David Bull - Should I Die Tonight?

Should I Die Tonight?


WHO WILL MISS ME WHEN I DIE

INTOXICATE MY MIND
TO LOSE ALL MY FEARS
DON’T WORRY THERE WILL BE NO TEARS

CASTRATE MY SOUL
ALL THINGS IN LIFE
THEY HAVE TAKEN THERE TOLL

WHO WILL MISS ME WHEN I DIE
WILL I FLOAT OR WILL I FRY
WHO WILL MISS ME WHEN I DIE

David Bull - Silence Hush Silence

Silence Hush Silence

SILENCE HUSH SILENCE
I HEAR SILENCE
NOW HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE
TO HEAR SOMETHING THAT HAS NO SOUND
SILENCE HUSH SILENCE

I DON’T BELIEVE IN SILENCE
NOISE IS EVERYWHERE
THERES NO SILENCE ITS TRUE
CAN YOU STOP THE NOISES IN YOUR HEAD
FOR PURE SILENCE

THIS INTRIGUE AND BELIEF
OF NO SILENCE
NO PEACE NO STILLNESS
SILENCE HUSH SILENCE
I DON’T BELIEVE IN SILENCE

David Bull - The Lying Beast

The Lying Beast


WHATS WITH THE LIES I CRY
NOT ALOUD JUST INSIDE

HURTFUL ACCUSERS KNOW NOTHING
ONLY THEIR OWN NOISE THEY MAKE

TRYING TO CREATE DISTURBANCE AND RIFTS
THEY WON’T BREAK ME DOWN

NEED TO CONTROL THIS BURNING RAGE
HATEFUL REVENGE TO MAKE THEM PAY AND SUFFER

THEIR DISEASE THEY SPREAD
I WON’T GIVE UP MY OWN LOYALTY

David Bull - Odd

Odd

I FEEL MY HEAD EXPLODING

I FEEL I CAN’T RELATE

I DON’T NEED THIS PRESSURE PINCHING

I JUST WANT TO INTOXICATE

I FEEL I CAN’T GET BY

SOMETIMES I WANT TO DIE

IF IT MEANS I CANNOT CRY

I’M LEFT WITH ONE GOODBYE

Muntanga Mudenda - I Wanted A Man

I Wanted A Man

I wanted a man
Who understands me
Cares for me
Supports me
Is my biggest fan
A man who knows how to have fun
Picks me up when I’m down
My personal clown
Surprises me, presents me a flower
Challenges me when I’m wrong, he does not cower
Cherishes the moments we spend together
Dreads those we spend away from each other
A man who loves me
A man whose d**k won’t work without me
There, I said it!
Don’t we all?

I found such a man
With sparks it all began
My freedom became history
His love a pyrrhic victory
Lost more than I gained
Forgot to add he must be God-ordained

I lost the man
Wolf in sheep’s clothing
Used condom, I found the very thing
I thought we were “waiting”
I had a dress and everything.

David Bull - Paranoid

Paranoid

WHY ARE THEY LOOKING AT ME
INTENSE ATMOSPHERE FEELING LIKE A FREAK
TOO MANY VOICES IN MY HEAD
SO MUCH PAIN ITS MAKING ME TENSE

ACHING HEAD MAKES NO SENSE
WHAT YOU SEE’S NOT WHAT YOU GET
ALTERNATE THOUGHTS CHANGE AND STEAL
WHAT I FEEL IS SO UNREAL

WHY CAN’T THEY GET OUT OF MY MIND
I DON’T NEED THEIR VOICES AND THEIR LIES
I JUST WANT TO MAKE THEM SUFFER AND DRAIN
LET THEM ALL PLAY THIS GAME

Novid Shaid - You Can’t Judge A Bloke By Appearance

You Can’t Judge A Bloke By Appearance

I’ll never forget, when my ears were still wet,

and I learned one of life’s painful lessons.

I won’t be surprised if you’ve learned this yourself,

you can’t judge a bloke by appearance.


It was when I was ten, when the days didn’t end,

I was having a really bad hair day.

My fringe: quite misshapen, my sideburns: forsaken,

so mum said: “Get a haircut and hairspray!”


I entered soon after, the Italian barbers,

whose hair was considerably wavy.

He gave me a wink, and a curious blink

by habit; he was a little bit crazy.


I sat with a gig, by a bloke with a wig,

just sitting there, minding my business.

When I glanced straight ahead at the barber’s mirror,

the sight that I saw left me speechless.


He sat there, a giant, an abominable tyrant,

with a scar on his face which made him look fiery.

His skin was as tough as the mail of a titan

And to top it off, he was glaring right at me!


I panicked, dismayed, looking the other way,

this bloke sent me in a fit of tight shivers.

