Blood vessels
The written representation
Of a torrid
Unhealthy lifestyle
Invade the whites of his eyes
 
Up close
The breath of a thousand vomits
Teeth
Blackened by neglectfulness
Eroded by acids
Long since
These eyes have not witnessed a mirror
 
Vanity is pointless
When the image you have
Of you
Is one of a horror show
A nightmare
Entered in innocence
 
A child
Just seventeen years
They offered, you took
Whatever it was
The toxic substance
Wine
Heroin
A ten pound bag
Or cheap apple cider
The primer
The hook
 
Life is so much easier
When
You remove your self
From the burden filled existence
That society demands of you
 
Free Money
Seven day weekend
 
Friends
If that's what they are
Loyalty is bought
Not offered
Acquainted in circumstance
 
 
Its only for a while
I heard you say
Now
'Got any change mate'
'I need to catch a train'
 
Is it your fault
Yes
And
No
The years have flashed by you
Never been so low
Pretending to be happier
Than anyone you know
 
A job
A love
A home
Not a hovel
How dare they judge you
Its hard to judge when the evidence is hidden
Scars
Covered by intoxication
 
 
Reasons
 
Beyond control
A blip
An error
You did not mean to get off at this station
A card board city
In a wealthy nation?
 
Stuck
No way out
Organs threatened
By noxious poisons
Diabetes
Untreated
 
Dead
 
Shop doorway
Disowned
Disillusioned
By this life
Ready to embrace the next
 
What can you do
Where can you turn
Begging for pennies
Dancing to your own tune?
Addicted
To one path
Expecting to perish
The winter comes crawling
Sucking away
Your tarnished
Spoiled life
 
I wish we could help you
Take away all of your fears
The withdrawal from the elixir
Will drown you in tears
Hallucinations
Shaking non stop
No hangover to speak of
Should you never stop.
 
It could have been me
It might have been you
But for the mercy
Of choices we took
Luck is a factor
Make no mistake
Responsibility got a hold
It was not ever too late

Fight for your life.

The soft sand ridden muddy path Under my feet Is cushioned for me by sturdy black boots Sloppy, slick slimy navigating as every part of my leg plays a part in keeping me upright Sinews twist, the cramping ageing muscles uncomfortably held in kilter Heading for home Light retreats The ever arriving daily dusk clocks in I can't see the car quite yet. This place takes me away But only for a short time Drudgery Routine Work Though enjoyable Wears at one Through time, burdened by the worries of others Chinks appear, cracks of darkness on a golden life Wandering, watching  twigs may snap Wind blown pine trees sing in high pitched terror Birds dart Rabbits unseen? But for borrows Buzzards soar A red kite adorned a fence post Squirrels elusive Watching Just in case I might see one race by Even in the periphery of either eye A busy head is a safe head? Freedom from worries Eating and gnawing Snatching at anything that will offset these thoughts Let th

Physgill. Watch the swiftly feeding swallow Sun outside But not it in the hollows Of the shrubs and the greenery Fresh cut lawn Hydrangea, Rose Honeysuckle aroma The fields with the peas, A sea of swaying green Moves like an ocean The sound of the trees Moved and being shaken By the summertime breeze Cattle in the drive way Pheasants shouting loudly The deer are cautious Barn owls swoop in darkness Caught by car lights Badger scurried across the road Foxes rare The game keepers gun. A lamb down a tree trunk Discovered by Rosalind Pulled out by a farmer Care for injured falconry Rescued for love Of all that was around us The freedom The tranquility The sea and the solway Not too far away The Glen with her garlic Appetizing rambling Down to the shore Where pebbles and boulders You arrive at the bay. The cave has a host A man in a smock Ninian the monk Later canonised Who sat in meditation Considering faithfulness Sheltered from harm. C

Positivity explodes from every pore Despite my doubters This year I'll do much more More for others if I am able More for my family Food for our table. Be all Be everything Reach for the star's Grab opportunity When it comes along Don't be fearful of anything If you can't see it It's not there Resolutions are a misnomer Bound to fail unless Heroically striving You can drag your self from bed Failure makes you hurt inside Disappointment is the foe When February roles in Defeated You'll weep inside Lie low Avoid the gaze, the question's About The intentions you shared before So this year I'm not trying to change dramatically My aspirations will be tempered Measured in a way My mind is set to a default I've probably had before Self doubt is now the enemy Belief in me is raw Attraction Is the focus Bring it to myself Ignore the dampened shadows That have me running scared True to me and the possibility That wha
