Yes, come
Come walk with me on the high lands
where so few have ever trod.
Where the air is crystal pure
in this place where majestic eagles soar.
Listen, listen to the silence
of this pure un sullied place,
gaze at the beauty that man has not yet defaced.
Yes, walk with me in the splendour
created by natures hand
breath deeply of the beauty
before its to destroyed by man

The
relief I found
is sustaining and freeing.
No longer working
******* tests.
No more
bullies.
Peace.
I now have
obtained it.
Peace, wonderful
peace.

...
So difficult was this year of school.
Glad for a vacation! :) <3

WHY
Old bent and broken
Like some worn out shoe
Why!! Where did I go wrong, what did I do?
I served my country, paid all my dues
Now all I have left is this worn threadbare suit
For the next few hours I'll just wander the streets
Find an empty doorway, have a few hours sleep
Food! Well at my age a littles enough
A few discarded chips or a hard stale crust
I think of my comrades who gave up their lives
Now I wish I'd died with them
Beside them to lie
Its not my fault that I've grown tired and old
But who's going to mourn me
As my body grows cold
This is an edited version of something I wrote a long time ago and is written for all the ex servicemen who will be spending this Christmas hungry and cold in a shop doorway

There is a Gaping Chasm between
The Popular and the Artistic...
I have many Popular Pieces
That have trended in the end
Just as many Aesthetics, passed by
But if you take the Time you Find
Amazing things upon my mind
So Take the time to View as you Peruse
To Places, and Faces, All totally New
With. a new eye to see when you do

I don't care anymore
About long held childhood dreams
Just give me my fields and my forests
Or a rocky perch o'er looking the sea
It's in such places that I can gather my thoughts
And write the words in my mind
Its in such places that I can get lost
Forget the rest of mankind
Here in the solitude away from turmoil
Here my mind is at rest
The smell of the pine trees or the sound of the waves
Tis in such a place you can lay down and rest

This is great website, and I've met some lovely writers, and I hope to I meet even more - but *** are all these preaching comments???

I've never met a writing place with so many unofficial spammy preachers!!!

I don't need ******* preaching at!!!

How do you know I need salvation - maybe I'm already saved - have you thought about that?  Or maybe I'm just a blind idiot in your opinion.  But either way your pointless unfriendly and ungodly manner has zero effect. You've never met me - you know nothing about me.  From now on anyone who spam comments and preaches on my work gets instantly blocked - use your energy elsewhere.

And here's another thought: what if what I write is called creative writing - heard of that before have you?  Not everything I write is about me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who does that.

Apologies to all the kindly beautiful writers on here - it takes a lot make me have a swearing rant, I guess I've just ruined my kind reputation.  Just had enough of the spam ****, and in my real life I NEVER tolerate idiots, and I won't here either.

I don't mind the mention of God as a personal view, I'm not God phobic, no problem with that, but just don't leave messages as though I know nothing and I need saving - I **** well don't.

Your sincerely
One very ******* writer

Let's all climb aboard the freedom bus and leave this mad ratrace world
We will build a new world at the oceans edge free from all worries and cares
No more petrol pollution or ***** grey streets, no more tasteless plastic wrapped food
A new world of freedom, fresh air and fresh food, a world so clean and so good
If you want to be part of this brave new world then climb on the freedom bus now
Say goodbye to this mad ratrace world, say goodbye to your worries and cares
Say goodbye to your ***** grey streets, board the bus for your freedom is here

As days passes
I look for improvement
If I couldn't find one

So I walk down
to the Memory lane

Will grab the situations
where I got Freedom
to crawl
to cry
to express

This walk through of
my past

Completeley cools down
the depressed state of mind

Helps me to Tranquil my thoughts
Which is me inside me
Thoughts are me and
Moments of my life
can cure and heal my
Thoughts
May be this isn't that
good
I made it up everything

Somewhere there is a wondrous place
Everything is free
Somewhere there is a gap in space
The whole One cannot see
Somewhere, someone must hold the key

This place unknown to man
Is full of magic and simplicity
Freedom awaits beyond our society

This place is colored a florescent glow
Nor time, nor space,
A brightness no man could know

So onward man will search to find this place
This gap in space,
Where freedom awaits,
Will we ever find the hole that fits the key?
Will we ever break into reality?

No permanent home no mobile phone he doesn't need any of that
All that he needs, all that he wants carried in a bag on his back

No hot morning shower to brighten his day just a dip in an icy cold stream
He wanders the byways and small country roads seeking to fufill his dreams

He needs no soft bed under a roof just a grassy bed under the moon
Far does he travel the small country roads, he needs no bus train or tram

He's quite content with the life that he chose, the life of a wandering man
No beer or fine wines will he ever drink, for him cool clean water is fine

His dinner food that nature provides so no worries about earning a wage
His life is an unfinished book, each new day the start of an unwritten page

He's content living this way under the sun and the stars
He knows it will end as for all men it must when he finally writes the last page
I've reposted this in response to Travelers Hobo poem, I've called him a wanderer and all countries have them

Freedom,
Like the rain, it washes all away
Past memories, horrors - everything is rinsed away; relief remains.
It feels like sand between your toes,
Leaving you lost in your impulsive throes.

Freedom,
In her dissolving smiles,
Her mischievous flirts,
Her sweet small skirts...

You've missed her for so long...

The touch of her spine,
The caress of her thighs,
The weightless good byes--

Ah! Freedom, *she smells like rain...

In wich realm would such heaviness stop?

I chose painkillers to forget it all
- and it did not calm the heart ache.

I came down the stairs, left it all behind
- and did not find me lighter.

I merged with the landscape
- and stillness and cosmogonic beauty
did not lift the weight.

I reached out, shared my bread and my water,
I deleted me and brought back together I and you

- and there, amongst mankind, learning how
to become a giver, my heart found no chains.

"I believe the universe provides us with what we need.
I have always gotten what I wanted in the end."
Then you
Are a lucky man.
And I want to believe in the plan
Something has for me
Want to see my losses as steps
Forward
Want to let the pain roll out of me like rain
But
When I look around
I see so many people who do not know what it is to be
Stuck.
To be
Powerless.
To know that although they hold spinning galaxies in all their paper lantern bellies
They must
Be
Small.
I see people who say
That it is a choice to be free
And I think
How lucky you are, how
Blessed
With choice.
I am in pain.
I am
Bound.
And
I feel no envy
But
What I wouldn't give
(If anything I treasured were mine to give)
What
I wouldn't give
To choose
Otherwise.
