Raindrop


From the sky I fall forever;
Warp speed, light years, I can fly!
Further down I plummet towards you,
Through the wings of a butterfly.
Forever falling, sweat is pouring;
Silence is golden to the eagle at my side.


Faster, faster I travel along;
The new born sun shows rainbow blood.
It’s cold up here; I am going for a free falling song!
But the words do not mention what I have become
And what I will become.


Inside a sunbeam I disappeared.  
They dropped me off a cloud
And now my destiny is beckoning me to come down here.
And then with a crash, I splish! I splash!
I change into a vast ocean mass.


Now I am surrounded by H2O;
I have a place I can feel at home.
Through endless currents, I float along.


I cannot swim, but I can adapt.
I am a raindrop no more; I have become an ocean.
I told you I would be back.

Poem number 1000 – Part One. – It has no name.


Wings of purest silver, halo of gold;
Stand and I will deliver, for a soul I require a soul.
Forever rolling fields of the green, green grass of home;
A clone never feels alone, in a world full of clones.


Follow the star in your brand new car;
All that we are is loved in the dark.
Sanctity exists, if we believe in it;
Without a God to blame or praise, we would remain gifted.


Youth has come and gone too fast for us all;
In the end we find a way, to walk through walls.

Let me entertain you.


A white house at the top of a hill.
A walled off road with advertisements.
Moving forward; no desire to remain still.
Although I rise each day, I am not your entertainment.


Same story repeats on the TV.
Eat, pray, love is repeating.
Tell me what life is meant to be.
Follow the arrows to eating.


Walls without colour.
Floor and ceiling the same.
You choose the music; life is your game.
Yes, no or maybe, doesn’t sound like ok.
It sounds like apathy, so do not be late.


See you later; or maybe not.
Au Revoir, or dot, dot, dot.
Book an appointment with a book.
Life is ordinary, except for when it is not.
Open the door, or window lock.
Look!
Same old faces;
Dot, dot, dot.

Legacy


It depends if you believe.  Do you believe?
Are you man or mouse?
Do you need machine, or cheese?  
Do you believe?


Part man, part machine;
Work hard to build dreams.
Do multiple things in all directions.
Self-taught introspection, lead to reflection
And change was sought and found beneath the wings.


Now flying high upon the light,
I cast into darkness all which would bind
And without thought I create lines,
To lead the way towards the light,
For under sunlight only darkness shines
And all are blind to what is and what it could be.


So stand in front of me, or stand aside,
For I am continuing and all in my way will be left to grieve,
The reprieve I offered without deceit.
As Queendoms crumble, knights are once more seen to ride,
Upon the backs of beasts.
Dragons fly and fire is breathed,
Upon the darkness to create light.


We are all blind to any light
And from the ashes they return.
Where fires burn,
Footsteps are heard.
No longer feared,
For sights have been seen of a thousand cheers.


In morning light at the castle keep,
The flag a-flying to ward off evil spirits,
For death is trying to cross the draw bridge,
With calls aplenty; but those without knowledge,
Can never get in and as the thunder howls
And lightning strikes,
Workers unite and go on strike,
Until such change has come to replace,
The cracking sound under sparkling lights.


Some are left without a trace,
While others leave a lasting legacy.
Some are remembered, some soon forgotten.
Which is it to be?
When you are gone, what will you leave?
And what is it you think you take,
When your name is engraved upon the grave?

Home is where the start is.


I am planting seeds for us to grow our tree house.
I am retiring from The Rolling Stones to protect our castle keep.
I am trying to become a lion instead of a mouse.
All these things I do because I want my wife to find me at my best…
Wherever she (may be).


The two of us have not yet met,
But she is on my mind;
So I am laying foundations for a future life.
Brick by brick, with every footstep,
I am creating a home;
So when I do eventually meet her,
I can say…this is what we own.


A place to live, which has a fridge, to hang the pictures on.
A bed to sleep in and imagine the two of us with band’s on.
Inscribed on mine will be your name
And if you wish, my name will be yours.
You are already on my mind.
Am I the same?
Am I your love?
If this is true then we should become.
One and one make one.


I have waited for a century to see the perfect sun.
You will shine on my darkness and brighten up my face.
When I am done,
I hope I will be at your side when you are older
And I am even more grey.


I have tried my whole life through,
To find somebody as good as you;
Someone who really does love me.
Still I try…I am yet to see.
Other people will want different things,
But all I want is to exchange rings.


I am only interested in my true love.
What kind of feeling does our love evoke?
If I am yours as you are mine,
Then we should put the love letters with the wine
And later we will see what we wrote…


Wedding bells will ring aloud, so everybody can see,
That I am in love with you;
Together forever, I hope we will be.


Women may try to change my mind,
But they are wasting all our time.
Only one woman can have my love,
So if another wants to be with me, I will reply:
I am in love with her and I’m sorry,
You are beautiful, but you ain’t that fine,
When compared to her true beauty.


If you are my one love, then pop the cork on the champagne!
If you want to marry me, then I will celebrate the best day
And if we can extend our time by leaving a lasting legacy,
I will make our love last for a life time;
I promise you Babe, you bring out the best in me.
With you I will have found my way home at last.
This is my pledge to you; I swear there is no turning back.
From now into eternity, I want you, to be with me.
You could see me happy (Extraordinary!)


Home is where the heart is,
I need your style to decorate.
Home is where the kiss is,
I need your touch to improve this place.
Home is where you say I love you.
I need your words to unlock the door.
Home is where I hope you agree to I do;
I need your hand in my hand forever more.
