so now she's gone,
up up and away.
my head was down on earth,
but my heart was in the milky way.

Millions of years before the flowers bloomed,
Above the Earth a dark sky loomed.
The clouds it bears weeps it tears so loud,
And sends hundreds of raindrops towards the ground
The raindrops fall onto the mound
Where they grow into flowers, strong and proud.
So although no flower look like another,
They all came from the sky their loving mother.
Max Vale Sep 2017
Hey Mom,
Don't cry.
I'm coming home.
Thanks for all the good times,
The little moments.
The big ones.
The little dreams,
That became big ones.
I'm not a little boy anymore,
But i ain't ever growing up.
I'm proud to be your little boy
And your little boy is coming home
:)

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 :)

My name is Kunte Kinte,
I've come from lands far away.
I was taken hostage and prisoner,
And forced to be a slave.

Those people took away my name,
And gave me another instead.
My name is now Toby,
And thus Toby I became.

Few weeks past,
I ran away.
I was caught and whipped,
And forced to work again.

I ran away again,
I was caught again too.
This time they also,
Cut off my right foot.

I married a lady named Bell,
Who was black and a slave like me,
We had a little daughter,
Whom I loved and named Kizzy.

I died of a broken heart,
When my wife was bought and sold.
I now lay in a grave,
My story forgotten and in everlasting cold.
After you watch Roots......

I am the unnoticed,
The lone wolf who roams the streets.
I am the unpredictable,
Yet people find me discreet.
Max Vale Feb 2017
Like lightning never strikes the same spot twice,
Like two stories are never the same.
Be who you are,
Don't be ashamed.
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
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.
Max Vale Dec 2016
Why does no-one notice me?
Its not like I'm not here.
They don't stop and say hello,
They just walk right through me.
Why am I never noticed?
Why does no-one care?
I've always been alone,
Since the day I was born.
Max Vale Jul 2020
Maybe I'll be better off with you,
Maybe then I'll be free.
But living life without you,
Is no good to me.
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 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
Max Vale Feb 2021
So let's run away together,
Ready, set, on your mark,
With you by my side forever,
I'm no longer afraid of the dark.
Max Vale Apr 2021
I'm not alone.
The wind still laughs with me.
The sun still smiles at me.
The ocean still waves back at me.

The wind's laughing at me.
The sun's smiling not because of me.
The ocean is not waving at me.
I am alone.
The world's a cruel place
Sometimes even when you're with others you still feel alone.
Max Vale Apr 2021
We grew up on the same street,
We blew dandelions into the sky.
We chucked shells into the blue sea,
Wondering what it would be like.

To grow older.

I came back to the same street,
It's not the same without you.
I can still hear the sound of your feet,
I can hear mine too.

Wish we didn't have to grow older.
Max Vale Sep 2017
Forgotten once,
Forgotten twice,
No ones gonna remember you,
Thrice.
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!
Max Vale Oct 2019
When she's gone,
She'll be on her way.
And like my dreams,
She'll slowly fade away.

away...away...away
Max Vale Jun 2020
My mind has been lost,
In translation.
Wish I could go back,
To where I met you on vacation.
Miss you Airport girl, its been a year
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.

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

An ocean of dreams,
Is a perfect choir.
Hope bursting out the seams,
Filled with glorious desire.
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.
Max Vale Feb 2017
Forever still,
Frozen in time.
In black and white,
To keep those memories fresh and alive.
Max Vale Apr 2020
In hopeless times,
Look for the light.
In pitch black,
It can shine so bright.
Max Vale Aug 2020
All you see is darkness,
Your heart is lost at sea.
Can you hear me begging,
"Please don't leave me"?
Max Vale Jan 2019
We took a Polaroid,
I put it next to my heart.
So no matter where we go,
We'll never be apart.
Max Vale Dec 2016
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.
Max Vale Feb 2017
My teacher said I had a lot of potential,
My friends thought I was hiding talent.
A few years later I soon found out,
That I could have been,
A fearsome dragon,
A blazing phoenix,
A savage shark,
A true leader.
*But I didn't.
Max Vale Aug 2019
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.
Max Vale Jan 2017
I'm always under pressure,
I'm always expected to be great.
I'm always expected to be the leader,
But I'm not the best so don't under-estimate.

Always on
Always doing things
For other people
Because that’s what they want
But what about me?


You don't care about me,
You put pressure on me.
Just because you're free,
It doesn't mean it'll last thee.

You think you know best
Know my limits
But if you push too hard
You’ll soon find
I don’t just snap,
I explode


Pressure is like a dark fog,
It creeps and appears.
It bites like a savage dog,
And disappears.

