A Storm
Robert Fox Nov 2016
Rolling thunder from its waves
Crashing lightning upon its shores
A ship battered forever in the sea
This is all the chaos and contradiction
A storm left raging deep inside me
Mar 2015 · 952
im billowing
Robert Fox Mar 2015
Its a feeling deep inside
Its a whisper on the air
Its a stirring in the branches
That life, is about to care

Like a rushing wind
And chiming bell
The trees are yelling
And the clouds are billowing

It comes like a storm
And shines like the moon
It will strike fast as lightning
With a voice soft as thunder

It blinds your eyes
But you can't look away
Its shining like sunbeams
This happiness inside

whats next?
Robert Fox Mar 2015
There is a change
A life that waxs and wanes
It happens when you least expect
And you never know what's next
Its like a dream
And hits like a solid moonbeam
It'll turn you around
And sing the purest sound
So keep your faith
Never stop giving grace
Because you never know what's next

its a cliché
Robert Fox Mar 2015
Everyone seems not to be alone
Everyones tounge has an ear

Its a cliché old tale,
Alone in a room filled with the pale

But I see others in my place
And I fear we're a different race

We see the happiness and life
but then why do we only feel strife?

I think we don't really know
how to stand on our own and go

To leave and never look again
at the faces that aren't in pain

i dont really care
Robert Fox Mar 2015
I'm not sure
If I know
What you
Always mean

I'm not sure
If I like
What I
I always say

But I don't
Need to care
Because you
Are never there

Not be Always
Robert Fox Feb 2015
These words I hear
Whispered in my ear
*"I will always hold you dear,
Though i'll not be always near."

ATLAS
Robert Fox Feb 2015
Looking inward I see out
into blackness into doubt
A deep dark that screams
it rips apart my life at the seams
A lack of surety stoops me low
like a burden no one else knows
But I will stand up straight and tall
I will not falter or fall
for I hold the sky above you all

Youth to Last
Robert Fox Feb 2015
Blood runs down my arm
Then down my chest
But does no harm.

I've failed to last
I've broken down
I've been swallowed by my past

This just shows the truth
They got it right
I am no match for my youth

friend
Robert Fox Feb 2015
I only smoke when I'm stressed,
So basically all the time.

But I'll never outrun these demons
As long as the dead are on my mind.

Yet somehow its too much to ask of anyone,
If they'll just be a friend of mine.

We don't Know
Robert Fox Jan 2015
Did you know
That beauty demands to be seen?

At least...I believe it does

I think
that all the greatest beauty,
comes from broken beaten people

I believe the breakers and the beaters are afraid.
I believe they see the beauty in us
before anyone else ever does,

And they get so terrified
of being lost in others light

So they beat them down.
Beat Us down

Those people who called you ugly
the people who called me *****

they saw the beauty inside us
and they were afraid

But lets be brave
Lets not return the favor
Our only savior

Is to be better than them
Is to show them that we,
will use the beauty inside us,
to shine a light on them
This is pretty terrible
but whatever
needed to say it

My Heart
Robert Fox Jan 2015
There is a place
where no one goes
Where darkness is your friend

Where birds and bees,
and other thieves
Can never steal your heart

Now i don't know
just where ya been
Or where your goin to.

But i don't care,
as long as I
Get to go there too

The trees they laugh,
the clouds they cry
And all the others inbetween,

just sit and stare
at no one there,
at all the empty dreams

Wolves howl at night
But They've lost their fright
To all we say and do

And it makes me sad
When you are glad
That we don't care no more

test the air
Robert Fox Oct 2014
Learn to be wrong
and you'll grow strong

I don't regret the things that I've done
I don't regret having fun

We all make mistakes
We all have heartaches

You will always have done something wrong
Waiting will always take too long
So do what makes you strong

Take the leap test the air
Or you never will know what's really out there
Oct 2014 · 476
Alejandro
Robert Fox Oct 2014
We never had enough time
to romp and stomp and chyme

through fields and glades
like jolly little milk maids

but we still got lost in the by and by.
We waded through the sky
and chanced upon our first lie.

That we would live forever
that we could grow old together

but it will never be better than now.

But those were the days
When we lived in a happy haze.

