 Apr 2017 Deep Thought
Cerasium
Your love is strong and stronger still
Though you have left from my sight
Though it was not your choice
How can I know that we were right

Many have tried and yet none are right
So where out there is he
My love for you has grown sibling
And I know not of its return to mate

My soul aches and thrives to love
But who is my match to love
They wander from me to hide their presence
So I am not able to see

Why must they make me hurt
I can't take the pain no longer
To him I must be a disease
To not be shown this life
 Apr 2017 Deep Thought
Nigel Finn
I've got that feeling once again,
After staying up til 3 A.M,
When insecurities start to creep,
And I curse myself for lack of sleep.

It seems I have no way of knowing,
Which way my thought process is going,
One day I'm happy, the next I'm glum,
And console myself with smoke and ***.

I try to find a compromise-
Get blasted drunk, and close my eyes,
But the world keeps spinning round and round,
Bottle's empty- no peace found.

Like the Irish airman in the sky,
I seem to watch as other lives flash by,
Then I pass out, hoping I'll never know,
The places those tormented souls must go.
A Sassoon inspired poem (the last two lines are almost completely stolen from "Suicide in the Trenches"), with a nod to W.B.Yeats with the Irish airman reference. Two of my favourite poets.

Written whilst feeling a bit guilty that I'm just a small, insignificant person with not much power to change anything, and being quite drunk. Never a good combination.
Do not fall inlove with a writer
they see and feel everything.
particles that somersault in the morning ray telling them to embrace the day

They can smell the haunting
aroma of a coffee
whispers 'go grab your pen and write'

they look into a person's eyes
and could witness
how a sea crash into someone's soul

Do not fall inlove with a writer
they appreciate and value everything you do

they could see the entire universe
from your smile
only the ocean could tell
their hopes and fears.

They easily fall and break too hard.

Don't fall inlove with a writer
they'll make you their muse

from good times to bad times,
you will be the lyrics of their song.
Last Day
Its your last day, our last stay.
Why you not awake,
Open your eyes for me
And lets pray.
This was not a mistake
How we met on that day
In that same place.
Me and you together, thats what they say.

So, please wake and,
Wait till we both hit the hay.
Cause watching you fall asleep,
Is causing me so much pain.
Were in the same space, same place.
Open your eyes for me,
So we can play our last game,
talk this last talk and
End my pain.

Please don't leave me.
Don't you free me.
Cause you need me,
To guide you through this.
I can feel your pain.
At ease without you being awake
I understand its your last day.
Better to have your eyes closed,
To ensure we don't make no mistake.

I will pray,
Guide you through this,
To those forgotten gates,
On the other side
I will stay.
I will ensure your body remains at our place.
I will not forget you
I promise, I have that faith.
I feel like I'm alone,
Lost in this world,
Without no where to go.
Sometimes,
I'm like,
Forget this world.
I'm gone.

How can I have,
My friends and family around,
Yet  feel so cold,
Still have this hole.
I feel so lost.

Oh Lord save me.
These lonely nights,
Are making me hate me.
Didn't you say you,
Made me.
Changed me.
Saved me.
Lord don't forsake me.

My heart's telling me,
You got me.
But my mind feels,
Like you don't want me.
I feel so lost.
But in God, I trust.
Lord save me.