He looked like a butcher, or a serial killer

and I’m sure that he wanted my liver!


Perhaps he would rob us, right after his haircut

tie us up and never release us.

He’d break us in two, feed us to his wolves,

I was trapped by this human tyrannosaurus.


The terror entwined in my innocent mind,

when suddenly I came to my senses.

The barber had finished his last ever haircut

and above me towered my nemesis.


I was stuck to my chair by his punishing stare

as he stood arching over the barber.

He reached in his pocket; my heart was a rocket,

any minute he’d brandish a chain-saw!


I gripped onto my seat, accepting defeat,

despairing, I was too young for mass murders.

When the barber just stood there and looked at this man-bear and said:

“Are you up for some snooker?”


I thought that was queer, questioning my ears,

has our barber turned totally barmy?

This man for his humour would torture a panda,

He replied: “Yer I’ll play; then we’ll order a curry!”


My heart went berserk, like a surge of fireworks,

I realised he wasn’t a murderous zombie!

Not a man from the mountains or chainsaw wielder

He was one of the barber’s old cronnies!


This man paid and left, giving me no eye contact,

and I just sat there feeling terribly stupid.

I misjudged his appearance out of sheer prejudice

and from then on, my world seemed to broaden.


So I tell you in case, you see a strange face,

which fills you with fear and suspicions.

Just remember my tale, which ended in shame

You just can’t judge a bloke by appearance!

Lady Dalston - No Title

I'm going to Libertine my life away
But I have to work, so that I can play all day
There is something uniquely bizarre about I say
For work is for those who wish to toil away

But if you are finished, or can get off around five
Come and knock on a door to the house that is like a hive
Full of people coming and going, it seems alive
Though there are those that would call it a dive

But if you are daring, take my hand and follow me
To a land that is all utopias and free
Bring any spare, borrowed or stolen money
And leave behind normality
Forget that festering humanity
And return to a state of animality
And fucking brilliant abnormality
Where you can see the universe in its totality
And talk to God satanically
And play around with the stars of eternity
Have a chat with Jesus about his paternity
And mess around with sexuality
And flirt with yourself seductively
But when you think it is all going perfectly
And life is going so splendidly
It'll all end most disappointingly

But don't you worry, we'll be here
To tuck your hair behind your ear
As you vomit up your fear
Of living in the real world each day, each year

But don't you worry, we'll be right here
We're down here, waiting for you my dear
But you chose to live out there, not here
We like it in here, each day, each year

We sing songs of love and lust
Of flowers and clementines
Of tragedies and what we must
Of all the things we have seen

We'll wait for you, that you can trust
To go back to where we have been
We'll keep your place free of others and dust
Our lovely Libertine

Muntanga Mudenda - We Skipped Friendship

We Skipped Friendship

We skipped friendship
Became lovers entwined
By lust
Oh how could you let such fire burn
To dust
Our love's ashes crashed down
From a chimney of chemistry
Our love's sine always peaking
Your twisted trigonometry
Tick-tick-tock
Oh how quickly WE became history
US became I
YOU became THAT
I became THIS
Wounded
Butterflies reversed into caterpillars
Gnawing my insides
Squirming to extinction
But- not before raping 2 ventricles
Your sick thirst
Made my tears run dry

But tears would not suffice
Once again

We skipped friendship
Became strangers un-twined.

David Bull - Alone (The Fear)

Alone (The Fear)


SITTING HERE ALL ALONE
ANOTHER NIGHT ANOTHER TIME
CRAZY WAYS BEEN BETTER DAYS
LOSERS VIEW THAT’S NOTHING NEW

SEMI CONCIOUS DREAMS IN ME
FEELINGS OF WORTHLESS SELF PITY
CRIMES IN MIND THE HANDS OF TIME
HOPING FOR A SIMPLE SIGN

IS IT TIME TO GET AWAY
TO FIND MYSELF A BETTER DAY
OR CAN IT BE LIKE IT WAS BEFORE
WHEN NO ONE EVER SHUT THE DOOR

TIME IS SLIPPING AWAY FROM ME
CAN I EVER REALLY CHANGE
MUST MOVE FORWARD NOT LIVE IN THE PAST
THIS TIME MUST MAKE IT LAST

FEAR HAS GRABBED HOLD OF ME
IS IT EVER GOING TO LET ME BE
FEAR HAS GRABBED HOLD OF ME
IS IT EVER GOING TO LET ME BE

Emma Drinkwater - Him

Him

He looked at me often,

His blue eyes staring into my soul.


He hugged me when I needed warmth,

His body protected me from the outside world.


He held my hand when no-one looked,

His fingers entwined with mine.


He gave me my first kiss,

His lips soft and gentle.


He called me beautiful no matter how I looked,

His smile reassured me.


