POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm not a poet I started writing to Express feelings when going through hard times. I hope others can relate to or enjoy what I write
you don't need
You don't need sight to see
You don't need touch to feel
You don't need sleep to dream
You don't need a doctor to heal
You don't need a partner to love
You don't need to receive to give
You don't need wings to fly
Just love the life you live
You don't need touch to feel
You don't need sleep to dream
You don't need a doctor to heal
You don't need a partner to love
You don't need to receive to give
You don't need wings to fly
Just love the life you live

the real me
Friendless selfless low on life
Thoughts cut through me like a knife
No emotion bleeds from me
Nothing behind my eyes to see
How can I be myself
Every situation I'm someone else
Keep masking the real me
Fakness is my reality
Thoughts cut through me like a knife
No emotion bleeds from me
Nothing behind my eyes to see
How can I be myself
Every situation I'm someone else
Keep masking the real me
Fakness is my reality

where did it all go wrong
I watch the day turn to night
See the dieing of the light
With your arms you used to hold
A grip that loosens an air becomes cold
Struggling to breath something once so strong
I kiss despondent lips wondering
Where did it all go wrong
Suddenly no feeling from your touch
Maybe I just loved a little to much
In my arms you used to lay
Now in bed you turn away
I can see the end coming it won't be long
I look into eyes looking through me wondering
Where did it all go wrong
I say I love you and you force a smile
I try to hug you every...

I rarely sleep
Come and feel.alone with me
You can rely on my fallibility
You know I still dream
Although I rarely sleep
In my head my secrets I keep
In my eyes I falsify
Behind a smile I falsely lie
My pillow rests my head
Laying alone again in bed
In my mind are thoughts I'll keep
You know I still dream
Although I rarely sleep
You can rely on my fallibility
You know I still dream
Although I rarely sleep
In my head my secrets I keep
In my eyes I falsify
Behind a smile I falsely lie
My pillow rests my head
Laying alone again in bed
In my mind are thoughts I'll keep
You know I still dream
Although I rarely sleep

here on earth
Ide love to live in a world where God existed
Where good ruled over evil
A world where people live and let be
A world with no social pecking order
No capatalism no terrorism
Where people have choice
Where peace has a voice
A world where money has no worth
But instead I'm stuck right here

another character in the crowd
All the smiles fake and forced
Another cameo performance completed
Words of heart thought not spoken
Like a leaf blowing on the breeze
Slowly fading to brown from green
A drop of rain in the mighty sea
A single drop finally free
I accept your lack of acceptance
A sheep to leave the flock
Another second hand on a ticking clock
Like a bird that flies alone
Loneliness becomes a home
It's not really me you see around you
Just an image to suit your point of view
Another character in the crowd
In a place far to loud
Another cameo performance completed
Words of heart thought not spoken
Like a leaf blowing on the breeze
Slowly fading to brown from green
A drop of rain in the mighty sea
A single drop finally free
I accept your lack of acceptance
A sheep to leave the flock
Another second hand on a ticking clock
Like a bird that flies alone
Loneliness becomes a home
It's not really me you see around you
Just an image to suit your point of view
Another character in the crowd
In a place far to loud

you decide
Who'd want to fit in with the crowd
There far to pretentious far to loud
Ide rather be cast aside
Not just hanging in for the ride
Life's a prison or an open field
Our thoughts become the crop we yield
Grass of green and sky of blue
Or a life lived in rue
There far to pretentious far to loud
Ide rather be cast aside
Not just hanging in for the ride
Life's a prison or an open field
Our thoughts become the crop we yield
Grass of green and sky of blue

all in time
It's cruel how you make me want you so much
A smile soy beautifully coy
Filling my heart with such joy
All the colours of the rainbow in your eyes
For you ide Sever any ties
Tie you up in knots
Girl I love you lots and lots
If only you'd show me your real face
The one in your hiding place
Slip your hand inside of mine
We can have it all in time
If only you'd just let you be
Open the cage set you free
Give life and love a whole new meaning
But I no I'm only dreaming
A smile soy beautifully coy
Filling my heart with such joy
All the colours of the rainbow in your eyes
For you ide Sever any ties
Tie you up in knots
Girl I love you lots and lots
If only you'd show me your real face
The one in your hiding place
Slip your hand inside of mine
We can have it all in time
If only you'd just let you be
Open the cage set you free
Give life and love a whole new meaning
But I no I'm only dreaming

another one
If I was you and you was me then you could see what I can see
An outstretched arm then your gone
Off to fail another one
A soundless scream a lasting pain
Another's blood running through my veins
A dying song then your gone off to sing another one
A winding path an endless road
Littered with seeds I've sewed
Who knows what's to come when the journeys finally done
A heedless call to you all
Picked up then told to fall
A cry for help then your gone
Off to trip another one
A persicution yet no crime
A vision from blind eyes
I looked...

Who knows what's to come when the journeys finally done

all alone
I can't sleep because of my afflictions
I'm not like your depiction of me
Your a walking contradiction for all to see
The pubs and clubs I frequently frequent
Give me time that's heaven sent
Because I wasted so much time I'm spent
My heart was not a home
A lonely vagrant soul I now roam
Dancing to life's more sombre tones
I'm not like your depiction of me
Your a walking contradiction for all to see
The pubs and clubs I frequently frequent
Give me time that's heaven sent
Because I wasted so much time I'm spent
My heart was not a home
A lonely vagrant soul I now roam
Dancing to life's more sombre tones

you look away
In a crowded room I'm all alone
With everyone I'm on my own
I look across and see your face
Someone else who's out of place
My face suddenly welcomes a smile
It stretches as long as a country mile
I look across to catch your eye
I take a breath and release a sigh
My head is filled with things to say
But you never look
You just turn away
With everyone I'm on my own
I look across and see your face
Someone else who's out of place
My face suddenly welcomes a smile
It stretches as long as a country mile
I look across to catch your eye
I take a breath and release a sigh
My head is filled with things to say
But you never look
You just turn away

I still dream
Existence is all I possess
I'm a world that continues to press
Head and heart divided in two teams
A world come undone at the seems
Wealth and respect gave away
Found riches another way
Secrets never to come clean
Still like a child with my dreams
All colours turn to black
No turning round no going back
Lost sight of all I've seen
Lost track of where I've been
Older than I wish to stay
Tripping over obstacles in my way
Fake niceness is just so mean
But I still hold onto the dream
I'm a world that continues to press
Head and heart divided in two teams
A world come undone at the seems
Wealth and respect gave away
Found riches another way
Secrets never to come clean
Still like a child with my dreams
All colours turn to black
No turning round no going back
Lost sight of all I've seen
Lost track of where I've been
Older than I wish to stay
Tripping over obstacles in my way
Fake niceness is just so mean
But I still hold onto the dream
