Buried Alive

Buried Alive




                                            Casted shadows of doubt,
                                                linger within despair.
                                              Help me into insecurity,
                                          life damage, pay up and repair.
                                         Blinding white lies of brightness,
                                         flash assaulted now face to face.
                                         It's lifes dimmed out light switch,
                                     where burnt bulbs are never replaced.

                                         Echoing noise pollution madness,
                                             a periodic collapse of mind.
                                        Thinking without any real purpose, 
                                      moving forward yet still falling behind.
                                       Feeling the weight of disastrousness,
                                        your Spirit continually pinned down.
                                        Lived life unhappily ever after this,
                                         buried six feet above the ground...

Premium Member City Walls

People living in the city
Talking to you like they think their so witty
Putting on a big smile
But wearing it only for a little while
Spending all their money trying to look so good
Thinking the sun never rises whereever they have stood
Spending their time
Trying to make another dime
Hopefully those words went with this rhyme
Fake city lights blind the eyes
Politicians practicing their lies
Too busy to see
What life was meant to be.
Held down by all they own
Life is never even known
Where big money is grown
Living fast
Having a blast
Hard to soar
Nailed to a floor
Behind a locked door
Love you can never buy, only rent
Better to live in a tent
Away from the people 
Money is their steeple 
People robbing and killing 
Nobody ever just chilling
Lifes value is held so low
People sitting back watching the show
This City that never sleeps 
The people weeps
Choking on the smog
A barking dog
People shoving on by
Hearing some poor soul cry
So many lost souls
Once they had goals
The city sucked them dry
No longer do they even try
Living day to day
Painfully they play
Hearts turned ice
Love comes with a price
Another tear falls
Behind these city walls

Distant Love

***This here is dedicated to my eldest sister and her husband stuck in a long distance
relationship....***
**************I step out of myself, jump into their mind to tell their story, I hope you
enjoy**********



I'm so far away, 
I find it hard to cope.
Alone, I lay
I've come close to losing hope.
I need my husband, 
my one and only.
Does he still wear his wedding band?
Emotionally stressed, 
lonely?

I talk to him everyday,
but a voice over the phone
is not enough.
as a woman, grown,
alone,
It's rough.
i have needs
call me greedy
I yearn for his seeds.
Come to me baby
Please..

Your imprinted in my mind,
but your not here.
Working, struggling to find
you near me dear...
Fear,
Never....
Even though we're miles apart
I know I am yours forever...

____________________________________________________________________________________________________


Here I sit, 
around those I can't stand.
They throw childish fits
Two grown men..
Four years, I saw you everyday
Now alone, 
But, I won't stray
My heart frayed
Over-played..
The commitment I have made
I'm yours,
No matter where I stay.

I miss my wife,
so full of strife.
Life,
wounding me daily,
stabbed by lifes' knife..
I try to be positive,
but It's hard
not to be negative.
My muse has gone away.
Alone,
I lay.
How will I cope today?

All yours I remain
No matter where I lay
every night I pray
but life without you
everyday seems gray

I must stay focused
through this 
emotional hocus pocus.
But, the day will come
when we're together again.
I hate this, being lonesome,
I need
My wife and my best friend...

Remembering

As teardrops flow their rivers run,
   The years sail by upon those tears.
   They carry dreams of our loved one.

   This twist of fate what had it done?
   Those spinning wheels that no one hears.
   As teardrops flow their rivers run.

   Time could not change what had begun..
   Each time our thoughts turn back the years,
   They carry dreams of our loved one.

   Remembering; past times re-run.
   Time does not heal or hide our fears.
   As teardrops flow their rivers run.

   Lifes spinning coin that fate had spun,
   Left memories each one endears,
   They carry dreams of our loved one.

   A little boy.- a man undone,
   Still as a child to us appears.
   As teardrops flow their rivers run,
   Through fields of dreams, we see our son.

