All You Want To Be

PoeticScoundrel — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 20:47:03 +0000

It’s hard to start, but easy to conceive,
ideas come with every turn, but which one to believe?
Even when you find it, which way do you go,
perhaps there’s nothing you can do, you just have to let it flow.
Long and hard this road, to take you to the top,
can’t stop, must push against the lot and give it all you’ve got.
Dream big and even bigger, to a size you can’t even see,
chase it don’t ever stop, be all you want to be.

It’s Been A Difficult Week

PoeticScoundrel — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 20:41:21 +0000

It’s been a difficult week,
not least I’ve had no sleep,
and my body is feeling weak,
plus my mind is starting to creek.
Hot flushes, a headache or two,
why so difficult to control your mind when it’s you,
What to do? To stop these feelings passing through.
Sometimes it’s easier to manage your mind,
but so many times it can be difficult to unwind.
Can’t stop the grind,
if there’s an answer, where to find?

Pressure Reduction

PoeticScoundrel — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 20:34:16 +0000

Why do you feel this pressure?
It doesn’t help you in any way.
All it does is drain your resources,
physically and emotionally every day.
You must learn to switch off,
be comfortable with who you are.
Do it and keep on doing it,
and you’re sure to go far.
Work when you need to work,
play when you need to play.
But be sure to switch off your mind,
to refresh yourself in every way.

Time

Time will pass, alas so fast,
so make sure to make the moments last.
Remember, but never regret the past,
and don’t let it control what comes to pass.
For what the future holds is bright and bold,
for those who let their passions unfold.
So use your time before your old,
As living your dreams is life’s true gold.

Youtube

Youtube is an amazing place, but it can be like a zoo.
Sh$t videos with a million hits, and great ones with only two.
Plus what is this obsession, with people talking s$it,
set-up and turn on your camera and shout straight into it.
Bitching about Kanye, Lindsay and anything in the news,
why do we care so much these blogger views.

The Internet Connection

PoeticScoundrel — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:29:05 +0000

The Internets not working, the connection keeps dropping out.
There isn’t really much I can do, it’s just starting to make me shout!

Laptop

My Dell Laptop is slow, it’s very slow.
With daily grind I’ve become it’s hoe.
It comes with me wherever I go,
and the battery always seems to be low.
A useful tool or emotional curse?
So often it’s errors bring out the worst.
We’ll see if it helps out today,
or sparks frustration in every way.

Lost Spark

PoeticScoundrel — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 19:02:23 +0000

It tears you down; it pulls your teeth,
but never, never allow it to defeat,
your reason and wonder should ward of the heat,
this raging feeling you must work hard to beat.

It will strip you down, make you feel weak,
It will try to distract you from what you seek,
and sometimes make you feel a freak,
yet never, never let your nerve creak.

For you have time to make your mark,
if you find inside your beating heart,
the distant light that will take you through the dark,
so you can shine and find again your spark.

Dream

PoeticScoundrel — Fri, 08 May 2009 20:18:08 +0000

Tell me your dream I’ll listen, I’ll hang on every word.
no matter how absurd.
For a dream can become reality,
but first it must be heard.

I Can

PoeticScoundrel — Fri, 08 May 2009 20:17:14 +0000

I “can” write another time,
I “will” write another rhyme.
I “can”, I “must”, it will be divine,
just watch I’ll do it one more time…
