A beguiling sight
Sketches of all we’ve been through
As ghosts fill the park

Like they believed
In something,
Some misty force
With rules
And strange visions.
They sang songs
And perpetuated
Mythology,
Learnt
Their favourite notes
And improvised.
In times
Of great danger and woe
They kept on singing,
Even when the rooves
Of their dreams
Sadly sagged,
Songs filled their lives
And kept them
At ease.
Their bodies burnt quickly.
They were wildly naive.
Temporarily Broken
Posted in Poetry with tags british poet, british poetry, Manchester poetry, modern poetry, new poetry, poems, poetry blog, poetry examples, sadness, temporarily broken, UK poet on February 15, 2013 by dcDinner on the stairs,
A life unfair,
Makeshift dreams
And Tupperware,
Waking on the couch again,
The same old game
Of cat and mouse,
A house that echoes
Let’s go,
Let’s go,
Let’s go.
A slow routine
Of stumbled walking,
Mumbled talking
And drowned soliloquies,
A bed that teases lullabies
Then goes and cries
Into the pillow,
Curtains billow,
Whispering your name.
You’re temporarily broken,
Thoughts unspoken,
Bought with tokens
And all this because
You danced in the rain.
Hush
Posted in Poetry with tags british poetry, hush, love poem, love poetry, modern poetry, new poetry, poems, poetry blog, poetry examples, romance, romantic poetry, UK poet on February 9, 2013 by dcLet’s slump
On the ground
All angular,
Together,
The world
Invisible,
Your face
In my neck,
A gentle kiss
On my throat.
Let’s disappear,
Find a corner
Amidst the hustle,
A hideaway,
A sanctuary,
Close your eyes,
We breathe as one,
Beat as one
As the city blurs
And we are taken
By the moment,
All twisted limbs
And hush.
How Beautiful
Posted in Poetry with tags british poet, british poetry, how beautiful, modern poetry, new poetry, poetry blog, poetry examples, surreal poems on February 6, 2013 by dcHow beautiful
To never feed off hatred,
Sing songs of doom
And recompense
Or break a human smile.
It’s all so easy
To swallow,
One can wander
On such thoughts
And wonder
Till it echoes,
Till we’re all
Repeating fury
Like it’s supper
From the stars,
All just lapping waves
That ride the angry tide
And find themselves alive
But always asking why.
