A Poets Love
Shannon Jeffery Aug 2014
I am a poet
And you are my canvas
My blood is the ink
And you are my paper

Our hearts beat as one
As each stanza flows
Our souls intertwined
In words no one else knows

You are my dream
A poem meant to be
With each stroke of my pen
I now set you free

Feelings
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
heart's beating
blood's pumping
head's spinning
nerves spiking
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.

Bloom in Time
Shannon Jeffery Aug 2014
The airs chilling howl
Screaming its sorrows
The skies thundering cry
Draining its eyes dry

Pain flows along the winds
Coarsing our skin
Drowning in the tears
Chilling to the vein

But behind all this pain
I see cheerful times
Plants are blooming
In the wind the tree chimes

Birds are now chirping
The sun poking his eye
Through a tear in the grey mask
Mask fading, uncovering the sky

Untitled(explicit)
Shannon Jeffery Jan 2015
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

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 Pearl
Shannon Jeffery Feb 2015
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.

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

Soaked in Madness(10w)
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Boundless imagination soaked in madness
Vast worlds of creation, endless
Shannon Jeffery Oct 2014
As I march through the gates of hell
Into the fields of harvested evil
The scents of an impure presence
Envelops the nostrils with vile essence

I stride up to the devil himself
"Lucifer.. your reign.. is filth!"
He glares at me with an evil grin
"So you're the one.. giving a new name to sin"

Face to face, eye to eye
This is where our destinies lie
"Your time is up, your rule is done.
I shall not rest until the throne is won"


"You impudent fool, a stained halfbreed.
You're not worthy to lead"

*"HA...Stained? No, you Satan
Are stained by your love for a human.
Come on father, don't you see
This is inevitable, our destiny"

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.

Nature's Hum

Wind gliding through trees
Leaves whistling in the breeze
Diamond river trickling with ease
Rays of a warm beating sun

Unravelling
Shannon Jeffery Jan 2015
Sometimes poetry unravels
From my mind
Like your glowing eyes
Radiating through my heart

But sometimes it hides away
In the eerie darkness
Like you encasing your heart
In the depths of sorrows

Tempered moments creating
Intricate layers
Manufactured gears rotating
Effortless chaos
Shannon Jeffery Nov 2014
I see children on the streets.
The looks on their faces, ever sweet.
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad,
Sometimes joyous and sometimes mad.
I can't wait for the day I'm a dad.

Running through each moment
Showing all their life, they own it.
Sometimes they'll get into the rough.
Though through each experience they'll learn when enough is enough.
I know the life of parent can surely be tough.

We need to let them live and let them explore.
Or they might never find their inner roar.
There is one thing I'll give my children from the very start,
And that is all the love from my heart.
Parenting is a special kind of art.
I tip my hat to all parents, I know its a rough job but it is well worth the trouble. I have "played" the dad role before but honestly can't wait to have my own family.

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
317 · Oct 2014
Times of Pain
Shannon Jeffery Oct 2014
Stuck in moments of pain and grief
Getting by only through gritting teeth
Smiling through river eyes
Hoping for a journey set for the skies

I know these moments shall pass
Likely slow but hoping fast
Though there's pain time shall heal
As long as my soul it does not steal
315 · Dec 2014
Crowded Loneliness
Shannon Jeffery Dec 2014
The echoes of whispers
Projecting through the chasms of my mind
Smiles and laughter plastered across my walls inside
Amongst all this commotion, loneliness is all you'll find

That moment of true realisation that you're all alone
When you scuttle through the crowds
In hope that your vital signs
Have not yet been shown

The aching fades as I steer the shadows
A beating heart oozing, drying away the flooded gaze of piercing eyes
My soul traverses toxic shallows
For lost silence is now my prize

Words(Joe Cole Challenge)
Shannon Jeffery Sep 2014
Words
A marvelous creation
A form of communication
To illustrate our imagination

Travelling like the song of birds
But be careful with words
They can be as sharp as swords

With words we all empower
Even if words become sour
Learn not to cower
For they will help you flower

Forever In Love
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
To the one I'm am forever in love
I feel I could fly above, like a turtle dove
My heart sings for you my angel
oh that heart of yours, so confused I tell
Sorry for the caging, for I was to engaging.
I know what I have caused, for now I have paused.
For you my heart is stuck, my heads a little amuck.
I will let go of my dream, as much as my eyes stream.
Forever I love you, for my heart and soul is your crew.
My heart is my identity, but I'll leave it up to destiny.
For you, I'd say......I DO.

