Why Poetry?
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Why Poetry?
Is a question many ask
Poetry is my Entry
To a vibrant world I can bask

Why Poetry?
I can release my emotion
I am able to grow an everblooming tree
Without all others commotion

Why Poetry?
Poetry is where my heart
And soul are set free
An incandescent art

Poetry is a place for release
Poetry is a place for love
Poetry is a place for soul
Poetry is a place for emotion

Poetry is my *

The drip from my arm
Creates vibrant worlds on paper
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
A silhouette
Just a husk
I'm a creature made of lust

A *******?
Who knew?
His ******* Father

His name at least
It's known to me
The nature of the Beast
A fleeting Memory

Yet so readily can I recall
The feelings of fear

One and all
I hold them dear

For he taught me
What not to be

I wish I could hate
For every hurt and every blow
The man who left me to this fate
How much he'll never know

It's useless to expend the effort
On a shadow with no substance
So I've built my fort
Keeping him in the distance

Daddy's Reflection
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Beer in hand
Drinking my pains away
In front of me my child stands
"Get out of my sight, go and play"

The wife arrives home
Tears in her eyes
"Someone just throw this ***** a bone"
Turn up the volume, drown out the cries

"Turn that **** down" she yells
Sick of this crap
In my head like loud bells
Beat this ***** with my belt strap

She curls in the corner alone
I resume watching my show
My son mutters in a low tone
I raise my hand for the blow

He stares into my eyes
I see a glassy mirror
My heart falls and inside I die
I'm a ****** monster, a terror

Tears fall down my cheek
My young boy is a reflection of me
What will this cause him to seek
This is not what he should see

As the diamonds fall over his dimples
He asks me "is me and mummy a burden?"
Down my face tears still trickle
Speechless deep inside I'm hurting

"No my boy, daddy is a rotten man"
"I still love you daddy, just
please don't hit mummy again"
Choking up my chest begins to bust

My son is a bigger man than his father
I wish I could right my wrongs
But to protect my son and his mother
I tremble walking deaths songs

I'm not good for either
Before I enter the gates of hell
"Son, please take care of your mother"
This is the end my life I expel.
Not a real life event. Trying to bring awareness to those who don't understand these issues and those of who do this understand what they cause.

Sleepless Mind
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
It's time to enter a sleepless mind
The cogs and wheels spin and grind
I hear the whistles and the chimes

My head racing faster than a v8
Thoughts are larger than a U.S state
For my sleep I am ever so late

Clocks in my head, tick tocking
Side to side my head rocking
Chains pulling of the ship docking

Inside a war is going
Bullets and missiles a throwing
Explosions is all, lost for all knowing

Eternity lost in void of thought
Reminiscing on all I was taught
Consistent darkness you haunt

A sleepless mind is what I see
It is all I know how to be
So if don't you mind, come join me

Everything you need is easy to obtain, its
Very simple for me to explain
Ever thought you couldn't get it
Reach out and just grab it

Go your hardest at what ever you're after
Instead of curling and giving up
Vacate your mind and try again
Enter positive sight my friend

Understand this though, you will need to
P**repare for a journey, and it'll all come to you

What should I do?
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Some days I wonder
What should I do
My brain travels yonder
For an idea or two

When my head is out of ideas
What should I do
I look upon autumn trees
Foraging flora for a delicious hue

And then the days where I draw a blank
What should I do
Maybe I should steal a tank
Blow up a city, kablew

What if my heart decides to move
What should I do
Should I fall in love
And chase after you

These days I just wonder
That's what I do
Laying here I ponder
Waiting for something new

Life Choices
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
I'm faced with an issue
For which I do not need a tissue
It's a little complicated
Makes me feel intoxicated

I have some life choices
But I need to follow the right voices
I wish I could just stand back
Autopilot through the right track

Three main choices have arisen
All three I can envision
For one I need self confidence
At the loss of my moral conscience

Or I can keep my heart and adore
But have a life that I bore
Be laid back and loving, never to explore
But would I trade this for the loss of my core

Or I can just stay this way
The way I am today and everyday
My brain and heart stuck in a conundrum
I wish the answer would just come

All I can do is roll the dice
And hope luck is ever so nice
Picks for me one which is right
I shall think on this one overnight

Questioning Destiny
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
Is destiny reality
Or just a falsity
Once I believed in destiny
Now I believe it's insanity

I'm a little lost for which path to take
I've been given so many
I just don't want to make a mistake
There are just so many possibilities

Which one is the right
Which one do I pick
Will I end up with a fright
Will I end up really sick

