An Angels Voice for Louise
I am there
Don’t despair for I am there
From every corner of your room
From distant sun to distant moon
When times of trouble come too soon
I am there
And in every cavern deep
In dreams when little children sleep
And all the secrets that you keep
I am there
And when ever you feel alone
Or feel that you can’t turn home
Thinking that you’re on your own
I am there
From covered mountains that touch the sky
To places where only eagles fly
To every question where you ask why?
I am there
And I don’t mean to trivialize
And look upon you with selfish eyes
Or come to you in some hidden guise
When saying I am there
And though stories mention me
And I am beyond what mortal man can see
And though you believe with difficulty
I am there
And in this world of material labels
Where I am spoken of only in fables
To believe in love is to believe in Angels
So don’t despair Louise for I am there

A Love without Conditions
For Charlene
What is Love without Conditions
It is floating without a hoist
Watching parents of a new born baby rejoice
It is a hope without an end
A candles flame that will not descend
It is a breath of sweet innocence
It is a time that does not pass
A moment of magic that will last
It is all the positive energy in the world
It is every truth that love can build
It will keep you secure
It is a love that will endure
It is a faith that cannot be seen
The fulfilment of every dream
It is being interned whilst being free
A tsunami of sweet liberty
It is all the hot summers there have been
the bluest sky you've ever seen
It is the cure for every ill
The ultimate adrenalin thrill
It is all the wisdom that can be found
It is a spell that will astound
It is a heavenly belief
It is loves great relief
It is the acceptance of being fulfilled
It is a beauty never to be concealed
It is the stars that light up the night
It makes the sun burn so bright
It is a love freely given
And not by expectations driven
It is the being of your soul
And in life it is the ultimate goal

Mr. Sheens Rib
Mr. Sheens Rib
At number forty-two
Hanging by a jib
Surely it can’t be true
Is it sweet or sour?
The loss of a good friend
It's been almost an hour
Since he came to an end
I saw him run around
In his little pen
Seemed so safe and sound
My tiny loving gem
Now the pen’s empty
Oh what can it mean?
Did something tempt me?
To eat my Mr. Sheen
There's the great creator
The one they call chef
He was the instigator
Now there’s nothing left
So now I’m all alone
As time passes by
My stomach doesn’t moan
But I’m left here to cry
So if you’re ever tempted
To have a pet so sweet
Remember this story's fermented
By a friend that became a treat

Descending to the Pit
Whence began this end of days?
Before life had such simple plays
And people had forgiving ways
And no one turned to wish you ill
Hoping you'd eat some toxic pill
Of destruction and despair
Is that what people truly share?
Remember when time to kill
Was thankfully foreign still
So was there such a place?
Where man wore a friendly face
Humanity had a sort of grace
Now such thoughts are strange
Like concerns for climate change?
Or has Iran got the bomb?
As if no others doing wrong
And we’re all tied to little lives
And if for love one often strives
Why do many choose to hate?
Have we descended to a state?
Where devils move in disguise
And hate seems on the rise
In this world where alls insane
Love would appear quite tame
So are our Poles now reversed?
As man seems eternally cursed
Within cycles of pain and hurt
It’s as if Loves strangely inert
So why then call God out?
If you hate what Gods about
Blaming God, saying Gods not there
Then blaming God, should God care
When Judges call children to account
A fearful rage all choose to mount
It as if no one seeks the truth
All react to impoverished youth
And years of condemnat
ion
Leads to social deprivation
Are you all so raging Proud?
Not to lift that heavy shroud
Men in cages need a mentor
In a Human Recovery Centre
So have we descended to the pit?
Where everyone has an insanity fit
And people talk of broken Britain
As if her destinies already written
Have we reached the final score?
Where players can perform no more
Weights carried on their shoulders
Why heap on such heavy boulders
Crying out that life’s a burden
Pulling down the final curtain
So is this it the end of days?
A supernovas dieing rays
Or will it end with a whimper?
More suited to a listless thinker
Myself I simply locked the door
Rejected by those I knew before
Though others say it's deserved
'You did shout Love's the word'
So are you not all responsible?
That anyone good is made a fool
As people find fault in others
Instead of choosing to be lovers
For no one really has a dark side
Just shadows where memories hide
And if love truly has no meaning
Why are so many daydreaming
So when did things get so bad?
To make this world appear so sad
That Vulnerables are locked away
But it's not enough I hear you say
So let's all prey on the weak
Those with no words to speak
Burn them all at the stake
Dunk them in a freezing lake
Blast them all to the moon
Seal them in a padded room
Applauding all shameful actions
Being glad for their distractions
And who cares about their lives?
Self harmers with blunted knives
Nor how desperate people be
Because that’s not your reality
And if Celebrities are divine
Then this is the end of time
So when the earth does shake
People in their beds quake
Others fight to set men free
Tsunamis hurtle across the sea
Some find naught to eat
Fear seems to reign complete
Each must make a stand
Hold Loves open hand
Or to you, is it calloused and raw?
Something distasteful to ignore
Then I’d be right after all
Your Poles are reversed,
And your thinking’s small.

Island home
If I could I’d be alone
On some Island home
Far from hateful voices
Hateful words,
Hateful choices
I’d lie in the shadows
Of sun soaked hallows
Staring out to sea
No one would have at me
As the years past by
Others ask did he die
In that world far outside
That ignores its spirit guide
Where people question not
The lives they’ve got
They’ve built some façade
Some uncaring charade
A cold marbled stone
Claiming that’s my home
They won't find me there
In some cold cloth to wear
For I’m in a better place
Where hate has no face
I
