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
Shannon Jeffery Sep 2014
For those who don't like poetry,
Think it's just words jumbled in.
You're only reading
The first layer, the skin.

Take some time to understand
That our heart and souls
Are engraved into every word,
Poems are our crown jewels

You may have a passion for sport
Or even racing cars.
I hope your catching my drift
For we all look to the stars.

Try digging to the deeper layers,
You might find yourself gliding
Across plains or an ocean,
But no matter what I'll continue writing
Shannon Jeffery Dec 2014
Somehow
you found a crack
In my impenetrable wall
and just
slipped right on in
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
Direct
Entanglement of
Scripted
Time
Intertwined in
Natures
Y**outh
Just an interesting perspective of life. I don't know if I believe in destiny myself but thought I'd write on it. :)
Shannon Jeffery Jan 2015
You chew me up
And spit me out
I'll come back with
A different flavor
Shannon Jeffery Dec 2014
The narrow minded
Don't seem to understand
Qualities of difference
Having your toes in the sand

If you do not
As majority does
Then you are backwards
A spanner in the works
A fuzz

Being different
Is exciting
The feelings of adventure
Forever inviting

Embrace the fact
That the way you act
Maybe out of the blue
But that's the uniqueness
Of being you
Majority rules is a load of crap to me, in some situations I guess it works but for being human and creative it's a ******* call
Shannon Jeffery Feb 2015
Upon this canvas
I'll etch my soul
Dispersing into ink
Shannon Jeffery Dec 2014
Having you in my arms
Is just perfect to me
I don't need a special location/time. Anything is perfect as long as my love is in my arms. I don't care what we are doing :)
For I would just be getting lost in your eyes, voice and thoughts
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
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
Shannon Jeffery Feb 2015
I've lost love
For dreaming
Can't reach
The stars above
Shannon Jeffery Jan 2015
Follow your hearts wildest dreams
Across streams
Of imaginations seams
Shannon Jeffery Oct 2014
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
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
Drift from Reality, Live the Imaginary
Shannon Jeffery Feb 2015
Drowning in the blood
Siphoned from my wrists
Dried to the bone
To never be missed
Shannon Jeffery Jan 2015
Her eyes
My fountain of youth
Her kiss
A touch of death
Her touch
An escape from reality
Her song
Slips me into insanity
Shannon Jeffery Jan 2015
My will, strong as rock
Endures the test of time

White Blank Canvas
Thoughts Flooded With Void
An Empty Madness
Drained And Annoyed

Lost For Creation
Searching, Searching
**** This Frustration
Where Are You Hiding

Please End This Game
You Win, Come Out
Arc Up, Take Aim
Let The World Hear Your Shout
How I feel when my imagination shuts down. :|
Shannon Jeffery Dec 2014
My heart
Is a set of wings
Beating across the sky
Your words
Entice my inner will
Captivating my soul
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2015
Life is taken by time
Time is taken by living
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
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
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
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
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
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Beyond the horizon I explore
Above seven seas I soar
Shannon Jeffery Dec 2014
My heart is a firework
And your kiss the flame
Shannon Jeffery Jan 2015
Mirrors reflecting
The cages within
Truth behind
Curtains of sin

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.
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
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
Family bound together forever.
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.
Shannon Jeffery Feb 2015
Frightened of your own shadows
Encasing yourself within your
Abyss of a
R**efined self damnation
Shannon Jeffery Feb 2015
A predator takes pride
In eviscerating its prey
Draining away its life
As it slowly plays
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.
Shannon Jeffery Feb 2015
There's brutality
Against crazy
For normality
But to lazy
For equality
So tell me
The totality
Which you see
In your insecurity
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
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2016
An Electric Gaze
To Kick Start
A Razed
Rustic Heart
Shannon Jeffery Jun 2015
Well here we are with an odd little start
Just feeling free flowing from part to part
Don't you just love these moments in time
When the idea of fate just slips from mind

Like all existence fades into one
When all knots and ties just become undone
With sun warmth on face at times of night
Even the darkest of shadows see this light

When your weightless gliding on through space
Even though gravity holds you right in place
Moments stand still but gone in instants
That moment of harmony within existence
Shannon Jeffery Sep 2014
Shattered glass merging
With crystal rains
Flowing colors through surging
Diamonds like perfect a quatrain
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2015
Your scent circles me
Draining my sanity
Drawing me in with a sirens song
But these urges could never be more wrong

If I were to take one nip
Of your luscious soul
Within but a click
I'd engulf you whole

I hate you, no
That is a lie
I hate that you don't know
You're going to taunt me until the day I die

You're within but a fingers reach
Hidden inside forbidden
The fruit of pure sweet, forever untouched
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.
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
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Freedom, what is freedom?
We believe freedom is being
Able to do whatever we like with
No restrictions. Quite intriguing

If you had no restriction
What would you do
With this so called freedom
The idea of peace would be lost too

True freedom is not
Doing whatever you like
It is not riding the streets
Being crazy on your motorbike

That is just madness
Pure insanity
True freedom we all already have
And of this we do have plenty

Freedom is speaking
What you believe
Understanding the consequences
In which you retrieve

Freedom is sharing your heart
And sharing your soul
No matter what others think
Don't be shy, it is time to fill that hole

Stand up and be yourself
Dare to dream worlds
Do not be afraid
Of other cutting words

Be free as an eagle soaring
As free as a dolphin gliding
As free as a lion roaring
Freedom a glory for your taking
Shannon Jeffery Oct 2014
Freedom resides in my dreams
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
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
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
A Beautiful Day
It Has Been
But Sadly Now
Comes To End
To All Goodnight
Have Sweet Dreams
And Sleep Tight
Shannon Jeffery Sep 2014
Who is it that silently
Stole my heart
Who laced their seal
Upon my chest

No one I meet
Sparks a second beat
Blind to all
Except the graceful thief

Your breathe on the air
Into the sky I stare
Imagining where you lay
Waiting for that one special day
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2015
With a gentle touch
And eyes so kind
With a soft sweet voice
And a vibrant mind

You heal the weak
With your broken soul
You repair their pieces
So you can feel whole

Your heart shall lay
Upon destinies gate
Protected by an aura
Of all love and fate

For every teardrop
Another's heart shall rise
Your soul buries their burdens
And carries their heart to the skies

If only your mirror
Reflected this upon you
Maybe your time
Wouldn't be up so soon
Shannon Jeffery Jan 2015
Accentuating
Your breathing, tuning the beats
Of my aching heart
So this is my first ever haiku. I'm not sure on a title nor if this is in correct format.

Syllables are 5-7-5
Shannon Jeffery Jan 2015
Internally numb
Crimson tears fall with each stroke
Searching for freedom