Too many choices
And so many voices
How do I know
Which path to follow

No longer do I believe
That there is destiny
My own path I shall conceive
Have I just created my own insanity
So many life possibilities handed to me but can only pick one. Im young and confused, don't know which path to take. My heart doesn't either lol

Upside Down Clown
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
You ask me who I am
My answer to you is simple
I am a special type of clown
But not one full of fun and whistles

I can juggle like a normal clown
I juggle my thoughts a feelings
My giant smile is a little upside down
No laughter for me just high pitch squealings

You ask me about my nose
"If you"re a clown why isn't it big"
I answer "oh but it is you just don't see it"
Jammed in others business it does dig

I also make people laugh
Not from a funny joke
But from my great failure
Because I am a joke

I'll do the good ole clown trick
I'll jam myself into something so small
Even though I am super tall
At least I'll be able to hide from it all

I am an upside down clown
It's what I do best
Now to move from this town
Onto the next
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
Today I reached deep in my pocket
In search of some new ideas
But all I grabbed a hold instead
Was a big handful of pocket lint

It seems I'm all dried up
For the scene of current days
Maybe that's where I should start
Inspiration from good ole times

But with good time memories
Few and far between
I reach into another pocket
And find a torn and tattered dream

A dream I thought was locked away
A time of pain and sorrow
The nightmare of a special day
One with no tomorrow

Unfolding it further it changed in shape
The way dreams so often do
It was then I let go in hand
And away the nightmare flew

With a Whoosh, Fizz, Crackle, BANG!!
Coloured lights entangle the night
Raining down a gracious song
Lost in awe my mind reignites
Thanks to Mike Hauser another wonderful collaboration.

Soul Lined Web
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
My life is like a spiders web
Strand for strand intertwined
An ordered chaos built each day
From my soul this web is lined

Twisted and tangled in a mess
Full of insects which upon I feast
These are the bad memories that I have
Deep inside I conceal the beast

Because of those moonlit nights
My web shimmers like a lake
These are the good times that shine
Those memories shall never break

Some strands of my web
Are sticky and gross
But all in all they stand strong
Because this is just how life goes

A web of unimaginable entanglement
Strand for strand intertwined
An ordered chaos built through time
This web my soul has lined

An Angel has be sent for us
She is our guidance through tough
She is our thick through thin
Even through all this she'll never say "Enough is enough"

From our beginning she holds our heart
A tender love, a transcendent art
Our love for her and hers for us
Shall never ever be torn apart

Her heart full of love
She takes care of us
Her heart forever by our side
She is an angel we all know and trust

Her name is known by all
An angel only known by some
She has many names, but one unique
This goddesses name is...Mum
To my Mum and my Grand mum for looking after me and being there for me through anything I needed. <3

Haters Termination
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
I have a message
For you haters
You're the wreckage
Your words like razors

No longer shall I keel
To your decimating attitude
I have an intransigent zeal
Of undeniable magnitude

Your reign of terror
Now a speck in the past
Your puppet strings I sever
Now free I feel, at last

I dare you, I dare you
Try to cut me down
But be warned, I will strew
Your face all over the ground

No longer am i afraid.
All the hated, it's time to stand
All the haters, it's time to be repaid
No more worries, just grains of sand

The tides now change
Deny them their satisfaction
Their power has no range
Haters, this is your termination
Sick of all the people who think they are better and put others down. Time to stand up.

Bullying
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
Bullying such a terrible thing
Target the small and fragile
It will only cause a minor sting
This pain shall only last a small while

Hound that little boy with glasses
"Nerd, Geek, Four eyes"
Shove him into lockers as he passes
Torment him until he cries

What about the red haired girl
"Ginger, Ranga, Carrot Top"
Pound her down until she curls
Push them to their limit, don't stop

Now the question I shall ask
What did you gain
Other than your shallow mask
Trying to hide your own shame

You don't understand what you cause
Those kids you tormented
Only find safety and joy in self recluse
They now believe they are demented

That girl you called Ginger
Has bled out over the floor
Its "You" who caused her to injure
This young girl is now dead to the core

That boy you called four eyes
He now hangs from the ceiling
Sleeping away in the night skies
These kids no longer have feeling

What do you say for yourself
Nothing, nothing at all
Bullying is your disgusting wealth
But one day realise you shall fall

One day people shall stand
Fight against this vile behavior
Together we will band
And this shall be our savior
Stand up against bullying. We need to get rid of it. Causing way to much harm

Sound of Time
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
Have you noticed
Everything that goes by
It all goes so fast
Soon enough we all say "Goodbye"

Time just slips away
Moments just disappear
Barely remember day by day
Back in time we try to peer

