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.

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!

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.....

Thought the sun was lost
Found it
When you

Two of life's simple pleasures
Are waking up
To the warm sun
Shining from the depths
Of your eyes
Accompanied by the smile
That chases all my nightmares away

We've laughed
We've cried
We've loved
We've definitely fought some epic fights
We've dreamt
We've planned
We've walked
We've seen some amazing sights
And
We will take on more steps
Journey to faraway lands
Dreaming of the things we'll do together
Make plans to broaden our horizons
We will love with a passion so colossal
That our fights will seem insignificant
We will laugh at all the silly things we do
We will cry at the things that hurt us
We will do all those things and more
We............

There is a man
Who likes to pretend
That he's pure and holy
When really his mouth only spews out baloney
*These hands of mine,
a thousand men have bested
and thrice that the ladies
they have pleasured!*
This man likes to wear all white,
And on his head he props a halo.
He hides his forked tongue in plain sight
With which he claims to be a fine ole fellow
*These friends of mine
All shapes, all colours, every walk of life
All indebted to me
Oh! Without me,
they couldn't survive!*
But like the viper in Aesop's fable
Your trust he repays the only way he's able
With your paramour he'll try his luck
Rejected he'd say "All I wanted was a free ****
*No matter, for with any luck
The old lady will let me out
There are girls who've taken my buck
And they'll take it again without a doubt*
So of this false angel be wary
A conscience he has not
Web of lies and deceit his main plot
For he has no friends only quarry
***Here lies A
Certainly a class Act
For when the reaper came to play
You can be sure no one wept***
