Brian 'Peza' Perrins

Confused in mind, bereft of soul
Through poppy fields I wonder, alone I stroll
Where’s the world that I used to know
...

I wake and rise to the morning dew
And it’s not unusual that I think of you

Another wondrous morning on God’s great land
...

It’s been with me since the day you died
I sat and pondered whilst others cried.

The memories of you linger on without end
...

Grieve outwardly or not, make a choice
Submerse yourself or show through voice.

To hide your sorrow deep down inside
...

Stuck in the present, no future or past
Is this the beginning of the end at last?

Daren’t look back to the trouble and plight
...

From unconscious state, eyes open wide
To find an angel by my side

A smile that seems to ease the tension
...

When I’m down and out and feeling blue
I close my eyes and then think of you

With your smiling face and sparkling eyes
...

Your eyes that sparkle, shine and sing
They mask the hardship life does bring.

Your yearning for comfort, food and love
...

Hi Mom, hope you have a wonderful Mothers Day
It’s a special time for you and I’ve something to say.
...

The taste of victory is so sweet
Having the world at you’re feet
...

The rising stench of toxic mire
Emanates from a dark forbidding place
Beneath the claustrophobic ceiling
The putrescent bodies in harmony sing
...

There are times in life when you feel down and out
The world against you, of that there’s no doubt.
There’s no one around and no one to care
...

As the day draws on and the night becomes near
It only serves for a rise in my fear.

You see I’m never comfortable in my bed at night
...

The young boy he wakes and gets onto his feet
Its cold in this old shed, but his need is to eat.

Out into the grey as the day is just dawning
...

It’s endless, yet in short supply
Without this, life is do or die.

To possess this is indeed a real gift
...

As I look back to my youth all those years ago
My memories quite clear, my thoughts they do flow.

My school days were happy, I started age five
...

I sit outside in the morning air
My mind at rest, without a care.

My life I guess almost complete
...

When we got married I wasn’t sure
That I wanted this for the rest of my life.

You pushed me into a situation
...

...

Hear my plea


Whilst I’m here amongst the madding years
...