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

I lie awake as you sleep
I imagine you dreaming
My soul watching over you
Guarding your dreams
I lay here wishing to tuck you in
To kiss you and wish you good night
Sleep well, Sweet dreams my gorgeous Angel
My heart lay next you yours
Holding you tight.

how I wish I could be there
I miss you, I love you

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

Everlong Muse
Shannon Jeffery Aug 2014
The hymn you play
Breaks my wall down
Your graceful serenade
Sends me flying from the ground

Floating on the clouds
You play my heart strings
You know all my sounds
Enveloping my surroundings

My heart mused by yours
Every beat for you soars
Soul dancing to your song
To your beat I'll listen everlong

Shattering Souls
Shannon Jeffery Aug 2014
I lay here watching as the sands of time run from your eyes.
Helplessly I wait as your soul cracks,
Spindling a spiders web on the verge of shattering

My inner core carved from the glass of your broken sorrows.
Deep in every crevice of your veins,
You begin to bleed dry.

I hear your screams of wondering why.
I try to absorb some of your pain,
But all it does is drown me in a devouring sludge,
Trying to consume us both.

I wish to caress your feint beating heart,
But you can't hear my words or feel my touch through the shattering breeze of a dreaded distance
Feeling broken inside, because unable to help someone I care dearly about and distance restricts as they are slowly being torn apart :(

Falling Beside Destiny
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
Falling, Falling further into dream
How I adore your gorgeous soul
your engaging smile supreme
My heart an soul are now so whole.

I'm carrying you up a grassy hill
every step I take, the closer I come to wake
Heart stops, down my spine, oh the chill.
Tears fall, I begin to shudder and shake.

Now I begin to question.
Can I make your dreams come true?
I put myself through damnation.
Am I the one for you?

I tell myself "Stand strong"
All I know is your my one and only
Even if my love is wrong
I'll fight for you baby.

I fall back to sleep, I begin the climb again
with you in my arms, I climb all the way
At the top I rest you down, this time no pain
I kiss you and say "I love you", my love will never stray.

In my heart you'll be mine forever
Even if we are never to be
My heart and soul shall never sever.
What ever happens is just destiny.

Until I'm dead

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

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

Shannon Jeffery Dec 2014
I dream of a day
When im not alone
A day where I smile
A memory set in stone

I wish for a moment
That let's my heart sing
Just a moment I'll remember
All I ask is that one thing

But for now
Each day I'll cry
Hoping for my wish
Before the day I die

never broken nor alone.
You're my guardian angel, my heaven.
I will be your rock even if broken.
forever my heart, your token
the least I can give
for aslong as we love and live.
Dedicated to my wonderful mother and grandmother

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

In Tough Times
Shannon Jeffery Sep 2014
When times are tough
And things get rough
Remember your story
You've fought for glory

Your moment is never over
You are your own four-leaf clover
No matter how hard or how far
Your journey may be, you're still a star

just do your best
And time will do the rest
Enjoy each moment
For only one life you are sent
Just be yourself and remember you're the star of your own life

Road to Wisdom
Shannon Jeffery Oct 2014
The road to wisdom
Travels mountains of pain
And valleys of sorrow
A journey through torrential rain

Waltzing fields of joy
Gracious gardens of love
Floating through clouded skies
Getting lost in the stars above

Fighting demons from east to west
Meeting angels north to south
Experiencing more than the best
Flavours of life resting in mouth

Will you lay and wait
In a shackled prison
Or will you  make it count
And take your journey to wisdom
Just my take on the road to wisdom, you need to experience to learn and gain no matter how bad or good the situation is. You will always gain new knowledge from every moment
