A Rose is Still a Rose?

#1 The Rose

The Rose

There was a rose, that was left to grow by itself.

The rose said it was alright.

But it was clear to see, that this was not so.

As there was a thorn on it's side.

#2 Angels Amongst Us

They Say Angels walk amongst us

This we can never be sure

When we meet them

Something about their Swagger

Something about their flow

As Quickly as they arrive

Too soon they leave

Causing you heartache

and a certain kind of grief

One thing is certain

Of this you can be sure

When an Angel leaves

They leave you wanting more

In memory of my Mother

Mrs Constance Morris

Karma in Love, what can I say don't mess with it, it is real.,,,,,

#105 Put Things Straight

I am not saying you owe me

But you need to put things straight

I was your girlfriend

You treated me like your mate

You seem to think it doesn't matter

Trust me I can see the pattern

You need to make amends before it is too late

I am saying this not as an ex .

I am telling you as a friend

You need to beg forgiveness

Pray for recompense

You came into my life

Rode rough shot

Now you are the one

Burning in flames

Who knew hell was so hot !

Blackberry Abandoned

I left my HTC on a bus on Sunday at 08:00 by 12:00 someone finally decided to pick up and answer my frantic texts and many calls to the number. I collected my phone from to young women five miles away from the bus I had left the phone on. Now everyone says I was lucky.

Lets discuss this luck .

Firstly I left phone on bus

Then phone was found by someone . That was lucky

Person decided to take it home?

Ok no more luck

Not sure why they didn't answer my first call, no doubt deciding what to do. Well with a password and not the top of the range in HTC 's I guess their best bet was just to wait for me to phone for the 20th time answer then get me to take this burden off their hands.

Ok so testing all this luck everyone proclaimed I had I left my Blackberry curve on the train. To date no one has answered the phone. Whoever found it took the chip out immediately. It is on a Virgin Network good luck getting rid of that.

The worst thing all my half written poems were on there. I am hoping I will get some inspiration and they will come back to me. The poems not the phone. face it that's long gone....

#104 Blackberry Abandoned

I’ve lost my chai

I’ve lost my chi

I have lost my buddy

I am talking about my phone

No? No ordinary phone

Whenever I had a thought

It was there

Buttons at the ready

For me to commit my ideas

My dreams

I search high

I search low

Oh where did my friend go?

To think some other

Tips are on the buttons

Making a mockery

Of our special connection

I dial her

But I had to have her switched off

For her own protection

I hope she will understand

Find it within her Blackberry heart

To forgive me

For being so careless with one

So dear to me

Bad Trip

I was travelling on a bus on my way from work.  I saw a young man behaving so out of control so violent coupled with paranoia isn’t good.  It was scary.  Fortunately I big strong burly man physical intervened and managed to regain control on an otherwise out of control situation.

#103 Tripping

I don't know what I have taken

This is real I ain't faking

I have tripped to another zone

Another hemisphere

Which isn't here

Forgive me

for what I have

Or may have done

I don't know where I am

I have no idea where I am

Am I making a connection

I am out of the loop

Spaced out

In limbo

Working Late at Night

Late night working.  There is whole other world of people who work during the night.  I once done mini cabbing and had to work at night.  I just found it thrilling.


My father worked late at night.  I didn't know this until he retired and received a pension from London Underground.  How cool is that?

#102 Late Night Shifts

My father would sneak out at night

We assumed he had another Woman

Turns out he was providing for his family

The only way he could

He worked late at night on the grave yard shift

On the underground erecting posters how upstanding

How mis-understood

We thought he was doing bad

When he was doing good

Suicide over Bedroom Tax

Something needs to be done about the Benefit Reforms.  No good will come of it.  Especially the Housing Benefit new ruling whereby if you have a room you are not using you have to pay the rent on it and it is no longer covered by Housing Benefit.  There was a woman who recently threw herself in front of a truck as she could not afford the extra £20 she would now be expected to pay towards her rent.

Imagine taking your life over £20.00 it sounds like not a lot but if you are already finding it difficult to cope on benefits this is the final straw.

There was also recently reported a fire in Tooting where an elderly couple burned to death immediately I thougt this was due to the new Benefit Reform

#101 Suicide Pact

They want our home

We have nothing to live for any more

You take this away

You may as well take our lives

I will lay here

Me and the wife

They will find cinders

That will serve them right
