New Zealander I am a hippie, traveller poet currently residing on the Isle of Skye Scotland. Poetry has shaped my life since I was small. I write so often my mind just kinda takes over the pencil. / If you like my poetry google me for more!
Who knows how long I've loved you Or that you've always been my guy Who knew how much I'd missed you After all this time had passed us by You may think I am a little crazy but I'm only crazy when I'm with you My heart pounds, my mind races I just don't quite know what to do I wear my heart on my sleeve this much I know is true I couldn't go on living a lie When I am still in love with you Am I destined to stay a memory locked up inside your mind Just know another heart like mine Is truly hard to find You may think I am a little crazy but I'm only crazy when I'm with you My heart pounds, my mind races I just don't quite know what to do I have called on all my angels tarot cards and my guide I cannot seem to find clarity My head is all mixed up inside I never really thought about it Till it hit me like a favourite song when everything felt so right How could it all be so wrong Here it comes again after oh so many years I thought I'd left it all behind I thought I'd cried it out in tears

You may think I'm a little crazy
I wandered down the cobbled path, On a sweetly fragrant summers day, What a difference a shade makes when skies are blue instead of grey I walked down beside the meadow humming with creatures great and small, Dancing amongst the wild flowers The beauty of them all I felt overcome with joy It's the trivial things you know to relax and enjoy mother nature Let all your worries go Dancing along side them to the beat of my own drum I honoured every one of them by creating my own hum I wandered back up the cobbled path On the most beautiful summers day I knew creating my happiness Is never too far away

I wandered back up the cobbled path
Don't hold on just let go, let your feelings flow There's a bigger world to see Your heart is young and free I have opened up the door so spread your wings and soar CHORUS (You can do anything for I believe in you Dreams are made to be chased catching them is what to do Always follow your heart for it sings your own song What seems to be a lifetime is never really long) Dance to the beat of your own drum the best is yet to come Your mind is your beautiful place thoughts shine through your face try to cheer all those you pass give them a hand if they are last CHORUS (Don't hold on just let go, let your feelings flow There's a bigger world to see Your heart is young and free I have opened up the door so spread your wings and soar

You can do anything (for I believe in you) SONG
I want to understand the world, I am trying to find my way while trying to figure out who I am, every single day I know I'll never be perfect, but I want to be the best I can I have come a long way from the place that I began This world it can be crazy, people can be so unkind I try to see beauty in the darkness, I use my own mind I have walked across the shadow's, lifted my head high sometimes along the way, I wanted to hang my head and cry I won't be boxed in with bitter chains, a label is not for me open your mind from humankind, set your spirit free We may want different things but at the end of every day a little love and understanding will always light the way So what if they want to judge, does it really bother you? It's a learning curve, one day they shall come through For you are truly beautiful, so let your spirit shine I'm happy you are in this world, especially in mine I have given you my heart, I want to make you proud I want to be your blue sky, and you my every cloud Let's figure it out together, let's help light each others way I want to understand this world, beside you everyday

I want to understand this world
I gonna sip another whisky, or drink another beer, I haven't yet decided what we're all just doing here, Well maybe this is a love song, if not some other time I just want the world to know that I am doing fine I may have a few regrets but for things I've not yet done Life is full of ups and downs, after each storm comes the sun You left me here alone to watch the sun vanish from the sky We should of shared it together confused I don't know why To me you were my story, I wore our hearts on my sleeve Why did you take your heart away, why did you have to leave? We were once so high, our love was so strong, In the blink of an eye where did it all go wrong? I taste the salt on my lips like drowning in an ocean I'm riding out a difficult wave of every difficult emotion I haven't quite decided but I feel like getting drunk Don't feel like working today, I might just do a bunk You were my guy you were everything to me I'm trying to figure out just who I'm supposed to be Well maybe this is a love song, or just a broken heart Or maybe it's a new chapter and I'm right at the start As the sun goes down an disappears from my view I slowly close my eyes and all I see is you We were once so high, our love was so strong, In the blink of an eye where did it all go wrong? I taste the salt on my lips like drowning in an ocean I'm riding out a difficult wave of every difficult emotion

Well maybe this is a love song (song)
Be strong mummy, please never let go hold me tight tell me you love me so Wipe away your tears put your lipstick on Dance with daddy to our favourite song Think of the memories we made everyday Keep them strong so they don't fade away Close your eye's and I'd cuddle you tight Mummy everything is going to be alright Mummy my sweet I am always your dear hear my whisper in the wind on the air I am now the one who's watching you grow I'm proud of you mummy, I want you to know The little things you did just to make me smile you were the one, who made everything worthwhile you dried away my tears, tickled my little toes Helped me tie my shoes, helped me pick my clothes Be strong mummy, for I am never far just look up at the sky, find the brightest star

Be strong Mummy (a short song)
We need to put down our weapons that is just the start We need to open our arms we need to use our heart We are all many things we are all different colours but somewhere down the line we started as sisters and brothers (CHORUS) Dance across our mother earth Feel the beat and dance as John Lennon rightfully said Let's give peace a chance Money doesn't make us richer It's just paper in our hand It doesn't give you power You've got to understand There are many different religions so many cultures too It doesn't make it wrong if it is different to you (CHORUS) Dance across our mother earth Feel the beat and dance as John Lennon rightfully said Let's give peace a chance Smile at every stranger be nice to all you meet You may not follow the same path but you may cross the same street Use your heart to love use your mind to be wise We are here to make a difference Like a sunset in the sky (CHORUS) Dance across our mother earth Feel the beat and dance as John Lennon rightfully said Let's give peace a chance

They appease us with the images they want us to see They lead us to a chamber of distorted reality, The events taken place are not all that they seem We are governed by a circus in a media dream, Perceptions can be hazardous, we drown whilst awake Our vulnerability gives them much more to take, Rejection hurts so they dry our tears In a state of panic they blind us from our fears, Paralysed in a demention of distorted reality Open your mind so you can truly be set free

Distorted reality
In the story of my life you're at chapter 33, I'm happy you are here to share this chapter with me I use to think that everyone I chose to be my friend Was exactly the same as me this idea I had to mend No one is ever the same we have different stories to tell We have all come a long way from where we first did dwell We have learnt many lessons we've grown along the way Our choices whether right or wrong have led us here today Our opinions are varied we'll never always agree But I feel so blessed that you're part of my story!

Part of my story
It's a space oddity for all that this came too for the man who sold the world should have sold it all to you Let's dance, for we are heroes we know there's life on Mars you our dear modern love now dance amongst the stars You were a rebel, rebel starman without you our world changes ashes to ashes, dust to dust Your body, your soul exchanges We know you're still alive but where are we now? Maybe next a china girl? we'll meet again somehow
