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

Unsuspecting Pals
Shannon Jeffery Dec 2014
There once
Was a dog
Named Benji

He'd never
Run out
Of energy

Until this one day
He found a friend to play
What could I say
He's a skunk named Trey

Now these two
Had so
Much fun

Together
They'd
Run and run

Until Trey let one rip
Poor Benji took a slip
Down Benji went for a kip

Trickery
Shannon Jeffery Feb 2015
Stuck down a hole
Wanting out of hell
Life throws a rope
To escape where you dwell

You take this chance
But you don't realize
Lost in a trance
Life's just full of lies

Climbing high
Only to see below
The rope you've climbed
Burning slow

You look above
To see how far you've come
The rope bearing thin
It's all ready to come undone

Life lit the end
And scarred the top
It'll laugh at you
Never to stop

One last thing
Life did say
Thanks for the fun
Let's play another day

By My Side
Shannon Jeffery Aug 2014
To those who have stood by my side
Who chose not to walk out the door
Fueling and enduring my whacky ride
Who knows what left we have in store

I'd like to begin with a big thank you
A loving hug and even a kiss too
You guys are my brick wall
Keeping my structure standing tall

Even when you're not around
You've kept my feet on the ground
Either you've all kept me sane
Or maybe together we're all going insane

But no matter how my journey ends
Remember forever we are the best of friends
Even through all the insanity
You are all still my family
For all those who have been there for me

First poem
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
My mind is filled with you.
My heart beats, every word you speak.
My soul has been awakened.
You're the sparkle in my eye.
The masterpiece of my gallery.
The everblooming rose of my garden.
Life is a rollercoaster ride
I want to share it with you.
My first poem I have written. About the person I love

Search For Words
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2015
I draw my pen
From its sheathe
Taking up my stance

Target now
Within my sight
I begin my advance

I reach into
The realm of dreams
In hope to retrieve my muse

Instead I draw
Upon cracked slates
Broken and abused

With each stroke of the pen
We adventure through
Your souls den
Allowing us to experience the world of you

Inspiration on Vacation
Shannon Jeffery Dec 2014
My inspiration
has gone walkabouts
My imagination
cleared right up

Each step I've taken
through inked meadows
Every wave I've surfed
of rhythmic flows

Did I take a wrong turn
or have I reached an end
Does my flame no longer burn
and will it ever mend

I look to my left
I look to my right
Only blankess to ingest
An empty night

I turn each page
Blank, unwritten
No where to engage
Inspiration has hidden
So hard to write, I miss writing but nothing inspiring me :(

Dream Dive
Shannon Jeffery Aug 2014
I lay my head, drifting....
To the land of dreams
A paradise of endless creating
A temporal displacement of the seams

A world of no boundaries
Plains of expansive imagination
Diving into an array of stories
A creative imagination invasion

Transcendent angels, greasy ghouls
Some dreams amazing, others well...
Nightmares trap our souls
Until an otherworldly bell tolls

Jarred and torn awake
Morning time already
Wishing it all fake
Missing my world of confetti

Mystical travels for my heart

Rickety works of my soul
Indented into my whole
Eager for creation of more
S**et sail for what's left in store

Where Are You?
Shannon Jeffery Oct 2014
Where does my heart lie
When I reach for the sky
Where will i find a love
When I search the stars above

Who will be that one
Who embraces me warm as the sun
Who will hold my heart
Who turns my life into art

How will I know
When her soul does glow
How will I see
When it shall be her and me

All I know is she's out there somewhere
Waiting for someone to care
I'll be here waiting, searching for a sign
To show me when I can call you mine

Lifted Weight
Shannon Jeffery Jun 2015
When ones soul can hold their heart
Warmth and compassion flows like art
Casting away all pain and sorrow
Able to stride through the misty shadow

Eyes now cleared of all stains
Light uncovers shaded plains
Existence floats right on through
Close in step you do too

Angel
Shannon Jeffery Feb 2015
Your eyes glow like the golden sun
Peering deep within my soul

As an angels harps hum

A touch of pure elegance
Sending rhythm to my heart
Your movement flows like gracious art
An angel sent from the heavens

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

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

In a world

So who's to justify
A definition of normality?
No one is "normal", so when you call someone weird or odd think about what one might say about you.

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

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

I Miss(Writing)
Shannon Jeffery Jan 2015
I miss the ink flowing
Freely from my pores
The harmonies which bellow
Transcending chords

I miss the meadows
Of pure emotions
The calling of my name
Over vibrant oceans

I miss the galleries
Of crystal reflections
The soul piercing
Tides of torn inception
I miss being able to enter worlds and write. Im so lost at the moment without them

Eternal Bonds
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2015
It is that one evening of the week
Time to draw the water from the well
For your village grows physically weak
Waiting for death to ring their bell

You drop the bucket into the abyss
To bring another week of crystal life
So no soul you will have to miss
In this ****** world of strife

As the line rises to its apex
Not a pinch of liquid
Not even a speck
Just an empty casing of wood

But in these moments of hard times
You remember the souls and hearts
That came together with joined hands
That dug this well and nailed in the parts

Today may not be the day
But together you shall stand strong as one
Again like before you'll join hands to pray
In hope that tommorow water shall come

Even if this breath may be the last
With your soul you'll inhale each memory
Remembering all the souls of your past
And become one with them for eternity

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

You say that you're fine
But I'll hold tight until the end of time
As the diamonds streak
Down your crimson cheeks
I'll catch every tear
Cause Daddy is here
I dunno didn't end up writing the way I expected, the reasoning behind title is....catching salty tears and holding tight like a clam holding sand and salty water inside.

Hello Poetry

Tired now,
Wanting to read more.
Hello Poetry please,
My eyes are getting sore.

Full of amazing poets
But it's 3:22 am.
I need my beauty sleep,
Drawn in "just another ten"

Ten what?
Ten minutes
Or ten poems?
When does it end?

I guess sometime
My brain will shutdown.
Hopefully I wake up in time
To see the daily poem crowned!
Hehe love you all too much I think

Random Rhyming
Shannon Jeffery Aug 2014
It's come to a point in time
For just some random rhymes
Rhyming in a random way
For when there isn't much to say

Just flow with your feelings
Let them bounce off the ceilings
It will roll off your tongue
It will be heard and be sung

It's not hard at all
Just try starting small
And the more you rhyme
Shall make it sublime

Enjoy each line
And every word you sign
Keep it with your heart
And it will flow into pure art

I didn't realise these demons existed
An infectious glaze inside my head
Black holes whirling, my mind twisted
Who am i with a heart coated in lead

Do I deceive myself
Have I lied my way through
My soul torn out and sat upon a shelf
In my reflection, all I can say is
"Who the **** are you"
**** just shoot me

can't think too clouded
can't breathe, chest bursting
can't see eyes blurring
may be called a fool
but I'm crazy for you
Just some incredible feelings I was having.
