Weather Days
Max Vale Jan 2017
The sun shines on happy days,
The rainbow appears on lucky days.
The rain weeps on sad days,
The wind blows on stormy days.
No matter the weather,
Being so clever.
It always surprises me.
Max Vale Jun 2018
Anger, Love and Hate,
Binds me as a person.
Sadness, Joy, Afraid,
Helps me or worsens.
My soul is held in strings,
Pulled by emotions.
But I'm not the only one feeling things.

One is not alone with these blinding things. My heart aches from the controlling effect of empty emotion.
But one such only reminds, the sorrow I feel when my heart stops.


When my heart stops,
My brain puts on the brakes.
My mind begins to jump and hop,
Because I can't grasp this.
My resources are empty,
My emotions are down.
See you in a while heaven,
My emotions make me drown.

I feel like nothing,
Like my mind is losing something.
I can't never tell what they are, I try to chase my feeling but they're simply too far.
My emotions are to fragile and weak, I'm slowly losing my mind... I'm at my peak.


I feel nothing,
I see nothing.
I can do nothing.
Duet! :)

Thunder

I'm your lightning.
Together,
We fear nothing.

Forgotten & Unsung Heroes
Max Vale Sep 2017
The heroes of long gone are forgotten,
Despite the good deeds they've done.
Now they lie in their graves rotten,
And no one knows what they've done.

The cotton picker who fought off wolves,
The candlestick maker who kept the pirates at bay.
The baker who fed the homeless with his loaves,
The beggar who brightened everyones day.

The soldier who sacrificed himself,
The nomad that fed the hungry.
The gypsy that always gave help,
The missionary that gave flowers to the sickly.

Their deeds are forgotten,
By everyone except me.
God bless them in their coffins,
And let's help others that are in need.

:)
These people were real they lived in my village for years,
God bless these heroes.

Let Me Burn
Max Vale Feb 2017
Throw me into the fire,
Please let me burn.
Throw me onto the bonfire,
And light I shall return.
Like a shooting star to Earth,
Who gives light as it dies.
However the star gives birth,
*To our wishes or demise.

Late To My Own Funeral
Max Vale Dec 2021
when I woke up
the morning was cold,
the sky was dark.
it was like even the Earth knew.
throw on my suit,
black as coal.
I'm late,
felt like the longest walk of my life.
when I get there,
the service has begun.
the priest begins his solemn words
there's flowers,
red, white, yellow
no one's crying - yet.
I take the last empty seat,
The coffin.
Max Vale Apr 2019
Thank you,
       For hurting me.
                 Thank you,
                      For setting me free.

Stranger From The North
Max Vale Oct 2017
I came from the north,
With my strings and guitar.
My family put their hopes in me,
So I may go far.

I wander these streets,
Alone and cold.
Forgotten stories,
Never to be told.

Every corner I turn,
Every house I pass.
I see sad faces,
Who never made it.

Lonely souls,
Saddened loss.
Sadists,
Whom all is lost.*

Alas, I couldn't go far,
The streets defeated my,
Strings and guitar.

Now I watch the cars go by,
Wishing I could have has a better life.

Glorious
Max Vale Dec 2016
I tried so hard but when I succeeded,
I forgot those who were there.
They left me with my glory,
As I slowly became history.

I sacrificed everyone I loved,
For something I didn't need.
So think twice,
No ,thrice,
If glory is really what you seek.
Is glory worth it?

Quotes
Max Vale Feb 2017
A homeless man once said to me,
My life's ****,
But I'm not complaining.
Don't be like me and wait for inspiration,
Be it.
Go and grow you own wings.

So I did.

I flew up to the sky and saw the ocean was blue,
The sky makes it that way but no one defines you.

I came back to Earth.

I came to the waters edge,
I saw people's dreams being washed away,
So I followed the sun,
And lived another day.

I left the ocean.

As I circulated the world I finally understood,
The people who live life to the fullest,
Are the ones who live it with nothing to lose.
Combination of some of my quotes,

One Plus One is Two
Max Vale Jan 2017
One plus one is two,
Four plus five is nine,
I hope you feel this too,
But I want to make you mine.
It may not be accurate.
Like 3.14 is pi,
But like infinity is never ending,
Like my longing.
For when we're together,
Like 7,8,9.
I want to stay with you forever.
Shout out to gf, love ya!
You're wayyy better at maths than me!

The rain cloud flys slowly,
Weeping tears as it goes.
Where it's tears land, people rejoice,
As the cloud continues to flow.

Nothin'
Max Vale May 2017
I've got nothing,
I've got no money.
The only good thing is,
I can't lose anythin'.
Meh.......
Max Vale Nov 2017
Have you ever had someone wander into your life?
That you never knew you needed
But now they're there it all makes sense

Aye, The path i once took,
From the Earth to the moon.
Is now over,
And no longer in use.

No longer looking for something that’s just out of reach
As far as the moon,
A new path opens
Will I take it?

I ponder,
I think.
In my slumber,
My dream winks

Pulling one way and then another
Back and forth
Which way will I go?
My subconscious trying to make a decision

Left,Right
And Center,
South, North,
No better.

