Comparison

A distant voice is like a fading colour
a muted version of reality
I'm hiding from the noise, always under cover
in fear of losing gravity.

A solitary flower laden with dew
the scent hangs heavy in the air
I scan the landscape exploring the view
my eyes straining from the suns glare.

I am that solitary flower who is forever losing its colour
telling myself it will be alright
as I once again take my cover
and settle down for yet another lonely night.

The Bottom Line

We need to know that there is someone out there who cares
no pain, now sorrow or even despair
laughter and joviality rings through our ears
but there is always something that brings us to tears.

In a desperate struggle for this world to make sense
let's bring down the barriers and retire all defense
so confused with what's right or what's wrong
everyones fighting and this war carries on.

Condemnation

One will never understand
the strength of desire and passion
that the slightest touch of his hand
would force me into submission.

Walking in the darkness
hiding behind closed doors
living with the sadness
that this love could last no more.

I yearned to scream out loud
that I loved him with all my heart
but forbidden loves stay underground
I guess we knew that right from the start.

In our own world we would live
together, forever more
me, I had my life to give
but could we beat this mental war.

The day had come to say goodbye
but for me it came too soon
as deep inside I wanted to die
my heart was out of tune.

So here I sit and long for the past
waiting to feel free
but still my life is overcast
so I live within the memory.

Destiny

From the sparkle in your eye
to the beat of my heart
in your sleep a heavy sigh
I knew right from the start.

The soft curls in your hair
my fingers trace each crest
linger longer if you dare
I shall put you to the test.

Come take both my hands
protect me from the cold
let's walk together on golden sands
let our future now unfold.

The Truth

Alone I would sit and quietly watch from afar
the little girl whom nobody knew
who was constantly in awe of a twinkling star
and forever questioned whether the sky was black or blue.

Her childlike innocence bore an unoccupied charm
to which boys would flock to entertain
on the outside she appeared cool and calm
but inside she felt great disdain.

Her eyes glistened like pools of emotion
staring reminiscently; memories in her mind
trying hard to control the reflection
but the words echoed cruel to be kind.

One smile would clear the thundering sky
one laugh warm the coldest day
but her head sank low and she began to cry
the pain she felt, too much to say.

Making excuses she quietly departs
as the faces turn to stare
she goes in search for her once lost heart
like an antique the best are always rare.

Judgement

They say that times a great healer
but absence makes the heart grow stronger
emotions caught up within melodies
memories triggered by emotions.

I'll take you to my place one day
where life feels warm like cotton wool
and like me you can learn to pray
to stop the demons lighting their fuel.

A photograph can hold a thousand stories
of past, present and future souls
but are we blinkered by the obvious reasonings
you should never judge a book by its cover.

A tale of happiness
a tale of hate
we could put it all down to fate
but be careful not to get caught in a mess
don't spill the wine on your cocktail dress.

Eternal

Waiting is like the dying embers of a fire
a neverending glow
a dimmed room full of desire
more than anyone will know.

A secret whispered in someones ear
a friend is lost for good
slowly becomes a rolling tear
my future is now understood.

Time

Caught in the clutches of time
a place that I long to flee
trapped though committed no crime
people pulling with no real thoughts for me.

Outside my window I see the world go by
fear of losing the race though still I endeavour to try
confined in my mind; surrounded like a cage
I have to find the strength; the ability to turn the page.

I love the simple things you find in each passing day
new people you meet you affect you in some strange unknown way
the sun glancing through a canopy of golden leaves
memories that float happily along the breeze.

Although I still feel lonely
I do know people care
but I need someone to guide and show me
to help me open up and share.

Wishful Thinking

My eyes sting with angry tears
I lay my head gently down
flicking through my youthful years
still, the time has come; of that I have no doubt.

Happiness, sadness, anger and shame
through all the feelings I have felt the pain
nausea, sweating, panic and strain
deep inside it flows through each vein.

I thought I was strong
but I'm as weak as the rest
for a peaceful mind I pray and long
I jumped the boat; failed the test
finally admit that I was wrong.

For the last time now I take a breath
close my eyes and smell the air
the only event now is that of death
I leave this world but I continue my prayers.

Discovery

A light shines through the haze
the sun shines through the fog
I can't seem to break the maze
I guess I'm just choking on the smog.

There is no right or wrong
It's all a big commotion
but I never really was that strong
just suffering from broken emotion.