Life was a dream
A melancholy scheme

to send us to the depths of sadness

to the depths of cold
where we will truly grow old
alone but bold
for truly we lived a life of gold.

only in the dark
Robert Fox Oct 2014
Don't waste a minute of the silence in the darkness

Never will you feel so alive as in the blackness

For when the tears come flowing through the sadness

Only in the dark can you fight off the madness
Oct 2014 · 455
If I lived Alone
Robert Fox Oct 2014
If I lived the life I chose
I'd be alone all the time

But if I lived alone and sad
You never could be mine

So I will live among the mass
Of people looking in thru the glass

Looking at my life, my choices
Always chiming in with their voices

Full Moon
Robert Fox Oct 2014
Silvery white shines the moon tonight

As it peaks out and beams,

I think maybe I see

A little sad smile,

just the slightest of smirks

Two crinkled eyes,

on a face that would make you cry

Its the full moon,

That makes the night feel like my day

We are human, so we burn
Robert Fox Sep 2014
What do we do when there is so much bad?
(Slavery, abuse, lies, ******)
We know so much more than long ago
(Intelligent animals, cures for cancer, names of the stars)
Yet we have simply renamed our sins
(killing, hatred, hurting)
We say we don't do what the past has done

But in the end, we are the past
                                 and present
                                   and future
Its a cycle we cannot break
a lesson we cannot learn
These are the mistakes we will always make
We are human and will always burn the gifts that are given
and the lives that are at stake.

Better Together
Robert Fox Sep 2014
I'm not sure when I realized it
Or even what "it" really is
But I know deep down inside
You will always be a part of me
And I don't know if that's all it's cracked up to be
Still, I really hope that it is better
That we stay *together

Life and Lies
Robert Fox Aug 2014
Beauty demands to be seen
Love demands to be sought after
Life demands to be lived
Pain demands to be felt
and Death demands to be dealt with

But beauty needs to be shown
love needs to be given
life needs an example
pain needs to be parted with
and death needs no logic

To the Moon
Robert Fox Jul 2014
We can dream the greatest dreams
never before seen
forever more seen

When we lay down to sleep
the things we will see
are the things we can make
the things we fight not to break

I have a dream
One day all I have seen I can be
Will be what I really am
To the bitterest end
Thru now and then

I will make it out of my house
I will make it to a new place
I will travel on peoples grace
I will run from what I know
So that one day I will go
Past the snow, thru the glow
right up To the Moon

"The Wolf in all of us"
Robert Fox Jul 2014
***** paws and gaping jaws

More than courage more than love

Digging deep only to take the leap

More than loyal better than brave

Howl at the air because we don't care

The world screams wild wolves

But never forget

We're the wolves that run through the wild
For the wolf in us all

Sleep life
Robert Fox May 2014
Hush now close your eyes
Don't fret I'm by your side
When the mornings turned to night
When the day  has lost its light
Dry your eyes don't cry
The only thing to do is try
May 2014 · 466
evermore bane
Robert Fox May 2014
I could get lost in space
Hide away from all the pain
Every guilty tear in this place
Each and every blood stain
That i hid from just in case
Anyone found then tried to chain
But in the end i come face to face
With my guilt, my evermore bane
May 2014 · 317
Life isn't Fair
Robert Fox May 2014
If the sky wasn't blue
Or if peoples words we're never true
Even if pigs had wings
Or if we were all made out of string
I would still sing to you
Or at the very least I would try to
So when you need me near
Remember that i hold you dear
Especially when you are sad
Or when you're very mad
Because I love you more than air
And i would do anything to make life fair

A sorry love
Robert Fox Apr 2014
I'd really like to think
My most repeated phrase
Is 'I love you', but i'm afraid
The truth of my life today
That my most repeated phrase
Is 'I'm sorry', but it's true
I am sorry, oh so very sorry,
That it makes me cry the words
'I love only you'
but that I know is true

Childish Wonder
Robert Fox Apr 2014
A lamppost a faded hope
The ring a dying sting
Owls and brooms now empty rooms
But wait and see
that I'll not so easily be
Brought up and raised
To cease these stories praise
For though I wrinkle and gray
They will forever stay
Near to my heart
dear to that childlike part
Apr 2014 · 339
You are always Reading
Robert Fox Apr 2014
Read when it is storming
Read when it is clear
Read when it is morning
But i'll be always near

