In a Day Dream

Bouts of dust splatter in the distance
slowly floating down to the ground
drifting thoughts and mind absent
for i am day dreaming
i can not hear the words that you speak to me
as i begin to realise
and i come back to the reality of my life
i sigh in a course of realisation
for i wish i didnt have to
return to this
and be forever in a world of pure
imagination
window with rain drops like tears sliding down
and fluttering flames within the fire place
they send you into a trance like state
as you stare at either of them
its a wonderful sensation that sends you off
into a spiral of some kind of
hypnosis
time to dim the lights
all you need is relaxation
take away that frustration.

Black Horse

There's an insatiable black horse 
running wild undilutedly 
between the tree's  
running elegantly, softly like a breeze 
he does so with such majestic ease 
oh what a tease 
I do not have his knees to please 
I glance at his joy and freedom 
wishing for a single moment 
that I, could be him 
gliding with an outstretched upwards chin 
a rainbow shone up high 
printed against a very dull sky 
as I follow with my eyes, to reach the end 
I do not see a pot of gold, as the stories do depend 
but I see better, than all mans gold and worth 
I see a wild stallion 
a horse on a patch of extended untouched earth 
running free against the wind I see 
oh that horse I long to be, 
he runs as if he has no care
An untamed mane blowing viscously everywhere 
he is a soul filled with dare 
he is off 
boundless 
he has no rope, securing him still 
he has but a free wondrous will.

The Seen and the Unseen

The Seen And The Unseen

You send to me a great desire
Like the heat from an ever burning fire
No pale of water
Could evaporate the heat from you
The heat burns strong
And deeply untrue
Oxygen is what I can provide
Take what you can
We will equally divide
All elements consist of a balance
We all have an ounce of valence
Coursing through our being
I can't function
Without your chemical bond
The seen and the unseen
So you see
You I am quite fond
Its hard to abstain
When with you I accumulate much gain
I will retain any energy you send my way
As long as we carry on and live for today
I absorb the beauty you fill my vision with
I absorb the fiery smoked air with my lungs
Giving me a taste of the old oak tree
The old soul that yearns to be.

What Mankind Forgot

(What Mankind Forgot)

We forgot our place in life
We forgot how to be alive
We forgot our connection to life and the cosmos
We filled our homes, schools and hospitals with the killer asbestos
We forgot our ancient wisdom
We forgot the wisdom from the opening of our heart the knowledge and stories of How we did come About and how we did start
We forgot the knowledge of natures forces
We forgot the power from the deepest of sources
We stole from our planet and are using up all of its resources
We forgot our path and our dreams
We polluted our once purest streams
We took from earth many things we did not need
We built cars, planes and trains that pumped out poison that us and our future Generations are Expected to breathe
We have to take we cannot leave
We ditched our horses and bred them wild
But wild they are not
Their help and ability we forgot
We forgot our true purpose
We are caught in the mass trance of fabricated consensual reality
We lost sight of our authenticity
That inner spark that drives us towards our happiness and self-realization
We lost our True destiny
We forgot that we are here to be realized as spiritual beings embodied in a physical form and Embedded in a congenial universe
We forgot that everything revolves around and is love
We forgot how to love and be loved
We live on bended knees to a force that isn't seen with thy eye 
That should see the truth
We cannot see without the proof
We forgot what we once stood for
We shunned it out and locked the door
We are no more
What we once was
Mankind has lost all scense of what it means to be free
Be bend down and hand away our pride and dignity
To the power that over rules our reason to exist
We are stranded and scared in a forever descending mist.

Oak Tree

(Oak Tree)

trees stand in a line
like soldiers of our time
they solute as I walk
with branches leering high
blotches of light
is all that appears of the sky
a sea of green
on the ground is seen
with a path like a salmon pink stream
another tree
appears at the end
made of half sky and half green land
an oak tree makes a stand
a tree from many trees
or is it all pretend
without the structure off these trees
could this image of this tree descend?
is there a hidden legend
within this view i see
why does it spring out
so enticingly to me?

