This is a thread for everyone on here with something to express either in writings poetry dreams or wishes. It doesnt matter what its about , hopefully no one will give anything but constructive critisism....All it has to do is come from the soul....And dont worry.
This is a poem I wrote when I lived with my ex husband in a stately home in Norfolk ...and he lived with his mistress way way up on the top floor..while I roamed alone through the rest of the house miserably unhappy but expected to always be reasonable. because that is the way of the aristocracy and had been for centuries But this was a life for someone without a heart a soul and a spirit........There you are that wasnt too bad.!
The Iron Gates.
Come with me behind the gates
Those gates of iron grand
Into the lives of those inside
With minds of shifting sand.
I bet you wish this was your lot
So priviledged with plenty
To dine insplendour every night
With hearts so cold and empty.
To roam like spectres round the halls
To gaze on paintings fine
to drape yorself in precious jewels
Passed to you down the line.
Barons won and Earls took back
And feuds were fought over land
The Armour they wore
That kept thier hearts cold
The Knights of the Shifting Sand.
And so it comes down to us wretched few
To carry the Ancestral Curses
In hearts that are cold
Bought for pieces of gold
From coffers and soft velvet purses.

an ode 2 my ex wife
no one sees the things you do
because i stand in front of you
but you drive me all the time
put the evil in my mind
i used to sing and say my prayers
lived my life without a care
now i have become a fool
because i listened to the mule

My eldest son when 13 was asked at school to write something about someone who was influencial in his life. He wrote this about my father;
Grandad was a special person to us. He was very ill but always thought on the bright side of life and was a good friendly person. Although he's not with us anymore we'll try to be happy now that he has passed away because we know he doesn't want us to be sad.
Us children have never seen him walk, at least he has been able to talk, but if we had seen him walk then we are sure he would be a normal, active, jolly type person.
And now that he has gone, i speak for all of us her, "Goodbye, God Bess, we'll always love you year upon year"
Coincidentaly this was done 2 days before my Father died, i have only changed it to past tense.
He stood up at the funeral and read it out. I was, and still am, a proud father!

All I see is black,
A wall of nothing,
No pictures or colours that speak of my life.
All I hear is silence,
Bringing me numbness.
No laughing child or wife's affection,
All i've touched is gone,
Forever gone..................
This is from a very bad time in my life, all I can say is glad I don't feel like that anymore and everything is opposite......

this thread came on a perfect night.
I was married for 23 years to a drunk who cared not , we've been apart for two years and i have no one which is better than having him , i suppose .
Just on nights like this when i come home to my empty house I feel like I've become the invisible woman and if i were to not be here tomarrow noone would notice other than my family. My lonliness is so deep it takes my breath away.
Sorry have had a bad day and am feeling a bit sorry for myself.

To my daughters (even though the will never see this)
being a mum is hard, and can be cruel
there are no guidance books or rules,
whenever it seems i try my best
i always end up making a mess,
I look to others for some kind of assistance
but at every corner i'm met with resistance
i feel so alone and trapped inside
this the one job i cannot run from or hide,
I've become a person whom i no longer know
and for my life have nothing left to show
my girls have gone cos they think i dont care
all i wanted to do with my love was share,
I hope in time that they understand
that life out there aint that grand
the only person on who they can depend
is me their mum until the end

it's amaizing what you can put into words if it comes from the heart and holds true to you
wether flying on high or feeling blue
only you yourself can find that light
and when you do
still burning bright
no longer will you feel blue

Sleep, but not to dream,
To lay in the dark corner,of a troubled mind.
So cold,its always cold,
Down here, in the dark.
Why the pictures,those flashing images,
In the dark, i can still see clearly,
I wish my mind, was blind to such scenes.
Each night the same, never a change,
Lifes blood pours on, life slips away.
I only want to stop the screaming,
From both mother and child a cry,
But i can do nothing to stop it,
I can do nothing to stem the flow,
Helpless, all i can do is watch.
I watched, he died.
For Lee Wright, rest in peace.
