Stephen Holland Poems

Nobody notices nobody cares
Look at the state of the clothes that he wears
His only home is the bench in the park
His one friend the bottle comforts him in the dark
...

Our Christmas

Christmas came early for you and for me
Christmas with no gifts to open
...

Child one time, and time relates
This child witness love and hate
Innocence at once besieged
Violated evil released
...

Judgement Day

It was a cold and dark December night
I received a call, they said I might
...

Golden Years

What ever happened to the sixties child?
When days were warm and nights were wild
...

On the Threshold of a Dream

Once he was rejected so many years ago
Once he was tormented, how could she ever know?
...

Honesty

…and now I fear I said too much
The damage done, the email sent
...

Cry

A child alive in your womb today
A child from love, and wanted that way will be you
...

Depression is a parasite
Which eats away your consciousness
Your knowledge can be erudite
Yet the despair pit is bottomless
...

Angel Falls

You made your choice you deemed was right
Improve your life and ease your plight
...

Being Together Forever

..and since you went away
There’s an aching in my heart
...

There was a time….

There was a time when nothing rhymed
Unspoken words inside my mind
...

Ruby

You are a princess in my heart,
I care for you so much.
...

Fish and chips
Curry sauce
Five large tea cakes
Buttered of course
...

15.

Cheese

You lost me in Tesco’s
You know where I’ll be
...

Poetry has to rhyme for me
Or else its Prose
And full of words
I can’t claim I’m a devotee
...

She was a coal miner’s daughter

She was a coal miner’s daughter
He was a police sergeant’s son
...

The Dark Lord

Only where the summer fails
With wilderness around
...

The Girl Who Dumped Me at School

So into my life walks this girl with no name
And changes my whole way of thinking today
...

This hangover has taken its prey
When I open my eyes to the day
There's a man playing drums in my brain
My breath's like a sewer pipe drain
...

The Best Poem Of Stephen Holland

Nobody's Friend

Nobody notices nobody cares
Look at the state of the clothes that he wears
His only home is the bench in the park
His one friend the bottle comforts him in the dark
The police show no interest as they move him along
Where in the past did your life turn so wrong?
Look at the state of the clothes that he wears
Nobody notices, nobody cares

Maybe sometimes, a change in fortune
Might bring him food and shelter in a hostelry room
But these days though welcome are all too rare
For most of the time there just is nobody there
A newspaper blanket on a pillow of stone
Is all that he ever has all that he owns
Ask yourself then just how it is
A man who is someone could be subject to this

Where he comes from nobody can tell
And where he goes to, well he just might a well
Be dead, for no-one would miss him at all
Now his life is fading, he tries to recall
His wife his friends his children
The family next door
All killed in an instance from a bomb in the war
And now his own life has come to an end
He'll die without memorial he's nobody's friend