Write when wind is roaring
Write when night is near
Write when life gets boring
Write to those you hold dear

Beauties Knot
Robert Fox Apr 2014
Beauties knot Is tied so taut
It breaks the strongest chains

Yet the beauty I behold in you
Is stronger still by far

It shines out radiant as my star
It binds us, me to you
Mar 2014 · 414
Inspired by Tolkien
Robert Fox Mar 2014
Voices murmur in the wind
Whispering thoughts of old
Telling tales of golden days
Never to behold
Walls they murmur back and say
"Golden days are only those
In which we find our yearning"
Mar 2014 · 302
12:34
Robert Fox Mar 2014
I'd ask you questions for hours
Found out that you don't like getting flowers

You told me that your favorite time is 12:34
I told you that i liked to sleep on the floor

We learned each others ups and downs
Learned how to lift the other up from a frown

I would like to see the two
That are closer than me and you

Seas and Sailing Ships
Robert Fox Mar 2014
Have you ever thought
What ends up in your head?
An endless sea, a raging storm
The calm of ages crashing
with times attempts at cages
Broken free we sail only to be

The Cage was time and time was caged
They locked us away and sent us to sway
Forever and never sailing on the sea
Never to be free but fleeing from them like a ghost
We became the mist the endless expanse.

Always seeing the horizon
never seeing the setting sun
Trapped by the sea, but still very free
A ship of silver, sailing on the sea
See the sun set but never dim
Never to rise, for a new day to be

But do you care? When your cage is the sea?
The sea that is ceaseless to be
Both kind and cruel? Tormentor and friend?
When you have a freedom so broad
That not even time can break its hold
On man and dream and longing old?

Never ashamed to **** without mercy
Then call back more to be
Devoured and destroyed.
But is it a loss?
For did they not first live like no one else?
Forever free, captured by the sea?
Mar 2014 · 270
Days
Robert Fox Mar 2014
If i were to say "What day is today?"
Would you answer with good or bad or somewhere lost in yesterday
What would you say, if i asked you to stay
With me the whole long day?
If you could would you leave everyone else anyway?
Feb 2014 · 443
Dont be Sad
Robert Fox Feb 2014
Don't be sad
We have done nothing bad

The problems others cause
Will not give our friendship pause

Tears by the way side
Laughter will reside

Its alright, its okay
Our courage may fail, but not this day

Water
Robert Fox Dec 2013
I hate water
Its breathless and dead
Tell me to take a bath
I'll fill the tub with fire
And wash myself in the flame
For fire has breath
It licks and touches
And forever caresses
My black cracked bones
They might **** me
But at least i'll still be warm
Instead of sinking like a stone
Into the crushing darkness.
Mind numbing horridness
Cold and friendless
Give me the flame any day
Because I. Hate. Water.

Im Dead
Robert Fox Dec 2013
No one will care when im dead
No one will visit me in my hospital bed

No one ever had anything nice to say
Probably because people didnt like me anyway

Ide call you all ***** ******* cowards
If i thought there was a lie in any of your words

But theres not so i'll just stop and nod
Or i would if i wasnt buried six feet under this sod

Vagabond
Robert Fox Dec 2013
I am a Vagabond
A prince among the poor
The best of the worst
The one who puts the worst at their best

I am an Outcast
A king among the fallen
The lowest of the least
The first step to becoming more
Is climbing over me

I am a Gypsy King
An Outcast Prince,
The Vagabond
Robert Fox Dec 2013
Im not quite sure
I cannot be certain
And theres room for doubt
As there always is
Right after the final curtain

But nothing is certain
And im certain and sure
So surely i must have done something wrong

To feel no doubt
But still need to shout
How my life is concrete
But my confidence is quite obsolete

Its a problem, i know
But i still cannot show
The things that i feel
Because i promised not to go

For this life of pain
Is worth every chain
So long as those i love
Know that this love was to me a gain
Dec 2013 · 483
Charlies Life
Robert Fox Dec 2013
I have almost died
I'll even admit that i have tried
But every time i took a leap
Everytime i landed in a crumpled heap
A little part of me would always know
That you both would willingly show
My broken, battered, beaten mind
That there is always something new to find
In this terribely tilted, lop sided life of mine

Just like Never before
Robert Fox Nov 2013
You left me cold
I left you mourning

I took your light
You made me a fighter

Now we are back in this place
The one filled up with all this hate

Together we will light up our world!
Forever we will fight the end of the night!

