Some days I feel I am bound for glory,It’s not long now,All my dreams will come to reality before me, Then days I doubt all that I am,The critics ring loud inside my head,The ex lover, or the former friend Just a talentless fool who is only fooling himself, There are so many reasons toContinue reading “It May Be Tomorrow”

Taken to the Dump
Put out the trash, All in the black sacks, Last year’s clothes, The old mobile phone, The broken photo frame, bought six years ago in Rome, Might as well throw in one broken heart, A lost soul, And also all the memories to go, Just like all the material things that mean nothing now, It’sContinue reading “Taken to the Dump”
First post this month
Slow Burn I packed up all my dreams, And locked them all away, I vowed never to try again, Not after I failed that way, For years I never looked back, I kept my desire at bay, I wouldn’t let it rise again, I always turned away, But the fire still burned, And slowly theContinue reading “First post this month”
Gina’s Bakery
A small town bakery, That no one seems to remember but me, I sat there in ’96 with a Bakewell and a cuppa tea, The world moved slower, At least that is how it seemed, No phone, no wi fi, no place else I had to be, Time didn’t wait, And it never does, ButContinue reading “Gina’s Bakery”
Home Brew
Served with 19th Century Georgian English Solid Silver, Or taken from paper cups, Drunk by royalty, politicians, working folk and even pups, Made to discuss important business, Or to solve the biggest of problems, A comfort, an indulgence, or to quench the longest thirst, It’s the very thing many people turn to first, Bring itContinue reading “Home Brew”
Night Writer
It’s now the wee small hours in the very early morning as I write this. I have been up now for over two hours. As I write song lyrics, as well as poems and stories, recently I became a paid up member of the international guild of songwriters and composers. While I’ve been writing forContinue reading “Night Writer”
Signal
Red man at the crossing, Just waiting for the traffic to clear, Any second it will go, And I’ll be out of here, Waiting for his green colleague, To tell me when it’s right to go, To cross over the road, To carry on and move ahead, To what lies in the future, I’m readyContinue reading “Signal”
A day of sincerity
If I should die before tomorrow comes, Cry not one tear, Carry on ignoring me like you did the day before, If I should die before tomorrow comes, Carry on laughing, partying and living, With the wonderful friends you said were better than me, If I should die before tomorrow comes, Don’t spend a singleContinue reading “A day of sincerity”
Another taken “from the archives”
Step out into the sunshine, give it a try, Step out into the sunshine, Just do it and you’ll see why, Look, there’s no clouds, no rain, No thunder, no snow, Today there’s just the rays, And the blue clear sky, So step out into the sunshine, And I’m talking about your inner soul, CauseContinue reading “Another taken “from the archives””
Balance Due
The final bill has come due, They want their money, The money I wasted on honey, When the skies were sunny, I’m the one who is feeling blue, the clouds are a different colour today, And you’d be right if you guessed they are grey, But I ate the steak, So now I have toContinue reading “Balance Due”