The sounds of time
So loud yet unheard
The tick tocking rhyme
Like the whistles of a bird

As fast as days go
Take in all the little things
Enjoy everything as you grow
For time forever shall sing

Dark Soul
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
On an expedition we shall go
Into the deep dark unknown
I do not know what shall be found
No sudden movement nor sound

To begin this my friend
Travel my souls darkest end
For your thoughts I will bend
It is time for you to descend

The horrors that I see
The evil that lays inside of me
Rattling away trying to break free
Do not worry for I hold the key

The key to a stained heart
This is only the start
My soul will tear you apart
My minds purest art

Black liquid spilling from the walls
Darkness seeping in through your pores
With a high screech the voice calls
Your soul it now draws

To tear from your whole
Left with nothing but a dark soul
Your heart filled with holes
Total loss of control
I don't know what caused me to write this nor where it even came from in my head.

Untitled (confusion)
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
What has come of me?
Everything is changing.
What shall be?
Life rearranging

My heart on a mountain range
My mind racing the speedway
Never felt so strange
Everything changing day by day

Do I have a passion?
Or am I just lost
In life's transaction.
Has everything been tossed?

Nothing makes sense
Not anymore,
Everything intense
Where is my call?

Where shall this end?
One day I'll know.
For now these wounds I tend,
One day I shall go.

But until then
I'll do what I can.
I will not bend
I shall ascend
Questions questions...

Subconscious Chameleon
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
I have lost who I am
Or was I just never found
I don't know when this began
Where do I start? Feeling drowned

I subconsciously blend
I'm a natural chameleon
My emotions and thoughts bend
I feel like an alien

Whomever I stand by
Is who I become
I could breakdown and cry
All these influences, like gum

I'm deep down somewhere
Just no clue where to begin
I need a white light to appear
Or forever my world will spin
Lost for who I am. So hard to explain.

Blooming Love
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
Love is like a gorgeous rose
with time and care beauty grows

A beautiful aroma fills the air
from all the love and all the care
vibrant colors warm the eyes
rose flourishing, reach for the sky

There are times when the rose won't bloom
That doesn't mean I'm through with you
Although it appears a barren bush
This love just needs a little push

Though the thorns may cause a heart to bleed
Through the pain you soon will see
All these pains can be healed
Just as long as you don't yield

Learn from each moment
Forever enjoy it
The rose is just a metaphor of
An ever growing love
Thanks to Mike Hauser. I was very stuck with parts of this. He gave me some amazing lines.

Take flight
Soar with grace
Caught alight
flame interlaced

Gracious blaze dances
over the skies
Fiery beats taking chances
never truly dies

Mythical creature of magnificence
The Phoenix, more than a creature
each wing beat, flaming transcendence
a symbol of great stature

Heart bound symbol
experiences fuel your fire
You're in control
your soul never to retire

Build from the pain
reborn from ash
take all as a gain
all can happen in just a flash

Flames may die
 one spark can reignite
don't break down and cry
stand up, take flight

I sit upon a risen bank
with golden white grains below
in between my toes it flows
a soft singing breeze does blow

I gaze upon the stars so high
like fairy dust in the sky
the beauty of a moonlit night
a vibrant night, just Paradise
Thought I'd try something different :) hope you all like it
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
These days I have more flashbacks
Than I do reality
I wish the past would just sit back
And leave this poor boy be

But the past it holds more flavor
Than a stick of chewing gum
When it comes to what I savor
Babe your still the one

All I dream is you and me
Heart struck that youre gone
Forever my love I hoped you see
You are my transcendent song

The places we used to visit
A time when our hearts flourished
When the skies were our only limit
Beautiful times we cherished

Never knowing where we will end
Just a bunch of mysteries
For time to us we thought would bend
And now I have just memories

But as they say all things come to an end
And come to an end they must
For what we once held together
Are now ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Thank you to Mike for this amazing collab experience :)

What the **** is wrong with me?
I'm too madly in love to see
the pain and confusion I cause
my emotions and thoughts I force

All I want is you to be happy
but all I'm doing is making it ******.
I don't care the pain I have to take
but I never thought my love for you was a massive intake.

My heart too big, my soul to open,
everyday my love will heighten.
I'm causing more pain then love.
I've pushed my feelings to hard, caused it to be rough.

I'm sorry for any pain or confusion,
my total love intrusion.
I don't know what to do
all I want is the best for you.