With the moon so bright
I will kiss you in just the right way

Just like never before
We will pour it all out!

Live our dreams as a reality!
Be able to shout and say!

Anything we wanted to do we did!
Everything we wanted to give we gave!

All the time we have to say!
Every time we **** up theres a new day!

Any way we want to live we say
Any way we want to live we live!

But my heart aches
While yours cries in pain

I thought a ring
Would fix everything

You warned me
I was wrong to think so!

As if you could be bought
It was a stupid thought

Memory Loss
Robert Fox Nov 2013
Have you ever forgotten an appointment?

Or maybe a birthday that was full of dissapointment?

Imagine forgetting weeks?

Loseing days!

Can you comprehend the terrible ways?

The torment that ensues?

Now go one step further

Follow me a few steps more in ferver.

I dont want your sympathy.

I need you to comprehend

To simply understand

I lost ten years of my life, and i cant bring them back.

Still i forget, never do i know

If these words were mine

You all are to kind.

For kindness does nothing to help me find

The lost years or missing months

These sprinkled days filled with that ticking clock

Im talking about some serious memory loss

A Butterflies Touch
Robert Fox Nov 2013
Now what is the most important thing
Of which i could sing?
Is it the kisses i wish i could send you?
And the hugs that would go along too?
Or maybe just your touch
To feel your fingers lightly brush
Across my skin and now i know

The thing of which i must sing
Its the feeling i get when i think
Of our lips brushing together
Of your arms twined around me forever
This weightlessness after your touch
I recognize this feeling that makes me blush

The most important thing
Of which we can sing
Are the butterflies that linger on
Everytime i realize you're that amazing song
That i could listen to all day long
My perfect day
Wrapped up in the perfect way
A way i can hug and kiss
And get butterflies from just like this

Perfectly Broken Hearts
Robert Fox Nov 2013
Guess what a perfect heart is made of?

Two broken ones.

Guess what?

You will love again.

Guess why?

Some one out there, has half a heart matching yours.

Wrong
Robert Fox Nov 2013
Your always wrong
Your always right

Be forever bright
Be forever strong

As the northern winds
As the southern songs

For youll live in time
In a time gone wrong

Sad Heart
Robert Fox Nov 2013
You made me so sad
But no one else was there
I hated you more than life itself
But no one else even cared
The pain you caused me was not your fault
But no one else would help me stop
All the time you knew my plight
But no one even stopped to talk
Never considering saying goodbye
But no one else could change my heart
You clung to me but never thought of how it was making me die.
For no one else will ever have, my beating, bleeding, breaking heart.

Sounds Like Hell
Robert Fox Oct 2013
I shan't make a sound
I'll not say a word
The moment will pass
The dead will not rise
My love will die old
The sun will rise cold
Its rays bent and sold
To mankind's highest bid
Through which we slid
Tainting this perfect well
Given us so we might not see hell
Its time we left
Its time we fought
But time will always win
It will never let go our sin
I am lost
I cannot match the cost
So let me die
Im quite tired of living this lie.

Cold Weather
Robert Fox Sep 2013
The wind and rain
Soon to be sleet and snow
These misted moors
Running to and frow

The leaves are falling
Clouds begin calling
For sheets of rain
And blankets of snow

Its winter or fall
Its cold outside for all
So bundle all up
In your blankets and furs

The time for carrols and rakes
And whited out states
Is running our way
But were here to stay

Stalling
Robert Fox Sep 2013
The flight im on is stalling
Still i keep calling
Falling falling falling...

The sky is black and the sea red
All those around me are dead
I pray i pray this is all in my head

Now if i hit the ground
I'll no longer hear a sound
One day my bones may be found

Voices
Robert Fox Sep 2013

Just voices trying
Just voices crying out in pain

Saying words in anger
Not meaning them any longer
Retreating never getting stronger

QuestionS
Robert Fox Sep 2013

In remotely the same way
So instead i'll run and stay
In my cottage far away
Just living alone and peacefully
On the sea shore were i lay
