Emotions
Run down my eyes to my face
I could not speak
To never ever replace
I was trapped
In time and space
I was forever lonely
Fallen from my grace
The truth is hard but clearly
I had cracked the case
Flying high above me as I cry
A bird circled as if to place
I heard nothing that day no sounds in my head
Silent raindrops fell for me to taste
No surprises any more just ghosts in the night I chase
Emotional turmoil

Peace cannot be described.

I am floating on a lake
While flowers surround me
My head is lucid give or take
Touching nature and living to just be
I'm enclosed all around by black and grey mountains that start to suffocate
All the people walking around noises distract inside I don't want company
Then I go beneath the water and all is calm nothing can implicate
I see a light deep down in the water so I swam towards feeling ever so free
Now I'm too deep to reach the air I need to breathe but somehow I don't need or want or wake to ever see the flowers that surrounded me on the lake
I am with the people I can understand and every day we hold hands and sing happy songs and play silly games underneath the lake to which I am glad I came strangely.
Peace, within outside

I can't help what I see
I have seen death and disease
I have seen hunger and greed
I have seen animals shot for no other reason that they breathe
I have seen wood cutters and falling down trees
I have seen mountains rise out of the ground and clouds below the highest degree
I have seen babies born and my mind prayers for them to see clearly
Everyone has a purpose but I am chained to my past and no one has the key
I wish I could end this poem without thinking of how better life could be
I lost hope and faith in humanity now all I see I don't want to except me........except me

Green dream .


It's all about you little child smiling with glee
It's all about me being bold and playing the drum out loud
Why can't we see why can't we see
We live on the ground and we wear shoes to move us around
We go to places that we've never seen and at night we might dream yes we might dream of where we have been
You know what you've seen
You know where you have been
But in your mind it's not how it seemed in your dream
It's all about you and what did it mean
It's all about me and my eyes are attracted to green attracted to green attracted to green.

The extraction of truth


There are always some truth you can extract from a lie
There is always someone following you with a beady little eye
Be carefull what you wish for because it may come true and all existence will crumble and all is left and we wonder why
A man walking alone with his thoughts is wise but to share them with others maybe taken the wrong way to be paid with lives
The worlds mistake is that no one is listening and the man speaking has no conviction in truth but justice is written to convince we are all civilised.
Time, truth, justice

The room

If silence has a place then it must be a room
No bigger than you would expect or smaller with a sense of gloom
Not that silence portrays misery just that if meant in time purgatory could scoop out the evil with a large dessert spoon
Contemplation is said to be good for the soul then why hasn't anyone in thousands of years ever transcended to a higher level of understanding the universe or are we reaching for the stars too soon
Maybe within ourselves we know why we draw rivers with ripples of the almighty vision the moon
The science fiction movies made to take us places that we can never reach or see because we are born of a monkey and that is innate sealing our doom
The whole of the Earth exploding until silence and a gloom that shatters the moon then total doom but you will always have the room

Invention

The Eagle soars above in the light blue skies
I am tied to the floor by gravity but imagination allows my mind clemency to disguise
What fine intelligence is capable of anything that can encapsulate an idea so large and yet so simply wise
Nature is the answer to all dreams and a place that can **** you with billions of spies
Nature nurtured us till the animal became a human and now all I see are humans with an animal instinct but the instinct is leaving us till the animal dies
