BernardoSoares - Hello Poetry

From 150000 coming in at Heathrow every week The Tube From me and you There aren't millions dead but a few In line with what already knew Government lies Media lies We know but we don't care We walk blindly into darkness Even when we know it's there.

Lies

From 150000 coming in at Heathrow every week The Tube From me and you There aren't millions dead but a few In line with what already knew Government lies Media lies We know but we don't care We walk blindly into darkness Even when we know it's there.

Do you have more past than future? Count the cost using receipts for the friends you tried to buy In like a lion…..out like an empty sail on a ship in a bottle just above the surface of the blue glass sea A loan now to buy the moonlight is all I need but don't shine on me, or me, don't shine on me Doctor the report. Makes yes' no's and no's yes' and let's pretend in the end it's AOK Time was on your side but that was yesterday I’m thirsty and tired and wired and worn. Shake me The dust drops I'm unemployable Unmistakable Unthinkable Undeniable Untenable And often incredible But impossibly unlovable I don’t have the patience to wait for this world to turn I want off Gonna watch what happens for a while from a mile high Sick of doubt and misplaced anger leading me alone through danger Watching weighing possibilities to where could I fit in with ease? Nowhere seems as good as any, a room for me to sing to many Or somewhere new where I could go, a place for me to lay low Either way those faces fit and that’s why I must escape it. Practising lines from time to time behind a midnight moon And waking up on ****** sheets inside a darkened room. Shelves hold books I've never read Wade through air and bite to breathe The legs I see, not sure they belong to me Hands wave. Things don't fill They empty They're put in hands that wave Carried by legs that aren't mine Just because

What's the point of living if not to have lived in others what you’ve learned Be bad Be good But tell us lest we know. Reactionary Under R in the dictionary The words are there Braille Feeling it Not hearing it Seeing it Is believing it. You mustn't forget to stop breathing Waking up is easy Roll the dice take your turn Silence is talking. Change into something Something you know nothing of Turn up on time Blackout. The singularity can never be What with Yin and Yang and you and me On and off In and out Up and down And so it goes....... Look Look what we've done The mess I made you're still making The tears shed still breaking Waves And Falling from every pedestal you got on So.... Get up

Because you’ll fall in love with me And I’ll fall in love with you And it’s dangerous And it’s beautiful And your “friends” will resent you And me And my “friends” will resent me And you Then it’s just us All the time Look what we’ve done Look what we do Isolated Just me and you. Then we argue and make up One day we argue and break up Look what we’ve done Look what we do Happy alone With the drugs we use.

The Drugs We Use

Because you’ll fall in love with me And I’ll fall in love with you And it’s dangerous And it’s beautiful And your “friends” will resent you And me And my “friends” will resent me And you Then it’s just us All the time Look what we’ve done Look what we do Isolated Just me and you.

What you worryin’ about and why’d you worry? Why’d you care and what’s the hurry? For all we know of our existence our saving grace remains our distance. Calling out to the small, calling out to one and all, “Leaves that fall and leaves that fly, leaves that smile but always die and names we call as bridges fall were never meant to fall at all.” If ever I was in a room with no-one else but you The space around would tell the tale of red not blue I peel away the chances that I had that brought me fear and wonder what on earth I would do if u weren't here I love you in the morning and the days when you’re not there I love you in the night the darkness makes me unaware of all the days that we have missed, days are so unfair If I must die alone I die wishing u were here. I load my gun with pink bullets in the hope that I can spread, The kind of love I see and feel as I dream in my bed. I'll pick you off one by one in the hope you're not dead but if you are then i'm sorry that you bled I blow the smoke and I reload as i start to see, I hope I kept just one pink bullet for me. I load the bullet, **** the hammer and start to snigger, the bullet bounces off me when I pull the trigger. In the night I played the cicerone, The guide to all things sad When morning breaks I'm still awake and crave the skin I've had. Drinking now and not allowed to shake upon my feet I drown every part of me until again we meet. Sleep is not the answer if my dreams are not of you. I'd rather lie awake to think and starve if you were food. Darkness doesn't help cos you’re the light that shines through The light that moves on every single thing I do. Red sky in the night and in the morning blue like eyes. If you are the truth then I'm sick of telling lies. I don't like what it does but I like some things it buys. If you were money I’d be the richest man alive.

Cicerone

Different places seem the same And once your down you can't quite explain it, like a fading dream You're in and then out to preach To muddle through an imperial speech Walk unashamed You play the game Until the castles breeched Soldiering on through the blind war with all weather shades and a score to settle. The air tastes funny yet I ain't laughing Incensed What shakes you, resonance What makes you, persistence Rainbows but not a drop of rain there she goes again and again Case it and flash a zippo at your homework inscribed with S.T.U Time and again the disposable friends recycle themselves degrade You shook me all night long and as I begin to shake back Your dust drops I'm unemployable Unmistakable Unthinkable Undeniable Untenable And often incredible But impossibly unlovable Love For no other reason Like a movement By the hand Of a spectacular Like you did Cos you could And you meant it. Stay away it's just a game we play Holding you to ransom trying to take a swipe At fame. Heavy heads drag heavy legs slowly scraping by Propped up by the magical The illusive Dollar sign. Holy **** I knew it something's very very wrong. No matter what we cannot simply play along. Changing shape from place to place On the edge of something real Slowly realising you're running on a wheel.

Make each other lonely by being there Make each other scared with words Make each other care because we do and feel free like we should Hang off of stars but in different ways Shorten the nights and lengthen the days Follow the road to somewhere and sooner or later we'll get there.

Love is not a card A rose A heart even It's the chemicals in us Stardust It's loss in it's gain It's the wind the rain The fall The rise again The different But the same It all happens All the time In each tear from your eye

Mindlessley inside me Struggling to be free Cutting from all sympathy Radiating empathy Dilution of the inside Malfunction and override Fluctuating moonlit tide Feeling so alone inside

Incredible insanity grows thick in city streets The black and blue of winter makes the misery complete I saunter down the crystal street composing lonely beats Controlling patience for the moment you and I will meet Sensitivity complexity are symbols on your soul Perplexed by past emotion prior love has left me old The wall is not of wonder and it keeps our love so cold Years ago in lonely streets is where our love was sold
