The days are slowly and quickly passing
The robots keep harassing

Time they say
Is never today

Change and tranquility, they fear
Harmony, seems not so near

They rush
And try to keep us hush
They feel proud
And will scream it out loud

What is all this
Certainly no bliss
What ever happened
To the soft kiss

They think they have it all
Treasures they think are not small
They shine their wealth
But ignore their true health

They continue in their old way
No need to try and make them sway

The waves of change
Seems to them, so strange
I like the crest of the wave
Not afraid of being brave

I don’t mind the resistance
I’ll stick to my adherence

It’s all I can control, my head
Seems they want it to be dead

Turn the old pages
Become with the changes
There is no dangerline
Only a unifying dance on the valentine

That's why I traveled so far
To come together where we are

Winter Aires


I am untouchable,
Yet vulnerable,
When my doors are open,
My soul bleeds,
Pent up for so long,
My emotions flood out,
My heart aches,
Behold my beauty and partake in my pain,
Respect my anger and learn from my sorrow,
Find my happiness and revel in my sadness,
As my feelings flow from pen to paper,
As you read my words and hear my thoughts,
Do you wonder who I am?
I am your insight,
I give you inspiration,
Do you know me now?
You should,
I am the poet.

Love is like a summer breeze that floats and gusts away
if you catch it breath it in it might take your breath away

I don't know when it happened,
But it did,
It may have happened at hello,
I don't know,
I can feel him walking through my house,
Shaking his head,
As he sees wall after empty wall,
I don't remember giving him the key,
Did he already hold it?
Where did my guard go?
My sentry has always guarded my house so well,
Was it time for it to go?
My God I'm frightened!
He's laying down carpet,
And I don't even know what color he has chosen,
I can feel his every step,
Reverberating in my house of pain,
My empty house,
Full of carpet,
I miss him when I can't see him,
And I miss him when I can't talk to him,
I don't know him,
But we've known each other forever,
Or so it seems,
Do you know the color of my carpet?
I don't!
Is it pretty?
Swish, swish, swish,
He walks on the carpet now,
One hand at his temple,
Color schemes in his head,
Paintbrush in hand.

"The dead rose"

walking through the ashes
hand in hand
kicking through the skulls
we were one

a dead rose upon my grave
placed there by your hands
the smell of fall lingers
through the fog of night

can you here the cries
of these damned souls
can you feel the pain
we all know and share

the living are afraid of death
the dead are afraid of living
this is the cycle of life and death
we all feel the feeling of fear

For years my love has lingered in the mist of distance time
Like the fragrance of the flowers my love it fills the air
Love is like the flowers that bloom in early spring
Lasts through out the summer time
Than dies when winter comes
You’ll never see the clouds of grey or the storms that lies within
For Love will drive you crazy till you ride upon its wings
Once I built a castle a castle in the sand
Then like the tides that come and go
MY dreams where washed away
I tried to save my castle I swam into the sea
When I could not save it, I drifted with the tide
Fell into the darkness beneath the raging sea
As my final breath I took, I heard the Eagles cry
I will soar now with the Eagles
As they spread their mighty wings
Travel over mountaintops and search the heavens skies
Ill Drift across the desert like the sifting sands of time
ILL breathe the air as Eagles do our hearts are now as one
When you search to find me look towards the sun
You will see the Eagles flying you will hear two Eagles cry
I will ride upon the Eagle’s wings Ill ride with Eagles high
ILL ride upon the Eagles’ wings my love for you will never die

The Two Foxes

Restless Winter arrives with all its force,
blustering and blowing everything off course.
As the wind and rain attacks the street light
a fox barks demandingly out in the wild night.
The piercing urgency of the call turns my skin
my sympathetic heart then beats faster within.
I press my face to the glass straining my eyes,
like an echo an answer comes, to my surprise.
From the shadows a head appears above a ditch
I spot a furtive figure I guessed to be the b*tch.
Her mate tried to join her in his one track mind
the deadly motorway bustle was all he could find.
The little vixen danced unbridled in her terror,
I watched with unbelieving eyes in guilty horror.
In death he crawled to the central reservation
she tried to get to him in seasoned frustration.
Now no more will that haunting call fill the sky
I stand in witness and ask aloud “Why God, Why?”
My favoured window grows misty with my breath
as two more suburban foxes lie discarded in death!

Just because of you


Just because of you,
I know i'll be able to get through.
You gave me the confidence, you gave me the hope.
The strength to hold on and cope.
You made it so I could believe in myself, wanting to be some one.
No longer shall I give up and say im done.
Instead i'll stay strong.
My goals and dreams stretching on, the list forever long.
I use to feel down.
But you'd pick me up and tell me to wipe away that frown.
You showed me that I could stand on my own.
But never would I be alone.
You told me I could make my dreams come true.
Anything I want, I can do.
Then when everything went wrong turning black and cold.
And I didn't think I could make it in this world.
You told me you'll always be right here.
That there is nothing to fear.
When the light goes out,
And I begin to doubt.
You'll make sure I don't give up, instead i'll stand my ground.
Inside myself the strength I found.
I'll stay, i'll fight, always for whats right.
It was inside you that I found the light.
Just because of you,
I know i'll make it through.

I am sick in tired of the fact you are not confident.
I don't want to play this game, just tell me what it meant.
I may be sixteen years old,
But my age doesn't give you an excuse to be cold.
You seem so insecure,
What exactly do you fear?

I'm not afraid of bluntness,
Correct me if there is something I miss.
I am at the point in my life where I don't want to play this game.
I am tired of your immaturity, we aren't the same.
I can't just read your mind.
And if I could, I am not afraid of what I'd find.

I can live with the truth, I don't fear rejection.
There's no need for this friction.
I don't need you,
Its fine with me if we are through.
Cause I am tired,
My brain is wired.

I am done with getting no sleep,
No longer will I weep.
I don't know what you want me to do,
But I know one thing that is true.
This isn't ending,
Believe me, its just beginning

Feelings feelings, what do they mean?
Is it nothing nothing, that's what it has come to seem.
What is love, just a feeling to break your heart?
Or a simple hope of a new beginning, a new start.
Cold Cold, shivering in this evil world.
Tricks played, things said, dreams planned, promises of love and hope.
But in the end it leaves you unable to cope.
what's these feelings, feelings in my heart?
His words stabbing stabbing like a dart.
Why why, I ask trying not to cry.
I am not blinded like I use to be.
I know now, I can finally see.
Is it to late for me to tell you that its because of everything we have been through.
My mind was twisted and confused, but I know now that I am in love with you.
Fire fire burning deep inside my core, its all coming together raining raining all my feelings starting to pour.
Feelings feelings, what do they mean?
This isn't nothing nothing, for being with you is my only dream.
I have finally found the door, but do i hold the key?
The one that means you and me.
Cold Cold, shivering if your not in this world.
Why why, didn't i know before I ask trying not to cry.
Fire fire burning deep inside my core, its all coming together raining raining my feelings starting to pour
