When my work here is done
Deon Mar 2015
Pains, despair,
A fallen hero in disguise;
a smile that lies
an angel that bleeds
a heart some tears
I think it'll suffice

Pride, shame
tears in my eyes;
I wish, I pray
but nothing to gain.
I sleep unscathed
with nothing to lose
i wake up each morning
by paying my dues

a hungry, a sate,
a bird of prey
winning the battle
and losing the war
I sleep, I wake and over again
to live is evil just spelt backwards
I'm daft I'm stoic
sometimes a tippler

You sleep you wake
and over again
I'll die like you
but just not today
perhaps someday
when my work here is done
Deon Mar 2015
I know of a girl
I know nothing of
she's pretty she's cool
and writes just as good
I like her and somehow
I still don't know her
maybe she's scared, hurt
I do not know why
sad and cries all night long
but somewhere deep down
I still do like her
To You.

Memories of your Memory
Deon Mar 2015
Memories, Oh! the memories
Ones I used to have
of you, of us
they are fading away
no photos no letters
your smile, your laughter
vanished, vanished like the snow

Your eyes, they were hazel
hazel or brown
the colors elude me
your voice, your hair color
all gone with the wind

Memories of you i barely recall
first your smile, then your voice
soon your name they'll all be gone
and all that'll be left
Will be memories of your memory
I knew it'll come to this just didn't know when

Girl by the Lake
Deon Mar 2015
We sat, we talked, we sang in rhymes
Then listened to the girl by the lake
All night long she’ll talk and chime
About the man on the moon

He’s tall, he's short or what you may
He's wild and crazy and loves his time
He dreams of kids and sends them sweets
He listens to your stories when
It’s night here but bright on the moon

The innocence of the night
Pure and bright
Filled with bliss,
The wind dost hiss
It was cold that night as the waters’ kiss

The stars were sparse
In a vat of darkness
I stared with a purse
As the face of the moon
In ripples dispersed

We sat in circles as she told the riddles
Whisht! She whispers
The answer’s calling

Blank and void
My mind was young
Her eyes had lit
But my eyes were little

What’s your name?
Her voice was kind
I stared and smiled
With a vacant expression
Wish I knew I rubbed my eyes

Slow and steady the night crept
Darker and serene
The lights reproached
Down my spine a sharp cold went
I knew I've had the collywobbles
But why I thought?
Oh! My blanket’s been moved
I must've kicked it in my sleep

She smiled and hugged me
Kissed my forehead
If you don’t know your name
I’ll just call you mine
I grinned with comfort
For I loved her so
And all I dreamed of
Was the girl by the lake

Karyl's Special Day
Deon Mar 2015
Hush! It's Karyl's special day
And she looks pretty in every way
That it makes me want to stay
But now's the time to giddy and play

Keep smiling as I speak
And looking smart and sleek
Just promise not to peek
Don't worry I'm not slick

It's your birthday let's celebrate
Eating chocolate that tastes so great
And ice cream in the sun
having lots of fun
until the day is gone

It's your wish to make
And almost time for cake
Trust me the candles are fake
Nothing here is at stake

Those eyes filled with wonder
Oh! those pretty lips that smile
Make me stare and ponder
On your face it paints with style

Make noise and merry
Maybe dance aboard a ferry
Singing with a fairy
Just not one so hairy

It's almost midnight
We can shoot for stars that shine so bright
They'll make your eyes twinkle with delight
And sketch your beauty through the night

Today is your special day
And with you I'd want to stay

Losing my religion
Deon Jan 2015
Risks, they are scary
scary for you
but you aint me
for long i've sought after
the darkness in light
and now i'm lost

thats me in the darkness
trying to find a way
to a place once called haven
waiting to see the light

oh i know
i probably shouldn't say it
but thats just me
losing my religion
i've found my path
and this just feels so right

i'm no more defined by my beliefs
but by the choice i make
now i'm losing my religion
i have said too much

i've had enough
now i'm losing my religion
i've seen
the dark side of the light
and now i've heard
the sound of silence

i'm finally free
i'm outta darkness i think
oh yes if i die i'm not going to heaven
and neither are you
cos there's no place for the dead
for we all rot
yes we just rot

thats me in the darkness
trying to find a way
to a place once called haven
waiting to see the light
now i'm losing my religion

