RECORDING OF 'POETRY FOR ALL' The original version & New Version on Soundcloud
With grateful thanks to Ian Bradley Marshall for recording 'Poetry For All' a must listen to for all Poetry writers and lovers
THE STAIRS TO YOUR HEART
THE STAIRS TO YOUR HEART
The long, long trudge
Up those slippery, slimy and oily grunge
The wooden planks
That caused a lot of pranks
The metal studs that were made with thanks
Thanks they hurt so much!
They pierced the soul
My very whole
The precarious
The hazardous
The perilous
Rickety, rackety uncertainty
You became hesitantly
Tentatively and
doubtfully
Why? Why? Oh why?
When all I do is try, try and try!
And all I hear are your long drawn out sighs!
So why should I bother?
Is it too much of a bother?
Can you not be bothered?
To meet me half way
This way, that way!
Or anyway!
That way we can reach each other’s hearts
Where we will never be apart

THOUGHTFUL
THOUGHTFUL
Very thoughtful
This empty mind
This empty skeleton
Ever thoughtful
Ever so thoughtless
Empty thoughts
Full of thoughts
What are your thoughts?
Just have these thoughts
Thoughts
Spinning and spinning
Brimming over with them all
The mind agog
Jeeps a fog
Must clear them thoughts
Oh dear they’ve gone
Now what can ponder over and fill my mind
with thoughts
Any thoughts anyone?
Cos I’m done
