These words I hear
Whispered in my ear
*"I will always hold you dear,
Though i'll not be always near."
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
Robert Fox May 2013
“Pain”

This pain I feel
Should not be real

The things i've seen
Made me terribly mean

Till all I felt
Was my need for help

As I call out in fear
No answer I hear

So I curl up in pain
And hide all the shame

Of being so wrong
For so very long

When ide realized my faults
I put together my thoughts

But now i'm afraid
And with tears i have paid

For again I am falling
And no one answers my calling
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.
Robert Fox Sep 2013
Use the anger
Use the hate
Of every burnout
That was ever late
All the leather
Every punk
Can raise their fist
And shake things up
Robert Fox Sep 2013
I have a million questions
That ide ask you night and day
If i thought you loved me
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
Robert Fox Jun 2013
From Seattle
To a battle

I fought my war a million times
When life was hard ide make up rhymes

In the hopes that some one
Could take me away and run

To the places
With a thousand faces

Its New York and Paris
And a stop on the London ferris

But all i care about
Is hearing you shout

That im all you need
Together and in the lead

Racing through the skies so blue
Straight to the place that no one knew

Now were alone
And together we sink like a stone

To the bottom of the sea
Where forever we will be
The only ones....

Just you and me
Robert Fox May 2013
“Revenge”

Deny me my fight
And i'll give you what is right

I may have done wrong
By ending your time

Though it ends now
Your time has ended with mine
Robert Fox May 2013
Right Light”

We feel foolish for singing
To a tune no one else can hear

So we **** of the ringing
Of bells we hold so dear

Then when numbness chills our yearning
For brighter stars and open hearts

All thats left is earning
Back the tremendous part

Of our mind and inner light
Which we sold for acceptance and direction

Little did we see ahead in our night
That the chiming bells and yells
Were declarations of conquered hells

I turn your night to day
And your mind to what you know is right
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.
Robert Fox May 2013
“Screaming Silent Fear”

Silence is here it is there
It screams at the walls
And scratches in the halls

Its breath I smell
Its touch so cold
The madness takes hold

Then throws me into shame
For emptiness I fear
And darkness I hold dear

As night draws near
I lay down my ear
Nothing do I hear

So terror grips
As the void looks back
And chills the air

Make it end make me hear
The voice of man
But only fear do I hear

So scared I am that no one knows
I hold it all in
For fear of my foes
Robert Fox Sep 2013
She was neither the prettiest
Nor was she the wittiest
But heed your heart
When such a person starts
To stir your friendship
For they may posses that special bond of kinship
Yet alwaysbe wary and afraid
Of loseing that friend to love dismayed
Although your heart may be sure
For such a heartache there is no cure
The pain you will feel after such a year
Will bring you to shed many a tear
Time will pass but this love will never die
No matter how hard you try
Just seeing that person will get you high
Then saying goodbye will make you want to cry
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?
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
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.
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
Robert Fox May 2013
“Superman”

She flies and lies and cries

Never stops caring never stops daring

To go ever further and climb ever higher
Robert Fox Aug 2013
These words i put down on paper
Have swirled through my mind like vapor
Churning through my thoughts all twisted
Until my minds eye was foggy and misted
So now i try to feel my way
Across a landscape that shifts everyday
Help me to see, please help me get free
Of my tangled feelings mixed up in me
Robert Fox Sep 2013
Hold them in
Save them up
Remember the reasons
We cry so much
Let them go
And count them slow
So that you will always know
Why it is
That people cry so
Robert Fox May 2013
“Tender Safety”

We wallow in fear and doubt
And cry that we’ll never get out

For the beasts pacing in the night
Give us leave our senses with fright

As the stars close in around you
My anger broke its bonds and flew

Straight through the window in the sky
To rest upon all light and fly

No more in such earnest hate
Of bonds and chains or locks of fate

But to love and laugh and laughing love
Your safety as tender as the wings of a dove
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
Robert Fox May 2013
“The girl”

Maps he drew and maps he knew
Were answers to the riddles blue

With heart on the edge
He flew right through

To crash and burn
On the shores he drew

For a love had in nights all gone
A girl so good she knew him long

Till all was gone from his mind
But thoughts of the girl he could never find
Robert Fox May 2013
“The Man in the Moon”

