Look Closer

Raging rapids rumble down the ragged rocky row
Of the many magnificent mountains that tumble down below,
From up upon the clouds 
The eyes can see so far and wide,
The rapids race down mercifully 
Till they merge in the valleys tide,
From the clouds they drop pennies,
And while they watch them gracefully fall,
They wish that they could quench their thirst 
In the glittering waters below,
But what they do not see in the tempting pool they seek,
Are the many malling monsters that lurk within it's deep.

Neutrino

Eyes closed,
Hands pushed out into nothing
Trying to grasp onto the neutrino
That is something beautiful.

Open eyes;
Bitter-sweet truths of yesterday
That have now been ostracized
From this treacherous world,
Adhering eternally to the night.

Sea Air

My heart feels warm, as if I've just realised the wonders that can still be found in this
world. As I gaze up to the crisp, clear blue sky, I see the sun. It shines so brightly in
the cool morning air. When I breathe, I see my breath like smoke in front of my red nose
and rosy cheeks. The clear fresh air is cool against my face but feels great as it fills
my lungs; my elixir. And as I sit on this embedded rock, my legs dangling an inch from the
sea,  I look at its vastness and think of the sheer size of this world. It could make me
feel worthless and small, instead I feel honored to be a part of it.

Changing Lanes

Drop the pen and put on your armour,
There’s enough been spilled for one day,
Judgment on your works will follow,
And jealous will sharpen their tongues.
The memories of youth are leaving
A bitter taste in your mouth now,
Knowing that you can’t turn back time,
And that your heart lacks fire.
The naive eyes that watched your childhood
Are gone like so many things you take for granted,
And you will allow your thoughts to slowly wilt,
Until your mind has gone,
And a body is all that is left.

Grenades

Drop bombs on the ground to diminish the enemy;
Destroy your spirit,
Armies thousands of loved ones strong
Soldier on,
On our extraordinary Earth spills unnecessary blood,
Hearts, minds and bodies broken,
Children listen to the sound of sirens,
Knowing nothing else, seeing only hurt,
Reckless, totalitarian minds of power
Disgust my ears and eyes,
The simplicity in retreating
Is too much for them to handle,
From oval offices they throw human grenades.

Over Winter Frost

Hold on,
Not all is lost, 
A setting sun 
Over winter frost, 
Diamonds glisten upon the sea,
The sand feels cool beneath our feet,
If every storm on Earth were to brew,
Every tide crash around me and you,
I'd just look into your eyes, 
And smile at how they shine,
I can't believe that you are here,
And you are mine.

Look For the Sun

Don’t ever leave the sanctuary,
Despised are those who dare to be different,
Misplaced judgment, sorry times
For those who dare to see,
Pick a pocket full of brightly blossoming buttercups,
Sprinkle their gold into the eyes of a novice,
Then, surely, they will see the Sun, 
And how it always shines, it’s just
The sky becomes cloudy sometimes.

Paralysis

Delicate disturbance in the night,
Enough to make you never forget,
Gentle rattling at the window,
An airy chant from under the door,
Faceless voice,
Sore,
Devastating,
Craving a taste of love,
Like the heart of the night
She is condemned to darkness,
Feel her creep.

Unable to move
And straining to speak,
I wake.
