Chasing Heart
Shannon Jeffery Aug 2014
A dancing collision
That we all embrace
One that blinds our vision
Another's heart we chase

A "soulmate" we are after
For this we journey beyond our grasp
We look for that spark, just a tiny ember
To ignite our love in hope it forever lasts

A Puppets Realisation
Shannon Jeffery Aug 2014
Blinded by blood
I do anything for you
A relation that whirs my head
Until I am sick and I spew

Now with this mirror
I see the knife you stab through
You're the cause of my death coming nearer
And yet I'm the problem, the ******* issue

The hating words of love
That come from your mouth
You cover your tracks with the glove
That you wear, you're a tyrant, a louse!

But I won't sink so low
I won't return the favor
For your death will be slow
Cause no more am I your savior

I'll just walk out the door
I won't even turn back
I know I'm worth so much more
No longer am I your snack

Good luck with your new life
Who knows what's in store
Without your radiation
Life grows deep within my core

My Guardian Angel
Shannon Jeffery Aug 2014
To the woman who holds my heart dear
No matter how far I am, for you I am always here
You're the angel who picks me up
When my times are set in rough
You know my melody
Of which you sing to me
Calming me into a warm soft dream
My thoughts rubbed with a silky smooth cream
You are every highlight of which is me
My shine when I want to flee
We are each others rock to lean
To stand through all that we've been

The woman who holds my heart through and through
The one I'll love unconditionally is true
Mum hold my hand
As we walk through this endless land

Monster, Monster
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
Monster, Monster
In my head
Torment me
Until I'm dead

Twisting my mind
To your very will
Crippling my soul
To do your evil

Monster, monster
Can't take anymore
Ripping me down
Dead to the core

Its time for our end
I bid you farewell
I'll drag you down
To the pits of hell

Plains of Void
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
Here I am once again
In a place I know to well
Perched upon the blank plain
I imagine it worse than hell

It seems I have left but a speck
Of imagination for possible creation
I say to myself "it will return, just give it a sec"
My mind full of nothing, the void invasion

Every time I return to the absence
It draws me in deeper, draining
My thoughts, causing the loss of sense
My dreams and hopes it's consuming

Will I escape this time
Will I ever create another rhyme
Or will my thoughts be silent as a mime
NO, this is just an obstacle I shall climb

I will make it out alive
My inspiration shall kick in
So for this I shall strive
Splash this void with creation and win

Travelling Ink
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
I've decided to go on a holiday
Take a trip not so far away
I hike across the paper grass
An ink lake I almost pass

I dive right on in
Now ink stained veins
I travel across vast mountains
Trailing behind an ink river

Forming the ups and downs
The rolls and spins around
Dizzy I fall upon wet grounds
Tweeting of a pen birds sound

This is where you'll find me
Upon an ink stained paper grass sea

What If?
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
An interesting thing
About our thinking
We rarely just act
Instead we ask, what if?

What if I say something wrong
What will happen
To the road I walk upon?
Will my journey start cracking?

What if I take the day off?
Will I lose my job?
Will I be palmed off?
I don't want to be stuck as a slob

Now I'd like to say
Don't stress on these "what ifs"
Send them on their way
The only if you should think upon
Is whether you'll wake for another day

Don't stress about the "what ifs"
You may never get another chance
If your worried about what might happen
Instead of taking action

Live like there is no tomorrow
For there is no time you can borrow
Take it while you have a chance
Live, love life and advance

Lost Dream Girl
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
Mind scattered
During reality
Thought splattered
With insanity

Till each day's through
My heart skips a beat
Maybe even two
Once time comes to sleep

Drift into infinity
Searching for ruby glazed lips
Follow the sapphire sea
Glance upon mesmerizing hips

An intoxicating kiss
Planted upon my steel cheeks
Fragrant melting bliss
Only a soft whisper she speaks

All I can make out
Is "come find me"
Abruptly ripped about
Brought back to reality

Alluring Whispers
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
Her lips form the chain
Which holds my heart
Delicate whispers become
My every heartbeat

My soul set in her sight
Luminescent eyes pierce
Deep inside my being
Every thought, her echoing whispers