Maybe what's best has got nothing to do with me
has my love turned from a gift to a fee?
I'm lost for you Angel, what do I do
I've been blinded by my love, I have no clue

Fear
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
Fear
What do I fear

I have a fear of height
but deep down its nothing
I would love to just take flight
but that's just a dream of something

I have a fear of spiders
creep me out far beyond my heartbeat
these fears are nothing just minors
my true fear lies deep, I can't defeat

I'm so afraid that I will just wake
from my visual reality
the life I have to just disappear, heartbreak
that it could be just a dreaming insanity

to lose all I have, experiences and all
would destroy me as deep as the core
finding out that my head created this wall
nothing I have done means anything, thrown out the door

my fear is to lose all that I love
all that I've experienced, aches and pains.
I don't want to lose anything, I don't want to leave
I love every last one of these stains

my soul is imprinted
my heart is engraved
my eyes can't be tinted
my being never enslaved

If I'm just dreaming
I'll shall never awake
this is a reality worth sleeping
I will not make the mistake

this is my biggest fear
unable to forever stay here.
Is our reality just a dream? Is this just insanity.

Thank You

Thank you dear Lord
for what you have given
I do not know what allowed me this reward
But now I have been granted vision

You have given me the chance
to meet an angel of great faith
I was in a downward spiralling trance
now I enjoy every beat and every last breath

I pray that you take great care
of your angel on the path she may follow
To find someone so empowering, so rare
guide her through, for with her there is a better tomorrow.

To the beautiful angel of my light
thank you for waking me
you have given me greater sight
I see a greater perspective, I'm free

In return for what you gave and I receive
I will be there for you in your time of need
any pain I'll do my best to relieve
just tell me when for your heart I can't read

I thank you dear angel
my heart and soul shall protect
at its very best, no matter how painful
for you I have immense respect
You cured my heart and soul. thank you this is the least I can do. <3

Stolen Heart
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
Here is my story
of meeting you, a glory.

The day we first met
a day I shall regret
don't read that wrong
for you I truly long
I regret not taking a chance
being so scared at first glance

When my eyes rested upon you
I truly did not have a clue
I was a lost soul, living day by day
I would let every day pass away
there was nothing for me here in life
I truly could have just picked up knife.

We met down the beach
but my heart was still out of reach
I looked in your eyes, Click
it was like I no longer feel sick
I wasn't sick though, I did not understand
but for once in my life I felt grand.

Even with this great feeling
The lock on my heart is still rusted
but I could feel the lock peeling
it still could not be busted
we floated and talked
once you left this lock exploded

Now I became annoyed
my heart was ready to be deployed
"Why", I kept asking myself this
Had no confidence, and now you I miss.
who was this Angel who opened me
I knew your name, you were my key.

I was lost in thought
My heart and head now fought
For days I hated
I laid and waited.
But found nothing I did
so instead deep down I hid

Now it had been awhile
I kept wondering if it was some kind of trial
all I could think was maybe I failed
once again falling deep I felt derailed
but by chance
I see you advance

my heart races, pounding
my head started clouding
This time I'll say something
but out comes absolutely nothing
only some small talk
and on you walk

I could see you were interested
but my lips just would not spread
the next day you were gone
I walk I to work that morn, torn
a colleague tells me about an envelope
my heart rose, up comes my hope.

A long beautiful letter
now I feel a whole lot better
as my heart flies, we talk and talk
now my dreams you stalk.
the woman of my dreams you are
the gorgeous shining star

you have opened my heart
and that is just the start
you have opened my soul
and made me feel whole

thank you with all my heart and soul
I miss you and love you, my heart you stole

Today
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
Today my day
it was quite bad
Today my day
I felt quite sad.

I woke with a thump, my foot on the floor
lifting my head, smack there's the door
creeping and sliding, droop down the stairs
today is a day that will stick up my hairs.

I say good morning feeling all blue
yet some sadness lifts thinking of you
I have awoken just a little bit
but today I truly felt unfit.

you reply with good morning
the smile you bring to my face, astounding
the rest of the day moves at a slow pace
this morning is weird I feel out of place.

finally, the days end comes to near
today a day im glad will clear
ding, my phone its you I hear
you say hello, why thank you my dear

I think of many things of you
but when it comes to talking
my thoughts become askew
my brain just goes on walking

still thank you beautiful
you made my day wonderful
as crazy as it seems
sleep tight, sweet dreams

The Hunt
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
The time is right
Its time to fight

You tell me to hop away like a little bunny
You don't want me to wait, you think I will hurt
I'm so sorry but I just won't give up honey
I will fight for you untill I'm buried in the dirt.

I won't hop away, I'm an eagle
I will jet up, flying up high
You're the paint for my easel
Up so high soaring across the sky

I've made my goal, from which I won't stray
I will hunt as I fly high, you won't get away
My heart has chosen you, forever my prey
Forever my love you will always stay
