Gary McPhail Poems

Hang me from my sins,
Drown me in my guilt,
Swimming in a pool of blood,
From this pain I have built.
...

A moment until I gather my thoughts,
I need to remember my past,
Moving from house to house in so little time,
Becoming a confused child from the last laugh.
...

There was me,
my brothers; a total of three,
A step-dad who was my mothers husband to be,
Each one loving each other
...

The step-dad I have
never gets angry or mad,
the step-dad I have,
always asks how I am.
...

Think there your friends!
HA!
There not!
There your secret enemies with secret plots!
...

Pushed and pulled ‘til torn apart
Unprepared for a broken heart
Never feel the pain that’s hidden
To share my emotions is forbidden.
...

I live life because life lives me,
I try to see the real meaning
Of the lives that we lead,
Each time I search,
...

look into my eyes without your brain tryin to realise, i hate to see you analyse,
I fantasize and channel ride, you coincide and battle minds,
I dread the times, seeing the mimes tryin to calm with the sound of chimes,
...

My coat is furry,
I am lazy,
I will wake up,
when I’m hungry.
...

The creature hides in the night,
It stays away from the light,
There’s a fear full when the creature comes into sight,
Eyes so white they are glazed with might.
...
