Kevin Browne

Kevin Browne was brought up in the small village of Street, Somerset, England, Great Britain. His passion for writing was noticable at a very early age. He remembers writing his first poem at the tender age 8. He recalls he can’t remember the poem, but was influenced by a subject during an English class and although listening to the teacher he wrote a poem called ‘Ants’. His working life always managed to get in the way of writing until he retired from work due to ill conditions which set free the time for him to begin his journey of a writer’s dream. He took up writing seriously just three years ago and now and has self-published his first book ‘Just A Poet Just A Poem’ and now here he is again in fine form of keeping his pauper layman dreams alive with his stunning new book ‘The Intentions Of Love. He would just like to thank his parents for the support they have given him.

Mermaid’s Lap

When we were right, and then things took a turn on the ground.

Finding things different, whether anyone thought it was wrong.

Inside and out of the decision that got caught up in wishing well.

Farewell to the past that feeds the endless wrenching of a soul.

Caterpillar waits in cocoon for protection, built with wings attached,

Trusting God’s strength to follow and show us all the light to love

And in arms that shouldered the way through this enlightened life.

There are the passions filled up with every ounce of availability.

Legendary wizardry won over the myth of surviving under water.

A gift of talent produces new ways of reverting to the old.

Fabrics on sale for whomever has the remedies to bake up a storm.

When in failing with the opposite, that fatal attraction takes it.

Relentless winds blowing in the wrong direction fluttered up a nest.

Seeing honesty became habit for the intended thought of robbery.

With sails leading waves in the ocean ahead of a pirate’s drunkenness—

That there sat a parrot on his lap, and so a squawk was invented

Containing fearful mysteries. Don’t ever look back; just run.

Sitting on benches left alone the death of any useless alcoholic.

A jester stalks the mediaeval dreams of pulling up the drawbridge,

And as fires burn the light into arrays of such beautiful colours,

We sit, we think, we talk, we walk, we share, we grow with despair.

Those unreal thoughts captured in a life that was wasted upon it,

Sharing the guilt of what was caught alive and repaired by the dead.

2

Some Etiquette

And in taking up the fashion of showing off some etiquette,

And with politeness taking on the understanding of its rights,

The insistence of resulting in confidence stood proud.

Amateurs learning on which side life is really ever allowed,

Feared by the winds of whirlpools, which end up taking over.

Complaining about oneself has never been understood, either.

Block the past when future residents begin to live again.

Playing in a picture with images that remind us of da Vinci.

Heartbeats have touching efforts when it comes down to losing them.

Shops filled with market squares rolling in the bread that burnt.

Rendered unconscious by visualising us at the beginning of time.

Born baby immediately sat upon the warmth of its mother’s breast.

It comes along disarrayed in not believing in anything that could,

When how much is left, is left feeling all broke out and sorely torn.

Then simplicity in knowledge teaches us things that only we know.

Lions tempered the friction to be predators with dominating fears.

Dynamic dolphins dance all day long and then occasionally have a cheer.

Handkerchiefs with dirty money wiped away the drug cartel’s offerings.

A backbone snapped when the weight of a feather climbed aboard.

Fishing boats thrive on replenishing the relentless dead fishes.

A pond floating on some memories sold out on icy resignations.

Angels on our shoulders whisper why heaven is so heavenly.

Brothers and sisters who rallied the world into another existence

Whom we thank, meaning what is given to all the innocent dreamers,

Sharing dimensions built for kings and queens when seated upon a throne.

Some may say time is unreal, but it’s never far from the hands that tell it,

Beating down on the idea that life will never be the same as it was before.

3

Convicted Judgements

The touch of integrity tells us not to pass those convicted judgements.

Pitter-patter spoke about the chat that goes on behind the door

With a fellow in a friend who stares the reason in the eye with lies.

Hopeful hints of desires to inflict upon one another’s philosophies

Ripped apart deep effects of never knowing what is right or wrong.

Influences sat down beside the idea trying to shout its mouth off.

A convincing summary of those who never really got to see anything.

Candles in glass jars flickering away the unseen reasons of why.

Untelling theories and breathing fire on someone else’s disability.

Watch opinions fade slowly day by day, just to see what happens.

Dancing down on tempers inflicted with what was an ordinary day,

And never realising clamping down on someone’s soul is an effort.

For a belief is the belief we live in by juggling others’ compliments.

Fixations with illusions flooding the creative side to the love of life

In concentrating on some etiquette that filled a plate with honesty.

Strange to know what people think when you think it can’t be real.

And in hating too much with time shredding all the evidence,

There appears to be the appeal for freedom in what is allowed.

For the full moon tampers with the venomous bites that can kill,

Adapting to surroundings, feeling insecure about what is going on.

And whilst you hold your head up high, the rest of us try to.

Change sometimes makes the difference in life when it’s deflated.

Stars shine down and teach the world a way to brighten up a little.

And filling in for forgiveness has never hurt the proudness we all own.

The Initial Note

The initial note of giving up on arrival when a sad goodbye was said,

Sleeping on a pillow full of feathers which grew some hope instead.

Standing on a Pardon me stood right in the way of getting through.

Sceptics falling in doubtful revolutions turned up for what was new.

