Pack bags, tags, rags
For a journey of change
Independence breeds fear and excitement
In equal measures
Heading away for unseen pleasures
A new place, life, existence
Call me Columbus
A central city
The route of all England
But a place of mystery
And poetic character
My unseen home
From an unknown longing
Or a lust
For a place called London
A creative haven
A new leaf for a new life
Culture bounds
From the most unexpected
Corners of existence
The Whitby in Wapping
Camden's screaming fashion
The mix of Whitechapel
Poetry breeds from the experience within
Let London Be My Arcadia
Just months left in a southern city
With a love once lost only to learn
And yearn for the love's return
But on return, is love so honest?
As the love of home
Or the place known so affectionately
For eighteen growing years
Only to migrate to somewhere superior
As boredom's stench wreaks long.
But to leave for bigger things
With home a special place in my heart
Takes away the insult
From the injury of detachment
To forgive and never forget
To cherish and always remember
To never return to the south coast
You will always have a place in my heart.
A young lad grows up on a council estate
Lets call him jack for names sake
Jack was ever ambitious from a young age
But soon Jack's mind turned hazy, grey
After mother turned to drink
And brother turned to drugs
Two coffins were to follow
Jack's heart cut open, hollowed
It used to be a mind full of wealth and smarts
But next it was his turn for the drink and the drugs
Jack was larey, aggressive at times
To make him look big he delved in petty crimes
He followed the scene just to seem cool
Before jack had knew it he was well out of school
Empty handed, for Jack things just got worse
The buzz that he needed coming from kicks more
A web weaved of heartfelt emotions
From a mind set on certain devotion
A mere skip of the heartbeat doesn't cover the strength
A hop, skip and jump showing it's meant
Insanity breeds from this purest of feelings
Thoughts of depriving of it brings with it pains and grieving
The treasure of memories, moments, impurities
One being can rule the mind in entire immersion.
The ill of society expressed through the kaleidoscope eye of intoxication
The chill to the spine, an enraged rant
The colour of skin placed high on agenda
Apparently youth of today make the crime rates
And they'll tell you with each exaggeration of vowel
They'll tell you
That given the chance they would fill their boots
They'd run this country in ways of a general
No fucking about no shit taken back
The heroic saviour of modern Albion
It needs saving, so they say.
Welcome to the Spanish inquisition
Lets wage a war
Lets settle a score
And no hope of draw
Because there's an evil in these valleys
So if I were you
I wouldn't get so pally
Trust no one.
Your friends will strike you down
They will hunt you down
With guns a blazing
Relationships caving
They'll say it's even making.
Because what's the score
Between good and evil
Where will you draw your line
What was your crime?
Because no one has been perfect
In this Spanish inquisition.
Happiness breeds like the plague
Spreads across it's country wide
The polls will tell you that
Social, economical, political
It's mostly mathematical
But no one believes that.
An individual can
Make or break
Take or chance
But for that they must believe
In themselves or others
And to strive for pride of mothers
We're given a short deck
For which we'll all have a short hand
But if we play our cards right
We can put up the fight
And each one of us
Can breed our own plague.
If you play your game you can expect to lose
It's not about how many its about who you choose
A love lost and a girl gained
Drink up spit out the effort made
Or settle down and realise the potential there
The feelings you have and how much you care
It's not for toying, destroying
It's there for enjoying
And the give or take
Should in reality make
A man out of you
Don't run away for pastures new
If you've run up a bill that you can't repay
Or you've made a mistake which you can't relay
It's a learners curve for the most
And for the others its just a coast
A coast which they'll regret
You've got time to crawl out of that ditch
Just like a disastrous holiday
Was hoping for much more
Than laying dazed half naked
On the floor wishing for more
Than the swinging on hinge door
Delirious and disorientated
Where's all last nights antics gone
Why's it all gone so wrong
Fearless bravado
Fumbling chat ups
Man made mess ups
The drink is flowing
No one knowing
Where nights end lies
The evening's end
Oh so successful
But the morning comes
Just as a twitching mess
With no real concept of being
Just a desperate longing to die
Hoping for a cure or a remedy
A vague hope of recovering
The night was long and exciting
The morning painful and longer
There's no understandable reason
For me really liking you
You're a narcissistic liar
With so many problems and no clue
But I'll collapse my plans
Ambitions and wants
Simply to meet your needs
You'll play to that for definite
You've no problem showing greed
24 hours
Spent thinking of you
Constantly at the back
Of my mind
It's the actions, words true
That course through my body
Like a knife against
A wrist
The satisfaction cruel
The feelings never mutual
Unless there's something you require
It's only for your own good
I feel strangled by the wire
Trapped inside a box
Built up by your deceit
But there is an exit
Through
Dancefloor Disappointment by lesjuniors, literature
Literature
Dancefloor Disappointment
She's standing there all alone
Just on her own she shall not moan
