Greek Salad
The taste of Greece on my lips again
Makes my mind yearn for that feeling of moving on.
If 'twas anything but human I were,
There'd be no thought,I'd be gone
In fact,within a year it'll happen,
Bags will be packed and I'll be on my way.
Yet whichever country,city,town or field I end up in
Shall be another within I'll not be able to stay.
I know from the places I've been to
That peace on this Earth I shall not find.
I'll still search the mountains,deserts and islands but
I know the peace that I seek is in my mind.
Rainbow Chaser
Purple car 41 years old
Open topped,low to the ground
Judders a little in first but has to be put up with
'Till another clutch can be found.
No head stays unturned
All mouths are open wide
Shouts of "WOW,WHAT A CAR!"
No question,it must be driven with pride.

SUNSET CHASER
Thirty three years of plodding this Earth
I'm now willing to start aiming for things
Pumping iron to build up chest muscles
Eating all kinds of foul to grow wings
It'll take time,determination and perseverance
To attain the skill and the power
Alot of luck and perhaps divine intervention
For me to fly at one thousand miles per hour
Once a day,EVERY day you will see me
Flying high with the clouds as though one
It may seem to you that I am moving
But I'm staying stationary in respect to the Sun
For me it will allways be evening
To me that's the best time of day
For you it is only a glimpse of the beauty
Before the turning Earth takes it away
I'll catch swift,tern and the great albatross
To fuel me and replenish feathers of white
Never landing for that would ruin everything
For my dream I need continuous flight
Keep your bad thoughts,good thoughts and indifferences
Me,myself and I have no regrets
I've no use for football,religion nor politics
I'm quite content to be chasing sunsets
by Sunset Chaser
A Haiku About Overheard Conversations
Chatter from all sides
Mixing together as one
Means nothing to me
When Am I Not Me?
When my diabetes finally takes my sight
Will my mind still allow me to see
The reds,greens and blues
That are now so natural to me?
Will I have phantom legs
That I feel even though not there.
After being lopped off
'Cos I've not chosen to care?
I still want to fuck
'Till you and I are sore
But I hate relying on aids,fingers and tongue
'Cos I can't get erect anymore.
My stomach.I'm resigned to the fact
The nerves are shot,gone never to return
And if I eat bacon or do a bottle of vody
I pay the consequences.It's gonna race through and burn
Am I still Karl even though losing these things?
At what point do I cease and become a person new?
And is there a possibility
That one day I may even become you?

DOGGEREL?
Doggerel?My poems may well be
But I write from my heart not my head.
I enjoy my rhyme and my rhythm
and from my path I won't stray.
Droplet of Green
Like an emerald droplet you hang
You catch,break and disperse the light
Into a myriad of shades
Before you return it to it's flight
You take a perfect droplet shape
For no other reason than nature's nature
You extricate me from what may kill me
Allowing me to continue my future
You heal me but you don't appeal to me
It's rare I see you for the beauty you are
Because you contain a virus and mucus
While hanging from the face that you mar
MY DEAR
You have a coolness that can ease the heat inside me
Your golden hew captures my eye
Your sweet taste intoxicates me
Your essence engulfs me to the point where I can fly
With you my emotions become accessible
Sometimes for the good,other times for the worse
I'll never leave you for any other
Though loving you is always a curse
Oh my dear
Beer
I Love You

Cancer
It eats away,disfiguring and mutilating all in it's path
This for the lucky ones as destruction is it's norm
No cure has yet been found to yeild it's wrath
I'm calling it cancer but the human race is it's form.
Read Your Highway Code?
Double yellow lines!Didn't you see them?
Or are you just a lazy Get?
For some reason the latter seems the truth to me
And on that I'm willing to bet.
No concern for others,especially pedestrians.
We're a nuisance,our excursions should be prevented
But I'm sorry to shatter your illusions
We were here before cars were invented.
"I'm only going to be here five minutes,
Just need to pop into that shop then I'll go."
There's a queue,a problem or you meet someone
And you end up being twenty minutes or so.
Because you've parked there others now think
"Well if they can then why can't I?"
"Only five minutes,that shouldn't be a problem
Five minutes is by the by."
So now we have a street full of parked cars
Both sides full,two lanes now turned into one.
It's now you all get your just desserts
Full scale gridlock has now begun.
Now your journey has taken four hours
Whereas I could have done it much quicker
By walking it my body has benefitted
But for you?Your heart walls are much thicker.
I've been thinking about direct action,
I'll easilly beat you at this game.
You're parked on double yellows and half on the pavement
If your paint gets scratched am I to blame?
Karl Graham
Don't Worry (It's all in my head)
As the anger has built
Over these years
In head and in heart
Building to the greatest of my fears
The hour is getting closer
To detonation of this time bomb
You'll not recognise me
All compassion will be gone
Red mist will blur vision
I'll smack,crack and break skulls
Any weapon to hand,in hand
With the rage of a thousand bulls
As I'm breaking your head
You'll feel my pain and my pride
My final release from the police
That incarcerated me inside
This explosion will happen
For your safety I hope I'm dead
Accept my apologies now as I'll have no care
THIS IS what's going on in my head
Tug O' War
Why must I be the ribbon in this game of tug o' war
That neither side will ever win
Two teams,one called Depression
The other,many facets within
And this team can't even get a name together
Each part wants to be better than the whole
Every time they gain ground they squabble
And lose what they have to Depression...................... seems like my life's goal
