Dear life, No matter how hard you try. You will NEVER beat me. You may take everything I care about from me, but I promise you will not destroy me. I am strong even when you convince me that I’m not. My tears may fall, and my blood may spill,...

In A World…
In a world that knows only hate,You have to know only love,In a world full of judges,You need never show judgement,In a world that constantly drags you down,You need to rise above,In a world that calls you weak,You need to stay strong,In a world that demands your tears,You need to...
Hangman of Combe Gibbet
Recorded by my Wife on her iPhone at Combe Gibbet, Hampshire, RG17 9EL on 26/07/2022
Don’t Give Up
How much more,Can my soul take,How much more,Until I break,More and more questions,Running round my mind,When I have a joke to tell,They will be on the end of the phone,But when there’s tears in my eyes,Forever I shall be alone,The purpose of life,And how to sustain good mental health,I cannot...
I Have A Human Dream
Once upon a time,We were all one tribe,We all stuck together,In order to survive,We all shared the load,And we all had something to contribute,The strong and the weak both valued,Not one of us mute,But somewhere down the evolution line,I couldn’t tell you when,Some got insecure and protective,And started to judge...
Depression’s Bliss
My eyes are fading,Blurred landscapes in the morn,My heart is aching,My emotions are all torn,I see a great darkness ahead of me,A future so bleak,I may feel like this today,But I have felt like it all week,A drink slowly disappearing in my hand,My motivation is near none,Wearing the same clothes,Since...
Hangman Of Combe Gibbet
I’m a man,Or so they say,But I’ve been at war since the day I was born,And I surrendered earlier today,I can’t take anymore,It’s far too much to bear,I was fighting for a cause,Which is no longer there,Everything comes to an end,And mine is now,My journey has to finish,And the executioner...
Depression Blue’s
Tears roll down my face,As my depression gets me again,I hate it so much,But sadly it is my friend,I’m not stupid,I know my head is messed up and wrong,Maybe I am blinded by it,But then again, it’s been happening for so long,I look for the negatives,In everything that happens to...
Darkness
Welcome sweet darkness,Yet again we meet,You laugh at my pain,As I crawl at your feet,We shake hands in allianceAs you offer nothing but pain,But I keep coming back,Time and time again,Sweet, Sweet Sorrow,Pain and hurt,Convincing myself,This is what I deserve,Make me cry,Make me blue,You lead the way,As I shall follow...
Dark Place
I walk down this empty road,With a crucifix upon my back,Through the lions and the tigers,Ready for the attack,The sounds of the drums are beating,As I walk into the unknown,Not knowing where I am heading,And all I want to do is go home,The vultures circling overhead,The wolves are at my...
Alien
I feel so different,I’m an alien scared you’ll all notice me,So I hide in the darkest of rooms,Hoping nobody sees,I can’t trust anything living,But also can’t trust my own mind,My home planet will send assistance,It’s only a matter of time,I don’t know how me being here,Actually came to be,But this...
Breakdown
Anger builds up inside of me,Over the littlest of things,I have a little chuckle and a cry,Mind goes blank of everything,News on the TV,The worlds going to end,But everything’s going to be ok,At least I try to pretend,My mind can’t focus,On anything other than nothing,I remember that song on the...
Bottom Class
Dirt under my fingernails,Walking round in tatty clothes,No money in my wallet,But everybody knows,Barely affording bus fare,To get from A to B,People walking past,Looking down their noses at me,My hair shiny with grease,And a hole in my left shoe,Trying to make a name for myself,But not knowing what to do,Shopping...
Atom
They are getting their missiles ready,We are going to war,A mushroom cloud on the horizon,Nothing will be known about before, Some people will pray to God,While the rest will live in fear,The time is coming,The sound of bombs we’ll hear,The leaders need to prove their point,While we all die in...
Addict
Laying semi unconscious,On my sitting room floor,Asking for it all to stop,But for some reason begging for more,Drugged up to my eyeballs,And pissed out of my head,Because I’m alive,But inside I feel dead,I hear on a distant radio,“Love will set you free”And I scream at the top of my voice,Somebody...
I See A Darkness
I see a darkness,Deep inside my soul,I see a darkness,Eating me up whole,Day by day, sunrise, sunset,I ask myself how much longer?Because as I get weaker,This darkness gets stronger,I see a darkness,Deep within my heart,I see a darkness,It’s been there since the start,I used to try and fight,I used to...
Jump
I might climb to the top of a tower,And shoot all you fuckers down,Then put a bullet in myself,Cos inner peace I’ve never found,Maybe… I’ll just jump,I might try and find a dealer,And overdose on cocaine,I might travel back to the 1800’s,And just say I’m insane,Or maybe…. I’ll just jump,Maybe...
I’m Not A People Pleasing Poet
I class myself a poet,An OK one at that,But my words come from a heart,So damaged, cold and black,I don’t mix my words,I speak to you the truthI’m honest and straight and to the point,I’ve been like it since my youth,So,Nail me to the cross,I’m a martyr to the king,Put...

Electric domination coming soon,At the call of the 18th full moon,No one knows where we actually stand,Weather to run or shake cyborg’s hand,Created by man but no one sees,That we are still just chimpanzees,In a land we try not to, yet still destroy,We learn the technology as a young boy,Out...
Poetika, Salisbury (16/08/2022)
A venture out to the Poetika night in Salisbury. A very warm reception and some very talented poets
A very nervous Dark Poet
My first ever time preforming live in front of people (Andover Rocks Poetry Night 2021)
The Bar
I’m drinking with the down and outs,And the ex coke heads,The people who wish,That they were dead,I’m drinking with the depressed,The stressed and the anguished,I’m dying with these good for nothings,And there’s no way were gunner be missed,Alongside me are the psycho’s,The disturbed and the anti-socialites, The bitterness runs through...
