Didn't mean to call you this time,
Maybe I was throwing a lifeline.
Could we have worked a second time,
Or am I dreaming in my mind?
Max Vale Feb 2017
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!
Dont waste your life you couch potatoes out there.
Max Vale Jan 2017
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?
Max Vale Nov 2017
Banished to an island,
Of desertion and isolation.
Running form the wolves,
Of fear and alienation.

The ghosts still haunt me,
The lions still hunt me.
All in hope that I lose,
Then hell breaks loose.

Broken, hurt
Destroyed.
Hopeless, lost,
Terrified

I'm on my own on this island,
I've got loads of things to fear.
But I will always look to the future,
For the light that shines is always here.
Stay strong
Max Vale Sep 2017
Little do you know,
In the middle of the night.
When demons come from below,
And the moon begins to shine.
The stars glow,
Husky wind blows,
Dreams begin unfold, untangle and play,
The Orchestra plays till the light of the next day.
The sun rises,
Night Critters hide,
Dreams are blown,
Where they'll go nobody knows,
And all this happens in the middle of the night,
The little critters that have danced and entertained,
Now the morning is light,
The critters crawl away.
Max Vale Aug 2020
Here I am on the other side,
Staring into the looking-glass.
Where I left my heart behind,
Wishing I could have it back.
Max Vale May 2017
I was a ****** friend,
I made you cry.
And yet you still came after me,
Every day till you couldn't take it no more.

I am sorry for being a *******,
I hope you find better friends.
You deserve em.
I'm sorry
Max Vale Mar 2017
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.
Max Vale Jan 2017
Just to let you know,
Love is not alone.
There's someone out there for you,
That really loves you too.
Max Vale Feb 21
wake up, tell me
does the sky look pretty?
step off, outside,
does the sun shine radiantly?
look around, listen,
do the birds sing beautifully?
if you ask me, i'd say,
that it all looks lovely.

You're not always what people think you are,
You're not always what you think you are.
But time will take you to different places,
And the world will untie like your laces.

But you can keep tying yourself together,
Hold on to yourself.
One man with the correct attitude,
Can move a whole mountain of solitude.

Yes, You will always fall,
Yes, You might fail.
Yes, You might be rejected,
But who knows, maybe you'll prevail.

It takes one step,
For the whole world to change.
So keep in good health,
And keep loving yourself
Max Vale Dec 2016
Life is a story never ending,
Our time on Earth is short ,
Vent your dreams into sending,
E**arth a happy gift of support.
Max Vale Feb 2017
Dig a hole in the ground,
Hey ** what have you found?
Tis a bucketful of gold you say,
Say what a lucky mound.
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 Oct 2021
Oh darling do you know what that's worth?
It's a shame we're a match made in heaven,
But we were on Earth.
Max Vale May 2019
Maybe I'll feel sorrow,
Maybe it'll be OK.
Maybe when I wake up tomorrow,
I won't feel this way.
Max Vale Nov 2021
so now she's gone,
up up and away.
my head was down on earth,
but my heart was in the milky way.
Max Vale Dec 2016
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......
Max Vale Sep 2017
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.
Max Vale Apr 2019
Life is a peach,
On these streets of California.
When you hit the beach,
I'll be sure to be waiting for ya.

Max Vale Dec 2019
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 Dec 2024
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
show me the face of the devil.
but when i look in the reflection,
its not devil, but me
and i'm smiling.
what have i done?
i can pray for -
the ******, the fallen,
the lost, the begotten.
what else is one supposed to do?
when every time they pray to God,
he remains silent,
but only the devil answers?
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.