Emerald Green

(Emerald Green )



Those are a god given gift 
that you sure know how to use
They know just how to defuse
Any kind of mood
You give a kiss of gold
With just a look
I'm sold
Eyes of emerald green I've seen
They look like they come from deep a dream
You are the dream 
They are so bright with a spark 
a sheen of antique green satin
Girl you are to me like Saturn
A glance at you is divine and flattering
They shine just like you
Like a diamond in the morning dew
Girl I've seen a few
But none like you
Eyes of emerald green
Nothing like I've ever seen
A look deep within your soul
You have taken me to many a thousand worlds
They shine and stand out 
like gathered in the coral many a thousand pearls
Deep in the ocean girl
One look at you and my hearts in whirls
You are an ocean of your own
One look at you and girl I'm blown
Away to the very atom of which I began my life
You make me see the reason of my very existence
That came to be
One look at your soul
And I know you belong with me.

Yorkshire Tiger

Yorkshire Tiger
      On the prowl
        A jump to hunt
    A run on the street
        Howling and hissing
   At every stray
      That you meet                                         
   Yorkshire Tiger
      Proud and strong
   With a hardy stare
     Quite vicious and long
 Yorkshire Tiger
    Adverse
      To many of your kind
  With that long standing tail
     Prominent waggling behind
  Yorkshire tiger
     Your coat so shiny
        It sparkles
    In the days blazing heat
       Strutting up and down
    The filthy street
      With eyes
    Of golden pearls
  With feet sturdy
     Silent and discreet
  Yorkshire tiger
      Ears that twitch and stand
        To attention
     Your presence
        Worthy of a mention
    Yorkshire tiger
       Purrs and purrs
     At home
        He is quiet
     He no longer
        Spits and slurs
     Nor hiss's but he will defer
       In the company of his queen
    When in his vision
       You are seen
    He changes
       He is sweet natured
   Not mean tempered
      In any given way
   For you are his one and only
      In the moment of today
   Yorkshire Tiger
      He grasps you while he may
        Softly claws you
      In the kindest way
        As if to say
     Love me
        Hold me
     Take care of my life
        I hold you dear in my heart
     If you do the same
       I promise we will not
    Have any kind of strife
 Yorkshire Tiger
    Gentle your soul is to mine
  I shall sit with you
    And I shall dine
 I shall play
   I shall challenge your character
 If you learn and still be true
     I'll be that goodness
  of sweet nectar to you.

Eternal Light

Eternal light
Shines on you and i
Enriching the soul
And all that is
Grow towards
The heavenly glow
Bask
In the diamonds of energy
That empowers all life
On earth
Let it bathe you
With all its glory
A sturdy source
Shall consume the lands of time
It is
You are
All that is divine
You know
What will come of thee
Once your moment
Doth arise
Your once prolapsed ego
Shall seize
And neutralize
Mankind shall recreate
What mankind
Chose to forget
You shall do
What your forefathers did
Without much regret
For if thy purpose
Is ignored
You are sure to be the threat
And a loss of life
Is limninent
Time itself will stop.

Raindrop

For is that crystals upon the glass I see
Why do they fall so magically?
What's the reason they have come to be?
To be swallowed up in my sight
So enticingly?
Could they be just imaginary?
Why do they linger only for show?
Is there more to there short existence
That we do not know?
Were they sent to support life unseen?
Or are they trickling, descending, dripping
To wash these stains
Fogging up my view?
Or do they harbor a stronger will?
Or is it mere echo's of illusion?
Made so
By my apparent disappearance
Of strict adherence
To my mind you sent all these
While I see you
Wither with the breeze
Splitting here
Splitting there
Every part of you sailing through
This toxic air
But you are no longer
Here nor are you there
Your presence passed by unaware
But you lay secretly everywhere.

The Eagles Essence

The Eagles Essence

An eagle
Fly's above the lands
Upon a perch 
he so proudly stands

With a swift glide
To the ground
He lands 

gladly not to shaky hands
But he remains
A wild soul with plans

Cascading past the clouds
Floating with the breeze
Majestically 
with ease

A golden essence drowns his feathers
Grappling at its prey
Clutched tight as it severs

Not a chance to stand
His dinner now devoured
Gone no morsel left of his catch
Off he fly's 
to find his match
