The Vicar to the Actress






















Watched you take on all the men,
saw you conquer them and tame.
The strange old boards you tread,
in a bid for love and fame.

I felt strangely un-aroused,
as arousals grew and grew.
For the end to this here flick,
a conclusion we all knew.

So pick up your dress and pride,
exit stage there o’er the left.
From a life that stops the heart,
void of meaning and bereft.

For I never will exploit
your good nature once again.
I’m the Vicar to your Actress,
you’re the pleasure to my pain.

Realise my mortal fear,
a vision of the wraith.
I walked away alone,
with nothing left but faith.

Orwell











Orwell had it right,
got it to a tee.
Scanners at the airports
captive to ID.

Everyone is watched,
everyone is safe.
All correct and present,
each one knows their place.

Living life in fear,
paranoia rules.
Doctrine that’s prescribed,
birth to death we fools.

Listen can you hear
the hatching of their plan?
They f*cked it up in Iraq,
watch them smash Iran.

Are we all too blinkered,
blinded by the dread?
Orwell had it right,
and we're the living dead.

Dad


He smelt of booze and tabs,
but still he was my Dad.
He raped and beat my Mum,
but still I was his son.

He broke my heart and soul,
without him there’s a hole.
I’m feeling lost and sad,
still missing my old Dad.

Sunbeams & Rainbows


You were so complex.
Whether to hold you close
or decipher you?

Truth and fear.
So perfectly encapsulated,
within your Goddess being.

And I was yours.
Unachievable dreams,
false promises of new dawns.

You are my sunbeam and rainbow.
Beautiful break of colour,
on the rainiest of days.
