My sweet Canary

My sweet canary just loves to sing,
with his yellow beak and golden wing.
His lovely songs will make you shake,
all other tunes will sound a fake.
But as I sit and think alone,
I feel my heart is made of stone.
My precious bird could be my sin,
I keep his soul well locked within.
For every soul is born so free,
I doubt your mind will disagree.

A world of Deception

Don’t seek perfection in a world of deception, 
a place of  test for he and she. 
If God intended for man perfection, 
no mortal being will disagree. 

For every time you feel rejection, 
only the truth will set you free. 
And when you tread in wrong direction, 
your path will lead to misery.

So be alarmed, 
request protection, 
from every evil in you and me. 
Extend your hand and attempt connection, 
don't hesitate to make a plea.

For every action that causes friction, 
will wear our bond and kill our glee.

Situations

Flattery lightens the mood 
and turns black roses pink, 
while hearts get carried away 
when love is expressed in ink.
Sweet words when acknowledged 
will make your mind blink, 
but a pure soul 
when duly ignored 
in sadness it will sink. 

Cheerful the heart would be 
enduring its lovers pain, 
and gloomy the mood would be 
in dreams of sullen rain. 
Sometimes the mind is stubborn 
and unwilling to obey, 
no matter how hard you try 
in emptiness it will stay.

Words of love 
when truly spoken 
will hit you like a dart, 
and newly couples 
do seek romance 
but don't know where to start. 
Dust is rather teasey 
on days when winds will blow, 
and faults in rusty hearts 
with time will surely show.

Being an honest person 
the truth I always told, 
but I only found solace 
in hearts of solid gold. 
Hard work and perseverance 
did make my dreams come true, 
but envious friends 
without a doubt 
would deem the facts untrue.

Plunging into an abyss 
shall not resolve my day, 
but flashing onto my worthy deeds 
will help me find my way. 
Today I may prevail 
and set my own domain, 
but one day I shall regret 
good deeds gone in vain.

The beast within

There is a beast,
that lives within.
In every man,
promotes a sin.
You hear his whisper,
from deep within.

Inside your brain.
under your skin.
He looks around,
for weakened souls.
To spread his venom,
and take control.

The heart of hell,
his place of stay.
He tempted man,
in every way.
Before you smile,
or even grin.
You must be aware,
of the beast within.

Child of War

I was never asked to choose a side, it is to fate I must abide. I am the child that war has aged, I am the soul that time has caged.

I am the breeze, lost in a storm, I am that flower whose stem was torn. I am a dream never achieved, I am the innocence that war conceived.

Among the rubble I stand alone, my precious home a pile of stone. Out in the cold without a cover, I starve to death or may recover.

I am the cries and all the screams, I am the victim of corrupt regimes. In every battle or every war, it is my blood they always draw.

I am a bird without his wings, I am the child who lost his limbs. Amidst the fear and all the dread, I am a body amongst the dead.

To every general who wears a star, I am the one who bears the scar. I am the only voice of hope, with all the horror I have to cope.

I am bewildered and feel ashamed, to see serenity within the sane. I am, the child of war.

You can’t please people

My words might sound to some strange, or my rhymes maybe rough around the edges 

I only write what I can arrange, I don’t need to stand on any bridges 

sometimes I am not in my right state of mind, all my thoughts are scattered along the ridges

But other times I glow bright like a star, or piece of art, in its fringes

no matter how hard you try, you can’t please people even if your words are riches

What your heart tells you is always right, so don't ignore your pain and look at the stitches 

Continue to write what’s on your mind and don’t stop as long as you’re writing hand itches

The Power of Words

Our words carry enormous weight, 
more than we ever think, 
when spoken out will leave a mark not just a trace of ink. 
Words empower people, 
to some maybe a muse, 
but a mighty power lies within some of the words we use. 

Life has always shown, 
how powerful words can be, 
a careless word, 
sharp or dull may change reality. 
Some words will offer comfort and make you feel alive, 
but the magnitude of hurtful words may end a persons life.

Words may bring delight just like the rising sun, 
but not from those who lecture people on what they could have done. 
And words that are left unsaid create barriers and pain, 
but many find a sense of solace in words they had restrained.

Childhood Memories

My childhood days are hard to forget, of some I have glimpses, but some are carved in my head

I remember my mothers sweet smell, I remember my fathers support when I fell

Life was simple in those days and people had innocence in their gaze

I remember the whispers of the cool summer breeze,  in the fields where we played beyond the trees

I remember my childhood mates, friends at school and all their debates

I remember the girl next door, on whom I had a crush long before

That was my first lesson on emotion, which sometimes can be deceiving like the ocean

I did learn things in life first hand and somethings I still don't understand

Those days are now long gone, I sit alone with nothing but my memories

Cold winter nights

I sit alone on cold winter nights, thinking of how my life became dreary

Is it something that I had just realised? or is it just another theory?

Am I content with what I have in life? And is life my only query?

There isn’t a year that goes by, without my body slowly growing weary

With age strength is hard to come by, but you do tend to become briery

It is on these pitch black nights, that my thoughts become leery

Even the stars are absent from the skies tonight, so is the moon who is so deary

I do yearn my younger days, but my eyes quickly become teary

Nothing but the good in life counts, the rest is to your soul smeary

Only when day light breaks again, does my mood finally become cheery

A lustful dream

My sweetheart lays asleep in her bed, on a goose feather pillow she had rested her head

Her half naked body wrapped in a white velvet sheet, her face was flushed red from the heat

Her golden tanned skin glowed in the dark, but the bruise on her shoulder had left her a mark

Her sweet sweat glittered as bright as a candle, her long brown hair was drawn back into a bundle

As she slowly turned in her soft double bed, the thought of making love did come to my head 

As the white velvet sheet slid  to the floor, revealing her nakedness forevermore

She whispered in a soft clear voice, MY LOVE COME TO BED, but the voice in my head, to my lusty dream had put an end