I might try something new
Lead with my heart
Instead of my head
*For once in my life

The Wind (Collection)
Max Vale Dec 2016
The wind is a living creature,
Just like you or me,
It has and obeys no leader,
And the wind will always be free.
~
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.
~
The wind has a mind of its own,
It likes to play tricks and pranks.
The wind fears no foe,
As it travels the world alone.
~
The wind is not an invincible force,
It tires and aches too.
At the end of the day the wind sleeps,
On the horizon blue
~
The wind will always be there,
Blowing and Puffing.
You'll never be alone,
The wind will always be ready to play.
This is it, the wind's full story.

To Fade
Max Vale May 2020
It's a long road,
And I'm on my own.
I'm scared of the things,
That I don't know.

As the night comes,
I look up to the sky.
I send a prayer,
Hoping my dreams won't die.

I wish my monsters will leave,
And the demons will go away.
I'm just begging,
For the darkness to fade.

What are Poems?
Max Vale Jan 2017
What is poetry?
Some people may ask.
Is it just basic literacy?
Or is it an art?

And I say:

Poems are places where we express our feelings,
And turn our emotions into words.
As we make those words appealing,
We create a different world.
I don't think anyone's wrote a poem about poems so yeah here goes.

History
Max Vale Dec 2016
Will you be lost or be part of history?
Will your story be told or remain a mystery?
Will your descendants know what good you've done?
Will they finish what you've begun?
Will they sing your song of joy?
Will your song remind them not to run away?
Or will your memories falter,
And slowly fade away?

Overdrive
Max Vale Jan 2017
Start up my engine,
Pick up my boots,
Tie up my laces,
Hear the pep talk.
I run sprint and walk.
I jump into the air,
My team mates propel me,
Into Overdrive.

I'll Come Home
Max Vale Feb 2019
Remember when I told you,
That there will always be hope.
Remember when I told you,
To hold onto the rope.

Remember when I told you,
The road was long.
Remember when I told you,
To please stay strong.

Remember when I told you,
You'd never be alone.
Remember that I've promised,
That'll I'll come home.

Don't Say I Don't Love You
Max Vale Jun 2019
Calm down,
No need to go crazy.
It’s so easy for me to say,
The screams in your sleep they never fade.

We'll fight all the monsters,
We'll keep running.
Till we get out alive.
Swear to God won't let you die.

So take a deep breath,
And think about what you say.
Don't say I don't love you,
Because you know I do.

Someone New
Max Vale Sep 2020
My head was pounding,
The world was spinning.
I can't see my surrounding,
Pain is only beginning.

I could hear your voice,
You were weeping and crying.
In the background noise,
I could hear the medics trying.

The silence is creeping,
A sleep I can't escape.
My eyes were falling,
My vision full of shapes.

I'm sorry I didn't make it for you,
Hope you can find someone new.

Laces
Max Vale Jan 2018
There's a time when you're lost,
Alone, terrified.
There comes a time when you feel,
Scared and horrified.

Everyone goes through these phases,
Yet not everyone makes it out alive.
There are some impossible stages,
Wait a little while, and see it resolve in time.

So if you're ever down,
Depressed and tainted,
Take a knee,
And tie up your laces.

Sugar
Max Vale Mar 2017

Yes Please!

Without sugar, I cannot thrive,
If I cannot thrive, I cannot survive.

All You Tell Are Lies
Max Vale Jun 2019
Cruising in some Off-White,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Eating some french fries,
Keeping my dull eyes,
Close to the skies,
This is our prize,
Our dizzying highs,
There is no surprise,
Don't wear a disguise,
When will we realise,
All you tell are lies?

My Guitar
Max Vale Oct 2017
Standing on a rocking boat,
Waves thrown against me.
Wrapped in a warm, thick coat,
The Ocean turns against me.

Washed up on a sandy shore,
The sky is blue.
Boat smashed in pieces,
Guitar still in tune.

Walking through these woods,
With nothing but my music.
Alone in this forest,
Strumming to the acoustic.

Carved ancient rocks,
Of a civilization long ago.
My music reminds these rocks,
Of a life long ago.

These lustful meadows,
Of roses and violets.
My music grows these meadows,
Of flowering little starlets.

This towering mountain,
Of tranquility and solitude.
My music warms this mountain,
And softens its attitude.

Sun rising above the mountain,
At last I've reached the peak.
Moon falling below the horizon,
And so this new life I meet.

Standing on a floating cloud,
With just my guitar.
Departing from his life,
And taking my music afar.
Music can do anything, When in doubt play :)

We all don't belong on this world,
It takes us a while to settle in.
But alas once we have I am told,
The future brings more in.

So don't be afraid to let go,
Don't let your joy become sorrow.
For once you have courage to lose the shore,
You'll have the bravery to cross.

Life is short,
So lets see all its splendor.
Raise your torch,
And say hello to new adventures.
Get outta of there, Raise your cups cuz this is to new adventures

Hold On Pain Ends
Max Vale Dec 2017
Darkness is the absence of light,
Defeat is the absence of pride.
Chaos is the absence of right,
Insanity is the absence of mind.

There will always be a battlefield,
Full of chaos and lies.
Don't be afraid,
A hero will rise.

The hero is abstract,
It can't really be seen.
But the hero can be felt,
And provides a shoulder to lean.

The hero has a sword,
And from the ashes it will ascend.
Stronger than any lord,
All pain will end.

We all take little things for granted,
But they mean the most to us.
A blade of emotion,
Strikes harder than one of steel.

God gave us a gift,
And from the  heavens it will descend.
The greatest gift of all tells us,
**Hold On All Pain Will End.
The hero is called Hope :) Hence the title :P
