Travelling Ink
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
I've decided to go on a holiday
Take a trip not so far away
I hike across the paper grass
An ink lake I almost pass

I dive right on in
Now ink stained veins
I travel across vast mountains
Trailing behind an ink river

Forming the ups and downs
The rolls and spins around
Dizzy I fall upon wet grounds
Tweeting of a pen birds sound

This is where you'll find me
Upon an ink stained paper grass sea

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

Mother
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
Mother
mum
for the days we spent together
I will remember forever
My heart is sealed to yours
Love so deep, touches our cores.
forever my heart will be your stone
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

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

Summer Sunset
Shannon Jeffery Jan 2015
As I float across the cosmos
Pleasantly with ease
Upon my face with a gentle kiss
From a summers breeze

Laying on the warm sand
In which gently I settle my feet
As waves wash over me
Where land and water meet

A vibrant paradise
Of silent bliss
A moment I
Would never miss

With my thoughts all a mess

Imagination whirling
On turntables inside
And all I can come up with
Is this repeated style of write

Lost In You
Shannon Jeffery Nov 2014
Drifting in the arms of an angel
Gracefully floating across the seas
Gleaming stars shimmering above
Resting my lonesome soul at ease

Your whispers melt away my armor
Invading with a soft sweet aroma
My heart beats to your every breath
Diving deeper and deeper into my depths

Paradise of Lies
Shannon Jeffery Oct 2014
We live in a paradise of lies
That sets our hearts on fire
It sets us to reach for the skies.

I sit upon my perch
Watching others rub
Their noses in dirt

Life has twisted so much
That all is seen is makeup
Just a powdered finishing touch

In a paradise of lies
That sets our hearts on fire
It's what sets us to reach for the skies

If one was to speak the truth
You'd be cast aside
Might even lose a tooth

So be careful where you tread
For the blooming rose has its thorns
For you never know what's truly been said

Sitting in a paradise of lies
Is what sets our hearts on fire
The day has come where truth dies

Time
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
Time, what is time
time is a measurement
  a measurement to restrict.
We live within time
time controls our daily life
  we fight against the clock.
Time is a human creation
free yourself of human chains
  and learn to live as one.
Only then will one truly understand.

Random (Thoughts?)

A flower doesn't
bloom in an instant

Animals master survival,

"Normal" a rating
Created by majority
Just some random things that put ideas in my head

Eternal Time
Shannon Jeffery Sep 2014
Time
Time and time again
We worship and fear time itself
But little do most realise
That time is just
A mathematical equation
To secure us into a chain
Giving us the idea of an end

Time
Time is made of numbers upon numbers
Just think for one moment
Numbers have an infinite value
Therefore numbers can reach
an infinite decimal place

Time
If we take this all into account
For it may feel faster than it seems
But we are eternal
For time is just numbers
In which we tried to cage
The life of each being

Time
An endless restriction
If trapped in the box
Or an eternity
Of exploration
Just a little mind **** about time. Dont live within time as a restriction. Live side by side as an ally and learn and explore what you can

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

No more shall I
Weigh down anyone
I will show you
How strong I've become

I've got two hands
And two feet
I've got a brain
And my own heart beat

I'll show the world
Who I am
So you better look out
Cause I've got a plan

Who Am I?
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
Now the question we all like to ask
is who am I and what to be?
The answer to this question
isn't one to find.
For all I know is I am me.
and life will take me where I'm meant to be
Life is like a train,
from which you will have a ton to gain.
The travel that which we all take
may just make your soul quake
The long and windy path we are taken
will have us all awaken
For we may not understand
the end that is to come will be oh so grand.
The answer to the question is as simple as one..two..three
who am I? I am me

My Love
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Staring deep into her eyes
Nights just whisk bye
Her smile is the sun to my day
A little flick to ease my pains away

Her words serenade my ears
Whistling away all my deep fears
She is the yin to my yang
The lullaby my heart sang

The flicker in her eyes
Light up the starry night skies
She cherishes my heart so
A blooming garden does grow

She is my sunshine
My dripping rain
A love to last the end of time
A ride on a bumpy train

Slaves for Green
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
Torn and breaking
Worn and aching
Sleeping with eyes wide open
Nerves creaking, inside broken

Pushed to the limits
Barely pulling through it
Body feels its going to snap
All for that green crap

Greedy rich men drawing us in
For we need to survive
Waving green, we're worshipping
Feeding on us barely alive

Missing You
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
I miss you with my heart
for the days been long apart
I miss your piercing smile
it will still be awhile
I will never stop the fight
you're all of think of day and night
You have unlocked my soul
caused me to feel whole
I'm drifting through the day
thinking, waiting for the way
The day sure will arrive
so for this I will strive
I'm missing you.

Plains of Void
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
Here I am once again
In a place I know to well
Perched upon the blank plain
I imagine it worse than hell

It seems I have left but a speck
Of imagination for possible creation
I say to myself "it will return, just give it a sec"
My mind full of nothing, the void invasion

Every time I return to the absence
It draws me in deeper, draining
My thoughts, causing the loss of sense
My dreams and hopes it's consuming

Will I escape this time
Will I ever create another rhyme
Or will my thoughts be silent as a mime
NO, this is just an obstacle I shall climb

I will make it out alive
My inspiration shall kick in
So for this I shall strive
Splash this void with creation and win

Our Angel
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
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
