nicola burkett Poems

I feel like I’ve been caught in the tide
And washed away into the salted sea
I wish I could land in a better place
Where I could live and be free
...

Pleasant and elegant full of charm wit and grace
Adorned with the finest of silks and ivory Hointon lace
Lavender decorates her autumn red hair
Her beauty is paramount as people stop and stare
...

I lost myself long ago; I don't think I can come back
The effort and energy of self will is what I seem to lack
I have no hope about my future, any dreams of whats to come
I just sit and put pen to paper and write till I’m comfortably numb
...

I'm a mental headcase feeling down
Why can't i stop, I feel like a clown
I'm stupid and better i should know
Don't come running, saying i told you so
...

The life of Norma Jeane was a tragic one
Full of sadness, pain and sexual fun
She was a blonde bombshell, a sex toy
The first to grace the cover of Heffner’s playboy
...

The country I come from the place I call home
Traditions past down since the dawn of time
Fading deep into the black jaws of history
The pride we hold dear, close to our hearts
...

One early morn inside the silent wood
Beneath the ghostly trees where I stood
A wise brown owl perched upon a tree
Clouded in darkness and misery
...

Forgotten the words to our song
I've been away too long
A large part of me lingers in darkness
Scattered like a jigsaw in my mind
...

Lazy a label i do not deserve
As i struggle to live with this demonic curse
Demons crawling
Inside my weary head
...

Covered in leaves
and left for dead
beneath the bridge
Where he made her bed
...
