GarethLemley - Hello Poetry

Emaciated Apparitions haunt this cities streets with their Hollow eyes and Outstretched Arms , to them its just another day seeking to feed the monkey on their back. Durban is a city of Needles and spoons DEATH TO SURF CITY Durban is NOW , just another city of Needles and spoons Unholy Wraiths glide away from memories, now forgotten, taking that trip from needle to arm, a life lost , a past forgotten. This is DEATH TO SURF CITY Humanoid husks with liquid lined veins , endlessly seeking Strands of golden sunshine sold by street side vendors. THIS HAS CAUSED THE DEATH OF SURF CITY Oh the city weeps, as sirens wail along her streets. Durban is a City of Needles and spoons

DEATH TO SURF CITY

Emaciated Apparitions haunt this cities streets with their Hollow eyes and Outstretched Arms , to them its just another day seeking to feed the monkey on their back. Durban is a city of Needles and spoons DEATH TO SURF CITY Durban is NOW , just another city of Needles and spoons Unholy Wraiths glide away from memories, now forgotten, taking that trip from needle to arm, a life lost , a past forgotten. This is DEATH TO SURF CITY Humanoid husks with liquid lined veins , endlessly seeking Strands of golden sunshine sold by street side vendors. THIS HAS CAUSED THE DEATH OF SURF CITY Oh the city weeps, as sirens wail along her streets. Durban is a City of Needles and spoons

Oh I remeber the night we lay entwined , lost to space and time we held each other naked , lips locked , hands moving, reaching , learning I sank into your soul through your eyes I searched your inner being for your wants and needs I had no fear of what I saw , I blissfully floated for hours in the depths of your being caressing your soft amd gentle heart I will hold you forever , protect you My armour will be battered as I shield you from life we are now one symbiotic I will envelop you and shield you from harm we are now one

We Are Now One

Oh I remeber the night we lay entwined , lost to space and time we held each other naked , lips locked , hands moving, reaching , learning I sank into your soul through your eyes I searched your inner being for your wants and needs I had no fear of what I saw , I blissfully floated for hours in the depths of your being caressing your soft amd gentle heart I will hold you forever , protect you My armour will be battered as I shield you from life we are now one symbiotic I will envelop you and shield you from harm we are now one

You are gift given to me wrapped in the heavens and stars an angel who spreads her wings and reveals a heart as bright and warm as the sun I bask in your beauty and lie numb as I soak in the blinding rays of your heart they penetrate deep into my being , my soul bringing light to the darkness bringing purpose Your light embraces the vastness of my being , bringing warmth and comfort I have never known before. I stumbled in darkness for a life time , the joy I feel now as the night recedes , oh I bless the the day we met and curse the minutes and hours we apart. Oh how I rejoice that I met you. Love and life Return.

Life and Love Return

You are gift given to me wrapped in the heavens and stars an angel who spreads her wings and reveals a heart as bright and warm as the sun I bask in your beauty and lie numb as I soak in the blinding rays of your heart they penetrate deep into my being , my soul bringing light to the darkness bringing purpose Your light embraces the vastness of my being , bringing warmth and comfort I have never known before. I stumbled in darkness for a life time , the joy I feel now as the night recedes , oh I bless the the day we met and curse the minutes and hours we apart. Oh how I rejoice that I met you. Love and life Return.

Silence drapes the day as the African sun beats down While the birds sing and flutter from branch to branch, sweet mother nature's melodies carried on the breeze. Blue skies filled with dreams , not a pillow of cloud in sight. So here I sit and fill my soul reminiscing of conversations from our time spent together words turn in my mind , painting portraits willfull wishes , hopes and aspirations. Angels Wings , You my Beauty Oh how I feel blessed

An Ode

Silence drapes the day as the African sun beats down While the birds sing and flutter from branch to branch, sweet mother nature's melodies carried on the breeze.

So here I sit and fill my soul reminiscing of conversations from our time spent together words turn in my mind , painting portraits willfull wishes , hopes and aspirations. Angels Wings , You my Beauty Oh how I feel blessed

So here we are another Friday night amd the routine will probably play out the same way it always has .. I find myself lazing on the couch staring at some 90's television show waiting for my wingman to arrive.. I always get aggravated around this time , he is always late, but in the back of my mind , I know that he is in the red rocket hurtling toward Uitenhage , dodging buck and tortoises with Addo in his rear view mirror.. The minutes tick by slowly as I wait in anticipation for his arrival , I am sure I will start pacing soon amd stealing peeks out the window at every sound in hopes it is him.. It's Friday night amd ***** going to get real , honestly it's the way we always thought it would but living in a small industrial town like Uitenhage doing anything felt like a huge party at the best of times Finally I hear the sound of car making an abrupt halt and park under the tree , just infront of my folks home. Car door swings open and out climbs the dude i been waiting for .. Clad in the usual garb, flannel shirt , blue jeans and the complimentary steel capped boots, unkpet shoulder length hair and stubble that would make the hairiest bear in the forest jealous.. "Hey G" he pronounces " sorry I am late man, but had to catch up on some X-Files, before hitting the street"... **** Dude you always late" is the best I could come up with . "Let's rock n roll man , I wanna get outta this joint and light up the night".. So after our front yard banter we both Hopped into the Red Rocket and headed off down the road still not entirely sure where we were off too but the night was still young and we had alot to get through

Friday night in 1995 Waiting for the Red Rocket to Pull in Drop in with speed land underneath the tree Then this night is gonna get started In a zip and whizz the eagle has landed Hop into the front seat Rolling Joints as we go First stop The Milner street pad who will be there ? four hip and high cats puffing on snipes with guitars on the floor and doodles on the wall this is a far out spot where we will wonder and ponder the existence of small town life pass around blunts and talk some more.. minutes flow like a psychedelic waterfall with intertwining colours churning into everlasting hours Memories made that I carry to this day There will be no talk of sport or the last fight cause over here we dont roll with testosterone But with hungry minds Cassettes play the tunes of the hour Heavy riffs and indie trips have carried these few youths away once again we broken free from this small town living become larger than life in this tiny room were the social outcasts come to play...

I met that Bo on the way to Bangor Last Spring He was a man blown outta glass Just released from the Big House Most said that he was a Bindlestiff But there aint no truth In that He looked at me and called me an Angelina Just another inexperienced kid Who wanted to hit the rail and travel He sat me down by the fire and told me about Bad roads and accommodation cars and how to flip and evade the Bulls also how to spot the easy marks Bindlestiks and California Blankets We sat eating bullets and gumps Smoking snipes into the night. With the moon as our cover Safe in the Jungle No buzzards around that night The following day we would be padding the hoof along the main drag Looking for a train to grab on the fly and see were destiny would take us

Waking up Last night we chose to ride those Chill Pills Now,Waking up, I am trying to shake it The Memories flash like a B rated movie Just who was that woman with the heels ? Here I am trying to waking up Edge of the bed, watching the slides in my mind Its like moving through a wasteland haze and daze Far out Wild Still trying to tune in Am I waking up .................not yet Need a trip to Vitamin Village Solo Flight 101 Short trip to Rio Gather the scattered thoughts haunting my mind It's time to wake up Take my red orbs outta this pad Slowly, ever so Slowly this cat is WAKING UP ..
