I Still Need You
Max Vale Sep 2020
You locked yourself away,
When we were fighting and screaming.
You refused to open the door,
When I was pounding and pleading.

The flashing lights came,
You were on the ground.
I was crying and praying,
For you to come around.

You looked lifeless on the bed,
Without you I'm incomplete.
The black raven bows its head,
I can't hear your heartbeat.

I still need you,
Please don't go.

Tell Her You Love Her
Max Vale Mar 2021
I don't know,
If you know,
But she doesn't know,
That you love her.
tell her you love her before it's too late

The Wind (2)
Max Vale Dec 2016
The wind is a spirit that can't be broken,
Its an eternal soul.
It will travel the world for centuries to come,
And  carry Santa and his reindeer, back to the north pole.
Thank you for so much support for the first one, i just had to write a second verse!

Can't or Won't?
Max Vale Jan 2017
There are things I can do,
However sadly I refuse.
To push myself harder,
And make me better.
You either can't or won't

Soul
Max Vale Jun 2017
I can not see,
For I am blind.
I can not live,
For I left my body behind.
I can love,
For my soul is always inside.
Max Vale Jan 2017
I walk these streets alone,
Empty, forgotten and finally free.
The old faces of happiness and hope,
Are long gone and never to be seen.
I'm the only one left,
My street is dead.
The old community that once thrived,
Has now sadly died.

The Proud Willow
Max Vale Dec 2016
A tree was born a hundred years ago,
It beaten hellish, horrible winters,
And yet it still continuous to grow.
It defeated awful, dry  droughts,
And yet it still continuous to grow,

The tree a proud willow,
Blossoms every fall,
Its always ready for tomorrow,
And stands strong and tall.

Eons later when it can grow no more,
Its heavy trunk aches really sore,
When it can last no more,
It finally closes its door.
Be nice to trees ;)

Bumble Bee
Max Vale Jan 2017
Bumble bee, Bumble bee,
Come and visit me.
Bring be Queen bee and King bee,
And we can all have tea.

Bye Bye Bumble bee,
I hope I see you soon.
Have fun at your nest by the willow tree,
And come back tomorrow afternoon.
50th poem , Cheers people ;)

Eyes
Max Vale Sep 2021
Were her eyes blue?
I can't remember.
Was it hot or cold,
August or December?
Did she have green eyes?
I still can't see her.
She's long gone,
Just like the weather.
Maybe she had brown eyes,
Just like leather.
But now she's left,
Maybe its for the better.
No she had gray eyes,
I wrote her a letter.
It got sent right back,
With a return-to-sender.

Journey to My Heart
Max Vale Jan 2017
Pass through the arteries and into the lungs,
Through the capillaries.
Till I  reach my heart.

A muscle at work,
A place of love,
A place of feeling,
A place of peace.


My instincts tell me not to fall back,
For if I do my story will end.
When I finally discover me,
I can finally make the world a better place to be.
Change yourself before you change the world

Don't Worry
Max Vale Mar 2017
Don't worry about tomorrow,
Don't worry about your mistakes.
If you don't worry you'll beat your sorrow,
If you don't worry you've got what it takes.

Blink
Max Vale Jan 2018
Every life matters,
Every life is worth living.
Give life your all,
And maybe you'll achieve something.

Treasure the little things,
As much as the big things.
Love yourself,
And see what life  brings.

Live your life with no regret,
Don't stop to think.
Don't be afraid of any threat,
Because life will go by like a blink.

Nightmare
Max Vale Sep 2021
i ran from monsters in the night,
from screaming demons in my mind.
i want my feet off off the ground,
its crumbling under me, the sound.
i reach my hands up to the sky,
maybe the angels will reply.
but its all silent.

Wolves
Max Vale Dec 2017
Life is always rewarding,
The rewards just take time.
You can accomplish anything,
If you have a go and try.

So no matter the times I slip,
No matter the times I fall.
Life is always worth the trip,
Climbing over the wall.

You can throw me to the wolves,
You can throw me off the track.
But in time I will return,
And I'll be leading the pack.
There is an old saying "Throw me to the wolves and I will return leading the pack"

You Can Go Further
Max Vale Oct 2017
Everybody gets lost sometimes,
Its part of life.
Everybody gets hurt sometimes,
No one can run or hide.

From those troubles,
problems and obstacles.
You have to face them on your own,
Don't be afraid of what you don't know.

And if you're ever afraid,
scared or terrified.
Come back another day,
The boat's always ready for a ride.

You were made weak,
Its OK to cry and run away.
Just make sure you learn,
And return again some day.

The Ocean is vast,
The Forest is never-ending,
The Moon is far,
And the path is always winding.

However the view from the mountain,
Will broaden your horizons.
At the end of your journey,
*You Can Go Further
I learn **** from life, Thanks life i guess

Why do we go to War?
Max Vale Dec 2016
When world leaders go to war,
Don't they know what they've done?
Why do they hate each other so much?
Do we have to fight?
Do we have to ****?
Do we have to have to ruin families,
By killing the ones they love?
Why cant we do good deeds?
Why do they make us fight?
Nothing is a "must", stand up for what is right.
We don't have go to war

To The Faraway Lands
Max Vale Jan 2017
My sails flap and flutter,
As my ship protests against the wind.
The ocean roars back its response,
While the continents sail out of sight.