But even when it’s gone
The bites are infected
Leaving a little pressure in everything you do
******* the joy from the things that used to offer a break
A shadow on the sunniest of days


Years later,
The wounds are the same.
Those scars won't leave me,
And those scars bare shame.
I want to remove them,
But sadly they wont go.
They're too deep,
And my greatest foe.

*Your voice in my head
Echoing my deepest doubts
Scars from your abuse
Running rampant in my head
Adding the pressure
To prove you wrong
This is my first "duet". A massive thank you to Aqua Rose for writing this with me. If you would like to write a poem duet with me please massage me. I would love to.
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,
Max Vale Dec 2016
The rain cloud flys slowly,
Weeping tears as it goes.
Where it's tears land, people rejoice,
As the cloud continues to flow.
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.
Max Vale Aug 2017
Singing rock to the top of our lungs,
With sweet drink on the tip of our tongue.
What we have done its history,
Raise your cups to our victory!

Drowning in bottles of fame,
No embarrassment - no shame.
Here we are in the halls of glory,
Raise your cups to our victory!

Now the big party is screaming our name,
The whole audience is going nuts.
Nothing out there can stand in our way,
So raise your cups to the worlds greatest - us!

I love you Lacy thank you singing this song to me as a kid,
I hope you dont mind the tweeks :)
Max Vale Mar 2019
Baby please take all my love,
You know what you've got to do.
Moments with you I can't get enough,
So meet me at our rendezvous.
Max Vale Feb 2017
Wherever you go I follow,
I'm always right beside you.
So don't worry about tomorrow,
You go first, I'm right behind you.
Max Vale Jan 2017
Gemstones are pretty,
But why do they cost so much?
I know they're lovely,
But aren't they just rocks?
Yeah, Can someone answer my question why are gemstones worth so much money than say, metal?

You came out of nowhere,
When I thought I needed you the most.
Passion and blood both bleed red,
Pull the trigger on the gun against my head.
Are you going to fix me?
Are you going to break me?
Are you going to save me?
Are you going to drown me?
Are you going to love me?
Are you going to **** me?

Loving you like maybe,
Is like playing roulette with a heart.
Max Vale Dec 2019
Please tell me how you feel,
Don't play your running game.
Don't deny its not real,
I know you feel the same.
Max Vale Jan 2017
A golden compass,
A broken mast.
A ruined sail,
A battered hull.
A ***** deck,
Yup the boats a wreck.

The boat is leaking as I sail to the unknown,
The wind blows against my hind.
But no way am I afraid,
As I sail to look and find.
The true me.
I go on a new journey, I've got **** equipment but I don't ******* care.
Max Vale Oct 2020
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
I can't sleep at night,
Because I'm thinking of you.

I know this is bad,
You lost my letter.
But now its gone,
It'll never get better.

So rubies are red,
Sapphires are blue.
Making next time,
I'll end up with you.
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.

There was a girl I know,
With her sea-green eyes.
Who once said to me
"Beware the wolf, for the wolf lies"

"Don't fear the sheep that bleats,
But fear the one that hides
For it may be the wolf hunting,
With its disguise"

"But don't fret for the whispers,
You hear in the light.
For they can't hurt you,
When it is bright"

"The wolf is smart and cunning,
But do not reply.
When he asks you to follow him,
Into paradise"

"But the wolf will fear love,
The wolf will fear right.
For even the darkness,
Won't hide its demise"

"So don't be afraid,
Of the wolves that will just pass by
For you'll find your shelter,
In a love that doesn't lie"

But love, like wolves, can change its form,
And hearts can shift like skies.
Still, I’ll trust her gentle gaze,
Those deep sea-green eyes.

He couldn't just let me go,
He dragged me down with him.
He made sure I lost too,
And now the future looks pretty dim.
~
He looked at me in the eye,
My morale fell,
He grinned and said,
*See you in hell.
Some people never let go.
Max Vale Feb 2019
Will pay everything,
To see you one last time.
But heaven takes nothing,
Not even the biggest bribe.
Its been a while Lacy, I love you
Max Vale Sep 2017
I follow my leader,
Wherever he goes.
If he jumps off a cliff,
Off a cliff I go.
Max Vale May 2017
She said to me hold on tight,
And don't let go.
It was a dark and stormy night,
*And she let go.
Max Vale Feb 2019
She's the song that keeps me alive,
She's the reason why I don't wanna die.
She always warms my heart.
I'm prayin' we'll never be apart.
