Golden glow
On the horizon
Harmonious songs
Sung on the wind

Cool breeze
Flowing calmly
As darkness
Turns to light

Direct
Entanglement of
Scripted
Time
Intertwined in
Natures
Y**outh

A remote control
That's all I need
My life would be simple
To change times speed

I could fast forward
The times of dislike
I could pause
And go on a life strike

And that one special button
If I get into trouble
And I need sound gone
I can mute on the double

What does this button do
The big red one at the top
Maybe I'll get a better view
It seems I was wrong, for life just stopped

Upon the doorstep of today
I met a man on his way
To the the world of yesterday

I asked him why he'd return
To a day with nothing more to learn
All I got was a look ever so stern

There is more in the past
Which we miss with time so fast
So dig deep into your memory cast

In each memory there's something missed
Upon you forehead it could have kissed
Go for a walk down memory lane, I insist

But there is one place I shall go
Where we will meet and see a show
And that is the day of tomorrow

You see me as something different
And the fact is true to that
Each and every one of us
Is as unique as every other

So when you say I'm quirky
Remember your just the same
We all have our traits
And our quirky other sides

So just remember one
I am who I am and you who you are
So see me from close
Not from afar

We are just the same
Unique like every other
All differences alike
With our own view on life

I float
On the winds
Of time

Waiting
On a purpose
For me
To find

Forever in each others hearts
Altogether, never torn apart
Moments to cherish forever
Inseperable unconditional love
Limitless connection from skies above
Y**our hearts bound, never to sever

Rolling tides of thunder
Howl across our shattered world
Scattering hopes and dreams
Of lost, withered souls

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.

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

A Giant fat toad
sat on a road
Croaking away
His day

His time was now up
An ending abrupt
Spread on the road he lay

The blazing phoenix
Soars to the skies
With tender flames

Bursting into ash
Drifting among the winds
To the ground it rains

Piles of ash cold as ice
Scattered remains
Begin to rise

With exploding heat
Born again ready to fly
Off it soars back to the skies

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

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

I'd like to tell you a secret

Lying here all I think of is you
Of you I dream so frequent
Venturing deep I do
Envious of your gracious heart

Your gorgeous enigmatic soul
Oh. Your style, a stunning art
U**nending beauty, my heart you stole

When evil evades
The light inside
It begins to persuade
Until you've died

Say your prayer
For death is in the air
No one will care
Your life stripped bare

No heart
No soul
Torn apart
Left a black hole

I'd like to just say a thank you to a lot of people on HP

You've all made me feel so welcome, I never really thought I could write well but I still did because it was from my heart, but I have gotten some incredible feedback.

You are all amazing, such talented writers and it is such a pleasure to read your work let alone have you comment on mine. So once again a massive thank you to all at HP :)

Horrid screams pierce the walls
Razor claws slice from thin air
The Predator strikes once more
Sending you to the abyssal lair

She's a hand grenade
With no pin
Ready to erupt

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

I wish I could write
All day and all night

I wish sleep i did not need
For upon my daydreams I could feed

I wish I had the power
To bloom more than just one flower

I wish I could be a real poet
So I could say "ye, I am and I know it"

I wish wishes came true
Like a genie giving three wishes, I'd only need two

I wish there was more to me.....
But it's time to return to reality

The combination of two hearts
Cause two souls to combine
Like vibrant coloured art
Losing track of all our time

I feel a little dull
Like life has nothing left
My mind is just empty
Not cluttered with mess

With nothing to write
Nor even reason to
When life is so bland
What do I do

I would love to write again
Bringing the sun to rise
But my heart stopped pouring
Now my ink just dries

So what should I do
When life is just plain
No purpose to try
Only voids of insane

If i gave you my eyes
Would you show me the way
Or would you leave me blind
And tuck them away

If i gave you my lips
Would you softly caress
Or stitch them together
Like that of your dress

If i gave you my hand
Would we soar atop clouds
Or would you let go
Buried deep below ground

