"astrayed" poems
Its funny how life passes you by, how in a split second things change.
How months felt like it was yesterday and
How years become dreams and faded memories.
When I look at the moon, you're so far but still close just astrayed.
How you leave me emptied handed even after I asked if you were okay.
When I look into the sea I wonder if your in the path you always wanted to be.
The waves tumble memories, the shore and waves meet
but never stay for long but just enough to touch my feet.
When you see me at night you might think I'm doing wrong but I'm just pondering as the night sky falls behind me. Silence speaks when you hear the trees weep people say its golden..
Your probably wondering why I visited people from my last but I was just closing doors from my past. I lay on the grass where we use to share laughs irony how I see you pass.
I watch the sky and the stars and I fade into an eerie daydream where its just you and me. But its gone left and unseen. But we aren't fools because we know the truth that lays in our grey colored eyes. No matter how much we pray and ask why.
There's just** silence**.
Because your just a ghost. A faded memory.
Who I talk to when I lay here and about to sleep.
I wonder if you ever hear me in your dreams. I guess I feel you weep.
To be honest I have no choice but to rejoice
even if its just a smile I wear on that's just worthwhile.
Live your dreams, and continue flirting on that girl that's not the one you use to hold.
Farewell I wish you the best was the last few words ill ever hear from you. And I'm off to my quest.....
In the next few days, things will fade away and fall into place... As a writer, stories are for eternity thanks for being part of my life's. Uncertainties

To love my divine Lord with mind heart and soul
Worth more than silver & gold some do as they're told
Sold their soul as I smoke a bowl lost paid the cost to a evil boss what a loss it's not okay astrayed away confused everyday hoping one day you find your way
Pray for a better day & speak wise words of healing, don't place heavy burdens on people's shoulders killing hearts slowly die colder, clean your inside so that the outside can be clean not just a cover up, your servant should be among the greatest treated with the same kindness polite courtesy respect and most love give good fruit my enemies will be placed under my foot as I stand to his right, ready for when evil fights just a reminder my God is a God of love, harmony. order, beauty, natural elegance not of corruption destruction chaos
Deceit defeat retreat or any least a ******* beast enraged in a cage misguiding lying deceiving inflicting never leaving start believing not by what your seein...

A light shines from within
Its taking a lifetime to find my way
Scared this light might go dim
Help me find my way
Dont leave me astrayed
Tired of feeling this way
Show me the path
To peeel away the fear I have
Inside
Dont let this light go dim
Grim has taken over
And demons wait for my wrath
The light shines from within
I'm scared its turning dim
I know theres a place
where i belong
and that i can ignite this flame
day and night
a haven where everything will feel right
please take my hand
take me to a place i can ignite
and let the flame spread like wildfire
But whatever you do dont let this light go dim
I know a light shines within

Feeling astrayed
Freshly betrayed
Emotions cascade
Just no word
Going absurd
Visions blurred
No remembrance
Just a present tense
Let me be in silence
To contemplate
To hibernate
To liberate
Wanna be autonomous
Wanna go unconscious
Wanna be anonymous

No Fela and son could tell of
this present roaring Government.
We would soon forget this forgery pain
upon the odours the land created.
Empty bellies shall revive casualties
to beckon the spring of spiritualism
&the bed shall not talk of absence of
bodies on the feet of her tender care.
Our today has queued into the past
as our yesterday moved cautiously
like a troubled legs walking into exile.
Beware of Dogs!
Beware of those who came as saints
to rule you into heaven & paradise.
One was accused yesterday & today
He that accused him presented him,
the other fell on countless occasions
yet, you mounted his bills all over town.
I searched your eyes & I found nothing,
It moves like the eyes watching a
toddler step, coated with innocence.
I see the nakedness of my heart in the
Scars of my people yet, they've astrayed.
Do not hold a demon-smile between
your dark teeth!
& in your eyes, memories of lights...
Do not upset the snoring ritual of the dead.
Go home, help the living live better.

Violets of Violet colour reminiscing in the livelihood of the day, impossible to appear astrayed from each other as they live and grow, they may.
Each pigment of nature abandons each other at a time,
times which past but years go by.
With water and rays they might Persist In growing,
blindly they dying in their infertile habitat without knowing

With the moon still up
Under the starry night
In my rambunctious mind
Between each thought
On dreams and nightmares
Across the twilight lit lake
Between loving and crying
Beyond caring, calling, and ripping apart love
In not fighting for fire
Without you and me
Against no odds to call you mine
Among mesmerizing lucid lights
From looking astrayed and losing contact
During the lows and lies of this so called love
Over this thought of us
Except expressing my inner thoughts of you
Past the depressing and anxious images
By the jubilant memories
Of witty wonderful pictures
Of you and me
Beneath these radiant stars
Above the beams of the moon
In a night not quite like ours
Upon the story of love and lust
Onto giving up on this fight
Without the stars, it’s a jet black night
