Sugar
Max Vale Mar 2017
Sugar?

Yes Please!
Why won't you let me have any?

Curse you, Mom and Dad!
Gosh, you guys make me mad!
*
Without sugar, I cannot thrive,
If I cannot thrive, I cannot survive.

Bring Me Winter
Max Vale Sep 2024
As the days get shorter,
The autumn takes our leaves away.
As the night grows longer,
The winter comes to stay.
The skies they go grey,
Streaked by purple, red and orange.
The sun bows and says its goodbye,
“Glory, Glory, Glory”,
Echoes into the darkness.
But with the cold comes purpose,
Let the fields sleep for a while.
Look up my love,
It’s snowing!

Stormy Waves
Max Vale Jul 2018
The storm is coming,
You can run but cannot hide.
You better start running,
Cuz this is a wave you cannot ride.

Blonde Hair
Max Vale Oct 2020
She's got that blonde hair,
Deep blue eyes.
It's like looking at,
Paradise.
If you ever see this, I like you

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.

Frost
Max Vale Mar 2017
I creep in the night,
You find me in the morning,
I make your mother angry,
Because I delay your schooling.

She Said To Me

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

New Day
Max Vale Aug 2017
Long gone you are,
Just another world away.
Flying with the stars,
Towards to a brand new day.
Farewell Aubrey, I will always love you. Rest In Peace

If I Fall...
Max Vale Feb 2017
If I fall of a cliff,
Will I ever reach the bottom alive?
If I drown in the ocean,
Will I ever breathe again?
If I die,
Will I make it to heaven?

Not Into Guys
Max Vale Jan 2021
Oh god knows why
        I've been hypnotised
              By those eyes,
                     They're so bright
But I'm afraid -
She's not into guys

Raindrops
Max Vale Feb 2018
They told us we were weak,
Useless, ****.
We were awful and meek,
That was should give up and quit.

But no,
Alone we are raindrops.
Fragile, small,
Together we are an ocean,
Strong, proud.

So don't listen to those,
Who all they do is swear and spit.
Together let us walk forward,
And refuse to ever quit.

Cold
Max Vale Oct 2019
Its a lonely night,
I've got nobody to hold.
Pretending I'm alright,
When really I'm just cold.

Taking Off
Max Vale Jun 2020
And so we dispersed,
Lost her face in the crowd,
Boarding a plane,
She's taking off the ground.

Now she's in her seat,
Do you think of me?
I know I do,
Those beautiful eyes of blue.

The sun's come up,
It's another new day.
Up in the clouds,
She's slowly flying away.

Touching down,
We're back home.
Isn't it weird?
I've left my heart in Rome.

But we have to move on,
It's part of life.
Yet I still long to see,
Your face against mine.

Wherever we go,
We're under the same sky.
Hope we meet again,
Before we have to die.
A year ago I met the most beautiful at an airport on vacation. Probably the greatest holiday I've ever been on. I wish I could see you again, airport girl. Thank you for the best days of my life.

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 :)

If I Could Be Anything
Max Vale Dec 2017
I know it's going to be a long day,
So i brought my ukulele.
Let me sing you a song,
One of beauty and glee.

If I could be anything,
You asked me.
If you could whatever,
What would you be?

Baby I'll be your blanket at night,
I'll keep you warm till the morning light.
Baby I'll be your novella,
Your beloved Cinderella.

Baby I'll be your boat,
Struggling just to keep you afloat.
Baby I'll be your muse,
When you've got those blues.

Baby I'll be those fireflies,
And all those butterflies.
Baby I'll do anything,
To give you everything.

Here's To Adventure
Max Vale Dec 2017
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

Scars, Battles and Victory
Max Vale Mar 2017
My skin is covered in scars,
From the battles I've lost and won.
My mind likes to drift afar,
From the ruined futures I've been beholden.
My brain likes to break,
From the endless rounds of torture.
My soul likes to abandon me,
In hopes of finding a new home.

