Distant Lullaby
Philip Smith Apr 2016
If you close your eyes and sleep
I will meet you in your dreams
Not a whisper or a peep
You mean so much to me

So rest your tired head
Dream of angels near your bed
Dream of places that we'll go and see
Together you and me

So close your eyes and sleep
I will meet in your dreams
The miles apart cant mess with our hearts
Love is an inspiring thing.
Originally intended to be a song, but writers block decided it will be a poem

Cyclical Love
Philip Smith Nov 2014
Day to night
Then day again,
My love for you
Will never end.

The days are bright
And full of cheer,
I'll love you close
And keep you near.

And when the daylight
Turns to night,
I vow to always
Hold you tight.

I am yours
And you are mine,
In the stars
It shows the sign.

When morning breaks
Across the land,
You and I
stay hand in hand.

And once again
The cycle starts,
My love for you
beats in my heart.

Love Is Blind
Philip Smith Nov 2014
Waiting waiting waiting for
Her to say my name
The day goes by and here I am
Waiting still the same

Waiting waiting waiting for
Him to call me back
The day goes by and so I cry
Waiting in the black

Waiting waiting waiting for
you to love me too
waiting waiting waiting for
the day I will have you.

A Full Cup and A Lid
Philip Smith Nov 2014
Life is a full cup of craziness
The answer is never to just empty out the contents of the cup.

Just take the lid and Shut the Full-Cup

P.s. Here's a straw for all those people that **** in this cup of craziness.
Just in case it went over your head, Say, "Shut the Full-Cup" really fast.

Inspired by youtube's 'Nigahiga'

Randomness
Philip Smith Nov 2014
When I see the word random
I always think of a potato.
But how random is it really if that's always the case?

Starting today when I see the word random
I will think of a potato
Clearly I am sleep deprived. I like this place though ;)

Water Breakup
Philip Smith Nov 2014
Dear Water,

     I have found another drink my love. It's not you it's me. I just need some space for awhile. Lately I have been craving other drinks. Flavored drinks... I know fruit punch and lemonade are not the healthiest of choices, but I can't get them out of my head. At first it was just a sip, but one thing led to another and a sip turned into a gulp and a gulp into a 32oz cup.

You will always be my first and I will always remember you and use you as a means to judge my future beverages. After-all I carry with me 70% of you everywhere I go.
Cheating is wrong. If you want someone else end what you are currently involved in first. :) And drink lots of water

Simplicity
Philip Smith Nov 2014
I live a simple life
No adventure for me
I live a simple life
No stress all carefree

He lives a wild life
Full of danger and doubt
He lives a wild life
Full of gun fire and shouts

I lived a simple life
And I died with regrets
He lived a wild life
And died a hero, a vet

Roller Coaster Love
Philip Smith Nov 2014
We wait in line
We pretend to be brave
We start to climb
We dread the fall
We see the loop
We close our eyes
And then its over

The Aloof
Philip Smith Nov 2014
Distant, Detached, Unfriendly, Unapproachable, Unsympathetic, Withdrawn, Antisocial....

I keep my distance for fear of being hurt by those I let my walls down for.

I am detached from worldly possessions because they cause pain when lost.

I am unfriendly due to my inability to smile through the bad times.

I am unapproachable to those with judging eyes.

I am unsympathetic to those that have their needs met.

I am withdrawn so that no one can see my past.

I am antisocial due to my observant nature

I am aloof

Family War
Philip Smith Nov 2014
I am from anger and rage
From dawn until dusk
I am from sadness and sorrow
As if life weren't enough
I am from quarrels
Day after day
I am from them
And all of their pain

I am from watching
The schemes and the plans
Too young to understand
What was slightly out of hand

I am from sitting there
Unaware of this war
If that's not enough
Don't fret cause there's more

I am from court
knocking on my door
My parent's separation
At the mere age of four

Whisper
Philip Smith Nov 2014
As the sun eliminates the darkness, fear consumes me. The light of day brings forth all I have concealed. Without the night I am alone and vulnerable in a world that I do not understand. As the day drags on I hop from shadow to shadow trying desperately to avoid this strange world. As the sun reaches its peak I have nowhere left to hide. Whisper becomes my skin as the sun brings light onto a world that I had once belonged to. My shield to keep me safe from the world that nearly destroyed me. I am merely a puppet master in these times. Controlling Whisper by pulling strings above the waiting crowd. The few that look up may see me, but only one has ever watched the shows entirety, head tilted up. As the show goes on I lose my control over Whisper, distracted by the set of eyes on me. I am vulnerable and afraid.

— The End —
