I May Be Lying In The Gutter

Hostility blocking my dreams
Tears, tears, I cried
My biggest fears it seems
Who I am deep inside.

On a night like this
My mind searches
The depths of reality
While darkness lurches.

Finishing a journey in my life
What’s ahead I do not know
Where uncertainty is rife
Forward, forward, I must go.

I may be lying in the gutter
But I’m looking up at the stars
Away with my pride I utter
Deep inside is full of scars.

Days

Miserable grey, damp wet Days
Days shorter and winters Long
Long bleak dark Evenings
Evenings as black as pitch.

Bright frosty cold Mornings
Mornings glistening in the Sun
Sun shines cold as the Day
Day soon will become night.

Snow crisp and White
White flurries fall from the Sky
Sky as white as the Day
Day fades into a crisp evening.

Days engulfed with Floods
Floods devastating your Home
Home unfit to live In
In shelter we seek comfort.

Dreams Aspire to Reach the Sky

Sports men and women ready
All wanting to aspire to their dreams
Each with goals to set
Within their own teams.

In an Olympic event
On the track ready to run
Making sure you don't come last
People cheering you on.

In a moment of peace
Like when Doves fly
Tears flow down their cheeks
As dreams aspire to reach the sky.

2012 They came to London
They competed, they won and lost
Returned to their own countries
Memories forever embossed.

Two Hearts Beating As One

Magical moments of pure sweet passion
Flutters within my hearts devotion
Two hearts beating they know it's just right
The beat grows stronger then fades in the night.

Hungry for your heart beating with mine
Longing to be with you all the time
The miracle of the beat drawing us closer
Two hearts beating within one another.

You saved me a place within your heart
Letting me stay never to part
Two hearts beating strong and true
Two hearts beating as one, not two.

St. Pat's Day

Today is St. Patrick's Day
When little people are seen
It may be a load of blarney
The forty shades of green.

St. Patrick was a gentleman
He was a saint so clever
Drove all the snakes from Ireland
And banished them forever.

I'll wear a four leafed shamrock
And Irish songs I'll sing
I'll toast with Irish whiskey
A Leprechaun to bring.

If I can catch this Leprechaun
And on to him keep hold
I'll go to the end of the rainbow
And claim his pot of gold.

Infatuation

Inflow of confetti, brings happiness and fun
Newly wed romance in the November sun
From the valley of dreams, mid the hills and dales
Azure the sky and green the vales
Tantalizing melodies in the afternoon air
Unaware of love lingering everywhere
Against the backdropp of a cloudless sky
The snow capped mountain stands so high
Infatuation or love? A beautiful sight
Oblivious of day turning into night
Nostalgia enters, and music plays in the moonlight.

Mellow Autumn

Autumns rich mellow flavoured air
Unmasked, the trees are now bare.

Seldom do we hear the birds sing
When the Autumn leaves are falling.

Smoke trails from the burning leaves
Carried on the light cool breeze.

The scent of spiced apple days
In the suns golden haze.

The Pine towering heavenly high
Dropping fragrances on passres by.

Smell the crisp refreshing air
Wind is blowing everywhere.

The leaves they scatter without sound
Gently cascading to the ground.

No Simple Life

Life is simple but not for me
It's just not easy doing ABC
People think that I'm lazy
I just thought I was going crazy
It's hard to do my work I find
Because It's always on my mind
Reading, writing and arithmetic
Do I really have to do it
Not being able to read, write or spell
Living in this bubble of hell
I try to escape from thoughts and strife
No one knows my secret life
Or the struggle that I face each day
Dyslexia is real and it's here to stay.

Life is simple, it's just not easy.

A Day In My Life

A day in my life
I wish you could see
Just what it's like
To be plain me.

A little bit picky
A stickler for what's right
When the giong is tough
I read poetry all night.

When yesterdays anger
Storms into my way
I raid my silent mind
And hope for a better day.

When evening draws near
Sadness cascades down my face
It's you that I turn to
With a smile to replace.

No Thoughts

My mind is empty from thought
I am nowhere, I am everywhere, I am free
Of things that was once taught
I look and do not see.

I think about nothings, no thoughts
No feelings, no sight, no touch
I walked and mused on hidden truths
My awareness expanding so much.

There is no turning back
The illusion can never be true
When the veil is lifted
I will see my way through.

What is not real will not last
There's calm in the knowing
This time I have been waiting for
An incredible change that is flowing.
