I plant my seeds with great care,
And lay my time down everywhere,
Make time to love and share,
And foster growth in my field there.
***
Sadly the crop doesn’t grow,
No-one sees and no-one knows,
Around my feet nothing moves,
No fucks are growing beneath my shoes.
***
Not for lack of want or care,
I can’t find a fuck anywhere,
Not a care in the air,
I don’t have a fuck to share.
***
My field of fucks is running barron,
Due to many years of caring,
I would not want to keep carrying,
Other people’s wants and burdens.
***
So when you ask for a fuck from me,
There is nothing in my fuck tree,
Try next season and we will see,
If a fuck will grow for you and me.
What Isn’t Poetry
Is a poem a poem no matter what,
Or should it rhyme or should it not,
When is a poem just a statement,
Or a verse a poetic lament,
Some like two lines in quick succession,
Some like Iliads that are never ending,
But whatever your preference for poetry is,
Does anyone know what poetry isn’t?
Love (RBTL)
Grab your heart and bottle it up.
Love isn’t only for the strong.
By loving you will learn.
The many ways a heart breaks.
Horns and devil tales may plage you.
And people may even leave you.
Hold you own and keep on searching.
On the wishes of you heart and on your longings.
Tight in the knowledge you will find love.
Fear (RBTL)
Don’t keep it to yourself,
Let other in to help you out.
Fear not for what may not be,
Stop longing for what can’t be.
You alone can live your life,
From your morning to your night.
Doing what is right for you,
What you want to do.
You and only you can know,
Want what you want but learn when,
To let go.
Depression
There is something,
Heavy and dark,
It is highly populated,
Yet not understood,
Unmapped. Busy but silent,
Noisy but mute,
You scream like the others,
But nobody looks,
Nobody notices,
It feels like nobody cares,
This is the cloudiness,
That never fails.
***
But don’t listen to it,
I have been there with you,
Suffered the same,
And known the shame,
People are here,
Willing to listen,
Willing to notice,
If you only let them, It won’t win,
When you have people behind you,
So if you need an ear,
Just shout me near,
And I will help you,
Any way I can.
Why I Love the UK
I’ve felt the summer sun glow,
and the cold nip of snow,
I’ve heard the autumn deer call,
and watched the fawns crawl,
I’ve seen the rain fall,
***
and the rainbow tall,
I’ve smelt the honeydew in the air,
and smelt the cold winter air,
I’ve tasted the meat of the highlands,
and the fruits of the lowlands,
These things I say,
Remind me why,
I love the UK.
Keep an open heart
If you close your heart,
And close your head,
You won’t feel hurt,
You won’t feel dread,
For love will never get to you,
And you will never fell new.
*
Love is worth a thousand tears,
Don’t fear to loose them,
Don’t fear to dread,
Just love the now,
And love the moment,
Love your heart,
And love your head,
*
Never live in fear,
Or live in dread,
Let your heart feel,
If you have that someone now,
You know the love I speak of,
But if you don’t,
Then don’t fret,
Just let your heart lead you to love.
*
Tonight before you go to bed,
Remember this,
You need your heart,
You nee your head,
To feel that love,
Just ignore the dread.
