SLUG

I COULD FEEL YOU PUSH ME AWAY

AS SURE AS NIGHT WOULD FOLLOW DAY

THE SILENT LANGUAGE IN YOUR EYES

THAT SWEET CONTEMPT YOU COULD NOT DISGUISE

MY HEART WAS CRYING AS I FORCED A SMILE

AND SAID I’D SEE YOU IN A WHILE

TEARS LIKE RAINDROPS BEHIND THE CLOUDS

WAITING TO BURST, BUT STILL TOO PROUD.

TOO PROUD TO ADMIT HOW WRONG I, D BEEN

TO HAVE PUT MY TRUST IN ONE SO OBSENE

TO HAVE TRIED TO SEE THE GOOD INSIDE

OF ANOTHER BEING WHO WAS SO SNIDE.

I TRIED AND TRIED TO BREAK THE ICE

TO FIND REDEMPTION IN YOUR VICE

YOU SEEMED TO LIKE ME, TO HAVE RESPECT

YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS DID REFLECT

AN INNER KINDNESS OF A WOUNDED SOUL

OF ONE WHO COULD NOT BE SO COLD

BUT NOW I LIVE TO KNOW DEEP DOWN

THAT I COULD NEVER CHANGE THAT FROWN

A HUNDRED SMILERS WILL COME YOUR WAY

BUT NONE CAN STOP YOUR DEEP DECAY

IM SORRY THAT IT TOOK ME THIS TIME

TO UNDERSTAND YOUR PATH OF SLIME

A MAN WHO LIVES INSIDE A SHELL

WHERE NOTHING GROWS AND SECRETS DWELL

BUT LIKE A SNAIL, TO A WALL YOU CLING

AND I WAS JUST ANOTHER FLING……………………………………………………

 

 

BE GENTLE WITH THE HUMAN SPIRIT

ITS WEAK AND VERY BRITTLE, 

IT DON’T TAKE MUCH TO BREAK IT UP

IT ONLY TAKES A LITTLE.

A LITTLE COLDNESS, LACK OF CARE

DISRESPECTING FEELINGS

A LITTLE INCONSIDERATION

OR CRUEL AND HEARTLESS DEALINGS

JUST A TIP CAN SEND IT OVER

THE DEEP AND TRAGIC EDGE

INTO THE DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT

ONTO LIFE’S ENDING LEDGE

FOR ALL OUR WAYS, FOR ALL OUR WAYS

WE CRUMBLE LIKE THE SAND

WHEN LIFE BETRAYS US AND THE HURT

IS FROM THAT OF ANOTHER HAND

SO BE CAREFUL WITH THE HUMAN SPIRIT

REMEMBER HOW FRAIL IT CAN BE

AND IF YOU CRUSH ANOTHER SOUL

YOUR HAPPINESS MAY CEASE TO BE……………………….

WOMAN

WOMAN, STRONGER THAN THE FIERCEST LION

WOMAN SO POWERFUL, SO DIVINE

WOMAN, MEN WILL BREAK HER HEART

TRY TO TAKE HER SOUL APART.

WOMAN, KEEPING ALL TOGETHER

STRENGTH OF AN OX

IN STORMY WEATHER

WOMAN NURTURING, CARING DEEP

MOPPING BROWS, PUTTING TO SLEEP.

WOMAN, UNDERVALUED OH SO MUCH

HER BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT

HER ANGELIC TOUCH

WOMAN, STRENGTH THOROUGH GENERATIONS

MOPPING UP FROM MAN’S DEVASTATIONS

VICTIMS OF WAR, PROTECTING YOUNG

A CRY OF VICTORY NOT HEARD SUNG

AS SHE KEEPS THE WORLD FOREVER SPINNING

ALWAYS THE LOSER, NEVER WINNING.

WOMAN KEPT DOWN AND BOUND SO TIGHT

AND YET SHE STILL KEEPS UP THE FIGHT.

WOMAN YOU ARE SO AMAZING

AND YOUR FIRE’S FOREVER BLAZING

WOMAN WITH THE STRENGTH OF A LION

EVERY GLOWING AND SO DIVINE…………….

 

 

KINDNESS…….

KINDNESS DOESN’T LIVE HERE NO MORE

A LOVING HUG, A GENTLE WORD,

A LINGERING KISS, A SOFT CARESS

A CALMING SMILE TO EAST THE STRESS.

