A place for poetry - for anyone who wants to play

.

You sat before me implying
I was the lesser friend
My humble response in silence
you could not comprehend

While you made righteous accusations
my lips were sealed
I went to a place beyond your scope
lands beyond your fields

I was the lesser friend you implied
yet you could not spell my name
“You are losing a beautiful friend” you cried
yet you asked my age again

My lips were touched, with silence
another world my centre
My existence you could not comprehend
my world you could not enter

I was still there as your friend
yet you only spoke of violence
While you were filled with tears
on leaving
I was filled with silence

You sat before me implying
I was the lesser friend
My humble response in silence
you could not comprehend

fstop... biggrin that leaves us with existence...



Suspense on the edge of a leaf
a dew drop

Firm under your feet
a grain of sand

Bending in a river
a reed

Embracing a tree
a sheet of bark

Resting on the tip of your tongue
a word

Fleeting image in your mind
a thought

Feeling in your gut
an emotion

The touch on your skin
a sensation

Existence reaches and touches us in many ways...

So I asked..
help me understand "never ending"
then added
confirm that "forever" exists
and again,
Why should I hang onto "always"?

when tomorrow I'm not really sure of?

Forever more, Forever more
A man made fairy tale
I am a man made concept
For ever chasing my tail

To know that there is an end
Is too disturbing to mankind
Infinity keeps us boundless
And helps us ignore our time

and time is too persistant,
so we have this in the mix...

"Imagine a steel orb the size of the sun.

And every day, at the exact time
2 billion doves tap the orb once,..with their wings.

When the orb is worn out.."

sunset symphony
calming waves
you set middle way
you set between the sky and the sea
reflections on and in the water
purity comes to shore
calmly,first in small thought
together then as one
sun high above serenity
offering it's own wonders
shine brightly world
tunnel of pink light
ray of hope in our and my worlds
all will be fine as suggested by this picture
pink is what I love
and is what all should love
it is love

Funk will wake our slumber
from the deep down of under

Our soul set free
as we move & shake across your sea

The bass transcends us
from any binds in time

As our bodies sway in rhythm
and we lose our minds in rhyme

I dance to your sunset
Your waves become the orchestra of my sea
I find you in my centre, my sky
Your reflection in the water flows toward me

What we held pure
Washes up on our sands
Peaceful images and thoughts
Held in the palms of our hands

I have these pictures of you
In minds eye, surrounded in pink
And on its borders it writes
'I love you' in purple ink

Hazel Christmas

The snow doesn't fall
When you're not around
I can't hear anything
without hearing your sound

The Christmas tree lights
but it isn't the same
When I don't see us
Next to the fireplace

Christmas can't be black
But a time to celebrate
But I can't have you back
For that it's too late

I see a Christmas rose
I would've picked for you
But I guess it waited
too long to bloom
Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together

BLACK RIBBON

She watches life through a broken window
Rain lashes across her bed
She curls up tight, seems to keep the frost out
And dreams of something else instead
It’s been two weeks since the world fell in
And let the weather creep in from outside
Now she’s looking forward to the summer’s end
To the chill that only death can provide

She rolls over, smiles, though it’s bitter-sweet
She wears one glove for two hands, two socks on cold feet
And though she’s known all along it was over
She’ll come back again, to try again

As she steps over pieces of broken glass
She sees a picture lying cracked by the door
She gets a flashback to a family party
Knows she’s never had a birthday before
So she imagines what it’s like to be the special one
The girl who gets to blow the candles out
And if she could just get it just once her way
She’d be in heaven already no doubt

She’d wear a black ribbon in her hair
She’d have a hiding place under the stair
And though she’d known all along it was over
She’d come back again, to try again
To try again
Come back again
To try again
Come back again

Her version wink

The broken window watches me
Through fragments of the past
The cracks invite the rain
My mind someplace else I cast

2 weeks ago it got very cold
I’m begging the mocking summer end
And if winter should take hold
Maybe I could try again, again

Out of bed and onto the floor
Glass cracks beneath my feet
I’ve never celebrated me before
Broken glass, picture frames, family images of defeat

If only there was something for me
I’d wear a black ribbon in my hair
Into the heavens I could see
Grant myself a hiding place under the stair

Though I’ve known all along it was over
I will return again
Better than reality… sober
Hence I will come back, return again, again

Nothing is as beautiful
Without you around
I hear you in everything
Your very, every sound

