My bedroom window
My T.V of life
As I bid goodbye to another day
I watch the sun slowly creep lower in the sky
Leaves twirl in the wind as they rise and fall
Two blackbirds are locked in a harmony of song
And they dance around each other
Writing a story in the snow as they go
I see the smoke rise in the sky from the neighbour's chimney
And the chuckles of uniformed school kids
Eager to make the most of the day's remaining freedom
As I scan every detail indulging my eyes
I slowly fall deeper in love with life

To love with every inch of your being,
is to be entirely vulnerable to the world

I don’t expect much from life,
A cosy house would do,
Some good friends to fill it with,
Maybe a glass of wine or two,

I don’t ask for money or fame,
Happiness is all I need,
A healthy perspective with a day of laughs,
Humbleness to fight the greed,

I don’t even need a fancy car,
Something with character would be nice,
Perhaps I’ll buy a dusty old van,
That I can do up and customize,

I really don’t want to live in the hills,
Or in uptown Malibu,
Just somewhere where I can see the water,
Maybe a day of sunshine or two

My music,
Is a desperate call,
In a world that's death to my words

Do you know tiredness like this?
A neck paralysed by the bouldering weight of the tormented day,
An equilibrium formed upon the belief,
That you have truly scaled the unforgiving walls of hell's cage,
And shared a meal with the devil himself,
A mistrusted silence that is desperately grasped,
In ignorant hope of momentary relief from the day,
An angry storm forming above your fluttering sails,
The only victory in hand,
Is that its grey clouds are familiar to your sky

Regression,
Is in my life a constant fallout of progression,
I face the wind with every step I take,
Yet it is with me for every two steps back,
But that's alright,
Because the days where I make it forward,
I'm standing on the top of the ******* world
Nicholas Feb 2018
You
I just sat there,
I just sat there watching while you fell deeper into his arms,
And there's no excuse,
But I'm sorry
