The Tides
Kings Floyd Jun 2011
waiting for the sun to set
and the moon to shine,
as the tides sweep in and
the flow of tides take away my mind

wash away my thoughts of dread
take me out to sea
shine the moon’s brilliant light
bathe me in honesty

the salty sent of sympathy
as the waves crash down
the drowning roar of empathy
slowly push me towards the shore

the rocks are coming nearer
I have nothing to fear
As the water becomes clearer
I see the outline of the peer

The water becomes clearer
Allowing me to see
The coral clings to my skin
As I let the tides be free
As I let the tides free me

Washed ashore
Desperate no more
The tide has washed away my mind

College
Kings Floyd Dec 2011
Welcome to college!
Here’s a crash course of campus;

Im majoring in procrastination,
And minoring in cramming.
My teacher’s name is Boring,
It’s a wonder I’m still standing.

This class is mumbo jumbo,
While this just makes no sense.
All the kids drink coffee,
And the teachers are all so tense.

I fall asleep at night
With the lump in the next bed snoring.
I put my clothes on right before bed,
I don’t have time in the morning!

The first building here...
Is exactly where?
The next building over...
You need a map I swear!

The café gives you goop.
For breakfast today its gunk.
I skip the middle meal of the day,
For dinner its beer and junk.

People say college is awfully hard;
With teachers, tests and money.
They say studding gives you a cramp.
To me it sounds like camp.

Angel from Hell
Kings Floyd Dec 2011
I'm your angel and your devil
Your heaven and your hell
I'm the disease and the cure
The sickness makes you well

I'm your saint and your sinner
To lose makes you a winner
I'm your angel and your doom
But you life I might consume

I’m your best day and your worst
I’m your blessing and your curse
The remedy that makes you fall
Your success that leads to your downfall

This is your living nightmare
This is your favorite dream
I’m exactly the person you think I am
Just not as it may seem

I wear a halo
I come from the deep
I’ll wake you up from your wildest dreams
And put you back to sleep

I am what you think I am
And yet I am not
Im your guardian angel
And yet I come from hell

You’ve been forewarned…

Abstract
Kings Floyd Dec 2011
I whistle like winter
I glow like mars
I sing like roses
And whisper like stars

I run like wild horses
I glide like the melody
I share no secrets from the sun
As far as you can see

I wonder like the river
I shine like never before
I puzzle like eternity
And dreams come evermore

Beauty is Pain
Kings Floyd Dec 2011
Beauty is pain,
The old refrain,
For vanity has your conscience slain.
Why suffer to get what you’ve already got?
By the looks of it you’ve got a lot.
Why pine for what is already a possession?
And tug out slowly the untruthful confession.
Why strive for what you’ve already earned?
Why desire something already yearned?
For the beauty within is confined to no walls,
A prisoner within no halls.
Beauty is honest,
Beauty is right,
Beauty is seeing the light.
Beauty is not pain at all,
Just happiness after the fall.

Sudden Drinking Whim
Kings Floyd Jun 2011
As he walks her down the hallway in the hospital, he thinks of all the ways he could have been better. He thinks of all the ways he could have made life easier
He thinks of all the ways he could have treated her
How he always said he needed her
And yet the only time she saw it was in his sleep
When he was in trouble too deep
For even her to comprehend
He thinks he feels remorse
However he’s never tried to apologize
He’s never actually lied; just never admitted to the consequences of truth. She is there because of him
Because of his sudden drinking whim
Because of the bruises down her face
Because only now does her disgrace
Come on the radar in his eyes
Whatever happens now
Is different from how it could have been
If not for the sudden drinking whim

— The End —
