Tears Of Passion
Simon Clark Aug 2012
A friend made me cry tears of passion,
Tears of love,
A friend made me pray to the heavens,
And believe in life above,
She took me to her bedroom,
She took me to the floor,
She took me to a special place,
I'd never been there before,
I kissed her body from head to toe,
I kissed back up again,
She swallowed all i had to give,
She enjoyed the intense heat then,
I ate her body,
I made her ***,
I ate her sweetness,
I made her run through my fingertips,
Covering every inch of me,
I'll kiss her in the morning,
She wake to the naked sight of me.

Forgive My Sins
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Forgive my sins when I die,
Let me rest in peace,
I only lived with my heart,
Found safety in all I did,
Forgive my sins when I die,
Let me sleep in calm,
I always lived with my soul,
Found safety from all my harm.

Paint A Black Mask
Simon Clark Aug 2012
I was in the corner of the club; alone,
Hiding in the shadows of the light,
Ensuring my secret remains unknown.

I paint a black mask around my face,
To blend to the background and hide my disgrace,
I paint a black mask around my soul,
To feel so forgotten and never consoled,
I paint a black mask around my heart,
To hold to the hatred and display my art.

I was in the corner of the club; crying,
Drowning under the weight of my truth,
As my secret takes its toll, I’m dying.

Leave Me Alone
Simon Clark Aug 2012
(Song title from Michael Jacksons’ catalogue, by Michael Jackson)

Those voices inside my mind still talk,
They say the things I try not to believe,
But it’s harder to fight them off,
I no longer have the power,
The bottle, the needle, the powder,
So they never leave me alone,
Invade my safety,
And chill me - thin to the bone.

Death Of A Star
Simon Clark Aug 2012
I often imagine that those I lose are up there,
Decorating the night sky,
Each a twinkling star,
A burst of fragrant light,
But still I know that eternity is rare,
Cause even stars have a lifeline,
This never seems to be fair,
To give up your world in mortal form,
To leave these lands and be reborn,
As a twinkling star,
But not be seen for you’ve travelled too far.

Presents
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Shiny paper and masses of ribbons,
Perfectly wrapped and lovingly given,
A sign of how much we love each other,
Mother and Father and Sister and Brother,
A gesture of kindness and of festive cheer,
A special occasion that comes but once a year.

Reflected Soldier
Simon Clark Aug 2012
I saw a soldier crying,
As i looked into the mirror,
Brave,
Proud,
Lost and cold.

An image of reflection,
Fighting battles the world can't see,
Scared,
Scarred,
Hurt and bold.

Tears falling from his cheekbones,
Pride gives way to the weight of pain,
Seen,
Been,
Heard and told.

At The End Of A Rainbow
Simon Clark Aug 2012
At the end of a rainbow lay a basket,
A basket full of eggs,
And in each egg lay a message,
'I died, I rose again to give you freedom,
To bring you Easter day'.

Clinging To A Thread
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Clinging to a thread of hope,
When the mirror cracked to shards,
And the broken branch on which I lean,
Has fallen to the lake,
Where muddy waters cover my view,
I'm lost,
Missing without a clue.

Evil Air
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Evil air gathers around my lungs,
The pressure of life upon my back,
A ten ton weight around my head,
The thoughts of longing and desperation,
Force me further to isolation,
Scared of the creator and of his creation.

Don't You See That I...You?
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Don't you see that I love you?
Soft smile or a cheeky grin,
A beautiful shell shielding the warmth within,
Don't you see that I love you?
Deep in thought with sparkling eyes,
A wondrous kiss that suffocates my sighs.

Don't you see that I need you?
Tender skin and forceful hands,
A passionate grip that I can understand,
Don't you see that I need you?
Trusting soul and open heart,
An enduring love that will never dare part.

Disease
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Is anyone else tired of saying goodbye?

Is anyone else tired of saying goodbye?

Understand more,
And stop the spread,
Scientists work hard,
To create a walking dead,
Rather walking and living,
Than gone and forgotten,
Rather see the sunshine,
Than be a corpse and rotten.

Is anyone else tired of saying goodbye?

Is anyone else tired of saying goodbye?

