For Those People Amongst Us That Were Innocent
I am a child beneath their sky,
A hush of stars, a lullaby—
And all the world was built of song
Until the night betrayed me wrong.
No judge could see the soul I kept,
No jury heard the way I wept,
They took my name and made a stain,
And left me naked and in my pain.
The doors were steel, the

Lost Amongst The Night
"Do not go gentle into that good night."
"Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
Quote By Dylan Thomas
Smoky clouds float above slate skies.
Powdery alabaster flakes of snow glide to the earth.
A frozen taste of grief hovers in the breeze,
while maniacal machinery grinds close by.
The scent of industrial

prevaricated amongst
Amusing said the Unicorn
whose offspring ran riot
amongst the golden corn fields
In toad stalls fiery hornets roamed
By the wanton pavilion
all hope was gone
a fire crackle sentence serenaded
the dearth of thought culpable
Bramble often permanent
prevaricated by the ha ha
in the vista of no return
casting our thoughts to yesterday

My Spot Amongst The Bustle
Every day feels like a race
Always some job to do
Or person to please
I'm all over the place
I always thought it was just me
Looking to escape the madness
Even just for an hour
Somewhere to flee
I found a spot
For peace and quiet
And a cheeky little beverage
Which can't be too hot
I found a friend whilst there
Who sat with me

Out of TIME BEYOND ALL THINGS Radiant beams CREST Divine In HIS Midst Amongst the HOLY and HEVENLY
Holy, Glory for His Kingdom worth
Righteously dividing His love and word
Ever present Elohim;
All creator all;
Spoke existence all things be;
Out of time beyond all things;
The light beyond in darkness;
Just a speck beyond all else;
Radiant beams crest divine;
Praying for His will instilled;
Hoping beyond soul myself;
Being firmly grounded in Him as I move forward;
Heaven blissed

Tracking the Extraterrestrials Amongst Us
Tracking The Extraterrestrials Amongst Us
?
In shadows cast by stars above,
A nation's watchful gaze has found.
In covert ways, they seek to prove
The beings from beyond our kind.
Eyes keen, they trace celestial flight,
Through networks vast, their sights aligned.
Government's grip, both day and night,
Tracks beings wondrous and refined.
With satellites, they map the skies,
Piercing depths where secrets hide.
Codes decrypted,

Hidden Amongst Us the Narcissist Psychopaths
In shadows dark, where evil dwells,
A tale unfolds, of twisted spells.
A figure roams, with eyes so cold,
A narcissist psychopath, stories untold.
His charm deceives, a polished guise,
A predator lurking, behind those eyes.
With silver tongue, she weaves his web.
To feed upon the souls unaware.
A master manipulator, she plays her game,
Toying with hearts, igniting flame's.
She craves admiration, her

Barefoot Amongst the Bluebells
Barefoot amongst the bluebells
Beneath the canopy of trees so high,
A sea of bluebells catches the eye,
A soft carpet of petals and leaves,
As I tread barefoot, my soul perceives.
The fragrance of spring fills the air,
A symphony of scents beyond compare,
My steps light and free, without a care,
Through the bluebells, I wander and stare.
Peter Wilson.

They Walk Amongst Us
Sullen Sally sat softly..
Sofa cushions.velvet,soft and lofty.
Pondering, world’s great thinkers.
Some friends in her past, were heavy drinkers.
She’d observe them with a smirk
Each,assuredly,a god,not a jerk.
They’d argue that their god was best.
Such arrogant angels, in sweater vests!

Lost Amongst the Flowers
Distant breathing freezes winter in my bones and dredges my soul for the sowing of rotten seeds,
Foul flowers on trees infested by festering fruit emerge tangled from the ichor churning mud that bare their infected roots,
Wounded and flayed, my morals splash about in their pus and dismay
Pray, I do, for my sense of self and

Be Amongst Few
Mediocrity, Excellence two shores
Waves of Efforts connecting shores
Surf on tide, swim against flow of ocean
Be ashore leveraging art of propulsion
Mediocrity, a reality, almost repulsive
Excellence, a rarity, almost elusive
Race of Excellence, making man a rat
Each gnawing at other to breast the tape
Peaks exist because of bottom layers
Underneath layers vital for peak to

Love Amongst the Stars
It is not easy for me,
To utter sweet and honeyed words,
That you expect to hear
Each and every lively moment
Of our long-lasting existence.
And yet as we both roam,
Amongst the darkling void
Of space alight by million stars,
From nebulous clusters of rocky meteors
To hazy rings that circle unknown planets,
Kissing and hugging
Hurting and loving,
Sharing and cherishing
Eons of wonderful love,
You

Almost Amongst the Trees
Almost a breathe amongst the trees
Peace be on him
His words lightens the World
He has a recurring past
with different phrases, drifting
His jogged memory allies itself
to a multitude of thoughts
Years glancing hope shall blossom
Today rain blows over the lawn