Rain pelts against my back,
Thunder strikes my ship.
My ship attempts to fall back,
New sails I equip.

My ship must go on,
Till I reach the faraway lands.
The sun peaks over the horizon,
As the world calms and brightens.

Held Back
Max Vale Dec 2016
My body is of a man,
My mind is of a child.
My spirit is chained,
My soul is exiled.
My heart is empty,
My love is dry.
But I won't give up,
Trying to break free.
I'll get there one day,
So don't waste your pity on me.
Nothing will hold a person back doing their true desires.

Embrace
Max Vale Jan 2018
Look up at the sky.
How many stars do you count?
Are you sitting there lazing,
Looking up and stargazing?

Draw a constellation,
Let your imagination run wild.
Is that an angel I see,
Or is it a child?

The stars can be anything,
You can be too.
Embrace everything,
Then life will embrace you.

Broken Hopes
Max Vale Feb 2018
Everyone had dreams once,
Everyone had loved once.
We all sat upon the fence once,
We all come off the bench once.

We all belonged once,
We all cried once,
We all laughed once,
We all lived once.

We were all alone once,
We should have kept dreaming.
When you awake you have to choose your path,
Broken hopes, reality is harsh.

Mashup
Max Vale Mar 2018
Here we go!
Everybody gets high sometimes ya know?
What else can we do when we're feeling low?
Thunder feel the thunder,
Lightning and the thunder.
She said where d'ya wanna go, how much you wanna risk
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts.
I hate you I love you,
I hate that I want you.
Hey mama don't stress your mind,
We ain't coming home tonight.
Theres a hope just waiting for you in the dark,
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are.
If we go down then we go down together,
They say we can do anything they'll say that I was clever.
I've been running with the wolves,to get to you, to get to you
I've been down the darkest alleys, saw the dark side of the moon
To get to you, to get to you.
'Cause baby now we got bad blood,
You know it used to be mad love.
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do.
Are you ready for it?

Max Vale Jul 2021
the first time we met,
it was like touching heaven.

even though,
you've been gone,
your smile still carries on.

Cupid
Max Vale Apr 2023
I don't want to be lonely,
or regretting love every time.
been praying for an angel,
to descend from the skies.
and so little cupid,
with your arrows and wings.
shoot me down,
with a bit of everything.
and tomorrow when I wake up,
with feelings I won't remember.
I catch them and I lose them,
been waiting since november.

The Hurricane
Max Vale Dec 2016
The Hurricane is fearless, it spins and moves blind.
It more powerful than two tornadoes combined.
It may seem so big and cruel,
Like the bully from high school.
But if your're ever scared of the hurricane don't be shy,
It'll always let you hide in its eye.
Just cos its big'n'scary doesn't mean its horrible.

Here is Tale...
Max Vale Jan 2017
Here is tale from long ago,
It goes long but you wont get bored.
Where heroes slay a ferocious foe,
And this is their long lost lore...

Centuries ago when Romans ruled the land,
The barbaric Britons tried and failed.
To defend their noble land,
And so the Romans came and hailed.

However one queen would not have that,
She would cut the Romans down.
Despaired that her husband's death,
She made sure the Romans drowned.

Soon there were a ferocious battle,
The Britons fought strong and held.
They reclaimed their land and cattle,
And killed the Roman general.

Despite their victory,
Sadly it wont last long.
The Romans came and killed,
And the Britons were doomed all along.

The queen of Iceni,
Soon took her life.
The Britons remained buried her by a tree,
Next to her husband a loving wife.

So here ends my tale,
Its sad but true.
But to all Britons hail,
For they had victories too.
Cheers history.

Deep Thinking
Max Vale Jan 2017
I often sit and wonder,
What the world could have been.
Without its villains and heroes,
Or without me.

Would the birds sing in the morning?
Would people be so forgiving?
Would the flowers bloom in May?
Would the night become the day?

Would the world leaders be at war?
Would their tales still be ancient lore?
Would millions of people be saved?
Or would billions more die today?
Our world is at war. Everyone is dying. Why are we even fighting?
Lets stop war today @ www.stopwar.org.uk

You Are Not (Never) Alone
Max Vale Nov 2017
Life is about walking,
Not always in a straight line.
But always pushing,
The limits of your time.

Most people run,
From the wolves.
Most people hide,
From the toughs.

However life give us an option,
To take or challenge this alone.
Thanks to other's collaboration,
May we triumph over this cyclone.

No matter the winded paths,
No matter the unforgiving hearts.
May the path give birth,
To those long forgotten laughs.

So let's reach out to those in need,
And warm those hearts of stone.
Whatever this life heeds,
Remember you are never alone.

The rumored end is over,
Its happened and its true,
The apocalypse came and took over,
And of course it came too soon.

The world is left in ruins,
Not a single creature is left,
The Earth itself is confused,
And the God is not impressed.

However one thing remains,
It is seen alone on an empty plain,
It stands on a field so beautiful and true,
A white flower just for you.
