When asked what scared me most of all
After thinking, I said... LIFE!!!
We spend most of our existence
On the edge of a sharpened knife.
It starts when we are very young,
School, holds so much fear,
Expectations, many exams,
You must have all the gear.
Adolescence is no fun
Scared you won't fit in,
Then when leaving school
We are petrified,
A career, we must begin.
Then that fear of finding a partner,
For love can terrify,
Then that fear that you might lose it
Is enough to make us cry.
Then we have to pay the mortgage,
Or rent, it's just the same,
Then the amenity charges coming in,
Can drive us all insane.
Then there's food and clothing,
The list just carries on,
The weight of covering all these bills
Holds a fear that's never gone.
Then if children are involved at all
Their welfare, safety too,
We're petrified when they are out,
Until they're back with you.
So yes... it's life that scares me most of all,
It's in all our lives each day,
We manage fear the best we can,
Because that's the only way.

As the sands of time
Erase memories of our past,
I see confusion in your eyes.
The love we have
The laughs we shared
Now,
deep within,
it lies.
So painful is the silence
As I witness your beautiful eyes
search for some kind of clarity,
Good day, bad day,
Bad day, worse.
Good day, bad day,
Torture,
this curse.
Memories,
Family,
Friends
And me.
Fading,
Fading away into the chasms of darkness.
I love you.

Who are you,
Who am I,
You sit before me,
Why.
Are we connected,
In days of old,
I have no memories
Of stories told.
Who are you
Who am I
Why do you cry?

Now the pain's diminished,
My heart and mind's in sinc,
A few words now, I'd like to write
To tell you what I think.
I'd like to say...
You are my world
You are the air I breathe,
I'd like to say...
You are my heart,
You are the sunshine
In my clouded day.
I'd like to say,
I love you so much it hurts,
You are my every thought.
But I can't.....
If truth be known,
You are a selfish rude bully
Who only thinks of one person..
Yourself.....
Just saying!!!!

Here it comes again,
Slipping,
The anger building,
The hatred for everything,
Don't want to go out,
Don't want to see anyone or anything.
Frustration,
Agitation,
More anger,
More hatred,
No reason why for any of this.
Then you come in,
I see your face,
Your eyes,
Your smile,
I can feel the calmness
No words,
A touch on my shoulder,
A kiss on the cheek,
I am earthed once again.
THANK YOU.

Racing hearts, as beats entwine,
Mixed ideas in lustful minds,
Eyes that meet,
Limbs that touch,
Going too fast,
Want so much.
Beads of sweat, stifled air,
All my passion, need to share,
Thighs that tremble,
Arms that clutch,
Going too fast,
Want too much.
Satisfaction, fulfilled needs,
Trodden pastures, planted seeds,
Forgotten pleasure,
Ships have passed,
Had too much,
Went too fast.

The devil took his fight to God,
The angels met halfway,
The people living in this realm
Called it judgement day.
When lightening from the heavens,
Met fury from below,
Disruption reigned on mother earth
Many years ago.
The angels then, claimed victory,
Sent the demons on the run,
On returning back through the devil's gate, a new era had begun.
The devil, gathering demons said,
" I promise you this day, one day we'll return to mother earth and things will run my way".
I believe that time is upon us,
So much evil, greed and hate,
I believe the devil has returned,
He has come to seal our fate.
So let's pray there's still some angels,
Who can come and stop THIS war,
Let them conquer this modern day devil,
So we can live in peace once more.

Things are moving,
Nothing there!
Curtains blowing,
Rocking chair.
Peripheral shadows,
Doors that creak,
Haunting groans,
High pitched shriek.
Hair stands proud
On back of neck,
Hand on shoulder,
WHAT THE HECK!!!
Ghosts that wander
Fires of hell.
Bed time children
Do sleep well.

Is it the pain that brings the memories
Or the memories bringing pain?
All I know for sure right now,
Is the result is just the same.
