Poems By ken makepeace

Is there a day? Is there a tomorrow? Or is there just a world with sorrow - just tears to cry and no one to say goodbye to. Are we just living in a world that doesn't share or doesn't even want to care? But me, I'll just carry on in silence, hoping there'll be … Continue reading Is There A Day

Remember me when I'm no longer around. Rember me when the light begins to fade. My spirit will live on in hearts and souls, and I will never be forgotten by those who I knew. These words I tell you are all too true. So remember what I am saying, and do not forget the … Continue reading No Longer Around

What do you say? What do you do? Take no notice and that is true. Pretend I don't exist, or look for the nearest exit. Escape if you must, otherwise turn to dust. Or run and hide where you can never be found. Whichever you decide, you must remember this - I'm glad that you'll … Continue reading What Do You Say

Was it so far across the sea? All I can say was that it hadn't seemed like miles to me. But without my binoculars, my vision was blurred but noises I had heard - like a foghorn in the night, led me to have a fright. But what could I do? Vanish without a trace? … Continue reading Far Across the Sea

The nights are becoming short and Holloween is fast approaching.

They are not listening, but do I care? If they don't want to know, let them dare or stare into the night with all their might. But not let them come near, not for a second Make them stay away - and leave me alone forever and a day. All I want is to be … Continue reading Not Listening

Was it time to stop and stare? was it time to see if anyone was there? But not a sound I heard. There were no whispers from the trees, no people begging on their knees. No one even wants to say please in this land of stillness - this land of calm - one place … Continue reading Was It Time To Stop

Feeling so lonely, if only. People buzzing around - too much sound. Just want to be on my own - no cares to get me down. No worries to make me hurry or rush here and there. Why don't they let me live my life without a care? But one day I'll just vanish into … Continue reading So Lonely

Will there be a tomorrow? Will it be full of pain or sorrow? We will have to wait and see. But could it be like today: no hope and just despair with no chance of living without care? Full of failure and doubt and no way of finding a way out. But maybe there will … Continue reading Will There Be A Tomorrow