KINDNESS PACKED IT’S BAGS AND LEFT

LEAVING HER, ALONE, BEREFT

HE DOESN’T EVEN REALISE

HOW RAW SHE IS IN HER DISGUISE.

HE TOOK HIS KINDNESS LONG AGO

AND NOW THEIRS NOTHING LEFT TO SHOW.

SHE TRIED AND TRIED TO GET IT BACK

BEGGING, PLEADING TILL SHE CRACKED

AND NOW THE DESERT BECKONS ON

NO OASIS IN THE HOT HOT SUN

ONLY NEVER ENDING SAND

A WANDERING GHOST

IN NO MANS LAND

KINDNESS LEFT AND PACKED ITS BAGS

NOW HER HEAVY FEET SHE DRAGS

THE DESERT OF LIFE CAN BE LIKE HELL

AND IN IT MANY PEOPLE DWELL

SO IF UPON YOUR WAY YOU FIND

A PERSON TO WHOM YOU CAN BE KIND

REMEMBER WHAT THESE WORDS DID SAY

KINDNESS CAN HELP THEM ON THEIR WAY.

EMPTINESS

TODAY THE WORLDS A LONELY PLACE

I LOOK AROUND AND SEE

HAPPY SMILING FACES

LOOKING BACK AT ME

BUT IN MY HEART I’M EMPTY

MY SOUL JUST FEELS SO DRY

LIKE AN ARID DESERT

I JUST WANT TO CRY

I DON’T WANT TO BE A NUISANCE

A MOANER OR A PEST

GOD KNOWS IN THIS LIFETIME

I ALWAYS DO MY BEST

I FEEL THAT THERE IS NOTHING

I FEEL SO DEAD INSIDE

I CANNOT FEEL A FEELING

MY FACE I WANT TO HIDE

I HOPE IT PASSES QUICKLY

THIS LIVING HELL I FEEL

NOBODY TO TALK TO

WANTING IT TO HEAL

A GAPING WOUND SO BLEEDING

THE PAIN IT IS SO SHARP

A KNIFE HAS MADE ITS IMPACT

UPON MY TENDER HEART

I FEEL I AM A LONER

WALKING A DARK ROAD

HOPING FOR A SIGNAL

A LIGHT, TO LIFT MY LOAD

I FEEL SO VERY DESPERATE

THE LIGHT IS FADING FAST

I’M GOING TOWARDS THE DARKNESS

WHERE ILL BE FREE AT LAST

FREE FROM THE CONFUSION

OF LIFE AND ALL ITS WOES

ALL THE PAIN INSIDE A HEART

ON AND ON IT GOES

HELP ME IN THE DARKNESS

IF IT BE YOUR WILL

OTHERWISE I’L SAY GOODBYE

AND FINALLY I’M STILL…………………

 

 

