I am starting afresh, starting new,
not with the many, only with a few.
I left behind what did not grow,
held the door open, asked them to go.

For this year, my head is very clear,
who doesn't uplift you, really ain't your dear.
For this year, my heart is very aligned,
who is not kind, really ain't worth your time.

I always thought it would be you
We would sit on the sofa wrapped in each other's arms as we watched the ball drop
I would feel you lips on mine like the fireworks they always were
Welcoming in a new year
But here I am
Alone once more
Watching movies and writing poems about someone I no longer love
For not the first time in my life I wish soulmates existed
Maybe then I would have been spared
Maybe I would still believe in love
Maybe I would instead be filled with wishes instead of bitterness
Maybe I would still want a New Years Kiss

Another wilted year went by
Hello brings hope for fresh blossoms
Weeds overgrown of yesteryear brought pain
Comfort is yearning that 2019 blasts off
On a garden of angels
Devils you be mute
Voices of evil you be lost
Find me my angels waking me up
Down wind of the albatross' wrath
Hoping angels wing now take flight on this New Year Eve
Dawn's a be a new year, a new light
Heavy are my steps as I knock on the
door

NEW

Hello, fellow Hello poetry poets.
I hope that you all had wonderful New Year celebrations,
and I just want to say Happy New Year to each and every one of you that decide to read this.
Hellopoetry has been a big part of my life through 2018 I didn't expect too much when I came here I was actually introduced to this site or platform through a friend of mine.
He told me about it so that I could put my lyrics out there and share them with people who would appreciate the works that I had created just as much as I do. And I will be forever grateful for that advise.
Because when I came here I found people with a pure passion for the art of poetry and writing.
Now on to you my fellow poets, I just want to say a huge thank you to anybody who took time out of there lives to comment, like, etc on any of my material, I do not take what anybody has to say for granted.
2018 has been a big year of growth for me
I've learned to fight for my beliefs
Push boundaries as far as I possibly can
And I have so much more room to grow and so much more boundaries to push through this new year in 2019
Seriously Hellopoetry, You guys have all been great and supportive
An extra special thanks to Sue, for your kind messages and support
And you also inspired me to write probably one of my favourite pieces I have ever written called "Challenge Accepted"
And a big highlight for me was also getting The daily.
That really was an honour.
Once again a big thank you to everyone
I'm looking forward to more mind-blowing pieces of art created by this community, may you all have a prosperous year full of growth, kindness and love and I look forward to sharing more lyrics/poetry or whatever this brain tends to conjure and share within the near future

Peace Out
Much Love
Benji.

the silent white flakes
fall on december ground -
happy new year