Calling me, drawing me in
Seduced by the seed of a kiss
Forestry grew entangling
The deepest caves if my soul

Joy of Today
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
Glass carapace invites in rays
Upon my face radiant warmth lays
Cracks form on my lips edge
Standing upon dreams ledge

Eyes draw slowly open
Adjust to the blooming entrant
Embrace the suns warm kiss
A vibrant new day not to miss

Clouds paint the shining sky
Birds sing and soar ever high
Grass soft between the toes
Massaging my feet in the wind as it flows

Enjoy every grasping moment
Achieve anything no matter the distant
Don't live in sorrow
For there maybe no tomorrow

Slaves for Green
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
Torn and breaking
Worn and aching
Sleeping with eyes wide open
Nerves creaking, inside broken

Pushed to the limits
Barely pulling through it
Body feels its going to snap
All for that green crap

Greedy rich men drawing us in
For we need to survive
Waving green, we're worshipping
Feeding on us barely alive

Mirror Mirror
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
Mirror mirror on the floor
It was me who saw you fall
I did not help. no, not at all

You now shall be ridden
Unable to show the hidden
The sins of which I have written

Mirror mirror on the floor
It was me who cracked your core
I broke you on my way out the door

Hidden behind my masquerade
No longer a reflection but a shade
Until you finally fade

Road to Tomorrow
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
What is this of which people
call the road to tomorrow
Why can't I see where it leads me
Why don't I see which I want to know

This road isn't built
on which my thoughts are spilt
I'm trying to know that of which is unknown
The thing that no one is ever shown

Only with time I seem to find
pieces of answer to my question
to where is my future to wind
Lost in a filled blank section

Along this twisted unseen road
Creating my own view
of my life that I've sowed
through the choices that I issue

This is the road to tomorrow
there is no time you can borrow
so make it while you got it
Create a path to which you fit

Dream Drifting
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
Against the soft night sky
Those lights shining up so high
I take to the land of "let's pretend"
Where imagination never ends

I travel across the milky way
A place unseen amongst the day
I drift all through anomalies
Like diving down the seven seas

I wave to all I travel pass
Sometimes for directions I ask
Those that I see aren't of those that you know
For the nose that they blow is where your ear should go

From their toes they cry
They sing from their eye
The melody like no other
Like a warm hug from a mother

This is where I go
Through the nights
Leading to days of tomorrow

Seasoned Dream
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
Petals float on the winds
Warm breeze strokes my hair
Springs chorus envolopes my ears
Mesmerizing aromas fill the air

Interrupted, chills down my spine
No longer dreaming a warm desire
Icy gales freeze to my face
Winter winds cutting like wire

Untouchable
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Her eyes are my rainbow bridge to paradise
She smiles and the whole night sky glows
Engulfed by her gaze, my heart skips twice
Her beauty graciously flows

She is my sunrise
Lighting up my dull skies
She is my sunset
Painted my soul the first time we met

She layers my heart with petals of a rose
Covering the thorn carved wounds
Down my face a stream flows
An untouchable enchantress glides on the winds

Hollow Smiles
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
You think you understand me
But the truth you do not see
You think I'm full of happiness
But intact I'm just full of stress

You ask me if I'm okay
"I'm feeling great today"
LIE, deep inside I'm holding pains
My heart and soul covered in stains

I put on my masquerade
A smile of a soul that fades
No one knows what lurks beneath
You have no clue for what I sheathe

My soul cauterized inside out
My heart seeping from all my doubt
I put a smile for which you ask
My disturbed hollow mask

Lost Imagination
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Needing some inspiration
Revamp my imagination
Stuck in somber contemplation
Need a magical variation

My heart can't be sated
My mind feeling jaded
My soul is completely faded
My being simply deflated

Waiting for a lively spark
A transcendent arc
A strike out of the park
Unable to find my mark

Before my life decays
Turn my black, white and greys
Into colorful arrays
Return me to the ravishing ways

Forever Young
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Forever young
Never grow old
A muse forever sung
Only a few skin folds

Having heart and soul
To play all day
Staying forever young is my goal
Enjoying life I shall stay

With a few cricks and cracks
I'll still tango all night
All the Knicks and knacks
Inside my head, a little out of sight