The Stars
Simon Clark Aug 2012
I look up to the night sky,
And am greeted by such a sight,
A celestial vision,
Basking in sacred light.

A smattering of unplanned dots,
They sparkle and shimmer,
Standing still in the same spot,
With a flowing, graceful glimmer.

I look up to the darkness,
And am swallowed by the abyss,
Magic vision of starlight,
Never felt quite like this.

What Is This Feeling?
Simon Clark Aug 2012
(Song title from “Wicked” by Stephen Schwartz)

I looked at him from across the room,
His eyes smiled,
A spark of tenderness hiding the gloom,
Number dialled.

Never felt such a feeling as this,
Scared by my mind,
What is this feeling of utter bliss?
True hearts are blind.

Writing My Life Away
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Hours, days and weeks,
Maybe even years,
Of writing down my joy and pain,
My ecstasy and tears,
Far too long have I grown so distanced,
An outsider looking for the next phrase,
Wanting to be accepted,
But denied the magic of praise.

Still I sit and write,
Words that I concoct,
Things that I never dare to share,
That, in my heart, stay locked,
Those utterances and emotions,
They’re never heard even when I pray,
Yet still I take this journey,
Roads of writing my life away.

Songs, lyrics, poetry,
Prose, sonnets and plays,
Just watch me try,
Endeavour to write my life away.

I Have A Love
Simon Clark Aug 2012
(Song title from “West Side Story” by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim)

My heart is lighter than air,
For I have found a special heart,
An everlasting beating,
From which I’ll never part,
For I have a love that flows deep to my core.

(Song title from Michael Jacksons’ catalogue, by Thom Bell and Linda Creed)

I have felt lonely and scared,

And been so happy, it’s true,
And all because I have found,
People make the world go ‘round.

The Lady In My Life
Simon Clark Aug 2012
(Song title from Michael Jacksons’ catalogue, by R. Temperton)

Eyes like deep pools of summer,

Skin like porcelain perfection,
Body that dreams are made on,
She’s the lady in my life,
Fantasy,
Safety from pain and strife.

The comfort and the pleasure,
The joy of life to live.

Travelin' Blues
Simon Clark Aug 2012
(Song title from Blind Willie McTell’s catalogue, by McTell)

On and on and on I walk,
Down roads which have no end,
I hope to arrive at my home,
Across the street, round the bend,
But on and on and on I go,
Until my hope’s depleted,
Suffering from the travelin’ blues,
I lay my head down; defeated.

The Grave
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Lay flowers at the grave,
Where bones and dirt entwine,
No soul,
No life,
Nothing there but decay.

A place for me to cry,
Sit silent with my thoughts,
Ceaseless,
Pointless,
Alone with memories.

Wonder if you miss me,
As i rest below the tree,
Alone,
Afraid,
Empty as this bottle.

Nature Kills
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Cross the river, jump the stream,
Lean over and walk beyond the leaf,
As the vines capture your heart,
They strangle the emotion away,
Pained and tortured by life.

See just how the sky falls down,
As the moon ships out of town,
While the frog makes its own crown,
I'm slowly dying,
I'm slowly dying,
My soul is crying,
My soul is crying,
Nature kills,
Nature kills.

I look at paintings on the walls,
Some big and some small,
Each tells a story of light and dark,
Each tells the story of a type of heart,
Be it broken,
Be it fixed,
Be it mending,
Be it in bits,
I look at paintings on the walls,
Some bright and some dull,
Each tells a story of life and death,
Each tells the story of their own journey,
Be it bumpy,
Be it slick,
Be it punishing,
Be it in bliss,
I look at paintings on the wall,
But still i can't see,
Where is the one that stares back at me?

Burn Me
Simon Clark Aug 2012
I ask you to burn me because it’s hard to dream,
Now that you’ve departed and gone to heavens door,
My heart is full of anguish and my throat full of screams,
It’s an easy option to die for the reality is hard to ignore.

I ask you to burn me because it’s hard to breathe,
My lungs have collapsed, my soul snapped under the strain,
Breaking under the raging tears my blood starts to seethe,
A torturous amount of pain deep within that you never could preordain.

Infected World

The world is only diseased,

Say your farewells,
Hold your breath,
Close your eyes,
Say your goodbyes.

