Graffiti

This poem is written because of  One Stop Poetry ....Arts and Graffiti I chose this graffiti by Banksy as I find it so ironic

Graffiti 


Keep it neat !
tis our street 
We're all so prim
Scribbling is such a sin! 


Keep it smart! 
tisn't art !
We all have class
Self expression is so crass!

I think its neat, 
art's such a treat!
Banksy paint down our road, 
The middle classes have been vetoed. 
Parliament  have made a social treaty 
 Urbanites must embrace graffiti.

Graffiti By Banksy

Final Insult

Final Insult 

Today was the day I was stripped bare, 

Cruel words you said as if you didn't care, 

You verbally whipped every part of my soul,

Torturing my heart till it ran cold. 

So here you leave me all alone! 

My spirit dying! 

No longer on my throne, 

Mentally crying! 

Cos of the love of another you've shown. 

The void that you've left never to be filled, 

For every sweet feeling, I ever had you have killed, 

Anger, Sorrow, Hate is all I can feel. 

So here you leave me all alone, 

My spirit dying! 

No longer on my  throne, 

Mentally crying !

Cos of the love of another you have shown. 

Tender words or a soft caress, 

Can't heal or make my pain less, 

Forever to live in this perpetual nightmare,

So whose to blame for stripping me bare? 

You the one who promised he'd always care!

So here I am all alone, 

My spirit dead! 

No longer on my throne, 

My tears all shed 

Cos of the love of another you've been shown

For a poem inspired by a song ...Tainted Love by Soft Cell inspired this !

For Amy

This Little ditty is written on my Daughters Birthday ( who is loved lots ) she is to be married next year to a lovely chap So this dedicated to her.

For Amy 

My Pre-Raphaelite child,
With her tonal golden hair, 

A face illuminated by her smile,

Her demeanour totally unaware. 

My Pre- Raphaelite Teen,

With her tonal golden hair, 

Her body entombed in jeans,

A style she wore with flair!

My Pre- Raphaelite woman,

With your tonal golden hair, 

Your love of life your omen,

A gift if ever to share !

My Pre- Raphaelite offspring,

With your tonal golden hair, 

A love date set for your wedding

To a groom who loves to care !

What more could we wish for 

My Pre-Raphaelite Child !

Cinders Wishes

Cinders Wishes 

 

This is my fella 

To him I am his Cinderella

He adores me with such  a passion 

Working endlessly to figure the latest fashion 

What he seems to

 forget 

 That time, love perhaps a walk in the park

Would make my heart sing  

like the sweetest skylark

Not trying to sculpt my perfect shoes 

For,

Love

Is what my Prince Charming 

Could lose !

Awakenings

Awakenings 

A grey, dooming fog encroaches my heart, 

Shivers tingle, throughout my being. 

Life yearning for a jump- start

As the darkness begins its fleeing!

Assaulted cruelly by bright glare, 

Eyes slowly, unhinge... sleepily .

Brain gently engaged, suddenly aware! 

Sleepy visions had possessed me deeply.

Bright rays embalm my soul and mind, 

Warmth stirs my creativity, 

Monsters long left behind ,

Sunshine has given me my liberty.

God is a Rap Star

A bit different for me and kind of experimental 

God is a Rap Star 

gather round the hood, 

this gig's gonna be loud 

gonna be well good 

Gonna make us well proud! 

cos 

god is a rap star!

gather round the hood 

the vibe is heavy,dark

gonna be wicked, it should !

gonna rain hard,gonna need an ark!

cos

 god is a rap star 

gather round the hood 

there's a rumble in our jungle

Gonna be mega, it could!

Gonna flash,gonna spangle!

cos

 god is a rap star! 

its wicked in the hood 

flashes and mega loud, 

chillin in the rain ,its good!

a wicked thunderous crowd 

cos 

god is a rap star!

Let The Sun Shine

Let The Sun Shine 

Light splinters falling among

 Human constructed monstrosity 

Rays battle against human atrocity

Licking space hungrily like eager tongues,

Its radiance and beauty 

Go unsung, 

Its warmth undone,

By a concrete army !