Forever young
Never grow old
My life I've won
My passion never sold
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
A carousel of dreams I'm riding
Through the days and nights, exciting
What will come I do not know
But this whimsical path I will follow

Hiking through mountains of magical dreams
Waterfalls cascading from mystical streams
As leaves on the trees whisper to me
Take what holds you back and set it free

Letting out all that has been held
An invigorating sight is unveiled
A life stream of all dreams unsheathed
Utopia of imagination I've received

As bright colors burst from the heavens above
Flooding the land with the water of love
At the purpose of moment the perfection of place
All in the right time and space
Thanks to Mike Hauser for another wonderful collaboration. Such a fun guy to write with :)

Little Red Riding Hood
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Little red riding hood
Standing in the deep dark woods
Out comes a piercing howl
Not from a hooting owl

Whistling through the shadows
Like a hovering ghost
Launches out of the trees
THUD, the wolf drops to his knees

Red riding stares with an evil grin
A cape full of blood stained sin
Removes the cold steel from his heart
Smears the blood like a work of art

Twirls and dances of victory
And skips off into the night
A girl of pure insanity
Twisted soul for the forest she frights

My Love
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Staring deep into her eyes
Nights just whisk bye
Her smile is the sun to my day
A little flick to ease my pains away

Her words serenade my ears
Whistling away all my deep fears
She is the yin to my yang
The lullaby my heart sang

The flicker in her eyes
Light up the starry night skies
She cherishes my heart so
A blooming garden does grow

She is my sunshine
My dripping rain
A love to last the end of time
A ride on a bumpy train

Majestic Passion
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
The twinkles in the night skies
Is what I see in her majestic eyes
Whites of her teeth of which I'm swoon
As bright as a gracious midnight moon

A soul of pixie sparkling dust
The warming aura deep I trust
A heart so strong, hauls me along
The thumping of a deep love song

Her Garden
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Garden of beauty
Is where you lay
Trapped on the outside
Is where I stay

Your heart full of roses
And your soul of tulips too
Your eyes the diamond river
A glorious beauty is true

My heart beats for two
But locked out i am from you
Untouchable serenity
Mind stirring insanity

I lay here expiring
Watching you through a glass window
To your garden of eden
I dream to go

Impossible Love
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Once upon a time
You would never cross my mind
Every second of the day
In my head you settle and lay

My heart you cause to hasten
And yet my love is a wastin
For you never acknowledge me
My eyes only for one, can't you see

Why do I continue to love you
When you treat me as if I'm from a zoo
To you I'm just a ghost
Nevertheless I still love you most

Blind Infatuation
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Drawn in like a brainwashed sailor
To the serenade of the sirens song
Your beauty blinds me of my failure
Eyes that remind me of home

Entrancing sapphire like the crystal flow
Of the river down through the forest
Peering deep into my soul, blindly I follow
Lushes ruby lips I loved to caress

But for everything so visually perfect
Your soul was deprived
A personality so deeply wrecked
I'm surprised I barely survived

Your soul reminds me of a holiday
The kiss of bitter cold gales
Freezing deep in the snow I lay
Chilled bone deep feeling frail

The mistake I made was accepting
That everyone could change
Giving you a chance again
Never was I more deranged

You are a dark and twisted seductress
Stabbed in the back once too many
No longer shall I try to impress
For you I now forever banish

Freedom
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Freedom, what is freedom?
We believe freedom is being
Able to do whatever we like with
No restrictions. Quite intriguing

If you had no restriction
What would you do
With this so called freedom
The idea of peace would be lost too

True freedom is not
Doing whatever you like
It is not riding the streets
Being crazy on your motorbike

That is just madness
Pure insanity
True freedom we all already have
And of this we do have plenty

Freedom is speaking
What you believe
Understanding the consequences
In which you retrieve

Freedom is sharing your heart
And sharing your soul
No matter what others think
Don't be shy, it is time to fill that hole

Stand up and be yourself
Dare to dream worlds
Do not be afraid
Of other cutting words

Be free as an eagle soaring
As free as a dolphin gliding
As free as a lion roaring
Freedom a glory for your taking
