(in) Dependence

If we Depend on those we can NOT,
Or Need those who need us NOT,
And Rely on those who will NOT,
We have only ourselves,
And they do NOT!

Happy New Year!

As we move into a New one
The Old is going by
Was it good? Will it better?
Will we drown or will we fly?

In this time of celebration
Easy is to drink it dry
Though we take time to remember
What we've done and what went by

Looking forward, not reversing
Is the way we're taught to see
But it happens much too often
We regret what was not to be

Throw AWAY negativity!
Hold it tight your better days!
Never think, only hope
That IMPROVEMENT is the way!

What you CAN'T do is undo it
What you MUST is open wide!
Let it out! Distract your worries!
Tell them GO and say GOODBYE!

When it comes to nearest midnight
See it in with widest smile!
Have a party! Drink a toast!
Fill your glass and DON'T BE SHY!!


HAPPY NEW YEAR to EVERYONE!!!

You not Me

(15th September 2012)
 
It's YOU!
COME!
TO!
MEEE!!
Cos I like, I need what I see.
Ohh ...
He is there with you now
To obstruct,
In the way,
There to fuck
You, not me ...

You Are Here

(late summer, 2011)

The sun may shine all day
The rain can fall
Wind may blow wild through the hills

That's OK

Frost can form
Muddy tides can slide down
Even the open earth could be
I will not worry
Cos you, YOU are here with me

Year of Void

(Wednesday 24th June 2009, early evening)
 
Would anyone like ....
to Join Me here?
In my Year of Void

Yes, will be empty
Your life will stop
Like mine

But hey,
It's not SO hard
We will endure together
And fight through

But
The point is ....
I NEED YOU!

Words

(25th March 2012)
 
Words are like beautiful flowers,
If you give them love and encouragement, they will reward you.
Words are stubborn,
You just can't get them right.
Words are for me stories,
They have a beginning, an end,
And in the middle some detail,
But you never know
Until the last letter.

If you look after words,
They will bloom and flower
And give great joy and pleasure.
Everyone will see,
Everybody too will want words like yours.

But if you are angry,
Words can bring fire,
And spit in the faces of those who abuse them.
You can never win a war with words.

It is hard to know another life,
To experience life without the joy of words.
They give us so much:
Great plays, writers of fame, songs to die for.
We would not have these without words.

So next time,
When next you war with your words,
Just remember where you came from,
And what you want to be.
Words will give all you need,
A love of words is a life with words,
And all that they bring to you will be a pleasure,
Not just today, but now and forever.
Words will be your guide,
And expression your salvation,
And ONLY with words,
Will you finally find what you seek.

Without You

I had a good time tonight
It could have been with you
It should have been with you
But you weren't here

What did you do tonight?
Did you stay in?
Did you fight with your mother (again)?
Did you go out?
I thought of you tonight

It's not so easy
Being with you
Being without you
I can't be either just now
But 'without' is how it shall be

For I can't forget
This time last week
What you did
What you said
What you thought
The memory is so bitter of you

I enjoyed tonight without you
Yes I did
It was possible
And I did it
And I know I can do it again
And I can get over you

They asked me about next year
And I told them
And I said, "Don't be so sure"
That's the way it is for me
To be without you
There is nothing here

What can you do for me?
I think nothing now
I see nothing now
I don't want anything now
From you

It feels good
I can have socks with holes
I can do what I want
I can be myself
And you can't complain
About anything

I thought of that song today
"Something Happened On The Way To Heaven"
And it did
And it has
And it's done
So what now?

Am I in Hell?
Because of this
Because of you
And all you said
I think not
But it's close
