He was a diplomatic diplodocus
Long necked hocus pocus
Ranging around like an evil wizard
On his high horse like a terrible lizard
Willing to wager the country's treasure
All for some new shoes made of Spanish leather
Left the foreign office in a state
Ordered his love like a takeaway plate
Shining his star, but shone it too late
Oh that worrisome bore
Of diplomacy's fate
I like to write poetry and perform it at poetry nights. I've been writing some form of it since school years.
He said I've got a beef with you
I don't wanna beefburger,
Don't wanna commit murder
It's just this thing that you do
You've been out on the tiles
For miles and miles
And now you're drunk as a screw
I have a beef with you
You come here in your state
And throw up on your plate
You shake and shiver and vomit
Can't you try a washer or gromit
Put a cork in it won't you
Yes I have a beef with you

Temporary
You're one in a million
Hard to catch
Just like a cloud
You evaporate
Like a ghost
I could walk along your coast
All day
But you're so temporary
Temporary
We all have to grow
Change from the first things we were
I can't tell
If this is heaven or hell
Or if I'm in purgatory
As you're so temporary
I like to write poetry and perform it at poetry nights. I've been writing some form of it since school years.
The river floods with our blood
Like wine
All indigo in hue
And you, I miss you
In the river of indigo
The swollen towers of pride
Have fallen down beside
Its banks
And all the children have cried
All the mothers given thanks
I have no other lover
I want to make you mine
But I don't want to steal you from another
I have only our precious time
There is nothing left beside to say
Except the river between us flows on
into the Indigo bay
I like to write poetry and perform it at poetry nights. I've been writing some form of it since school years.
It's 3 o'clock in the morning
And I'm making my way to you
Walking along the pavement
Like the bones in a skeleton crew
Fighting to stand alone
Stand on one leg or maybe two
But the grave is calling me home
And I don't want to go without you
Looking forward to the sunrise
Holding my heart in my hands, it is true
Guessing that you'd see in my eyes
That I truly love you
Hoping to God I can see you again
Maybe just as a friend, who knew
The depths of longing and pain
I've gone to over my love of you
I like to write poetry and perform it at poetry nights. I've been writing some form of it since school years.
I worked at an undertakers once
It was a nice little Urn-er
A tree surgeon - a Tree who like to cut
off people's limbs
I put the vet in the car, he was getting old
And I brought to the Cat's
The cat was very nice about it as I sat the vet
on the table and the cat patted his head
And stroking his ears
The vet seemed to like it and calmed down
And then the Cat administered the deadly serum

There's a land I want to visit
And it's sinking very fast
It's an island way out to sea
There's a place I'd like to be in
And it's a blinking on a mast
And it's a rocking on the rolling sea
So come and see me on my island in the ocean
Come and visit or forever set me free
For I have no more use of the mainland
Oh that pained land where love just conquers me
I am leaving, I am leaving
On the next ship from the harbour
I have nothing left to tie me here
There's a place where I'll be safe from
All that love's lost and laboured
And I'll not return til I have forgotten her
So come and see me on my island in the ocean
Come and visit or forever set me free
For I have no more use of the mainland
Oh that pained land where love just conquers me