I Am

I am not the name I'm called in this life
nor am I what you think you see
I am something that existed way before
the world you know came to be
I am the seed of the tree we know as the father
that created both heaven & the hells
I am a child of a mother that gave birth 
to a spirit clothed in an earthly shell
I am the embodiment of what is known as eternity
so, I'll exist forevermore 
I am forever a sailor on the seas of fluid life
searching for brighter sandy shores
I am what's seen when eyes are closed for the night
as you search for this lifes newest dream
I am a dream that you're having & know it not
for you're lost in the world that is seen
I am literally everything you've ever known 
mirroring hidden versions of yourself
I am seen in & by your eyes everywhere
as everything is a reflection of ourselves

Premium Member Only Time Will Tell

Are you one who has danced with the Devil by chance or by choice
Are you quick to obey all the orders of each masters voice
Repeating the lives of our fathers while blinded by faith
Expectant of love and forgiveness forlLifes mistakes we make

We live in a time where the blind are still leading the strong
Are the righteous, self righteous enough to be righteously wrong
Excuse is the “crutch” that we’re human exempt from perfection
Will that be the cross that we bare when we’re faced with rejection

Are those passing before us the wiser for passing at all
Are the heights that we reach for in life our reasons to fall
Is there peace of the mind or the spirit in Heaven or Hell
Does sin linger, eternally damning...a putrescent smell

Does the human within us insist that we make lifes mistakes
As we wrestle our conscience the innocent lie in our wake
Should we wish for forgiveness or wallow...only time will tell
When it’s too late for unanswered questions... will the mocking bird yell

What is left as humanity waits on the last curtain call
Shall we rise to the heavens above as the last angels fall
Will our wonder be wonder alone that the heavens replace
Shall we plunge to the depths of despair, even further from grace

Does time fly on wings that will heal the broken and damned
Will faith be the cure for the festering wounds in his hands
No redemption for those admitting we’re wrong and afraid
Destroying the beauty around us in the nightmares we’ve made

Lord help us repent now we’re dreadfully lost and alone
No chance for to change does our future lie written in stone
Can we change who we are can we change that which tears us apart
Are we wasting our time are the children alone pure of heart

Was Jesus shown human while losing His temper... seems odd
Is it sinful to think that we’re made in the likeness of God
Is each personal quest less important less noble to call
Than those that lie prone at the foot of the Wailing Wall
You decide for yourselves ...but for me
I Don't Think So At All

Sentiment

Suprise surprise ....empathise with a sadist

Draggin emotion through joy consumed rages

So while fear&envy enjoy there true places

Contempt coils around paranoias two faces

True shame is guilt ... pride is living arrogant

And Taking pleasure out of all the embarrassment

 Anger management loaded with sympathy

Where hatred can only find hope in hostility

Or grief in euphoria but jokers are killing me

With a token of civility behind an arrogant threat

By harbouring infamy while evicting respect 

Display no remorse , and never live with regret

Ya feelin me yet ? Lifes an Emotional wheel of roulett 

What ever u put into it is all u ever gonna get 

Now that's a pestilent sentiment

Learning From Lifes Paths

Different paths our lives will take
Some are good--some a mistake
But we grow and always learn
With every twist and every turn
We get taught whats right or wrong
Allowing us to be so strong
Sometimes we fall on our butts
Other times we need to shut
Doors leading to a decision
That will cause a bad collision
On the road that leads ahead
Filled with joy and sometimes dread
With each step and choice we make
Our hearts and minds will always take
A more profound step forward
Allowing us a new chance toward
Respect, happiness and love
As we had to push and shove
Past the bad and into good
Living a life that we should
Be so  proud that we created
Feeling so glad and elated
Never giving up we fought
For this joyfulness we sought

Many Mansions

Many are knocking on Gods hidden door
trying to escape brimstone floors
Some views are narrower than peepholes
while others see through open windows
Lifes a beach with many sandy shores
that go deeper than any ocean floor
My advice is to go with life's liquid flow
& enjoy the boat with all its rows

The mind is the center of this earthly core
& all of its rocky ores
Brave the waters & mold your will into the hardest steel
because life hardens feelings on a massive scale
Mass appeal blinds many to what lies in store
to what's housed behind attractive doors
I tell you this series of dreams are more than real
but many lack the awareness of their lucid feel

Premium Member Spread

Spread
Love , it is the only way we can go
This is something we all should know.
We should spread it with all we say
Make it the new way
We can see were all this hate is leading
How quickly it is breeding 
And how bad we are needing
For love to come back
Stop adding to its attack 
We cary this to far
History will add this new scar
To its pages
Of our lifes stages 
All that play this hate game
Must feel no shame
Hold us all to blame
Sadness starts
The frosting of hearts.
Petty emotions taking hold
Mask making people bold
Fires burning in street
Rage , building with the heat
Have we lost to hate
It can't be our fate
Not to late
Love, can put out the fire
Before it can get any higher
Love is the way
Spread it with all we say
