Thank You
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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
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"

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

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

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.

As You Sleep

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

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

The Edge of a Kind Heart
Shannon Jeffery Aug 2014
Why do I continue
Allowing them to use me
Why do I smile
Through this wretched agony

They sit back and watch
As I do what they need
They sit back and laugh
As I break down and bleed

But I still insist
On helping the needy
But still I'm blind
To those who are greedy

I live off my kindness
And yet I'm breaking
To them I just a target
An advantage for the taking

The only home from the pain
Is when my ink hits the paper
Without this relief I'd go insane
Sometimes I wish I was just a vapor

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 :(

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

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

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.
