More Sohail poetry.........

Fragmented relics contract.
Embryonic orb ablaze ruptures wintry expanse.

Stranded

mosaic of dimensions.
Existing within a particle of

Another contribution from Sohail!

Lying among the corpses of the forgotten,
I awoke to find birds, teacups, planets and stars
In constant motion

The humans that I met would dissolve into teardrops.

Thought I'd submit this on behalf of my friend Sohail who lives in Manchester. He's just started writing poems again. This makes me happy!

Composed of mysterious atoms.
Part of nature’s brutal beauty.

She said "It's not enough to be here, when you're not

With your mistress your music"

She said "It's not enough that you try to make clear, if

I leave you alone you might lose it"

Go I won't let you

Is it too crowded there?
To get closer?
To my fair share?
Does it suit you?
To love a stupid boy
Who controls you
I lost the only war
With no soldiers

So here's an empty room
And yet it's full of

There's an urban myth with some people that everyone wrote a 9-11 song, well i'm afraid i did, this is it...

Well Bobby’s got a job now

Better play it cool Bobby

Dining with magpies
They just serve you up splinters
Setting fire to your warm clothes
Won't protect you from winter

You're in the void
Just watching the dead resurface
You're in the void
Your mindset destroyed

Don't put me down if I can't be there
I'll be around soon and you should know by now I care
And that I'd rather be in your sweet embrace
Than sitting here smoking my life away staring into space

Hole in the head.

Will has inspired me to put some of my music lyrical musings on, this one is very very definitly about someone who always really irritiated me, sort off, well... its about assuming you know what people mean, when you don't.

Fritter it Away

Sometimes
I lie
Awake at night
It’s a sign
Or a symptom of decline

From staring at computer screens
Attending to the fax machine

And the bus
It moves so slow like my day
Why should I feel so low?

Nothing but Hollow

Thu, 19 Oct 2006 13:52:41 +0100

I'm one empty vessel
Nothing but hollow
I believe that I would break down and cry
But I'm too numb for sorrow

I say love’s not a chore you put off until tomorrow
I say love isn’t something you should beg for or borrow

Chasing the Day

The higher you climb
There’s just further to fall
The more that you search clearer meaning
All the meaning means nothing at all
Though you feel so invincible
You’re still wasting away
Though you feel like you’re a free man

Carousel

When I tried to sell my sorrow
I could tell she didn’t know what price she should pay
She tried to part exchange what
I never want to give away
And now I can call this what I want
So I’ll never be tied down

Holes in Clothes

She’s half Irish traveller
Spliced with anger from the Gorbals
The neighbours don’t mind my mad dog growling
But her bite’s much worse than the verbals

And I won’t let them put her down

Where do we look?

This fell out of my head

The world isn’t ending

All this time we’re spending pushing pushing I’m commended

Run for cover, kill your lover

Never have another reason to get up, get up
