Everyone is welcome
Good morning daddy
Please pick me up
Hold me tight
I love you so much
Good morning daddy
I love your eyes
What will we do today?
Is it a surprise?
Good morning daddy
Are you okay?
You’re not yourself
Can we play?
Good morning daddy
You’re coughing a lot
Drink some syrup
To make it stop
Good morning mummy
Where is daddy today?
Why are you crying?
Can we go play?

Why would you watch me?
I know you better than most
Although everyone gazes at you
I will not be thrown
We have had many a moment
Just you and I
Your beauty overwhelms me
Brings tears to my eyes
You can be blinding
As you light the path ahead
There is nowhere else to be
Nowhere else instead
As the stars vie for your attention
Flashing bright and true
You stare right through them
As constantly you do
Will you love me forever?
If I never look away
Tell me you’ll never leave me
And that you’ll always stay
.
Poem from my latest love poetry book searching for you
Talk to me softly
I can’t remember the last time
We had an intimate moment
Or shared a bottle of wine
To smile and laugh together
To hang on each other’s word
All this wanting
May seem to be absurd
We just need a little attention
To spark the match again
To go back to like before
When we were still friends
But all that being lost now
As we hardly kiss goodbye
All the time thinking
Why it is like this? Why?
.
Money, how it has control over us
It shapes our lives and causes fuss
Starting off with pocket money
Those little coins you find funny
In the shop what do you do?
Steal some sweets and run like a fool
Turn sixteen, mum asks you for rent
Get a job earning nothing, go on get bent!
Let’s move out, go get a flat
Overdraft sorted, in it, twat!
Credit card sorted, let’s go for it now
Two grand debt, well done kid, wow!
Oh I need a car, I need it today
Listen to no one, bought same day
Pound it at a hundred down the motorway
Pisses out petrol, firemen on way
Another debt, repairs to be done
Down the garage, oh what fun!
Debt piles up, more and more
Noting down what you spend, what a chore!
Try a bit of gambling, oh doing well
Roulette, poker, betting, lost, must not dwell
Ten grand now, more interest each payday
Can’t live like this, not this way
More and more depressed, don’t know what to do?
Hope for a miracle and hope it’s not you!

I’ve had the text from your mum
In two hours ends the fun
I’m doing the washing up
Thinking surely too much
Starting to regret and punish myself
I imagine it’s not good for my health
You’ve been with us for twelve days
You’re going through a phase
It seems you’ve been punishing us
Fits, tantrums, sulks and stuff
Whatever your six year old mind can find
What are you going to do this time?
It’s been so difficult looking after you
Not always knowing what to do.
With the baby here it’s been a big change
For you it has to be a little bit strange
We talk to you often, try to explain
You rolling your eyes, us explaining in vein
I want us to get along, all together
But you change your mind just like the weather
I ask myself what can I do?
What is needed to help you?
Although it’s difficult and you can make me sad.
I’ll always love you cause I’ll always be your dad
.
I’m trying to kick you
Kick you out of my life
My life has been owned by you
By you and your addictive ways
Addictive ways to make me play
Me play with you all the day
The day passes by
Passes by without even seeing
Even seeing what I have done
Have done much today
Much today or any day
Any day with you
With you in my life
I am happy
Am happy and not bored
Not bored but this is pointless
Is pointless to stay with you
With you here just wasting my hours
My hours are mine, I have will power
Will power to stop myself
Stop myself from touching you
Touching you one more time
More time with you
With you just once more
Once more, oh please
Oh please, no must stop
Must stop this addiction
This addiction to you
To you, for the hold you have
You have me, but I am strong
Am strong and I will quit
Will quit from your grasp
Your grasp on me
On me no more, I’ve decided, I’m free!
.
When you’ve had a bad day
You wonder which way
To go in your life
Argued with the wife
Your kids hate you
It’s their point of view
That nothing is good enough
That’s the way it is. Tough!
Your job sucks like a wormhole
You don’t like your boss, arsehole!
You can’t find another job
Cause you’re a lazy slob
Bills just don’t stop coming in
Overdraft and credit cards sinned
Your car has broken down
Your face starting to frown
Your phone is almost flat
Forgot to charge, what a twat.
That’s it, decided to quit?
Look at yourself, stop being a dick
.
Do I deserve someone to fill my void?
Forever looking but feel destroyed
Tarnished by myself, my self-belief
That longing too much, just no relief
I am not a catch, I’m ugly and fat
No one could want me, it’s a fact
Dated for years to find just one
That perfect person, special someone
I don’t want a fling, nothing less
I’m not interested in emptyness
My bed is empty as I long so much
To feel close to someone, just to touch
To whisper sweet nothings all through the day
I don’t think it’s for me I am afraid
To feel loved and wanted, all that I ask
Maybe I am dreaming? I’m having a laugh?
Please one day, let me meet my match?
I’m sure they’ll be great, a real catch
.
I need it
I need my fix
I need my buzz
I need my cigarettes
I need my love
I need one more drink
I need to play one more time
I need my Facebook
I need my Twitter
I need to post one more time
I need that hit
I need that thing
I need to gamble
I need to spend
I need sex
I need to be abused
I need him
I need her
I need life
I need death
I need
I need
I neeeeeeeeeeeddd.

I watched him pulling up in his expensive car
I had seen him driving slow from afar
I offered to clean, with my water and rag
The window opened and there was a young lad
He had a toy tractor, yellow and green
This amazing toy my eyes had never seen
He let me play with it for a second or two
He smiled at me, then offered it too
I was so happy, by this boy’s geste
I searched my affairs with behest
I shared a sweet that mother had made
He ate with me, it made my day
The car drove off, he waved goodbye
I will remember him, till the day I die
