some people once said
that you will love me one day
years on i still wait

Alas we cannot always say,
Our final goodbyes.
We cannot wait til' the very last day,
Until then lets see what the future lies.

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.

Hop on your bike,
Lets go outside!
We can throw a ball around,
Or go and buy sweets for a pound.
What are you waiting for,
Sitting around inside.
You're wasting your life!

I met a girl,
by the name of Gracie.
She stole my heart,
but my memory is hazy.
Not sure if she's the one,
that's going to save me.
Still looking for her,
I must be crazy.

Theres a place I long to be,
A place where only I belong.
A place that everyone sees,
But its perfect just for me.
*Home

I am the angel of redemption,
I am the king of the night.
I am a happy sensation,
I am a thief's delight.
I am the work force of the land,
Yet I rule it too.

**Who am I?

A book is my best friend,
It takes me to many places.
And the number I read never ends,
Because books cannot be put down.

From Mountains to Rivers,
Forests to Space,
Fairies to Mummy's Curse,
And Dragons and Haste.
The list I never ends,
Because books are my best friends.

Two pieces of foam,
Hung to my ears.
Eradicates surroundings and makes me feel home,
Brings me music to love and hear.

What Am I?

She said she's scared of love,
I know how this goes.
She wants my heart,
But not my soul.
She loves the lights,
Kiss the afterglow.

She said she's scared of heights,
Call it vertigo.
She builds a wall,
I see cracks below.
She hides her pain,
But her scars they show.

She said she can't commit,
So let's take it slow.
She craves the warmth,
But loves the snow.
She said she is scared of us,
Yet stays where Chicago blows.

You're my thunder,
I'm your lightning.
Together,
We fear nothing.

I know we worked hard to get here,
And now is the time.
To take the glory home from what we have achieved.
And may the church bells chime.
The song of our glory,
The song of hope,
The song of our story,
The song of our legacy.
May our story be forever remembered,
On the 22nd of December.
But we still have a long way to go;
So what are we waiting for?
**Let's GO!

you always seemed to love the sky,
the moon, the sun, the stars.
they all seem to shine a little brighter,
now that you're shining among them.

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.

I tried so hard,
But I couldn't succeed.
But in my heart,
I know I will succeed.

Malefic gunner,
Limits she don't know.
Temperamental runner,
Legendary Hero.

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.

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?

Don't waste your moments,
Don't waste your life,
Don't waste your love,
Don't waste your loyalty,
Don't waste your money,
Don't waste your dreams.
So put your trust in me,
I promise I won't let you down,
*And We'll Be Singing.

Will pay everything,
To see you one last time.
But heaven takes nothing,
Not even the biggest bribe.

So I'll stay young,
I guess I'll be free.
Sitting around drunk whilst,
People are getting their college degrees.

So I'll stay young,
Everybody's finding love.
They've all got homes,
While I'm still sleeping rough.

So I'll stay young,
The years they roll on by.
Everyone has kids,
And a nine to five.

So I'll stay young,
Everybody's getting old.
Weighted blankets,
So they don't get cold.

So I'm still young,
Never got the chance to live.
Why did I choose this,
When I had so much to give?

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.

:)

forgive me for taking a chance.
because i can't forgive myself,
for believing.
still, i hope.

and so i take another shot,
and pretend its all bliss.
pour another round,
until I see your cherry lips.
taste your wine,
and take another trip.
chase the whiskey,
and move those hips.
run all out of liquor,
but she begins to strip.
empty my gin its alright,
i begin to lose my grip
one more bottle,
but she begins to slip,
three more shots,
and my mind is eclipsed.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I don't wanna fall asleep,
I don't wanna shut my eyes.
Because every time I close them,
All I think about is lies.
The promises you made,
You said you loved me too.
But now you're gone our memories will fade,
Like all the love I had for you.
But I want to fall into bed,
After a very long day.
I want to feel your touch again,
Saying it'll all be OK.
Now I'm sad you're gone,
You never said goodbye.
And like all my dreams,
They'll surely fade and die.
But now we're done,
I hope you'll finally see.
There was no need to run,
I'm sorry you lost me.

I've got nothing,
I've got no money.
The only good thing is,
I can't lose anythin'.

you were always there
steady, reliable
tick-tock-tick-tock
stood there for years
never missed a beat
but you're getting older
the wood is beginning to wear
the pendulum is slowing
yet you're still going
the memories begin to fade
you still tick
but you can't remember my name.

we always talked
about how far we could go
we always said
that no matter what
we'll make it together
but yet
the universe isn't kind
so whilst i went on
you were stuck behind
so now i've made it
but you're not here
i'm dancing in the sky
whilst you're struggling to fly.

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.

Life is a peach,
On these streets of California.
When you hit the beach,
I'll be sure to be waiting for ya.

Been waiting for a long time,
Ever since I started to dare,
To dream that I'd be fine.
Waiting for you like a prayer.

sometimes,
when i'm lonely,
i think about,
her.

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

There's a mad man on the touchline,
Yelling at us 24/7.
He's always trying to release,
That extra 10%.

Bone dry ice,
Ocean's daughter.
No other paradise,
Like deep cold water,

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.

Saw it in the distance,
Maybe I'll get it someday.
A light, a hope,  a dream.
So close but so far away

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?

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.

We don't talk anymore,
I've known you since we're kids.
Without you I don't know where to go,
Or how to survive on my own.
