nicola burkett Poems

A hero thinks of others before they think of themselves
A hero will die to protect
A hero can be of any age, any colour
A hero can be man, woman or child
...

We know what we want, when we want
And we're not afraid to ask
When we find, we we're right all along
We relish and in the moment we bask
...

When i was a child, i thought they could do no wrong
When i was a child, everyone seemed to get along
When i was a child we were always together
When i was a child, i thought it would last forever
...

Running towards her pumpkin
At the stroke of midnight
Her lost slipper upon the stair
In the silver majestic moonlight
...

Over England’s dales
Deep past the ever green
Inside the forest
Lives the Fairy Queen
...

A suicide note
I carved on my chair
With a rusty old key
Wrapped in devils hair
...

He was a punk rocker, she a groupie tart
They couldn't live without, they couldn't live apart
Sometimes the love consumes the fuel too fast
And when it does you know it'll never last
...

I hate myself for hurting you
The pain and heartache i put you through
I killed the love that we once had
I took everything good and turned it bad
...

The bright lights of Las Vegas
Casinos open around the clock
Wedding bells, Grand hotels
A place where the fornicators flock
...

A period of extreme poverty of the lower working classes
As they worked to the death the rich sat politely on their arses
London’s poor tried to scrape a living doing jobs the devil created
As the rich sat at their windows laughing at the pitiful souls they hated