He told me he wanted to be with me,

His voice made it sound so believable.


He said he loved me,

He lied.

David Bull - The Killler

The Killer

HE’S FELT YOUR PRESENCE
PRE CONCEPTION
FEELINGS SPOILT WITH HATE

MAY NOT WANT IT
BUT HE NEEDS IT
CUTS YOUR LIFE AWAY

HIS SHARPENED BLADE
GOT NO CONCIENCE
BEATEN BY YOUR FATE

HIS STALKING NATURE
FILLED WITH HATRED
HE NEEDS TO FIND A WAY

BODIES SWEATING
HEART IS RACING
IT’S TIME TO DIE TODAY

SCHIZOPHRENIC CRIES
PARANOID LIES
BURIES YOU WHERE YOU LAY

POWER GLORY
DEVIL FURY
HE’LL MAKE YOU WASTE AWAY

David Bull - Dying Man

Dying Man


ONE TOGETHER
FREE FOREVER
MAKE IT BETTER
LEAVE MY BODY
DON’T FEEL SORRY
FOR ME

LOSE MYSELF
IN MYSELF
ALLS NOT WELL
FILLED WITH FEAR
SHED A TEAR
NO ONES HERE
FOR ME

David Bull - Heal the Pain

Heal the Pain

OH MY GOD WHY DON’T YOU TAKE ME
YOU SEE ME IN THE STREET
SCARS ON MY WRIST
WHY DO YOU LEAVE ME
IS THIS THE WAY I’M MEANT TO BE
WHY DO YOU STARE AT ME
I’M AS WHITE AS A GHOST

I DON’T WANT TO COME DOWN
GOT TO FLEE FROM THIS TOWN
IT’S KILLING ME
CAN’T YOU SEE
IT’S KILLING ME
JUST WANT TO LOSE MYSELF
TO FIND OUT WHATS IN MYSELF
SHEDDING LOTS OF TEARS
RELIVING ALL MY FEARS

WHY DID YOU PUT ME DOWN
I DID NOTHING TO YOU
YOUR’E THE IGNORANT ONE
YOU DID THIS TO ME
DON’T WANT TO LIVE LIKE YOU
I NEED TO BE FREE

HEAL THE PAIN THAT’S INSIDE
ITS THIS BROKEN MANS WISH
JUST TO KEEP HIS PRIDE
FREE THE DEMONS OF MY LIFE
ITS THIS BROKEN MANS WISH
JUST TO STAY ALIVE

Jonathan Berry - If I was a tree

If I Was A Tree

The Trees in the world are like gods to me,
Standing tall, standing strong for all those to see,
Giving us the very air we breathe,
Routed deep in the ground finding strength underneath.

But we saw them down, they never complain
Their wood recycled again and again
We sit on their bodies as ours grow lazy
Stand for as long as a tree? You must be crazy.

From when we're born 'till we die "Is my cot gunna be oak or my coffin gunna be pine?"
And even we dine with fine wine on marble stained polished pine and mutter to your friends "Oh by the way….that's mine"

But I'd be a little hacked off if the trees took my blood, pumped it through an engine like diesel, stripped down my legs, used them as a tripod and my torso as the easel, used my fingers as brushes and my skin as the canvas. Rustle it's branches whilst repeating "I can't hear him complaining" as part of its guilt releasing mantras.

But as I admire the tree, I am of course hypercritically etching onto the paper on a nice wooden table, gazing at the lovely hand made (cough….wooden) conservatory, whilst admiring the garden and whispering with glee, "I like being human but…. I wish I was a tree".

A poem by Aaron.

Here is my own personal poem that I made:

For one moment,
you and I meet,
no time to waste,
no copy to paste,

I'll be straight,
you're not so smart,
but you make my day bright,
everytime you smile you make me light,

You make me dance,
Everytime you glance,
You make me stare as if I'm looking at the stars,
You make me chase as if were chasing in cars.

Oooops!

Hello everybody, I have just realised that you can not all post on my blogspot but can only comment on my posts, so in the future can you all please send me your poems in an email and I will then post them to the blog for you :)

The Introduction!

Hello everybody, my name is Samuel Berryman and today I have decided to setup this Blog to allow all you poets out there to post your very own poetry. Why you may ask? Well I have always loved reading poetry during my life but have never really liked writing it, however I also find it very hard to find new and unique poems to read since not everybody gets the chance to get their poems out there and onto the big world wide web, and so here it is, your very own space to post your poetry and get it reviewed by us, the readers. I hope you will all be sensible with what you post, but don't be afraid to post something different as that is what I am looking for. Thanks and hope you all enjoy.

Rose are red, violets are blue
Love never crossed my mind until
the day that I met you :P
