Do you hear that?
The sound of birds chirping in their nests
Of people crying and beating their chests
The sound of a mother cooing to her child
Of the teenagers going wild
The sound of a couple arguing with raised voices
Of the gamblers indulging in their vices
I do
The sound of a heart beating with love
Of sweet nothings carried on the wings of a dove
The sound of forgiveness being granted
Of the razor blade of hurt being blunted
I don't...........
All I hear is the sound of silence

Red, orange, yellow, green and blue
Love, passion, intelligent, loyal and ambitious too
Not to forget the nobility and mystery of violet and indigo
Amidst the righteous wrath and aggressive thirst of red, orange and yellow
Tempered with the peace, wisdom and magic of green, purple and blue
You're my cascade of colours,
My rainbow, I love you.

it's your presence
that keeps me grounded
it's your boundless love
that keeps me hopeful
and it's your relentlessness
that keeps me alive.
you are the biggest part
of my recovery.

Choking, grasping for air
Crowded thoughts more than I can bear
Succour once promised by lips
While they hid knives that destroyed friendships
Ghosts that disappear
When the worst is here
Burning with pain
To the floor I crumple as my self is slain
But give up I will not
I will not lie down and rot
This pain I shall embrace
Their lessons I will face
For make no mistake
I will not break
With my head held high
To these chains I will say goodbye
My happiness I have not forswore
I swear, I shall rise once more!

Hold on to the memory of sunshine
Yellow rays turned to a white blaze
Warming you to the inside
Burning life into you.
Hold on to the halcyon days
Of early sunrise and late sunset
When you had all the time
And none to waste.
Hold on to the promise of light
Rare in these grey days
A pale watery imitation
Glimmering in the clouds
Hold on to these gloomy spells
Where dawn and day and dusk
Have melted into the same
And your stocks are empty
That you might bask longer
When the light returns

A sigh of contentment
Tired muscles loosening up
In the heat of the water
I watch the steam rise
Hoping, praying with this act
My worries dissipate
I pick it up and admire its form
Through the wave of heat
There's still a glint
The glint of steel,
The keen edge
As it parts the flesh and
the ruby river of my life comes rushing out
I let my hands rest by my sides
Allowing the water to ease my troubles
As I lay my head back
And close my eyes

The sweet, sweet surrender
The cool embrace of the void
The absence of thoughts
The promise of an end to suffering
Do you hear it?
The Darkness
It beckons.....

This is just a short rhyme for you out there
Sitting in the shadows plotting your schemes
You think you're so clever; no one's aware
But imma tell you now honey, we ain't all dim
So if you wanna play, take out le dictionnaire
'cos language is a hurdle for you it seems
(mis)using 4 syllable words, you're full of hot air
So be careful next when you spin your web of dreams
It could very well become a nightmare.

Like the mouse avoids the cheese in the trap
And the water avoids the flame
Like mosquitos avoid citronella
He avoids you all the same
Like the fish who avoids the hook and the line
And the grape avoids being plucked from the vine
I hope that you'll stop reading my rhyme
And wake up, he avoids you all the time.

Thought the sun was lost
Found it
When you
Smiled