Colours That Sing
Simon Clark Aug 2012
My eyes are red from weeping,
And my skin has wrinkled under the strain,
Of stopping teardrops from taking their deadly fall,
From the cheek to the muddy ground beneath,
Where i place this wreath,
With colours that sing of you when i see them,
Green for the emerald in your eyes,
Pink for the tender lips i pressed to mine,
Yellow for the dress that you wore when first we danced,
And red for the warmth in your smile when we took that chance.

Hard boiled,
Shell sturdy and strong,
Painted pattern filled pictures,
Roll on down,

Down the hill to the bottom,
Cracking and breaking,
Laughing and smiling,
Cruelty or pleasure?
Easter of enjoyment,
Roll those eggs,
Keep on rolling,
Keep on rolling.

Give In To Me
Simon Clark Aug 2012
(Song title from Michael Jacksons’ catalogue, by Jackson and Bottrell)

I need you to give in to me sometimes,
I need to win the day from time to time,
I can’t always be wrong,
It’s the same old argument,
Same old song.

I need you to give in to me sometimes,
I need to win the day from time to time,
I can’t always pretend,
I just can’t see this one through,
Just can’t mend.

Millennium

We lay beneath the moonlit sky,
And count down the minutes,
Until we enter the millennium,

We lay beneath the moonlit cloak,
And enjoy the seconds,
Before we cross to the millennium,
Forever as one,
No troubles - none.

A Parents' Grief
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Looking into numb eyes,
Lifeless eyes of youth,
It’s wrong,

Unimaginable pain,
Like shards of glass as falling rain,
Cutting deeper,
Cutting pieces away,
No parent should feel this way,
But fragments of their beating heart,
Just slowly trickle away.

In the ever-after we’ll be free in all we do,
In the ever-after I’ll be happy; I’ll be with you,

I’ll wait for you in an orchard of gold,

Come And See It Now
Simon Clark Aug 2012
I DEDICATE THIS POEM TO ALL VICTIMS OF ALL THE WARS AROUND THE WORLD

Have you seen the stain that the tear left upon his cheek?
It's crimson like the blood his father bled,
And the tear will keep on falling like the agony in his head.

Have you heard the cry from the mouth of a girl in pain?
It's as shrill as the screams of dying men,
And the cry will keep on coming like all the soldiers from their den.

Have you felt the chill upon a new born baby's skin?
It's frozen like the memory of sin,
And the chill will remain forever like the marks of where we've been.

Have you smelt the dying flower that danced on the grain?
It's rotten like the marching off to war,
And the smell will remain forever in the marrow of my core.

Have you tasted raindrops falling on the young boys grave?
It's sour like the meaning of the cause,
And the taste will last eternally shadowed by shallow applause.

So come and see the death we taste,
So come and see it now,
So come and see the life we take,
So come and see it now.

Will you be right here?

Will you hold onto me?
Will feel the pulse drain from my body?
Will you be there at the end?

My life is a painting you may want to touch,
You'll feel my root,
You'll feel my core,
You'll feel the sin that disguises far too much.

My life is a song that you may want to hear,
You'll hear my pain,
You'll hear my love,
You'll hear the trembling of my skin as it shakes in fear.

Paint me a picture of the inside of my soul,
Using only gray and black,
Ceaseless darkness and dreary coals.

To hide the man that dwells in pain.

Paint me a picture of a castle standing proud,
Its ruined structure still bold,
More dignity than I'm allowed.

Mourning
Simon Clark Aug 2012
A cycle of emotions that I don’t comprehend,
One feeling has passed and another descends,
From anger to sadness to fear and frustration,
To loneliness and madness, grief and devastation,
You lose a friend, a lover, a child, a relation,
The feelings of mourning create horrid sensations,
I’m chilled to the bone by my feelings of hurt,
I kneel and pray with my hands buried in dirt,
I try to drag you from the ground back to my side,
The soil is sludge from every blue tear I’ve cried,
As I cope with missing you someone else will depart,
I hope I’m prepared in my heart; prepared for the cycle to start.

Graceful through the gates I go not screaming and kicking,
I know the haven is heaven,
The number on the door is my lucky number seven.
