I know you believe I have no right
To tell you that I still love you.
However, even if I kept it to myself,
I would still feel it, so what good would that do?
I feel like you are always changing
And, I know I don’t feel the same
When all is said and done
Love is such a trying game
There has never been one like it
Designed so no one will win
There has never been an end
So how do we know where to begin?
We fumble and we fall
We fail to seek our eternity
However, it has a place and time
Like some lecherous fraternity

'Love you to the moon and back'
A diamond shining in the sky
This is merely a fantasy
A small-perpetuated lie
Where we find love
It should be simple, true, and kind
Is this where that phrase comes from
When they say that ‘love is blind?’
We give too much of ourselves to people
When all we seek is deep inside
We need to look for love within us first
The only place it can never hide
We face our trials and growth is not easy
Through the pain of where we need to go
Because if we don’t love ourselves
Then looking for love is just a show

As I let, you linger in my mind
You, the one in love, I lost
I am counting all my misery
Instead of the truth of what it cost
I lost myself to the one thing
I fought so hard to seek
Instead of making me strong
All it did was make me weak
I forgot the golden rule of thumb
We don’t find love, we attract
They say you draw love to you
Some believe this is a fact
But when I leave this mortal coil
And I journey to wherever we go next
I will have a few questions ~ not least of all
Can you put love into some small context?

A mood indigo falls
In solitary
Oceans of emotions felt
In my heart

Where echoes sound,
The beating of tormented
Desecration of the true spirit
Borne from vainglory

A potent distraction comes
From escaping woes
Engaged in war
Devised for my ruin

And when I awoke
To the conceited
Futile actions
Of an egoistic condemner
Flying monkeys
Fleet to justify
Stipulated misery,
All-in vain support

A mood indigo falls
In solitary
Healing for the strength of my
Frantic soul

Open to our inner desires
We want to find true affection.
Hoping such emotion is real.
With our heads in the clouds
We don't anticipate,
The imperfection
Or the human situation.
Before the errors
We frequently make.
We experience,
All the turmoil and drama.
We continue to chastise.
Even despise,
We tolerate and normalise,
An entire world of suffering.
In contrast to the vision, we see.
Do we truly know?
The path love will go.
How to have sincerity
We're not sure where to start.
Absorbed in the vision of
The idealism of the heart.
I've concluded.
Life isn’t what –
We imagine it to be.
The concept of love
Is stronger than –
The reality.

We are sequentially adrift
in time’s light motion
embroiled in the obscure darkness
which turns into a lavish midnight blue
deeper than the ocean
that will define these oppressed hearts

Age endures
and if we could roll back the years
can we go beyond measure?
to question blatant morals
or do as we’re told?
fervent in sublimity,
when so bold

We are locked in dream-filled fantasy
where we find devotion
lost in our epoch
so we can rise above
the memories we shared
it is not enough
when they say time will heal,
it won’t work for love

When the walls are closing in
I don’t know where to begin
That old M.A.S.H theme song
Ringing in my head
A presentience of ~
You’re better off dead
Those who are supposed to love me
Abandon me in my time of need
Persecute me, when I’m vulnerable
Their evil shines ~ such wicked deed
As more of me gets lost
Here, I count the cost
There are no avenues of hope
To cling to
No vision. No scope.
No nightingale to sing to
They leave me with nothing
They revel in my despair
Is there anyone genuine out there?
Once again, I’m picking myself off the floor
I simply cannot do it anymore
My eyes dimmed and dry
This world is not for me
Where do I chose to die?
I’m waiting by the sea....

I heard the news today that you passed
Our Heavenly Father has you cast
In a play of angelic proportions
Made you pure from life’s distortions
As we grieve in our different ways
Our memory of you forever stays

I remember our day we had in a northern town
With sincere gladness, as you take up your crown
Retrospective moments I treasure all my life
As you lay at peace from your recent strife
I will think of you often with warmth and charm
So you rest well, my friend away from all harm

Your poetic words often struck a chord
And in life, you were rewarded for your word
Our chats over music, poetry, culture and esprit
Showed your enthusiasm for people like me
I only wish there is an opportunity for goodbye
I shall send my spiritual presence to the sky

In this lifetime there is but one of us to know
In your time on earth you had so much to show
There’s a heartache, as time closes in
A time of healing for us to begin
So fly on with wings that soar far and wide
In how you touched this life, fly on with pride

For Christmas this year, I’d
like all those who are missing
back home safe
I’d like the lost and lonely
to find themselves again without trying,
safe in the knowledge they are loved and needed.
Those fake power hungry people who
destroy other’s lives – just because they can
the corrupt politicians who take from
the mouths of all those ordinary
families who are struggling to live
to be held accountable and a change comes
I wish each family all have ample
to thrive contently, this Christmas.

You, the weak and the listless
to find inner strength, so that you
may rise like the phoenix
in the blaze of glory, you burn
brightly shining orange and gold.
This year, end all world wars
send all the boys and girls home at last.
For me and all those people like me
will you bring a little happiness
so we may all find our place in this world?
can the orbit of life
echo this in all of us
this year, and every year, for Christmas...