THE HUMAN BEING

STRONG AS THE OCEAN DEEP AND BLUE

FIERCE AS THE COLD NORTH WIND

SOLID AS THE ICE BERGS IN THE DEEP

SELDOM UNDERPINNED

HARD AS ROCKS OF LAVA

TOUGH AS THE IVORY TUSK

ALWAYS A FIGHTING WARRIOR

WEARING A FEARLESS MUSK

AND YET IN A PART SO SECRET

THAT NOBODY EVER SEES

A TENDER PART EXISTED

COMPILED OF MANY NEEDS

A PART THAT ONLY SHE KNEW

AND NOBODY ELSE COULD TOUCH

THE PLACE THAT SHE WOULD GO TO

WHEN LIFE BECAME TOO MUCH

AND THERE SHE’D LET HER TEARS FLOW

CRASHING LIKE A TIDE

NOBODY EVER SAW THEM

SHE KEPT IT ALL INSIDE

THE FEELING OF DESPERATION

THE IMPLOSION FULL OF PAIN

CRYING LIKE A WEREWOLF

ALL HER TEARS IN VAIN

SHE TRUSTED IN ANOTHER

FOR JUST THIS ONCE SHE SAID

KNOWING THAT SHE SHOULDN’T HAVE

NOW WISHING SHE WAS DEAD

KNOWING THAT THE PAIN WOULD PASS

BUT DESPAIRING ALL THE SAME

SHE WISHED SHE HAD JUST WALKED ON BY 

WHEN HE CALLED HER NAME

SO REMEMBER ALL YOU MEN FOLK

WHO PROMISE TO BE TRUE

HOW EASY IT IS TO BREAK A HEART

AND MAKE ANOTHER BLUE

EVEN THE STRONGEST WARRIOR

CAN BE CUT THROUGH AND LEFT TO BLEED

SHE IS A HUMAN BEING

AND SHE HAS A NORMAL NEED

DON’T GO MAKING PROMISES

YOU KNOW YOU CANNOT KEEP

IT NEVER IS AN HONOUR 

TO MAKE ANOTHER WEEP

THE WARRIOR WILL RECOVER

HER SECRET PLACE SHE’LL LEAVE

BUT NOW HER SHIELD WILL BE STRONGER

A THICKER WEB SHE’LL WEAVE

AND NEVER TRUST ANOTHER

FOR AS LONG AS SHE WILL LIVE

AND TO ANOTHER HUMAN BEING

HER LOVE SHE WILL NOT GIVE

WHICH IS A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY

FOR A WARRIOR SO STRONG AND GOOD

THAT A REALLY EVIL BEING

DECEIVED HER IN HIS HOOD

A HOOD THAT HID A SMILE SO SICK

AS HE TOOK AWAY HER SOUL

AND DASHED HER FEELINGS TO THE GROUND

AS HER DIGNITY HE STOLE

BUT IN THE END GOD HELP HIM

FOR AS WE ALL DO KNOW

THE FIRES OF HELL ARE WAITING

TO WELCOME HIM BELOW

SO YOU BE STRONG MY WARRIOR

YOU WILL FIGHT ANOTHER DAY

FOR HUMAN ACTS OF KINDNESS

TO GUIDE YOU ON YOUR WAY

AND LEAVE THAT RED HORNED CREATURE

FOR THE DEVIL LOVES HIS OWN

PUT YOUR HEAD UP HIGH NOW

AND LEAVE THE DANGER ZONE

GOODBYE TO ALL HIS BADNESS

HIS EVILNESS HIS DISEASE

NO AMOUNT OF KINDNESS 

WILL HIS BADNESS YOU APPEASE

GATHER UP YOUR WEAPONS

WHICH ARE YOUR PRIDE, YOUR LOVE

YOUR DIGNITY AND SELF RESPECT

THE GIFTS FROM GOD ABOVE

AND GO FORTH IN THE MARCH OF LIFE

NEVER TURN AROUND

AND YOU WILL FIND YOUR HEARTS CONTENT

CONTENTMENT WILL BE FOUND

CONTINUE ON MY WARRIOR

BEING KIND ALONG THE WAY

I WILL STAND BESIDE YOU

AND WE’LL FIGHT ANOTHER DAY………………………………………

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Loneliness

LONELINESS IS SUCH A CRIPPLING DISEASE

A DESPERATION WHICH NOUGHT WILL APEASE

A DEEP DARK FEELING DEEP IN THE SOUL

YOUR BODY TRAPPED IN A DEEP DARK HOLE

HANDS BOUND AND BODY SO TIGHT

NOT EVEN ABLE TO PUT UP A FIGHT

A DEEP DARK PLACE, ALL EXITS BARRED

TO MANY YEARS OF BEING SCARRED

TO END IT ALL WOULD BRING SUCH RELIEF

SO UTTERLY BOUND BY AWFUL GRIEF

NO LIGHT IN A TUNNEL SO LONG AND BLACK

TRYING TO LOOK FORWARD WITH NO WAY BACK

FEELING SO DEAD, SO STILL, SO INATE

HOPING TOMORROW THE THOUGHTS WILL ABAIT

WISHING AND HOPING AGAINST ALL ODDS

FOR SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN, STATUES OF GODS

HURTING, CRYING, SCREAMING IN PAIN

WONDERING IF YOU ARE GONE INSANE

GIVE ME SOME SOLACE AND LET MY EYES CLOSE

AND WHEN I AWAKE NO LONGER FROZE

PLEASE LORD IF YOU’RE REALLY THERE

HELP ME PASS THIS BURDEN SO BARE

TAKE THE WEIGHT FROM MY SHOULDERS TIGHT

AND GUIDE ME TOWARDS A DAY SO BRIGHT

GIVE ME HOPE AND GIVE ME LIGHT

TO RAGE AGAINST THE DYING NIGHT

AND I WILL TY TO STAY SO STRONG

AND HELP TO SING ANOTHER SONG……..

