need a push

This blokes in bed with his missus when there s a rat-a-tat-tat on the
door.

He rolls over and looks at his clock, and it's half three in the morning.
Sod that for a game of soldiers, he thinks, and rolls over.

Then, a louder knock follows. "Aren't you going to answer that" says his
wife so he drags himself out of bed, and goes downstairs.
He opens the door and this bloke is stood outside.

"Eh mate" says the stranger, "can you give us a push??"
"No, piss off, it's half three. I was in bed" says the man and shuts the
door.

He goes back up to bed and tells his wife what happened and she says
"Dave, you are a twat. Remember that night we broke down in the pouring
rain on the way to pick the kids up from the babysitter and you had to
knock on that man's house to get us started again? What would have
happened if he'd told us to piss off??"

So he gets out of bed again, gets dressed, and goes downstairs. He opens
the door, and not being able to see the stranger anywhere he shouts: "Eh
mate, do you still want a push??" and he hears a voice cry out "Yeah
please mate."

So, still being unable to see the stranger he shouts: "Where are you?"

and he replies:

"I'm over here on the swings."

Heartache

When you left I felt so heart broken

Like nothing would make sense anymore

You spoke but I could not understand

Your lips moved and as the words fell from your lips

The heartbreak touched my body my finger tips

You told me your excuses like it would ease the pain

But I couldn’t look at you

Couldn’t look at you the same again

You said that your ship was about to sail

I wished for it to sink you deep in the ocean

To take you under

You broke my heart

My head was torn I would never be the same again

It was easy for you

You didn’t seem to feel the pain

But someday you will

When that person breaks up with you

You will get back what you gave

Life has away of catching up with us

Karma can be hard

Life can be tough

As I sat alone on the edge of the hill

I see your smile so clearly

I know I want you still

You will never understand what you meant to me

As I sob my heart out alone I feel a chill

No arms to protect me

No hands to wash my tears

No comforting words

To keep away my fears

I know that I will move on from here

But for now I want you back I want you dear

So I hope you make a good life for yourself

As I am sure I will too

I know there will be no one else

There will be no one else like you

What are friends for

I turn to you I know I can

I trust in you

My deepest secrets

When I down your always there

You always listen

You always care

You’re the one

Who picks me up

When I am down

You’re the one who says to me

Turn that frown upside down

You’re the one the makes everything alright

You’re the one who doesn’t go out of sight

I know I will be there for you

Like you are for me

I know that we have a bond like no other

That no one else can see

When times are hard

You pick me up

You dust me off

You chip away the rough

The layers that I try to hide behind

You know each and everyone of them

You can see through me

You’re not blind

When I smile even tough I do feel sad

You seen to know what is wrong with me

To have you by my side

To have you protecting me

I am glad

You are my gladiator

You are my shield

I am your instrument

We sometimes get lost in this field

I am glad that we are like two peas in pod

I am fulfilled and lucky to have you here

I will always love you my dear

My Paradise

As the mountains touch the sand kissed edge

As the sea slips into the beaches bed

The birds take flight over head

Nature forces wild life to their sheltered place

The wind it brushes the waves up against the rocks

The grassy moss dangles off the cold stones

The colours of purple and pink

Mountains so old

The sand is dark like nothing I have seen before

This isolated island is something the eye can not ignore

The road is narrow nothing between you and the sea

If you were to loose control no one else would see

My heart is beating fast

My breath is fast and slow

But this adventure is and its wonders

Makes me want to go on more

Sitting on the blanket of brown dusty sand

Touching this wonder with my soft silky hand

It prints itself like a fossil inside of me

I will never forget this place

It’s a lovely little paradise

Of purist scenery

You will leave foot prints in the sand

It will leave memories in your heart and mind

A picture could not explain all its beauty

This is a place you would just have to see

For now I will keep it my to myself

My paradise you see

100% of Me

As I try to come up with a poem

I give all that I can give

I do the best to make it clear

Not let the words go through a sieve

I look at what is around me

I tell the stories

Of young and old

Brash and bold

I look in to the eyes of those

I find fascinating

I look to find their story

Of what is happening

The things that happen in my life

Have helped me structure my writing

When I am in my bed trying to sleep at night

My thoughts and ideas hit me like lightening

This is when the best ones come

But I am to tired you see

To put pen to paper

It is too much effort you see

I love to look at a picture

And imagine the artist story

I write what I think it is about

And all about its glory

So when I write it is from the heart

I am  me pushing myself you see

To come up with the best description of who I am

I am 100% percent me  

I am not to Blame

Why should I feel bad for the trouble you had
You brought this on the people
You made this bad feeling sad
Now we have to pay for your negligence
It is at our cost at our expense

You have the people on their knees
Waiting for help from overseas
Bailouts and bond holders
We have heard the lot
Where is the money gone from the honey pot

New tax’s introduced that no one can pay
Protest and rally’s organised right away
The people stand up for what they believe
Not stand by those who did deceive

Take from your own
When people are on the dole on the floor
They have lost their homes and income
There are no jobs there any more

Why should I apologise for something that was beyond me
Why should the people have to say sorry?
It was none of their doing
They were just trying to get by
They now have to bare the brunt of the Celtic tigers eye

So review your budget now
See what must come next
But while your cosy in your bed
Don’t forget this is a lot more complex
Talk to the people include them in your plans
Stop throwing away peoples income
Into empty frying pans

The Title

I send and reply to your request
I do my best to beat the rest
I pick my brains to find deep inside of me
A Title that is worthy of me

So as I sit here wondering what it is you look for
What is your genre of skill?
What is your looking for?
Sitting here my mind stands still

At last it comes into my thoughts
It hits me like a flash of light
Even tough the night closes in
I try and give it my own little spin

I send this idea of mine to you
Hoping it will catch your attention and approval
When I wake in the morn to read your wonderful comment
You feel like it is suitable

You tell me you had something similar in mind
I know my idea was not anything
That I got it right I didn’t jump in blind
I hope it inspires you
Your words are very kind