If I gave you my heart
And gave you my soul
Would you hold me close
Or shatter me whole

Silhouettes begin to brighten
Under a resplendent sun upon the horizon
Nimble light dances across crystal oceans
Rendering sparkles upon the peaks
Illumination of vibrant skies
Serenading over silvery steeps
E**nding with scenery of beautiful hues

The power is in my mind
But I'm stuck with the mouth
Of a mime

Best friends for life
Respect and love unbreakable
Occurances of strife
Treasured trust deeper than space
Hearts chained together
Everlasting link unshakable
R**ichness of soul, love forever

Out on the oceans
Of uncharted dreams
We sail in search
Of life's endless seams

Dreaming the impossible
In hope it comes true
Sailing the skies
Ever so blue

Hiking the peaks
Of a flaming sun
In nothing that we seek
It's all just for fun

Emerse yourself
In endless creation
Imagine worlds
Of constant motion

Don't be afraid
To dive in deep
For its only a dream
While you sleep

Life is taken by time
Time is taken by living

Beyond the horizon I explore
Above seven seas I soar

Why do you smile
When your heart bleeds

If you walked my shoes a mile
You'd understand that love seeds

Why do you laugh
When your soul is crushed*

There's no need for pains from past
When there's future joy to be touched

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 **Home

I feel restless and empty
For the smiling faces around are plenty
But none of these faces send me
To the fields of feeling free

Trapped in a cage
Upon lifes grand stage
Only to rot away with age

Damaged and broken
My heart removed for a token
Never felt more awoken

They tear me apart with their masquerade
Deep into my mind they invade
Cutting it to pieces with a serenade
Then left like a stray dog I begin to fade

We are Phoenix's
beginning as a soul
  to be born under human bonds.
Going through pain and troubles
only to triumph in the end
  as to fall and burn to be reborn.
It doesn't end there
we die but only to be reborn
  as a soul to stand before heavens gates.
Never truly die
we are eternal
  forever love.

A crescent flashed
for but an instant
Impenetrable barricades smashed
as if non-existent

Silent lights flicker
as the butterflies rise
Crimson rushes ever quicker
Unchained, set upon the skies

"Life is just a game"
Something we've all heard
Some take with excitement
Others think it's absurd

But think for just a moment
One moment is all
What if life is the player
And we're its game, here on call

We fight to the death
With no purpose or cause
Life lasts forever
We have no button to pause

No revives
No return
No extra lives
Just time to burn

Bound by mortal chains
To world where we bend
Maybe I'm crazy
But it's lifes choice in the end

A Beautiful Day
It Has Been
But Sadly Now
Comes To End
To All Goodnight
Have Sweet Dreams
And Sleep Tight

Stolen Heart, Forever To Be Never

My demons
Ignite my sight
Inviting all
Which is frightening

Pulsating through your veins
Sending me insane
A scent
For which I am bent

I yearn
for your blood
to burn

Dullness burning inside
Feeling disconnected, unwired
Unsure where my books pages shall roam
Not even a clue of where to call home

Roaming desolate plains of existence
Sating my thirst in the oasis of absence
Traversing the dunes of empty dreams
Venturing across our universes seams

Scaling volcanoes of reason
Only to find it's the wrong season
A crater of false hope
A blank canvas globe

Is there an ending to my extinguished flame
Will it reignite once again
Will purpose come knocking on my door
To show me the world once more

My dream is just this
Like a child's bedtime kiss
Send me on my way
Away from the world of yesterday

Penetrating affliction
Outsourcing addiction
Infectious incision
Soulless prison
Obnoxious affection
N**octurnal reflection

Through the whispers of the winds
I glide in to be heard
Then retreat to the shadows
Hidden in your words

Guitar string plucked, piano keys played
Penetrating heart and soul

Eating ice cream
When your sad
To send yourself into shivers
Matching the ice cold quaking
Of your ruptured heart

I reminis times of beauty
That we never truly had

My heart is a firework
And your kiss the flame
