Roamed, rode the road before, with the same air around,
Grouped with the same feeling but the journey this time was straight and found,
Fiery and feisty was the path that led to the shine,
I was on the path until I saw a shrine.

Met a man, without a name, with his head covered with snow,
I kept on wondering as to why he was carrying a glow.

Lived in the shrine around that holy road,
So far away from the rest that along many miles no one could be heard.

Took my time and stayed at the shrine for the night,
Unknown to what was there under his mighty plight,
Brought on to the table, the book, along with his pipe,
Kept a piece of bread, and sat along with his dignity and pride.

Picture this, old rusted, dusty, worned off,
Book was heavy but it carried a strange light.


Turned the page and found out was carrying my name,
With every single page carried my glory and fame,
Stored and lost in those pages, wandered,
Who was this old man, and what is this shrine I started to wonder.

Moved on to every page and found out the turn of events,
Till I reach the page which told about the old man , his shrine and waited for a further advent,
The pages were blank, fresh, waiting to be written,
Confused and bound, I must be mistaken.

The old man stood up, gave me keys and said,
I’m the One, who doesn't belong here,
I write the rules, those which I never share’.

For it was time to march forward,
Because he had to write what I was supposed to do and moved on.
Returned back on the same old road to find a sign,
“He was never here”
Carrying a smile, Roamed, rode the road before, with the same air around,

they were
cape town passengers

and fated
wide eyed dreamers

who turned to
tongue tied lovers

back to
brown eyed strangers

I wake up at night
knowing it can be accomplished
For what I plan to achieve
cannot be abolished
It must stay clean
and always polished
For I know my dream
cannot be demolished
I wait endlessly
til it comes true
Because I know
over the years that it grew
Its all worth it
worth the while
Til the day
that I can truly smile
The day it awakens
seems like miles
The day I will create
my own styles
The wait is so long
but I'm so close
So many things can go wrong
but I'll still make a toast
I know its still there
I feel it within me
The lock can be opened
for I have the key
But what if
just what if it doesn't workout
I'll be dripping in tears
and everything else will burnout
Just remember that
everything isn't how it seems
One day
I'll be living out my dreams
Your are the only key you need to unlocking your own dreams.

I'm not one for reality
Like so many humans with their mortality
My heads in the clouds
My brain is so loud
But really thats just a technicality

Even at my age,
I see mountainous lands in the sky,
Languishing among towering clouds,
A lofty empire, lost kingdoms,
Perhaps a strange magical realm,
Thriving with dwarves and giants,
Maidens in towers awaiting rescue,
Where lone horse warriors wander,
Maybe observing us, far below.

Must be a poetic creative thing,
Or simply the child deep within,
Viewing through the eyes of the man,
Dreaming ancient days of long ago,
When the child yearned to be grown,
To know all there is to know,
Never appreciating escapism,
The chance to drift within time,
Ponder upon distant, aerial, worlds.

Or maybe I’m just a dreamer,
That and nothing more, hmm,
Telling myself, I am a poet,
A procrastinating creative spirit,
In love with the trappings of art,
The child asleep within wisdom,
Languishing among towering clouds,
I see mountainous lands in the sky,
Even at my age.

I love you indefinitely, but I especially love you at 2am.

This is my favorite hour with you.
This is my favorite version of you.

With your hands swimming in a sea of sheets
unaware that they are searching for a home between mine,
our fingers lock like little magnets.

Where do you go my love?

Do you take me with you?
Alan S Bailey Mar 2015
A person can speak a thousand words
And still fall short of grand or ill works,
Listen well if you will, these may in fact
Be my last statements,
Should I die tomorrow,
Next week,
Next month,
Next year or in decades,
I've written all you can withstand,
Expressed my feelings too soon.
Why should you need to care? I'll write letters of
Apology, sent via telegram from the moon.
This poem speaks words itself, those that I can never get out of my head.

Odd
The sky always kept its word
She had seen Jupiter's approach,
Her nights lay heavy across the sky
She giggled, she daydreamed
She was odd.
