Words Unspoken

I love you, you once said to me
Those words made my fears flee
They filled my heart with cheers
All I seem to hear is your jeers
I now know they are not true
You won’t make my heart blue
Words unspoken

Never meant this to upset you
Saying words won’t make them true
I want to show how much I care
For you have now put me there
Words are easily spoken
Don’t mean more than words unspoken.

three words to say, I have tried
Just as often as I’ve cried
Place your hand upon my heart
And as it beats our love can start
My heart says what words can’t say
I pray you’ll know, I’ll always stay

Love is much more than a feeling
Doesn’t always begin with healing
It is more than showing you care
Giving much more than you share
Love is our unspoken words
Our heart beat with one chord

My inner heart speaks softly
With words that are not lofty
My entire being sings a song
That’s say to you do I belong
Everyday words in my mind
Never a purer love I will find

This is first time in a while
I have felt my heart smile
You have put my love in motion
For you have fired my emotion
I will never use words as token
Listen to these words I have spoken

Remember those who life were sacreficed

Ireland 2

It is time to celebrate our nation centenary
Rebels for our nation we weren't born
Enshrining our visions for a united land
Leaving a legacy for each and every citizen
Accept this gift of freedom that was fought
Never forget that in our nation darkest hour
Deep within us let us be proud of being Irish

Scotland 2

Scots they be a hardy bunch in any weather
Ceilidhs yae dance to bagpipes and drums
Oats might be simple, but they are our fuel
Tourists are strangers but are true friends
Laughter like fine medicine, so a wee dram
A wee walk oot in fields of Heather yae go
Nothing will beat open doors and fresh air
Did yae get a wee chill, or find life in the hill

Scotland

Surely a country with it beauty is it wealth
Come visit not just the big city but it towns
Once you see the rustic charms they'll give
Take a tour through hills yon mighty glens
Life shouldn't be all bustle and strife relax
Awhile, visit the Isles, take a walk up braes
Nothing will fill your lungs like the fresh air
Depart noo oan yir journey have yir holiday

Friendship Tree

On a hill stood a solitary tree
Enshrouded by a sky so blue
Please tell me what you see
I see the friend in the real you

I am a tree with many friends
You will never really ever see
But I know in crisis I can depend
Like the sun, rain and gentle breeze

My roots are grown over the years
Over time they become so strong
Just like you I can shed tears
But our friendship is never wrong

My friend whom you can’t see,
The sun, rain and that gentle breeze
The sun gave me warmth and light
Helped me become this strong tree
The rain quenched my thirst

As for the gentle breeze
She removed all my dead leaf
I am the beautiful tree
That is there for all to see

A solitary tree is never alone, just like friendship is neither, it takes time for the roots to grow and strengthen, so does our friendship, it takes a bit of everything to become what we are and to be accepted as we are, but like the roots of the tree, we shall stand the test of time, even in death new roots are being formed to other trees, just like when that tree was a sapling it friends were always there and nothing can ever make us enough to be friendless.

Now when you look at that solitary tree on the hill, you will always see it in a different light, and it will full you with a new delight

Pokemon

People are walking around playing a game
Out and about I take them all around town
Knowing that they should know far better
Even ignoring the inherent danger I pose
Maybe I should have stayed in the nintendo
Oh come on you know that I'm just a game
Now the time to look up from your phone

Twin Flame

From loves fire our heart came
We will always be one of a kind
We were two flames of one flame
Our true love may be hard to find
Through eternity we will journey
Solo or together we have to see
But we will never be far apart
We will always beat as one heart

I heard your heart speak my name
No longer in the wilderness I rest
It's in the name of love that i came
As one our heart will never rest
Let our love be a beacon of light
May it last far beyond the night

Drugs

DRUGS

Duping myself with that false belief for the
Recreational using of these mind altering
Until I find myself slipping from my sanity
Gripped by the uncontrolled insanity they
Say that I can't survive without them I fear

Learning

Let the mind be free to understand
Education is beyond the written print
Allow everyone to find their own answer
Remember the book is just a useful tool
Never under estimate a person mind
It is able to fully grasp what it needs
Nothing is taught how the brain develops
Gifts of knowledge is giving by the mind