She's oh so elegant in her high heels
And her mini skirt adds to the appeal
She's probably got two kids and
A flat on a council estate
But you'll make her excuses
You'll just think of the pluses
Because the light shines out her ass
Or you'd like to think she has some class
Because you've set your eyes on her
And you'd like to think she's pretty cool
She's just too hot to be true
You haven't thought this through
You can't imagine any flaws
You won't be ready when she disappoints
You don't know her name
You don't know her age
She's caught your eye on the floor
You're flying the nest
You're tying the noose
Time to walk away
From all ends loose
No time to turn back
No time to wonder
No reason to believe
No chance to ponder
Lives left behind you
All battered and bruised
Are forever forgotten
All used and abused
The loved ones you wounded
They'll never forgive
But what do you care
You don't need them to live
Because you've decided to move on
With those memories to cherish
While behind is bitterness and anger
The relationships ugly blemish
You never meant to hurt them
The ones you always loved
You just wanted to forget them
And create your new life
Will you ever see the emotion
The seed of life
I wear on my face
No poker face
No nothing
My view and my spark
Ever apparent
I'm successful
It's a habit
That's not my cover
I have no cover
No lies not deceiving
I'm just weaving
A place for this seed to grow
Mentally Retarded, Confidently Guarded
Rough as Nuts with a Stench of Piss
Looking like a sheep ready to be slaughtered
Just because I was longing for your kiss
Laid in bed for ten days straight
I don't turn up to work let alone be late
It's nothing more than a broken heart
So get up and stop longing for a tart
I'm up and at 'em
No time to lose
Except have time
To clean my shoes
It's out the door
And down the street
We're the untouchables
Now kiss our feet
Go down the pub and drink myself silly
Or round a mates and play some poker
Just along as it's not crying down an alley
I'll fulfil my role and I'll replay the joker
She
Running from the police trashing places as you go
Looking for a ruck with 'em or just an easy fuck off 'em
But a coupla lines a cocaine will have to do
Smashing faces till their bloody in the middle of the street
It's pretty fucking easy when you're not far off 7 feet
But it's never gonna catch up with you
So what the fuck else are you supposed to do
But you will run from them
And you'll hide from them
They'll never really catch you
They're scared of what you'll do
They'll never, ever match you
So it's off to Waterloo
'Cause the boys from up round there
They want a little scuffle
Bottles fly and the chairs parade
It's just ano
You opened my eyes
To a world I've never seen
A world of pleasant cries
And this sides just as green
It's life with a blanket
A comfort for my fears
You were part of my nibbana
You made it all so clear
You're the epitome of perfect
But only to my eyes
There's no one else that sees it
But no one ever tries
We've forged a deadly pair
Like batman and robin
No one ever splits us
No one can ever stop us
With you I can take on the world
I can take it all against the chin
Rock N Roll Romantics
We can bring it upon our pears
We can fight each others bloody battles
Because as friends we'll never falter
You broke the barriers
And
You're embarking on a mission
To soothe that lovers disposition
You're pretty desperate now
But it's down the pub anyhow
You've not had any luck yet
But perhaps tonight's the night
Who knows what are the chances
You'll never pull, there are no chances
You're standing sheepish in the club
Looking for any slapper for you to mug
You've not got any lines or any plans
You're just hoping it'll fall in your lap
And who knows what are the chances
You'll never pull, there are no chances
It's pretty difficult to think
When you've had too much to drink
You're stumbling and falling around
Dancing about like a clown
It's just a plain old
Thieving little ignorants
Making burrows just for themselves
They'll use you for a purpose
With no intention of return
Looking for recognition
But never wanting to give
Losing touch with the reality
Of morals, the way we should live
Stopping and making the point
But not staying to hear the view
Causing endless disjoint
Not with a care for who it will hurt
You're walking a thin line
A tight rope of friends
If you're left with no reasons
No feelings or hopes left
You'll turn for some help
But when someone else has
The problems that they give
Are not for your cares
You'll shift and you'll swallow
And discard their lives
Sto
Walk down through a darkened alley
Find a young lad who's dead
With a hood over his head
Oh what a tragedy to be
That young lad black and blue
He said I want to live the life instead
Of a 9 to 5 and a sofa bed
But is it anything new?
No, we've seen it all along
The dogs are coming for you
With Albion back on track
But the awful truth it is
That it's truly worse than ever
It's the worst it's ever been
Where's it all gone?
That poor young woman
She can't support her kid
Don't yah know?
That if she didn't like the brown
Then he'd have the clothes to fit his body
She only thinks for herself
It's a cruel, cruel town
The dogs
A good friend of mine gave me a journal to start writing poetry on hand...
Due to being able to write at any moment I've been writing non stop.
:-).
So at some point... I will be adding a lot more here.
I'm back.
And I will be sorting out everything I've written and carrying on writing!
Plan?
I think so.
Might even check out some of your deviations... If you're ever so lucky :-P
How have we all been in my absence?
