The curse of the baby

May 26, 2019May 26, 2019 Phil Lister3 Comments

When you first come into this world

The nurse inspects you and gives you a twirl

You are then taken home and placed to rest

You are left to slumber and of course to rest

And from that moment there is a change

You start to cry and make your parents deranged

Through all the noise and the screaming

I think your parents would rather be dreaming

For this disruption causes stress

And their sweet child is no longer a bless

And for a reason unknown to you

Your parents split and are no longer two

Was it your fault? Is it true?

Was it actually because of you?

Tick tock

May 24, 2019May 24, 2019 Phil Lister1 Comment

I am sitting here (Tick Tock)

I am watching the clock (Tick Tock)

I am alone (Tick Tock)

I am at home (Tick Tock)

Why so depressing (Tick Tock)

Why this lesson (Tick Tock)

I want to end it (Tick Tock)

To stop that clock (Tick Tock)

Slower and slower (Tick Tock)

Beats the clock (Tick Tock)

For i am calm (Tick Tock)

With bloodied palms (Tick Tock)

I have done it (Tick Tock)

Set myself free (Tick Tock)

Now i see the light (Tick Tock)

My clock has stopped, No Tick Tock

My eyes

May 24, 2019May 24, 2019 Phil ListerLeave a comment

I feel that my eyes are the key to my soul

If you look within them you will see i have many goals

For i am an emotional person and caring too

Sometimes outrageous, quiet and shy too

With their blue and their green they may look sweet

But don’t be surprised if you look really deep

That when you see my anger, and my rage

I vow to you that i will amaze

For when you see the passion in my eyes

You will be amazed and surprised

Because although they have passion, i know it’s true

Sometimes ignorance and vulnerability too

I am just a boy inside of it all

And my eyes protect my heart, just like a wall

Life · Rhyming poetry to change your day

Birth

May 23, 2019May 23, 2019 Phil Lister5 Comments

The beginning, that first day.
The responsibility of come what may.

In front of you this life in your hands.
Now the new life, now you understand.

That proudness you feel, tears start to flow.
Overwhelming sentiments as you sway baby to and fro.

That funny noise that she is making. Your love at first sight she is taking.

The realisation of what is to come. The sleepless nights oh what fun.

It doesn’t matter, nothing does. Your a parent now, what a buzz.

Wake up sleepy head

February 1, 2019 Phil ListerLeave a comment

Almost the weekend

So true so true

One more day of work

What will I do

Mode zombie today

Not slept enough

Got to drive to work

Feeling so rough

Can I go back to bed

Under the covers so warm

No you lazy git

Oh my heart is torn

Let me sleep

Just a minute or two

I promise I’ll move

What am I to do

Drag yourself downstairs

Make a cup of tea

Enjoy its warmth

See, isn’t that glee

Now begone you hermit

Move your bloody ass

What did you think

This poem was gonna be class

Today let’s have a blast

January 29, 2019January 29, 2019 Phil ListerLeave a comment

I like them moments of silence

Just being alone

Hearing just the clock ticking

In the comfort of my home

The fridge whirring

Nothing else

It’s a funny thing

Being by one’s self

It’s lonely

Exhilarating too

Daydreaming about the world

What we are about to do

No television

No radio

That would spoil it

Not the way to go

Just…. Peace

Tranquille as can be

In my little bubble

Free like a tree

What will happen

On this day so new

I am so excited

Opposite of feeling blue

Just….. Thinking

Reflecting on the past

I am sure today

I’m gonna have a blast

Today let’s have a blast

Abused; revenge

January 26, 2019 Phil Lister5 Comments

Another blow

I feel the pain

Your bloody fists

Never restrained

Pounded like leather

Black and blue

Like a chew toy

Just for you

My hate rages

For every bruise

Your putrid stare

You have no clue

My once pretty face

Forever scarred

Your proudest work

Erased my regard

I will never be free

Your cancerous grip

You’ve gone too far

I am going to flip

You’re passed out

You drunken mess

Disgusting monster

Vile pest

I will set you free

My sweet revenge

Wake up and suffer

My one and only friend

I will treasure that look

Pity and pain

The snake has bit back

You are to blame

Abused; am I a fool?

January 22, 2019January 22, 2019 Phil Lister1 Comment

Treat me mean

As you always do

It’s all I deserve

My life is through

I’m here to serve

Your every wish

Cut me deep

The pain is bliss

Your abuse often

It affects my mind

It turns my head

Just like wine

At least if drunk

I can forget

The marks you tread

Footprints left

I have no choice

To stay by your side

I am yours

I must abide

My heart broken

Just like my bones

Is this normal

No place like home

You always said

If I ever leave

You would get me

No reprieve

Would it be worse

Then the pain I feel

Forever faithful

This is real

Please, I have to go

Once and for all

Don’t worry about me

Am I a fool

You do exist

January 21, 2019 Phil ListerLeave a comment

You do exist

This world so vast

Your words I seek

They everlast

Float around

In my mind

What you said

True and kind

They tickled me

Soft and dear

Your critics

Oh so clear

I’ve been waiting

For you to show

Now at last

Your golden glow

Stars before

Twinkle bright

Captivate me

Oh what a sight

Permanently etched

Graved and proud

Thank you

I shout loud
