Owen Van Der Schyf Poem
Humanity took the last boat
The last one way ticket
On the last wooden ship with sails
Yes
Humanity left in style
If it was today
But that boat now
Sails the seabed
Humanity is like the
Boogeyman or Davy Jones locker
Bedtime stories to your children
A world full of magical creatures
And fairytale endings
Humanity is but a story

Owen Van Der Schyf Poem
Let's go back
To a time
Where love ruled
And flowers were in guns
Let's go back
To a place
Where opinions were free
And man was still man
Love the beauty that life can give
All of us as one
Say no more just come together
And live in peace once more
The love you give
Is what you receive
Take this time
To reach each other
And show the strength of love
Take my hand
Let's walk together
Through the dark aged woods
The sun will rise and so will we
We'll rise and stand with the stars
Let's go back
To a time
Where flowers were alive

Owen Van Der Schyf Poem
In Love
I've never been
Dying little by little
Each time the thought appears
The charade I made
Everytime it came in
The variegation of love
Changes all the time
Love isn't physical
That I know
Everytime you think
It takes your breath away
You take a moment each moment
to be breathless
Opening your eyes
Just to not fall asleep
so you can relive
Living a moment
over and over
till a new one comes to mind
Affraid I haven't had........
A moment like that before

Owen Van Der Schyf Poem
A faint light in the air
Moon arises on a smiling corpse
A warm heart with blood
running, still
Ash inside its mouth
Blowing to the closest ear
The devil roams at night
Waking up in pain
The seed blooming deep
No way to end this night
For the devil roams at night
The night drags for days
The words for months
Shelter burning down
By the smiling corpse
Shelter that was your shield
Blackened by the flames
Words last but a moment
But the devil's still burns
Coming out seems vague
Rebuilding seems less
Your will can be done
But the corspe you must leave
For the devil roams at night

Owen Van Der Schyf Poem
A love I never felt is the love I
have for you
This feeling deep inside
Brightens my life around
Stories I have heard
From this love I now feel
Stronger than it was told
This love now is real
I will die young
Even a hundred years from now
Love keeps me young
Beauty will not fade
Sharing this love
I can't keep it in any longer
Free as I can be
With you next to me
Unstoppable I'll be
You standing next to me
A thousand miles each day
Worth the smile that you have
Each second without you
Feels longer than my life
Holding you near
Takes me some place far away
I will die young
Even a hundred years from now
Love keeps me young
Beauty will not fade
Sharing this love
I can't keep it in any longer

Owen Van Der Schyf Poem
As the dark creeps in
I sly away
To the valley of the unknown
Where darkness never sleeps
snakes and skeletons are the floor
to the unknown
I try to feel my way
to the despair of of a hissing breath
I become the darkness
and it becomes me
afraid am I not
for the darkness is one with my soul
and I am it's master
Nor do I shiver
nor look down
for the darkness give me the strength
to wonder alone
The fire becomes the night
and the creatures walk among the ash
dripping with envy
the sleeplessness wants free
to the leaves they give cold
but nothing can be seen
for the only ones that see
are the ones walking among the night
The darkness chooses your soul
and you can't ever escape the valley
the more you run the deeper inside you become

Owen Van Der Schyf Poem
Never saw the moon in love before
Looking at it now, has it always been
So far away you see the same…….. moon
Breath-taking view from the edge
Only because I see you there
I’ve come undone
Now that you are so far away
Chorus:
So close yet so far away from me
You are so far away from me
The time and distance that’s between
Could never take away what I feel
I will always feel you next to me
Your smile will stand time
Break down the walls that I built
I only cry because of you
And the flowers that grow
Comes from you
But yet you are so far away
Chorus:
I’ll travel the seas in search of you
For a thousand year till I find you
Together we will be for eternity
Chorus:

Owen Van Der Schyf Poem
You rolled your eyes and turned your back
Together we stood, separately
You looked at me and said
There’s nothing you can do
Nothing you can say to take this pain away
I forgot how it felt to feel this way
Now you brought it back again
And this time it’s here to stay
you made me feel safe
Sheltered me from the bad
Took to my heart like Cupid’s arrow
And there you stayed
What went wrong

Owen Van Der Schyf Poem
Got a one way ticket in my pocket
To an unknown destination
I’m going down a one way road
With a guitar and couple blank pages
I’m going down, down
The open road
I’m going down
My reflection shines onto the window
As the moon shines his halo light
The open road talks to me
With the wind blowing her murky voice
I’m going down, down
The open road
Eagle’s soaring in the sky
Bikes roaming gaining road
The road’s the only place to be
I’m going down
Sleeping next to a blazing fire
Its smoky blanket warms me
The stars my night light in the sky
And the road my companion

Owen Van Der Schyf Poem
Loving you is a sin
all else fades away
The sins you do
I've already forgiven
Take my hand
hold it and never let go
Singing out of tune
No one sounds as good
You shouldn't be here
This place ain't for you
Blood flows like water
Yellow isn't your color
Come away with me
Here you shouldn't be
The dream I had last night
You were there and I'd dream it again
So simple, so sweet
I was out of breath
out of breath for you
So untouched by fear
So willing to be here
Empty pockets is what you have
Less is what you feel
Work you don't know
Fading away little by little
Till you're not there
Still I do care