Merry Xmas
Deon Dec 2014
Fireworks and lights
lovers staring into dark starry nights
children dream of Santa and snow
music playing and couples dancing slow

all the music
all the joy
christian rhymes and cold fills the air

it's Christmas time
cold all the night,
snow flakes flying
snow men melting

i believe in father Christmas
i believe in fairy tales
i love singing mistletoe
and opening presents

its cold and i'm feeling sleepy
i know i'll wake with a smile
and i wish you a merry Christmas
and a wondrous new year

Colder Than Winter
Deon Dec 2014
its colder than winter,
since she walked out that door
and i'm going to miss her
shes told me that once

i didnt expect you to love me
all i wanted you to do is try
my feet has grown cold
and my tears turned to ice

as i watch the sun set
in this cold November nights,
wishing i can see you smile again
all i do is grow lonely

i couldn't make you love me
even if i tried
i wish i could have given you more
but now i lost all

my heart's frozen
since you walked through that door
i cant even smile anymore
you've torn me apart

Drowning in your sins
Deon Nov 2014
Tears may come and go
The pains may never cease
Its like drowning in your sins
Hurt from what you lost

Sitting in your bed
Covered in your tears
Wishing to be left alone

Yes the memories haunt
The feelings still the same
Time may seem to pass
But you still feel it like it was yesterday

If I did not love you
Deon Nov 2014
If I did not love you
If I didin't care
Then I wont stay up all night
Staring at the sky
Watching angels come and go
praying that you come back right to me

Sirius
Deon Nov 2014
So bright it shines,
Far away and yet so bright
Dazzling in the night sky
I stare at the heavens
And there it is staring back
Sirius the glowing one
Brighter than any
Outshines every other in the sky
Millions of them are out there
But none shines so bright

Sly Star
Deon Nov 2014
So shy and little you seem
raging and violent you are
a huge ball in constant motion
what a noisy star you are
yet so small and peaceful to gaze at
so shiny and beautiful you make the sky

My stalker and I
Deon Nov 2014
If you stop stalking me,
Then I can think clearly
Maybe I'll have peace of mind.

If you stop stalking me,
Then I won't be talking to myself
Maybe people won't call me crazy again.

If you stop stalking me,
Then I can go to sleep
Maybe I won't wake with you staring

If you stop stalking me,
Then my doctor will know I'm sane
Maybe I won't need my pills.

Once I was filled with life,
Now all I cause is strife
If I could be the same,
Then I'll stop stalking you.
Maybe I won't be so lame.

If I could sleep at night,
Then I'll stop stalking you.
Maybe I won't fear the light

If dogs don't bark when I'm near,
Then I'll stop stalking you.
Maybe you won't shriek like a deer

But I can't stop stalking you
For I shall be stuck alone
I can't stop stalking you
Because I have no hope on my own

I can't stop stalking you
For no one will see me ever again
When my time is due,
Then I'll ease your pain

I wouldn't stalk you
If I'd died with ease
And my flesh put to rest
For my soul would be in peace
And free from this torment

And when you die
Maybe you'll  find peace
Then you won't feel my pain
But until then, just like everyone else's
I'll always be there
Lurking  in the night
Staring at night
Your stalker and your bane

Wailing Ghost
Deon Nov 2014
Filled with sorrow and despair,
Stripped of love and life
Left pale with a broken heart
and a wounded lost soul.

Fueled by regret and pains
You know no peace
Can't find a resting place
Even in an empty vase.

Your cries I hear,
Your death; hard to bear
It's an empty world
With no one to share it
But the only I hear
Is your wailing ghost

— The End —
