nicola burkett Poems

Back in black I hit you hard
With my classic rock chick style
I shake my hips to zeppelin hits
And watch you as you smile
...

Standing on the bridge to nowhere
That straddles the river of pain
Visibility reduced to nothing
While you’re crying in the rain
...

She lives alone in a house on a hill.

Sitting in her favourite chair
alone by the window she'd sit and stare
...

Your not allowed to question
The mighty heads above
They are right
You are wrong
...

I woke up one dreary morning
Dark clouds lay over head
A feeling of loss and fear
Before I get out of my bed
...

Bye bye Mommy it's been a world of strife
More ups and downs in this hard life
Bye bye Daddy thanks for all you've done
But I must go, when he puts away the sun
...

I've been travelling down this road for years,
Along the way so many smiles, so many tears.
Don't know where it goes or where it ends,
Along the way I’ve left behind family and friends.
...

Between sleep and awake
I know that’s where you’ll be
Bathed in warmth and light
Patiently waiting for me
...

To an alcoholic the drink can heal
The pain and numbness that they feel
From the moment that they first swallow
Until the bottle winds up hollow
...

My life is the muse
My pen is my tool
My words are my medium
My poems are my creation
...