YOU MADE ME SMILE!

YOU MADE ME SMILE

FOR A LITTLE WHILE

YOUR SILLY LIES

YOUR HIDDEN DISGUISE

LIVING IN A DREAM

NOT ALL YOU SEEM

SO POIGNANTLY SAD

OR IS IT MAD?

FEIGNING ASPIRATIONS

IN UTTER DESPERATION

SO EMASCULATED

UTTERLY FRUSTRATED

PRISONER OF PERCEPTION

LIVING IN DECEPTION

ALTER EGO USING

THINKING YOU’RE CONFUSING

YOU ARE SO NOT DEEP

AS YOUR TEARS YOU WEEP

AND WEEP YOU WILL FOREVER

WHILE WITH EVERYONE YOU SEVER

NEVER KNOWING PEACE OF MIND

TO YOUR TORMENT YOU ARE BLIND

ALL I DO I SAY A PRAYER

AND HOPE YOU WILL FIND

PEACE SOMEWHERE

YOU MADE ME SMILE

FOR A LITTLE WHILE!

 

OSCAR

OSCAR YOU WERE SUCH A LEGEND LIVING IN THE WRONG TIME

IF ONLY WE COULD BRING YOU BACK, NOW THAT WOULD BE DEVINE

NO ONE CAN COMPARE TO YOU, YOUR WIT, YOUR WAYS, YOUR STYLE

A MAN OF GREAT IMPORTANCE WHO WAS YEARS AHEAD OF  TIME

YOUR OBSERVATIONS PERFECT, YOUR TAKE ON LIFE ASTUTE

YOU COULD NOT HIDE YOUR FEELINGS, SO EAGER TO BRING TRUTH

LIKE MANY OF US LIVING, YOU PLAYED THE GAME OF LIFE

AGAINST YOUR BETTER JUDGEMENT, YOU WENT AND TOOK A WIFE

IT WAS WHAT THEY ALL EXPECTED, A VICTIM OF THE TIMES

SOCIETY DID ENFORCE YOU TO ENACT THE WELL READ LINES

BUT IN THE END YOU SUFFERED, YOUR FATE WAS PURELY SEALED

THE LOVE THAT DARE NOT SPEAK ITS NAME, YOUR SECRET WAS REVEALED

EXILED TO A LIFE LONELINESS, A WASTE OF TALENT RAW

NOT ACKNOWLEDGED, JUST CONDEMNED FOR WHAT THEY CALLED A ‘FLAW’

THEY MIGHT HAVE ISOLATED YOU AND HOPED YOU’D GO AWAY

BUT HOW THEY FAILED SO MISERABLY IS EVIDENT TODAY

FOR EVEN WHEN YOUR SOUL PASSED ON, YOUR WRITING STILL REMAINS

AND ALWAYS WILL DEAR OSCAR, TRUE BEAUTY ALWAYS REIGNS

YOUR STORIES AND DRAMAS, YOUR SAYINGS AND YOUR WIT

WILL LIVE ON NOW FOREVER WHILE ON YOUR THRONE YOU’LL SIT

YOU LEFT US WITH A GIFT SO GREAT, A GOLDEN CHEST OF TREASURE

AND NOW IT HAS PROVIDED US, A LIFETIME FULL OF PLEASURE

LOLLIPOPS

WANNA LICK MY LOLLIPOP?

ITS SWEET, ITS TASTY TOO

I’M FUSSY WHO I SHARE IT WITH

BUT I’LL GIVE IT TO YOU

I KNOW YOU WONT BE GREEDY

I KNOW YOU WILL BE NICE

I WILL BE YOUR SWEETNESS

YOU WILL BE MY SPICE

TOGETHER WE WILL TASTE IT

AND SAVOR THE SENSATION

INFUSING FLAVOURS O SO SWEET

CAUSING SUCH ELATION

CAN I LICK YOUR LOLLY TOO?

I WANT TO TASTE IT SO

I KNOW IT WILL BE AWSOME

I WANT TO LICK IT SLOW

AND TASTE IT DEEP AND FRUITY

AND THEN WE CAN COMPARE

WHO HAS THE NICEST LOLLY

I THINK ITS ONLY FAIR!
