Brian 'Peza' Perrins Poems

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
...