Round and flat, silver and white, black as night

Alive with stars, dead with the sunrise
Still not gone till nearly nine

If you look he will be gone
But at a glance he shines with glee

That young old man who never sleeps
The one who no one knows but everyone sees
Robert Fox May 2013
“The Minds Identity”

Screams ripped through ****** mouths
As madness burned in every word

Malice fought to take its hold
Through silence i heard

In loneliness surrendered
Though retreat can never be

For the beasts of which i speak
Are my own worst imaginings

Striding through my thoughts
Sowing in seeds of woe

My mind is lost in chaos
The identity I so hate

Now the only thing left to hold
Are the hands of friends turned cold
Robert Fox May 2013
“The Owl and The Fox”

Silvery white shines the moon tonight

As the sea caresses the shore

And rain slips through the door

The wind roars aloud

At a ship sailing on a cloud

My safety seems so weak

For these walls are all i seek

To guard against these forces strong

But my safety will not last for long

This hope I abandon in all

And pray to God to catch my fall

His hand i do not feel

Though his help I know is real

My castle is gone

Standing alone I feel so wrong

Secluded on this sandy stretch

I look to my right and to my left

Then looking to the water black

I see a face that has no lack

Of terror and fear

That drowning is near

Forgetting all thats been lost

Saving them is my only thought

Plunging into the icy sea

I try to save them as i tried to save me

Kicking back in hope of life

The waves cease their strife

And the wind sinks in its icy knife

Looking down to face this man

I see it was a woman i brought to land

Taking her hand

I lift her from the sand

Staring at me she opens her lips

Then speaks in a voice not honeyed or crisp

Never the less her speech I can tell

Is the voice of an angel chiming as a bell

I try to let go of her hand lily white

But she holds on so very tight

And whispers so slight

Nine words in my ear

That I could barely hear

“Thank you for saving me

my gallant gray knight”

Heart skipping a beat I knew that I would

Love only her for as long as I could.

I'm sure you can see

Even though this may be

A story far off way out in the sea

I still hope in my heart its about you and me.

From The Fox, To The Owl
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
Robert Fox May 2013
“Timeless and Rhymeless”

We get lost because we so want to be found

The unknown looms before us crouching with gaping jaw
  Some run to cover but I run into this black maw

For the terror sitting before me
Is far better than the emptiness i’ll leave back there
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
Robert Fox May 2013
“Trip”

I want to be great
You want to be grand

You appreciate me
When i can't really see

The hope in my heart
Cause i'm not nearly as smart

As you with your shyness
And amazingly long silence

But Ferdinand my friend
I don't often tend

To think these things through
So i’ll just say it to you

You confuse so thoroughly
That I can’t really tell

Whether i’m flying for you
Or simply falling with style
Robert Fox May 2013
“Turn Up”

When your strength is gone
All your rights turn to wrong

When the world is burning
And seems to stop turning

He will turn up to give us hope
For all he loves is left with us

The good he sees and the bad he hates
But without one we cannot have the other

As what is left is so much good
And all we see is so much loss

Let the hope rekindle
In our hearts stone cold

And let the light grow bright
As life again shows through
Robert Fox Jan 2015
The little things I say to you in passing
Are really the biggest things in my mind amassing
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 Aug 2013
My understanding reaches far

But only because of this scar

The one I got from your thorny vine

For when I crossed your paper thin line

You lashed out and broke this heart of mine
Robert Fox Sep 2013
Were all just voices lying
Just voices trying
Just voices crying out in pain

Saying words in anger
Not meaning them any longer
Retreating never getting stronger
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.
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.
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
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
Robert Fox May 2013
“Written Pictures”

Books she wrote
To hear her thoughts

Like storms blew strong
Through the stories so long

With brush and stroke
And pictured smoke

Spoke to all
In verse and call

Since sorrows are bold
And the pain was old

Her words showed truth
Most painful to youth

Now lend your ear
And you will hear

The colors of our world
In her hands twisted and swirled

To make us see
All we could ever be
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
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
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

— The End —
