The thing about solitude is

Phil ListerLeave a comment

The thing about solitude is

You can’t have enough

Even when you bathe in it

You’ve not had your drug

You want to be alone

Throughout all the day

You won’t go outside

Come what may

You don’t want to see friends

No not at all

Take the dog for a walk

Not your ball

You would rather stay inside

Drink and watch tv

For in our little head

It’s, well, to be free

I was now in my hell

Phil ListerLeave a comment

Today I crave silence

To be with no noise

Escape the daily grind

Feeling like a toy

It’s nagging behind me

Slumping my shoulders

No power to fight it

My will like boulders

Showing its big white teeth

Take another bite

My soul laid bare waiting

No energy to fight

Devoured by darkness

Sadly for my heart

I was now in my hell

This was just the start

To be inspired

Phil ListerLeave a comment
It takes a lot to be inspired, to leave your cosy shell

Some people find it easy, for others it is hell

Not knowing what to do, to let the words flow

How to get them out there, which way to go?

Put them down on paper, or trace them in your head

Sing em in the shower, or when you go to bed

Now isn’t that better? Bit of fun for the brain

It shouldn’t be a chore, let’s do this again?

Follow your dreams

Phil ListerLeave a comment
If it makes you happy, follow your dreams
.
Life can throw curve balls and peel at the seams
.
Glue it back together and hold on tight
.
It is a work rough ride, ready for the fight?

Reflecting on life

Phil ListerLeave a comment
What in life have I learnt so far?
My limited wisdom, looking afar
As I reflect back, thinking now
All the mistakes I made, and how!
.
Don’t do like your parents
As different as you can
Spanking for a yes or no
My ass received a tan
.
Talk to your children
Be open about everything
Try to get to know them
Reap the rewards it brings
.
Listen to your partner
Communicate much more
Stop what you are doing
It shouldn’t be a chore
.
Never give up in life
Be a stubborn S. O. B.
Drive and determination
The only way to be
.
You can have regrets
They cannot be changed
No point dwelling on them
You’ll only become deranged
.
Live for yourself
You’re perfect as you are
Don’t live in a shadow
Be a superstar!

We all need a little hope

Phil Lister5 Comments

.

We all need a little hope to get us through this day

For all that is going on throughout the world today

A little bit of positive to cherish and nourish our soul

Something to look upon, we need to have a goal

We can’t go on with this disease, fighting all the time

We can be strong together, we have to use our minds

For all the lies that they spew, all that comes out their mouths

Take it with a pinch of salt, they are only in power for now

For every day we wear a mask and feel like a horse

It may be annoying now but it is only a chore

Thank the heavens you’re not dead, it could be much worse

You could be up in heaven, looking down on earth
