THOUGHTS, DREAMS AND VISIONS OF INSANITY.
WORDS BY ROSS DOUGLAS.
ALL ORIGINAL WORK.

A Poem for my sis,

She's A multi Billion to one chance
who enjoys this merry dance,
called life,
In a way that i do not.
She's the sum of a million stars,
and the mother to angels,
She is nature,
She's the one god made my sister.

Untitled.

Carrying a burden known to no man
Her broken wing takes away the gift of flight
Not able to fly when I know she can
With love her wings will be alright.

I'll give my heart to ease her pain
I'd give my life so she can fly again
I feel her pain inside my soul
I'd give my all to make her whole.

A hand extended across the sea
A heart that knows of it's destiny
Only words are these things
But with them and love I give her wings.

For Lena.

Let the love in you loose.
Each day in everyway.
Never forget who you are.
Always see truth.
Just be yourself.
And all else will follow.
Nothing to fear but fear itself.
After all you are loved.

For Tee.

She cries herself to sleep at night
when lonleyness comes to call
what could I do to make it alright?
to save her from her fall?

She knows not how to show her love
with touches or with words.
She only walks upon the ground
instead of flying like a bird.

She desires naught but love
unselfish, open and true.
She seeks naught but love
to make her grey skies blue.

Angel from above.

I wrote a girl a poem
to show what’s in my soul
I wonder if she realises
with her I could be whole.

I’d give her all my dreams
if she would be with me
I’d give her all my being
if she would set me free.

I would never hurt her
or ever cause her harm
I only want to hold her
and keep her safe and warm.

without her in my heart
I am an empty shell
with her I’m in heaven
without her I’m in hell.

can I live without her
this woman whom I love
could I live without her
this angel from above.

MISSING INSIDE.

Missing you. I’m lost, not yet found.
If I live to be a granddad will you still be around?

I SEE YOU.

I see you in my dreams every night.
And I pray that I don’t wake up
Because in my dreams you hold my hand
And kiss my heart tenderly.

INEXPRESSIBLE

The words don’t come easy
The choices are so hard
Life is not all bright and breezy
And my words don't travel far.

LONELY RUNNER

I want to run away from myself
But no matter how far I run
I'll always be wherever I run to.

FOR JEN.

my heart is empty without your love inside
my life is ebbing away like the retreating tide

JUST JEN.

Like a moth to a flame
I am drawn to you
Will you ever feel the same?
And stop me feeling blue?

Gill.

Where will it ever end? how did it start?
how did you get into my heart?
how did you scale my highest wall?
will you catch me if I fall...

you touch my soul and lift my spirit
if I brushed your heart could I win it?
which path to choose? what way to go?
should I hide or should I show...

the admiration I have for you
that makes the grey skies azure blue
and lights the world with golden light
I was blind but now have sight...

CONFUSIONAL.

The spirit has separated from the whole
And divided the inseparable
Like the yin without the yang
The tear without the eye
Floating upward, spiralling down.

IMAGINATION

Will you ever make my phone ring
can I ever make your heart sing
a song of love so deep and true.

IMAGES

I found a picture of your smiling face,
tucked away in a corner, gone but not forgotten.
I search my mind for happy memories but I find only regrets.
regrets of us separating
regrets of the unborn
I carry my pain alone
I need the weight lifted from my heart
so it may fly again
to reach the heights it soared to before

RISK

should I take the chance?
should I take the risk?
to hold her close if we dance
to tell her all if we kiss.
the future is unseen
like a half-forgotten dream
glimpsed only in the mind
if you search will we ever find?
my heart and mind are fragmented
because my soul has never relented
from the search for a girl
who makes my spirit swirl.

FADING OUT OF VIEW

The light fades as the sun sets
lengthening shadows but not regrets
they all remain the same
full of anguish and full of pain.

A SONG FOR SAM

I wrote a song for sam
to say I am
nothing special just a man
so I wrote a song for sam
I wish I had the voice to sing
the words to stop your sadness
but I feel I can’t do a thing
so I tumble towards madness

DISCOVERY

Trying to discover
my tender lover
trying to find
my shattered mind.

THE BIRDS

A thousand eyes are watching me
scanning me with murderous glee
they think that killing sets me free
what I am they must be.

SHOUTED

WHO’S IN CHARGE?
I DEMAND TO KNOW!
TAKE THE DEATH
AND FUCKING GO!

SOLAR SOLUTIONS

We call the moon, the moon
and the sun, the sun
I think we named them far too soon
as if they are the only ones