The Christmas tree is pretty
But doesn’t light me up like you do
The fireplace is not as inviting
Without it’s glow on your face, on you

Christmas is a time to celebrate
yet your loss I feel
All is too late
And for me this is real

I pick you as my Christmas rose
For you are my bloom
Waiting too long
I lost you too soon

EmbattledWarri
or

Desert Spaces

Verse 1
It has been two years,
since our love has gone.
From a sorrow that's
Been nipping at our heels.
A child, a daughter,
only five years old
and a collision that has
rung out through the years

Verse 2
Here we are imprisoned,
between darkness and belief
Alone you suffer
Still i wonder what you see
Wish you'd place
these burdens over me
Rest on my shoulders
and slowly fade into a dream

Hook 1
Behind these eyes lies
a stranger now to you,
Hundred thousand times
I've tried to touch you
Couldn't penetrate the walls
of your solitude
That's been chipping away
At this house we made
out of love.

Verse 3
These demons, they linger
Linger in the snow.
Stealing the wanderlust
that use to fill our hearts.
And this burning candle
is fading, oh so slow,
wish i could bring you through
this endless falling that seems so long

Hook 2
Behind these eyes lies
a stranger now to you.
A world of desert spaces,
this place is silent like a tomb
On the floor the emptiness
begins to envelop you
And your just withering away
in this house we made
I'm too strong to stand this
too weak to let you stay
Beside you, i will lay
In this house we made
out of love
I am a Rail Road, Track Abandoned
With the Sunset forgetting, i ever Happened

It’s 10.42 and all the lights go out
It’s about the time you start creeping about
You got pockets of surprises that’d shock your friends
Revenge is in the air, you’re gonna make amends
The reasons are blurry and you were out of your face
It took 3 guys to get you out of that place

You think they said something about your sister
One maybe had her number and had possibly kissed her
They said to watch your back when you were walking home
You’d get a knife in the ribs if you were on your own

So you are standing in the street with your closest mate
Murder in your eyes you start to contemplate
You’re waiting in the dark, for your chance of action
So you can get him quickly without any distraction
You’ll take him out of the game, clean and smooth
You look at your watch it’s about time to move

You have the escape planned, the car awaits
With it’s massive wheels from the United States
You planned this out, it’s worth a risk or two
An end to the insults you incessantly pursue

Yet something happened that you weren’t expecting
You got a bottle to the head when you were least suspecting
You fall to the ground and the boots connect
The sound of silence you had failed to detect
Your world goes black as you hit the concrete
You’re being stamped under by hate-filled feet

It was on the news, about a brutal beating
When you and death came close to meeting
No one seemed to care, most smiled with joy
They’d all at least once wished harm on this boy

Comas aren’t cool, they’ve got no street cred
No one envied you drinking your meal through a straw
There’s nothing smart about winding up dead
Or with 15 pins in your shattered jaw
You can’t get alloys for your new wheelchair
And you can’t stop messing up your underwear
Your sister still sees him cause she hates you too
Though you can’t remember anything that you once knew

Desert Spaces


Our love slipped through
And in it’s place sorrow grew
One year in waiting
developed into two

The very one we lost
Her memory we mourn
She began in our love
She taught us
to love and loss we are born

Suffering alone
We’re bound together see
What’s going on for you
Does include me

I search for you in your eyes
I’m reaching for you now
Yet you are absent
I wish I could contact you somehow

This sadness does linger
engulfing our hearts
Stealing us away
Keeping us apart

I lay beside you silent
entrapped in our tomb
emptiness and loss envelopes us
yet for you I always have room
I lay beside you waiting
For us to come through
For the love we had and lost
Is about me and you
You are not alone
I’m here
Waiting

The chapters of us I did turn
Though my fingers began to burn
With you many things I did learn
Yet for this ecstatic love my heart did yearn
4 u the 1 I loved

In my skin I still remember
Not bound by time nor space, just whenever
Like the touch of us together
That did not last however
It was us, and nothing is, nor is not, forever

calmly,first in small thought
together then as one
sun high above serenity
offering it's own wonders
shine brightly world
tunnel of pink light
ray of hope in our and my worlds
all will be fine as suggested by this picture
pink is what I love
and is what all should love

Your waves become the orchestra of my sea

What we held pure
Washes up on our sands
Peaceful images and thoughts
Held in the palms of our hands

I have these pictures of you
In minds eye, surrounded in pink
And on its borders it writes
'I love you' in purple ink
