Whispers.
Peter Cullen May 2015
She whispered in the morning sun,
about the night that went before.
And every word that left her lips
lingered, within all that's pure.
She paused and settled,
with the chorus,
with the dawning of the day,
She whispered softly on the ear,
yet she had so much to say,
Her mind and soul an army,
tempered by the kings of light,
She whispered to a broken troop,
told him there's no need to fight.
The battle, it is over,
like the darkness falls to morn.
She rests upon his shoulder,
Nests upon a love that's born.

Silent Echoes.
Peter Cullen Oct 2014
Silent echoes in the air,
with every word that isn't shared.
Those words that hide, within your heart,
the ones that make you fall apart.
The sorrows that you once leaned on,
thank the Lord, for now there gone
There's sparrows singing, within my soul
as everything learns how to grow.

The magic of child's sweet smile,
the innocence within.
The light that they bring to our world
without a sin to sing.
Their reason and their wonder,
should never be ignored.
Lighting before the thunder,
rainbows as it pours.

One Of Many.
Peter Cullen Sep 2014
Someday we will be strong enough,
to right the wrongs that we made wrong.
Someday we will be whole again,
with all the birds and all their songs.

Those evanescent visions ,
that seem to seep through all thats done,
waiting like a blade of corn,
reaching, leaning to the Sun.

The light, long there before our breath,
before the things that we regret.
Shining then and shining now
shining before we knew how.

How to deal with right or wrong?,
sitting underneath that Sun.
One of many,
our Sun  it shines!,
as we all try to define.
One of many,
let it burn!
Cosmically,
as we all learn.
Peter Cullen Apr 2014
A sweet whisper in my ear
melts away the ice
the silly fears.
Melt me with that whisper in my ear.
That sweet song that we sing
thaws the winters cold
it brings the spring.
Bring that sweet song, softly to my ear.
The way we dance
its chips away
the barriers that we both made
Baby can we dance the night away?
Underneath the street lights
with grace and hope
a world of dreams.
Baby will you hold me as we sway?
Baby can we dance the night away?

Rising
Peter Cullen Apr 2015
The light that gives sight to our eyes.
With every morning sun will rise.
Rise and fall,
above our heads.
Burning like the toasted bread.
The burning fire in the heart,
the one that warms us in the dark.
The flame that weather's every gale,
the gentle waves as we set sail.
The voyage that is there to seek,
is hard to find throughout the week.
Yet know that it is always waiting,
watching, heart and mind debating.
Waiting for the sun to shine,
rising deep within your mind.

The Place
Peter Cullen Apr 2014
There was a place he would go
to be on his own,
to filter the light,
to learn and to grow.

A place where it stopped,
where no boats would rock,
where time is not measured,
no need for a clock.

As long as it took
would he sit and he'd wait
among all the silence,
awaiting his faith.

In search of some answers,
in search of some hope,
he grew and he found,
a new way to cope.

Despite all the madness.
and **** all the pain.
Once he is there.
His place will remain.

Time.
Peter Cullen Aug 2014
Time, who knows where it goes?,

What lies in the midst of yesterday?

Maybe tomorrow is today on some unparallel plain,

reliving all the things we did yesterday - today.

What do we get out of time?, and

do you make it all worthwhile?,

do we use it wisely?

For once a moment is used,

it is used and gone forever.

Or is it?

Maybe on this plain at least.

Lost.
Peter Cullen Mar 2014
The walls lie broken on the ground;
concrete,mortar,dreams, lie strewn around.
Bricks once laid with humble hands,
return to dust
in the promised land.
Amongst the rubble children play,
drones up high, pass and survey.
I wonder if they see those dreams.
Lost a midst the view they see.
Lost a midst the view they see.

Every Smile
Peter Cullen Oct 2014
Minutes, graced by hours,
graced by days, graced by all the years.
With every single breath you take,
the happiness,
and all those fears.
Every moment for a reason,
each one to their own.
Every smile that isn't forced
is something, something you can own.
Every smile that isn't forced,
projects those feelings
that you own.

Old grey stones.
Peter Cullen Aug 2014
Sitting still with twilight
high above the Celtic Sea.
Not a soul to stir my thoughts,
each one on its own with me.
Sitting by the old grey stones,
among the lost forgotten graves.
Not a soul to stir my thoughts,
gazing down upon the waves.
Each one replaces the one before,
new life making old life's passing,
easier as you mourn
New life makes old life's passing,
easier when it's sore

The Kiss.
Peter Cullen Mar 2014
When all around us, cities burned.
Great kingdoms fell,
with no one spared.
All that I could think of was your kiss.
Amongst the crumbled walls and streets
the places lovers used to meet.
That's the only thing I think I'll miss.
Dark days now full of dread and fear,
broken hearts and swollen tears,
but all that I can think of was that kiss.
Amongst the rivers that ran dry
the few souls left, who sit and cry.
That's the only thing I think I'll miss.

Search.
Peter Cullen May 2014
Be thankful for your Gut!
and all that it may choose to say.
The water that flows through you,
watch it, as it gently sways.
Watch the stars,
the stars above,
for everyone is full of love.
Watch your words
and watch your thoughts
be careful of the friends you bought.
See somethings come without a price,
these things are the joys of life.
A childs smile in the morning light.
A loving hand to hold at night.
Clasp it tight and clasp it true,
these are the hands that pull you through.
Search for those hands to pull you through.

The Ticket.
Peter Cullen Aug 2014
There’s sometimes resonance
in words and sounds that linger.
That carry an energy, so deep, that never sleeps.
Thoughts that never try to turn asunder,
are thoughts, you wish would vanish in the wind.
Heading west to find a destination,
a ticket to some long forgotten town.
A life, that led you to this desperation,
is the only life that’s gonna drag you down.

Up There in the Sky
Peter Cullen Mar 2014
He lay there with a guilt,
that no child should fear,
for he couldn't remember her face.
He sat with his wishes
his thoughts and his fears,
suffering feelings, that no child should feel.
The warmth from her smile,
that loving embrace,
that left him that day, that went to that place.
The place they had told him
where sleeping souls lie.
That place he now hates.
Up there in the sky.

— The End —
