IN MY DREAMS I'VE SEEN MY DEATH
RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES
I FEEL A WEIGHT LIFT OFF MY CHEST
JUST BEFORE I DIE
LIKE CHILDREN CRYING
TEARS OF BLOOD
HUMAN DECENCY DIES
FLOODING VISIONS OF THE END
FLASH BEFORE MY EYES

A SMILE ON MY FACE
A MIRTH THAT WILL NOT FADE
I WATCH YOU FAIL
AS YOU WALLOW IN YOUR SUFFERING
I WANT TO ENJOY THIS
HOW COULD I NOT
I WANT TO LAY BACK AND ENJOY THIS

(chorus)

UNDER THE SURFACE THE ANSWER LIES HIDDEN FROM THE WORLD
IN THE STREETS THE PEOPLE CRY DECAYING PROPHETS HAD THEIR TURN!

AND I FADE AWAY
LIKE YOU FADE AWAY

Nighty Night

A CREAKING IN THE DARK
EVERYTHING TINGLES
EVERY SCENE FROM EVERY FILM
FLOODING YOUR THOUGHT
BLINDING YOUR MINDS EYE
YOU FREEZE WITH PANIC
AS YOUR HEART SLOWS
YOU GRASP REALITY

FOOTSTEPS IN THE DARKNESS
YOUR HEART PLAYS A TATTOO
TUNNEL VISION
A COLD SWEAT RUNS DOWN YOUR BACK
YOU TRY TO CALL OUT
BUT WORDS THEY STICK IN YOUR THROAT
GAUNTS COMING CLOSER
JUST OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR

THE **** TURNS
AS THE DOOR SLOWLY CREAKS OPEN
YOU COULD DIE FROM TERROR
STARING OUT INTO THE DARKENESS

FOOTSTEPS IN THE DARK
HEART PLAYS A TATTOO
TUNNEL VISION
A COLD SWEAT RUNS DOWN YOUR BACK
YOU COULD DIE FROM TERROR
STARING OUT INTO THE DARKENESS
HAS YOUR MIND BROKEN
OR DID YOU HEAR YOUR OWN VOICE WHISPERING

YOU ARE ALL ALONE...

my attempt at a nursery rhyme

They say lifes short
But this is a lie
It's the longest thing you'll do
Till the day that you die
It's all about choices
You win some you lose
Depends on the pathways
The routes that you choose
This poems not to scare you
Or keep you in line
It's to encourage enjoyment
Of all of your time
I hate poems that rhyme
Like old mother goose
Or wrap up to cleanly
Like olde hangmans noose
So from this here poem
Take what you will
Or continue your own path
Which can be such a thrill
And with this last thought
I bid thee good bye
They say life is short
But this is a lie

I AM CANADIAN

Hey, I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader there's only one pelt I'm interested in....
I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dogsled Global warming has taken all the snow away....
and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, i do know Partel, Kareem, Xi Chein and Steve
and they're really really nice.

I have a Prime Minister who is *******, not a president.
I speak English and a little French, not American though we like to mock southern accents...
And I pronounce it 'aboot, not about...

I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack along with with motorhead and misfits patches...
I believe in peace keeping, not policing unless you count the G20...
diversity, not assimilation, unless it's the borg...
and that the ****** is a truly proud and noble animal and a bald one is truely a wonder to behold...
A toque is a hat that douchbags wear all year round, a chesterfield is a couch that my dunken friends sleep on,
and it is pronounced 'zed' not 'zee', 'zed' unless its Zebra because Zedbra sounds stupid!!!

Canada is the second largest landmass that can be pilfered by multinational conglomerates!
The first nation of hockey!
and the best part of North America... except vegas!

My name is Josh!!
And I am Canadian!!!
EH?

LATE NIGHT HAIKU

AS I LAY IN BED
WILLING MY HEART TO JUST STOP
I PAUSE AND THINK, WHY?

Joshua Dairy Fray Jan 2014

FICTION

REWRITTEN AND EDITED
LIFE PLAYS BEFORE US
CLIPPED AND GRAFTED
THE REELS TURN
THE ENDING YET TO TRANSPIRE
AND STILL UNKNOWN
AS IT FLASHES BEFORE US
WE ARE ENTRANCED
HYPNOTIZED BY FANTASY
LOST IN A WORLD
THAT CAN NEVER EXIST

SPHERES

CIRCLES ENCOMPASS ME
PULLING ME APART
ONE EDGE GRAZING THE OTHER
TRAPPED BETWEEN TWO ZEN PLACES
WHY DO WE CHOOSE THIS?
BECAUSE WE ARE BROKEN
