Visual

To see with eyes of such clarity of hue
To wake each morning to see a different colour because you looked closer than you usually do
To understand why strawberries are so red and they taste much sweeter too
To dedicate one life to observing why people live in such light and darkness within a mind that has every colour on a palette  to hand like a magician with swords daring their intellect to those not knew
To show what was missing in the picture by pronouncing it's very existence because it's part of you.

White Building

Moving slowly as frequency attaches it's self to it only
Dunes cover vast lands moulding shapeshifting like this snake lonely
No one is your friend and friends are misguided to their own ends coldly
A road going one way and another exactly the same choices are given and taken away this the wise man told me
A hawk I've been following hopefully will lead me to a garden with white buildings carved from stone and windows of stained glass colour the interior like a fatherless child only with light to guide then you can truly see
Sit in contemplation in the centre of this building and things will be as they surely should boldly solely

Worry

Flowers they are just tears when god does sing
Birds live on their fears but they have wings
Figure out what you have before time blows in the winds
Sunshine in a bright new spring spreads the clouds and sins
You can't wash me clean because humans have to win

Idolize


Light beams into my eyes to my surprise
Headlamps coming from the other side compromise
The noise of the road beneath me humming like prayer device
Sky black and trees a silhouette to light coming and going rationalize
A newborn baby's eyes are so fragile their pigment changes and materialize
If all the wonder is within then I don't want to see the sun again ever rise.

Pip  Pip

Softer than the dumplings made in my mum's stew
The river widens and you let letters start to rule
Metal sticks with oranges stuck through make a barbeque
My turtle named windy woo wearing wellington boots just like you
Socks and underpants floating past with a man in a canoe it's all brand new
We are all living in a zoo and the keeper says" you've not flung enough poo" what am I to do, make more poo
A signal heard today from Alien beings and they say " how do you do " I say mustard custard in my shoe pip pip toodle ooh

I turned into the saddest shade of blue
I couldn't bear to look at you
I knew you were,t happy too
You hated me and I hated me too
I'm sorry I made you cry not knowing the right thing to do
I grow old and I, ll never know someone new
An apple fell to the earth and was bruised so much no one could help anyone have a clue
You made me love you and all the time I'm blue.

Rivington

Yesterday I was smashing televisions up
Liverpool was winning the league cup
We went to Rivington on our bikes so's not to have to read our books
We'd lie in the hills amongst the buttercups and listen to the babbling brook
A plastic water bottle was all we took and on our way back home we'd race down the biggest hillside past the sheep and nodding ducks
Today I still have a bike but it sits in the shed under lock and key and I and my cousins never seem to see each other unless there's someone in the family getting married or are dead but we'll always have well life *****.
