way, Wanting it easy and searching for fame, Why should life be this hard, So thoughtless and uncaring, Shouldn't always be on my guard, W…
You're the last thing I see Before I close my eyes At night when I go to bed You're the first thing I see When I open my eyes When I wake up with a sleepy head You comfort me as I hold you tight Your tender touch is feather light You soften…
Love. Loves in town tonight, A love that feels so right, When you feel your loves been found, Makes you glad you came around, Love. Loves in town tonight. Pain. Pain is in your heart, A pain you hoped would never start, When you feel so mu…
When you say you love me I believe you But when I say I love you Do I believe me Emotions are complicated Mix ups happen They can be hard to fathom Or be overstated Could it be infatuation That I feel Should I carefully conceal My intention…
Nations suffering hardship, Tribe fighting tribe, Races facing misery, Terrified families hide. Why do you do nothing? To stop the slaughter and the war, Why not intervene? To help the homeless and the poor. People locked in suffering, Te…
My life began before yours, A long road walked, Full of twists and turns, Easy paths, And hard, A worn, tarnished coin, Then you came, Standing out, Like a shiny new penny, Confusion reigned, Feelings for one I shouldn't have, But they were…
I showed utter dissatisfaction, With the hospitals reaction, To my myocardial Infarction, That I had at work today. They say it wasn't a heart attack, And that I'm just a hypochondriac, So go away and don't come back, And sent me on my way…
Light rain, Grey clouds, Weather warning, Another typical Scottish morning!
Painful thoughts punch through my mind, Like twisting tendrils of acrid black smoke, Probing and poking, Searching, seeking. A presence passes through my body, A fleeting figment of my morose mind, Showering my senses, Feeding my fear. Sp…
Can you berate fate? Or is it already to late? Do you just sit and wait? Or do you ingratiate? Can we delegate our hate? To those that can't partake? Should we smile and fake? Or just postulate? Maybe we should designate? To Destinys mate? …
This place, so dark, Stone, so cold, Sanity departs, Madness enters the fold, Your face, scared, Where once, was bold, Your teeth, bared, With fear, not cold, Inside, seeks comfort, A dream, be told, Your skin, taut, Enter my fold. Your he…
Why are my cats always so lazy? I'm not complaining- it's just envy! Lounging around getting fed on demand, Oh why can't it be me! Licking and preening, Constantly cleaning, Except of course when they're not sleeping. Why are my cats alw…
The dreams that come to me in the night, Do appear more real than life itself, Closing my eyes I venture into a world of freedom, A new and vibrant playground, I can run forever without tiring, I can fly without having wings, I can fight of…
Your beating wings, Your low humming drone, A wasp appears, Where there was none. Darting over here, Spiralling over there, A sugary treat, Seemingly no care. A slap of the wrist, A raise of the arm, Why do people do it? You mean them no…
Take me inside, Comfort my soul, Calm my beating heart, Never release your hold. Your breath into mine, Our arms together, Gripping so tight, For ever and ever.
How much torment can one person take? Torn between head and heart, A decision that only I can make, And one that's tearing me apart. Do I plod along with the steady life? Or pick the path that's exciting? One that will give me a lot of str…
The magic dances in your eyes, Like lightening bolts across a multicoloured sky, Shocking my lips into action, And teasing a smile from my sullen face. A bewitching twitch of your nose, Sends a rush of warmth through my entire body, My he…
I succumb to the dark, My stomach in turmoil, Burning acid washes through, The hurt won't go away. The tunnel awaits, My mind never still, Lightning bars it's progress, Why do I feel this way? Restless and dead My brain can't decide, …
A memory in time The picture in summer Becomes winter
You comfort my soul with your tender touch, Your smile soothes my fears, Your thoughtful kisses overwhelm my lips, When you hold me, our bodies entwined, The whole world disappears.