Phoenix
Max Vale Apr 2021
A new dawn arrives,
In a blistering red heat.
A small flame
Becomes a bonfire.
But alas it won't last
Forever.
Fade into ashes and smoke.
Even brilliance
Becomes dust.
But tomorrow when
The moon sets.
The phoenix will rise.

Every day like a phoenix we are reborn into a new beginning. We only have 24 hours to do something. But even the things we build are temporary and will fade into dust. But tomorrow the ashes from today gives birth to a new phoenix.

Wishing To Be Free
Max Vale Mar 2019
It's a path we walk,
Whenever we feel alone.
When we don't want to talk,
But just want to go home.

When it rains,
It rains on me.
The wind pains,
It hurts to be me.

I hate the cold,
Yet it loves me.
It always loves to hold,
Tight, surrounding me.

I wish I was better,
That I didn't have to be me.
My life's so bitter,
I wish that I was free.
Its a cold world out there

Left & Right
Max Vale Jan 2017

Winter Is Here
Max Vale Mar 2018
When the rain comes,
And the oceans turns.
The flood decides to run,
And the hurricane burns.

The snowstorms hit,
The cold bites harsh.
The terrain submits,
To the frost that always leave last.

Surviving hot coals,
Perish under the onslaught.
From when the snow falls,
No life is untouched by the assault.

Upon this white hot snow,
The terrain buried under a blanket.
Across these fields we go,
of this unrecognizable planet.

Alas my hands are freezing,
The cold has infected the air.
No warmth is displeasing,
Oh look winter's here.

Never The Same

Again
Max Vale Nov 2019
You know she's gonna break your heart,
You know she's gonna love you and leave you again.
You know she's gonna take you apart,
So why did you fall for it again?
*
You know he gave you his heart,
You know you're just gonna leave him again.
You know you're going break him apart,
So why did you leave him again?

Take a Second & Stay
Max Vale May 2019
On the brink,
Of the morning.
If it's too cold,
Let me know.
Even the sky moans,
When it wants to be left alone.

Going so far away,
Like you're not coming back.
Like a rising cloud,
Don't forget you cry.
Like a black thorn rose,
Her beauty shows.

Riding along,
Towards sunset.
Pass the cliff,
Of no return.
Down towards the beach,
She's just out of reach.

Tides coming in,
Moon begins to rise.
White sail at sea,
Following the sun.
When you go everything turns to grey,
Don't leave me take a second and stay.

Arrow From Above

You know I've been,
Waiting for your love.
I've been struck by,
Eros' arrow from above.

Why you gotta be so beautiful?
There's a sparkle in your eye.
Like a diamond in the sky,
You make me feel so alive.

Gaia
Max Vale Mar 20
i can hear the thunder,
dance upon the darkened sky.
i can see the lightning,
kissing the horizon.
i can feel the fire,
burning in the sun.
i can feel the storm,
shifting through the wind.
so i dare you, king of the sky.
throw me onto the rolling tide.
salty rain splatter my tongue,
do i fear, Gaia's pride?

Thank You Twice
Max Vale Feb 2024
The love of my life once said to me.
"When will you meet me by the sea?"
Her hair golden and Her eyes blue of ice
As if she hasn't got a twinkle in her eye,
Forget me once, maybe I'll thank you twice.
And we will dance together, under the great blue sky.

Angel of the North
Max Vale Dec 2024
she stood over the water,
on the cliff of no despair,
wings folded,
relaxed like she doesn't care.
but she does.
the sky is torn,
she bows her head,
the crown is worn.
legend says,
that you can fly.
only the believers,
will risk to die.
the wind whispers
into her ears.
the sun warms
all her fears.
reluctantly her hands fold,
into a prayer.
how ironic, she thinks
even angels dare
to have hope.
So, let fate come forth,
under the winter night.
alas, angel of the north
bring me your light.
