Sorrowful
I am truly sorrowful,
For hurting those so beautiful,
Those with a broken heart,
That unfortunately had to depart,
Never was it my intention to,
Make anyone blue,
All I wanted was someone to love and hold,
Someone I felt was more precious than gold,
To be a couple in love,
Not once again given the shove,
Find that special someone,
Who shines like the sun,
Maybe I have already passed her by,
Or should I not even try,
Stupid I may appear I try not to lose hope,
Better to hold onto that than swinging from a rope,
So it seems I must...

three little words
Intense feelings for you,
Life shows us when it feels so true,
Openly shown but hidden in sight,
Very soon you see delight,
Eventually you may find,
You are always on my mind,
Openly showing affection,
Undeniably trying to get your attention.
Life shows us when it feels so true,
Openly shown but hidden in sight,
Very soon you see delight,
Eventually you may find,
You are always on my mind,
Openly showing affection,
Undeniably trying to get your attention.

nowhere's trip
Swinging from a rope,
To runaway with her to elope,
Find the warrior’s blade,
See how sharp it has been made,
To feel the cool swift silver zephyr’s slice,
Somehow feels like sleeping on ice,
To let the red river flow onto the cold ground,
How the silence of the river makes the greatest sound,
The gunfighter’s gun,
Never to know that quick blast,
Let’s do what cannot be undone,
Just a click to hear the last,
A last medical experiment,
Just to be forever content,
Trying to fly with angels from up on high,
Letting one last sigh as we...

no one sees
No more love for me,
Not that anyone can see,
It seems I have no wont to stay,
Not that I want it to be this way,
It just seems that,
Love to me is like a cat,
Snobbish, aloof and with little tact,
This is a fact,
That I want to be loved,
Not to be once again shoved,
Though I do stupid things,
Even with sending dumb messaging,
Letting my mind come undone,
Would it be easier with the shooter’s gun?
Just take the short cut way,
So I could just float away,
To just be eternally free,
Floating along the ether so merrily.

Hope, is it lost?
Staring at the television blankly,
There’s just me,
Feeling nothing at all,
I'm an unwanted picture on a wall,
Cursed to be alone,
Like I’ve committed a heinous sin that can never be atoned,
Messed up the best thing I had,
I guess I will have to live with being sad,
Walking through this mind fog,
No one to guide me not even a dog,
Left to wander around,
Not able to make a sound,
No one looks my way,
Pass me by not wanting to stay,
Left to my own device,
Feeling like I get stares of ice,
Shut out in the cold,
Looks like I’m...

lost child
Hello to my empty house,
Feeling small like a lonely mouse,
A show never seen,
As if I’m a has been,
The dark is creeping in,
That poor monk left to atone for a deadly sin,
Nowhere to go,
Sitting in the fading glow,
Once again a lonely night,
Out of everyone’s sight,
Slipping into melancholy,
Maybe I’m just being silly,
Letting paranoia get the better of me,
Should I just let it be?
Sighing a lonely sigh,
Watching hours go by,
A pariah of the land,
Useless as beach sand,
No one is here,
Feeding my silly fear,...

Firecracker
Oh firecracker, firecracker burns so bright,
All too quickly in the dark of night,
For a brief moment you lit up the sky,
With an almighty bang off you go way up high,
Like an exploding star in space,
Never wanting more than smiles on their face,
Your brief existence here on earth,
Giving children great joy and mirth,
Showing off colours so bright and bold,
Childhood memories worth more than gold,
Held on into their sleep,
Leaving them with a smile
Never making them weep,
Just very happy for a while.

rants of a listener
Why is it when you need to talk?
Everyone seems to baulk,
But when they want you to listen,
You be a good friend to hear as their tears glisten,
To hear all their troubles they bare,
Just because they know you care,
Always giving but never wanting to take,
So many feelings bottled up inside,
Sometimes you just want to say for goodness sake,
Feelings bouncing around like a swirling tide,
A cyclone blowing everything into its path,
Feeling like my heart is the aftermath,
Though I feel guilty,
Or am I just being silly,
I know I should be...

nutty flakes
Too much flying in my head,
Laying here in my comfy bed,
Thoughts running through my brain,
As though I have more than one psychotic train,
Running around up there,
Whistling and tooting without a care,
Madness drips from the roof,
While a black cat on the ceiling remains quite aloof,
Gremlins and leprechauns run rampant on the walls,
While the fairies and pixies fly about the halls,
Dust bunnies bounce about willy nilly,
While the mad hatter thinks everyone else is silly,
Absolutely off their chops,
While the greys on acid create weird...

ode to rain
Pitter patter on the roof of tin,
This makes such a beautiful din,
So relentless is the rain,
Clouds burst under the strain,
From downpour to the lightest drizzle,
Sometimes accompanied by lightning’s sizzle,
Then thunder’s boom,
Brightens the bleary gloom,
The soothing sound of its tattoo,
From so many drops to just a few,
As soon as it starts,
It suddenly quite hurriedly departs,
Leaving such a peculiar smell,
That you will remember so well,
There is that stillness after the rain,
It seems to have cleansed all tension and strain,...

love eternal
His life had its ups and downs,
A lot of smiles and frowns,
He had his fair share of heartaches and despairs,
Gotten a few grey hairs from plenty of frightening scares,
Plenty of laughs,
Even a good few walks along garden paths,
Thought he had it all but something amiss,
All his life he was looking for that special miss,
The one of his dreams with hair of fire,
She’s is the object of his desire,
As they walked past each other one day,
Their eyes looked deep into each other’s soul,
They couldn’t look away,
There was an attraction like...

tears unseen .
Tear drops fall on my pillow,
Like leaves from a willow,
As the salty river runs down my face,
Everything seems out of place,
Though I am feeling fine,
Nothing helps in this futile quest of mine,
All alone,
Dreams of things I cannot condone,
All end in tragic way,
Though I guess it might happen soon some day,
Only a few are there,
Alas most are busy when I need someone to care,
Wrapped in a bubble,
A world with someone in deep trouble,
No one to lend a hand,
Feeling like I am in quicksand,
No one to help me out,
All seems too...
