I Could've been.
It's weird to think how things could've turned out if I had taken a different path.
***
I could've been in staying in the hottie's room
I could've been the kid who was hooked on playing Doom.
I could've walked brighton's shore with you emo girl hand in hand.
I could've lost you and be swallowed by the sand.
I could've been the red rambling about the working man.
I could've been the bold party animal still living at home
I could've left for who knows where and been all alone.
I could've been the 9 -5er in Edinburgh's bustle.
I could've marched...

Narrator
I keep having this recurring dream
I’m watching my life on a movie screen
I’m the narrator and
The audience of every scene
***
I was born a baby under the sun
I’ve made mistakes
Just like anyone….
Full of grace
She was my first ,my last
My heart tied to that place
It’s grey stone could be the only place
I could ever call home.
***
01
The towers came crashing down
My eyes could not believe
A new dawn I could not conceive.
I ate of the apple
And saw the sky shift.

Speak Right.
Some explanation is required.I'm not advocating we stop caring about spelling, just I'm saying stop being so arrogant as to think there's only one certain way to use language for a certain purpose...No escape it seems,
"Please avoid using all caps and check your writing for spelling and grammar mistakes (avoid textspeak, use proper words)."

"What are U in 4?"

" Apparent Misuse of language"...
1 slip up an the SS will be afta U
They will make U pay
wiv a torture by Dicktionary

Straight from the heart to the page.
Written here as it came out.
**
I could've posted an older poem
but I had to get this off my chest
I'm not sure what's going on right now
I'm somewhere between bliss and hair pulling distressed.
Once upon a time..well, maybe recently
I loved a girl who was such a mystery
who had no clue as to how she felt towards me.
I don't plot blame on her head.
She's been made someone of careful tread.
But god damn it's tough.She talks these vague blurs
and I pick up signals she'd like me to be hers...
but othertimes I'm not so sure ...

Amo unites us.
Tweren't a man who loves peace more than I
But I'd launch the battle, if a tear fell from her eye-
Not a dew drop would I let unsettle her
nor Mankind's dire failings find her path
by hate or jealousy or grievous wrath.
She makes paltry the concerns of this temple of shadows,
She's like the lamb leading to greener grass and warmer meadows.
She is the spring, humble hope ,
She is human dignified and authentic
and through the darkness of a harsh uncertainty she does grope.
captivating and sublime like the clear starry sky, ...

Love is simple.
The predecessor to You Have A Beautiful Soul.
***
Love as simple as saying what you mean
Taking in the sight of you
Is like a breath of air so clean.
Your smile is the sight I live to see
You make me think what a pleasure just to be
I wish I could show you how much you mean to me.
Because I love you baby, More than you will ever know
know I tell you all the time.
I thought I’d let you know
The world is greater, The more soul you show.
If you could hold me forever, I could stay strong through stormy weather.
It’s the little...

You type those words so methodical
You type those words so methodical,
It's as if what your saying is mythological
And I've come so far since I held those truths in my hand
Like the world didn't worry me yet I was weighed upon so I didn't stand.
I've met and I've fled
those very same things that I once said.
There was something so peaceful in 4am dawn
that made those bus rides not seem very long.
Summers without concern contrast with the holding of that urn
with the flames that burn
a hole ,a hold on memories
No one knows of times I wrote
my pen my only connection to...

Used To Be, A Story Of Loss
Life is a hard struggle
a war against regret
fight for forgiveness or to forget.
somewhere along the way I lost myself.
I used to know what life was about
used to be life was about growing up
not growing apart
used to be life was a sunshine dream
not a cold hard knife in the heart.
Things aren't how their supposed to be
Once I was happy
it was stolen from me
once I was happy
it was stolen from me
Once I was happy
ONCE! ! !
Summers at an end
harsh winter's come
hard leaves will fall
and show I'm not that...

It was meant to be - scene 2.
When I first came across your beauties.I was startled and perplexed.To know such a wonder,such an amazing thing existed in the world sent my soul soaring through the solar system and my mind raced on through the entrapment of a lifetime of being stuck..no..bound to your company.Tis a blissful imagining.
Oh let me be with my loved and dearest.Let me live forever with ....CAKE!

Sorry to burst the bubble.I like to mess with my image as a serious poet :P
Check out It was meant to be Scene 1 for the fuller effect.

Married eyes with Moloch
Inspired by Baudelaire and Edgar Allan Poe.
****
A red wild Cherub
blazed across the bleak vast.
Despondency rose in me
- a Leviathan to tear from the bones of me--
like Kraken out from under the sea.
She grabbed my arm
Hollow eyes like a cadaver.
Breathed hot vixen breath
-stullifying obnoxious breath-
poisonous like the black death.
Her face rigid and stern
like a coffin case.
She devoured my heart
-my waif world weary heart-
Abyssmal obvilion of my soul.

How To Fail At Life
To Hurt Is Human
To Be happy, Divine.
Some people find joy
one day I'll find mine.
I walk through the darkness
struggling to find the light,
without any strength within me
to try to put up a fight.
give me a reason to live
cause dying looks easy to me.
Burn me in your memory
find me in the cemetery.
meet me at the wake
eyes full of tears with heartbreak.
the world is to me, painted only in colours of grey
I have an ache in my heart that says I'm not okay.
-Written Circa 2010.

Last Summer.
a re-write of a piece I've had floating around since 2007/2008.
***
Last Summer
they just said NO
The sun hung low
no one spoke
ours hearts were broke.
Awake till the dawn
Life went on
Acting like theres nothing wrong.
I fell to pieces while the world stood by
walking your hometown under a bleak shadow
A hole in the world no one could ever fill.
those wounds that wouldn't heal,
those tears I couldn't conceal
who could I look to now?
who could I tell my day to now?
Your coat and hat hung on the wall in the hall...