Inspirations amongst the people who struggle with old adversities,

Sleeping in a puddle full of emotions when dreaming of necessities.

Bears gripping trees with strength only fitting for eating after.

Calling, All aboard, when waves struck down with some disasters.

Where the world is worn out, freedom is imprisoned by lock and key.

Passing rocks fill all the raging rivers with a great mystery.

With the executions of some children who were told not to cry,

Shouting out on faith damaging, trembling questions of why we die.

Steam engine tracks railed upon time held for the service in this life.

If the Great Wall of China snaked the adventure for quite a bad price,

Then touching someone’s skin on the brink of letting them know,

Dangerous delusions seemingly growing up with some gold on show,

Balanced out a little to withstand the power of nature’s forces.

Jumping over hurdles, betting on never winning without any horses.

A fish flies out of water as birds swim back in total astonishment.

Weaving out a maze caused a loss of life for learning all the torment.

Sideshows with curtains revealing the things that have been banished.

Creepy shadows show the sun shining down on that which is finished.

There Buddha sleeps, where the temple of his own heartbeats lives.

Left alone on just sand to lead the way for there is nothing left to give.

Balance out the fortunes when there are too few left to discover.

For it’s underneath the breath that we find another thought to uncover.

Water dripping with each drip, one drop a little lesser than the one before.

Windows smashing, staircase creeping, ghosts knocking on the door.

Another relief without the worry and without the distress of tomorrow.

Mothers hunted, fathers taunted, and babies full of hurt and sorrow.

And times like these, when butterfly ups and leaves us crying.

More to do in a summer haze that left all our dreams out dying.

Wrote down on papers, imagined a story in time for plenty more.

Walking waters floating by with oceans washing up on Mother’s shore.

When some vocals voiced opinions, it left a mouth feeling loud.

Philosophical tempers scream out to be somewhere with a crowd,

Shaking deals with the hand of a million thoughts raised daily.

Those mindful opinions chased up by whoever it is who can see me,

Bellowing blasts of ammunition into the clouds of the transparent,

Causing difficulties in a heart emptied of blood life’s apparent.

Worn-out old shoes in this old town and paving slabs hide beneath.

Sadness made the point that when a smile is smiled, you should show your teeth.

Wrinkles have torn apart with ageing deficiencies falling down on crushing.

Pockets uselessly fall out with the money which turned out to be nothing.

Congregations of human rights fill the room with the intent to blow.

High-power corners speaking out that remembered to always say no.

Ship captains whistling like the foghorn which somehow reached across.

Shere Khan showed comforting human life when baby Mowgli got lost.

A coconut bouncing off your head and making sure new ideas are said.

Shot with the intentions of wrecking a family and leaving them all for dead.

You see a picture on the wall filled with the memory of a loving child.

At the end of it, there was naughty, stupid, dumb, helpless, and some wild.

Influence matters for the honour of giving up a wife who killed herself,

Leaving bookstores, reading poets, putting Rudyard Kipling on the shelf.

For words are the ambition of us poets to fill the world with brand new.

Writing down imaginations forever because don’t you think I love you too?

5

Sad Faces

Since starting on occasions for filling the staircase up with footsteps,

Wandering wildebeest have strayed with the following of many tigers and a lonely lion.

Sad faces smile eventually when a thirst of drinking up something which is due on time arises.

Smothered with dying flowers when a daffodil grew into the soul of another man.

Stranger’s silly senses seem to be topped to the brim with more stupid ideas.

Inflated hilltops burst with the scenery from a million and a half years ago.

Happy teachers taught the difference between the style of which poetry it’s to be written in.

Sleeping on the fantasy of living like a billionaire with the atrocities of waking up

With a touching of a moment that will last forever but will end when you see the light.

For fading into the ecstasy of bringing another baby into life takes on the role of happiness.

Loving mother at the bedside, holding hands together, for she will see her son through to the end.

Too shy to humanise the communities with the good things in life which cost nothing.

Reliance of living off the ground when a penny dropped out and rolled down the drain.

Swirling rivers gather up the breadth and width of what is actually lined up to perform

And waiting for all your invincible dreams to take control over a life that’s not worth living.

Stating matrimony is in harmony with the thought of life, giving in to the efforts we make.

Such a shame beauty is so dull in filling the vase with another stunning remedy.

So remember the acts which take place in a world full of killing life,

And with letters blocking the hallway full of invitations to win a potential fortune,

Then seeing there is the ability in someone who cares for never letting anyone else in.

Shameless consultations float around all over the places where wishing is only allowed.

If we cross the arms of faith, then it only seems to ruin the wisdom of what is believed in,

Sitting down on a church pew with onlookers who hear the sins being called out.

Masters of silence are the key to understanding how the Buddha can flex his thoughts.

And we study in turn to learn the inflictions which cause the issues interfering with us.

So we take the step backward in order to somehow find the way forward.

Loving is a thing in life which needs the comfort of aspiring to the greatest rewards there are.

Harder work with the pen seems always to know what not to say to the wrong person

Live it and breathe it in a way which stays and remembers where the importance of it is.

Take care, sweethearts, and fill the empty walls up with photos capturing it all.

I Begin to Wonder Why.

And as another one falls from the sky, I begin to wonder why.

Clouds of inability left this man
