Pineapple Isle
I'm setting my true self free
I write to solidify a feeling or memory so I can remember it whenever I read my writing, and so others can hopefully feel what …

Isle of Skye

Take me to the Isle of Skye
Where cold winds can flow through me
Freezing away my poor choices

Take me to the Isle of Skye
Where the clouds merge into blankets of comfort
Where I can rest my tired head

Take me to the Isle of Skye
Where mystery and wonder dance delicately
Enticing me to join in

Take me to the Isle of Skye
Where the musical rivers sing sweet
An enchanting melody to get lost to

Take me to the Isle of Skye
So I can merge myself into its identity
And finally let go from the cruel clutches of humanity

Take me to the Isle of Skye
To disintegrate my soul into its beauty
My words just gentle whispers in the wind

Calling home the lost souls
To the warm embraces
Of the Isle of Skye

In this Isle
I’ve seen the rising sun
In silence and nothing aloud
It is where,
People would dine for two
Not really, this isle is mine

It’s not a gold mine
All it is, is an isle
But I wouldn’t share it with two
Other people. They’ll fall in love under the sun
Well, this is not Eden where
The “naked truth” is allowed

I wouldn’t say this aloud
But this island is mine
It’s nothing the gods would wear
As a crown, but I’ll
Not judge that because
I still love this island for two

I hope you can see this too,
But this dream is not allowed
For the young daughter and sons
In the future of mine.
Without my little imaginary isle,
Which I will not find anywhere

This isle is also where
I could find comfort, love too.
I know it’s only an isle
And you’ve heard me, aloud
And many times I said it’s mine
And also about the great and beautiful sun

The truth is, it’s never about the sun
Nor about the feeling that wouldn’t wear
It is how this island is really just mine
And no other two
Roamers in my dream would be allowed
To trespass into my private isle
~
*So they could find another sun for two
And leave to a place where they are allowed
This is mine, this is my isle

Isle of Yew
Landon Keys Dec 2020
I dream these dreams
On an isle of yew
Either day or night
My soul is blue
Through firelit skies
Or moonlit nights
I dream these dreams
On an isle of yew

The night so dark
On an isle of yew
I'm lost and found
Where souls bound anew
Their faces so right
when faced with my plight
The night is so dark
On an isle of yew

I'm just not happy
On an isle of yew
My heart is stone
But by soul- it flew
In the shade it's cold
Or so I'm told
Underneath these trees
On and isle of yew

I wander in splendor
On an isle of yew
Neither here nor there
down an aisle or two
The trees grow high
and so do I
I wander in splendor
On an isle of yew

I am elated
On an isle of yew
To face another
Whose beauty so true
Your face loved me
And love crushed me
So I end this thought
On an I love you.
