I am born yet I do not live
I am giving with nothing to give
I have gave all my heart
my heart is broken, should I restart
restart life or restart loving
always giving and never having
I have life but i’m not born
living is not life when your heart is torn

BRING BRING

The phone rings it’s piercing scream
and punctuates the mothers dream
the voice that brings bad information
trys to explain the situation
a terrible accident has occured
two people dead thirteen hurt
a drunken driver at the wheel
the mother thinks this is not real
my baby’s dead, gone forever
love forever not, forgotten never.

GIVE IT AWAY

Should I give up?
or should I live it up?
shall I love again
or try to live through the pain

Poem Zero

You said that I should keep trying
when all the time I was crying
so I must say thank you
even though I said spank you.
you cuddled me when I was in pain
and said there‘s sunshine not rain
I wish I could help you see
I've tried and cried now I want to be free.

Untitled

undecided whether or not to see her,
wishing and praying to be with her.
knowing that she no longer loves me
feeling that she wants to be free
giving my all to the cause of love
hoping and feeling there’s none above.

LONELY

In a crowd but all alone
wanting to be out yet wishing I was home
missing love and kisses
wanting hugs and knowing misses
trying desperately not to cry
wanting my life to slowly die.

Human Doing’s

why is the world in such a mess
is it because of the human pest
who spreads like a cancer upon the land
the power to save ourselves is in our hands

Trepidation

should I call you on the phone?
will it ring? are you alone?
I’d like to ask you for a meal for two
nothing spectacular, just me and you

Travelling

on my way too Timbuktu
the grass is brown, the sky is blue
my dreams dissipate in a cloud of smoke
my life seems like an unfunny joke

Further away

driving me further away
with each passing day
pushing me out of her life
the girl that could have been my wife

Plop

A pebble dropped into a pond
a visitor in a dream
ripples travel far and away
the visitor comes another day

The wood

I wander through the wood alone
no hand to hold to guide me home
no sound to follow
in the wooded hollow
just my own company alone I stand
I only want to hold a hand

destinaro

only I control my destiny
myself alone can change
so I'll grasp the opportunity
and cease to feel so strange

Drunken Dreams

Snakes crawl across my skin
as my nightmare starts to begin
changing into spiders large and mean
then I wake with a piercing scream
that shakes my mind’s foundations
I know they all are my creations
the product of a diseased mind
with a solution I cannot find.

Future unseen

I called you and we talked
I met you and we walked
we bought a drink
and stopped to think
of the world and the trouble within
should we cease? should we begin
to heal the world with our hearts
and give ourselves a brand new start
or do we continue on this track
and break mother natures back
destroy the planet that gives us life and love
dispatch ourselves to the heavens above

Minute to minute

My emotions change from day to day
the insanity never goes away
always will it remain
the uncontrollable, unceasing pain
that I carry in my minds eye
I want to halt. I need to try.

How High?

can you tell me how high
the human spirit can fly
when love itself is the driving force
left to run it’s due course
can it fly to the heavens above
powered only by true love.

Unexploded bomb

it isn’t easy
being me
totally unable
to be free
inside my heart
and my head
a heart that’s leaden
a head that’s dead.

Sunset

I sit and watch the sunset
with no one by my side
watching the sun sink behind the horizon
taking away the tide

For the princess

To kiss your lips, so soft and sweet
to bow with penitence at your feet
worshiping you like a goddess
I long to feel your loving caress
I wish I felt you touch my hair
to reach for you and feel you there
your hand in mine joined forever
on sunny days and through stormy weather

A distant friend. For Sandra.

separated as we are
so very close but oh so far
a very dear and close friend
I hope we still are at the end

Untitled

did you ever understand me and my moods?
how there were times I was lost in the woods
of deep despair and some regrets come forth
but fade if left to run their course

Sailing onwards

I’m sailing on a lonely ocean
with no sight of shore
only myself to keep me sane
I cannot stand it anymore

Unforgiving

He stands on the bridge
heart full of pain
looking at the dark water below
is the beast within slain?
he prays for death to take him
when an angel appears at his side
“let me show you what you have done”
“allow me to show you pride”
I have stood upon that bridge
tears falling towards the water
trying to forgive myself
for the lost son or daughter.

Walk with bears

the human race is doomed
because we cannot co-exist
upon this fragile egg called earth
we kill what we do not know
we do not know what we kill
until the time has gone to memory
so shed all your worries
and shed all your cares
we will one day walk with bears
at one with all creatures
and all kinds of man
deep in our hearts you know we can.

To poe, up yours.

standing over the deep abyss
I wonder has it come to this
to leap into this deep dark chasm
is to surrender to my phantasm
the noise inside me emanates
and threatens to exterminate
me and all around
upon this hallowed ground
looking up towards the spire
or looking down into the fire
that rages deep inside
like the ebbing tide
so I shall rant and rave
as i’m lowered to my grave.

Water.
Dedicated to gencie.

the fountain of youth feeds into the river of knowledge
teaching what cannot be taught at college
showing a world ouside the norm
it has no shape, it has no form.

it seeps into the deepest parts
and joins two unfamiliar hearts
changing views of love and loss
all things happen for a cause.

these two people unknown to each
are walking on the sandy beach
looking at the same tide
always knowing it's just a ride.

For Karen Laing.

Saying that I love you
And feeling the same way
Maybe you'll believe me
If I say it everyday
Inside me beats a heart
That beats in constant time
I hope and pray you don't get hurt
Because breaking hearts is a crime
My poetic mind knows no bounds
As I know your heart does
Taking refuge in musical sounds
Sitting crying 'cos of lost loves.

untitled.

Maybe you'll read this
Maybe you won't.
You have said you love me
When I know you don't.

untitled.

I'd love to stay the night with you
to hold you tight and hold you true
I'd love for you to stay the night
I'd love for you to hold me tight
I pray for these things everyday
Maybe with time you'll come and stay.

Does she know?

Do you really know?
Do you really care?
tell me how I can show
you I'll always be there

Dreams.

I feel so close to you
lying next to your supple skin
Breathing in what you are breathing out
slowly smoothing back your hair
sliding in and out of sleep
Feeling your warmth next to me
kissing you gently, touching you softly
saying that I love you even though you are asleep

Your song.

They it's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all
is it better to stumble, than to trip and fall?
They say only time mends a broken heart
but when your heart is broken, time stops and can't restart.
