1st World Hypocrisy

We may have won the battle, but they never fought the war.

we are living in a rose tinted nation, 
Trying to live up to our own declarations.
Avoiding participation in our own rehabilitation.
Yet we still choose depression as our safety station.

We surround ourselve with distorted imagery.
Illusions and delusions of how we ought to be.
Fighting for democracy and unrealistic dreams of equality.
yet racism still a well known philosophy.

We place our goals just within our reach.
We use empty books to educate and teach.
We memorise our perfect speech, tick the box 'donate to aid relief'.
Yet obesity is our number one retreat.

We follow the rules on how to behave .
Make notes of what and to whom we gave.
Pray to god and you will be saved, for all our sins he did forgave.
yet a mortgage pays for the tombstone on our grave.

Our eyes have closed in this rose tinted nation.
As the economy rose we sacrificed our identification.
Lost our salvation in the walls of our self built concentration.
And we pity them with their lack of complication.

Counterculture

We are young and try to be, Independent and free.
Got the world beneath our feet, they took our innocence to keep.
These the men of old, who swapped their hearts for shining gold.
Now they try to steal our souls to wrap around their brittle bones.
Locked in chambers made of stone, their children they beg to play alone.
Wrapped up tight in broken ropes, they pray for guns instead of hope.


But we found love, we will thrive, despite the lies that you deny.


And we will end what you begun. Turn our backs onto the sun.
We run through the night fighting for our sacrificial right.
And we howl to the moon, like it is what we were born to do.
And when we hear the gypsy's chant, we stand up tall and dance.
When the sun begins to rise, we bow our heads and close our eyes.
Because we are young and try to be, independent and free.

Skimming Stones

Under the shade of a sychamore tree,
on the edge of a pond sat a he and she.
both who were living with a burdening fee
for the she could not hear, and the he could not see.


and he sat there in the shade of the leaves,
listening to the rustle of the wind through the reeds,
till he heard a voice travelling in the breeze.
singing him tales of worlds overseas.

she painted him visions so clear he could feel.
her words flowed so gently as they tried to reveal
the movement of joy on ripe barley fields
and treasure of old the sea tries to conceal.


on the opposite shore, by a moss covered stone
sat a she who sangs songs to the wind and the gnomes
she dangled her feet into the water below
and read the love ripples from his skimming stones.

Pandora's Plea

Forever in a day, my heart is slowly fading away.
A victim to time i cant hold my tears any longer.
Slice my cheeks and burn a hole through my soul. 
I surrender
Scorned by my own follies. 
Victim of my own misdirection. 
Let me drown in a calm sea, floating among red poppies. 
Let me sink. 
Gently close my eyes, put a flower in their place.
A reminder of what they lost in their blindness. 
Deafened by the screech of your silence, 
And tormented by the absence of your violence. 
Hand me a blade, 
The one to you i gave, in my misguidance.
And i will place it along side me, 
My open grave, a tribute in honor of the memories i have slayed. 
The friendship i have betrayed, the trust i have mislaid. 
Watch it decay
Tie a bolder to my strength and drop it in the ocean. 
Wait till i am colder. older. forgotten over and over. 
Then let the tide regurgitate, return me. 
Place your pain in the cart and i will carry it on my shoulders.
Pull me into your dreams, but only as a bystander. 
Replace me 
But don't misplace me
Don't forget you misguided me
With the feelings that you hide from me
The key you handed me
Opened the door to my felony.
I believed you
And sinned unintentionally.

Message In a Bottle

"For the moments we spent, and the memories we found

For the life that we dreamt in the love that we drowned.

Tonight i am silent, i am lost out at sea,

or the day that i found you, was the day i lost me.

Here is my hearts , amongst the tide and the waves

here is our history, floating with the memories i saved"

The Puzzeled Dragonfly

In a muddle 
In a puddle 
In a world made of dismay
On a rock in the middle a dragon fly prayed

He was battered 
He was tattered 
He was in a terrible way
From the things in his heart he tried not to say

All the confusions
All the delusions
All the the emotions he couldn't convey
In his muddle of a puddle in this world of today.

Alice In Wander Land


I wish we could stay in this moment.
Of falling.
Forever.
but.
we ran ahead of ourselves.
To fast.
we Stumble.
To the ground.
The same mistake.
Mistaken.
Again.
we walk.
Our separate ways. 
Aching.
And.
Alone.

Stranger Times

I met him, and together we walked along the wayside. Hands untied.
                       Together we breathed in the moonlight. Exhaling suicide.
                       Together we sat beside a sunrise and raised our glass' to the tide.
                     
  and he spoke so softly 

"In time we have forgotten, the safe place we hid our Pride. We left it with Truth in our race to beat mankind. We have become so consumed our future, that we forget to ask our past, how to live with the present and now miss the moments that will pass.  

Some night, soon my child, in your dreams you will find a star, to the left side of your heart. In the morning when you wake up you will find the way out of the dark ."

And then i left him, the stranger i sat beside.
As i walked away i wrapped my arms tightly round my side.

My Long Lost Tulip Hard


To stand with your shadow. 
The empty hollow cry. 
I loved you for no reason, other than the kindness in your eye.

Where dreams fall behind us. 
We danced to the ides of march. 
Your ancient wisdom scares me as much as the youngness of your heart.

For people who would rather, 
find a safe place to reside. 
I choose to walk beside you, with both my hands untied.

Take my open palm.
Place your autumn smile inside. 
I'll hold it through the winter, and release it when the spring wind arrives.

but promise me one thing. 
you'll never look behind my eyes.
 for in their depth you'll find broken,  my long lost tulip harp.

Shells From the Sea

To center a poem use the center tag:
Empty. 
On the shore.
Time.
Nothing more. 
The decider.
Reminder.
How fragile. 
You and me.
Shells. 
From the sea.
