I plagued the walls
with a delicate youth
When I ran truant
with an innocent truth
So can you take me back
to the summer of 09'
to my friends in the fields
with the bottles of cheap wine
Thomas Alan Sep 2016
I do not want to feel
the pig of winter's night
on my lonely cracked lips
concealed in a blanket of white

And I do not capture
the dreams in his head;
imprinted on a film
that can never be read

So when the bells from the churches
ring on the eve
and lights of the fairies
tickle the windows with breeze

I will cover the footprints
that I left in the snow
so when I can't be found
he has nowhere to go

A child of November
that was born into the night
carried by a sadness
on a bed of hidden light

Behind his frosted eyes
is a forest of emerald green
the autumn leaves are magic
from the day of eighteen

Beneath his skin a hint
of olive yellow tone
from a pouring heart of love
never truly sewn

it's framework and scaffolding
that place bridges in our pale blue sky
so can you stop at level crossings
and ask yourself why?

knotted fraying ropes
just to pull a silver moon
but behind midnight dreams
our visions are somewhat strewn
Thomas Alan Sep 2016
Rose petals put to bed
now dead on the kitchen floor
As apologies echo
from behind the front door
Thomas Alan Sep 2016
You shy from the truth
that brings us to our end
That it slowly is upon us
but the time we can bend
Thomas Alan Aug 2016
If I was a Sunflower
You would be the sun
but without you I am lost
and I don't know where to run
