"Sleepless"


 Sleepless


 I feel your mind
 It does not sleep
 I hear your thoughts
 Crawl up inside me

 I feel your hand
 Beneath the sheets
 You toss and turn
 But don’t move at all

 Your hand grasps
 For mine
 You need to feel
 Some life
 You feel so cold
 So alone
 Although you lie
 By my side

 So distant
 You become
 So far your thoughts
 Can chase you
 How lost in them
 You find yourself

 I can take you in
 Hold you
 Close
 To my skin
 Feel the warmth
 That I give
 Feel the warmth
 From within

 My thoughts
 Weave through yours
 Your eyes yield access
 To bring you back
 With each breath
 That we take

"In Your Mind"


 In Your Mind
  
 I am in your mind
 I am what you believe
 Do you understand
 This makes me real
  
 Deflect the past
 To embrace what's next
 I am inside this mind
 Do you believe?

"A Words Journey"


A Words Journey 


 A word
 Inside a verse
 On a page
 Inside my book
 Comes from
 My pen
 Held
 In my hand
 Course through
 My veins
 Inside my mind
 Within its depths
 Inside a book
 On a page
 Inside a verse
 A word
 Leapt from the page

"Show Me"

SHOW ME

I need to find a way
To occupy my mind
To unbury the passion
I know exists deep inside
The vehicle I drive
Of flesh and bone
Distracts me from
My clearest path
Pollute my inner self
Show me clearly
The understanding I lack

Sip of wine
Warms my veins
Clears my mind
Of worries I create
Distract me for a while
So I can feel
Where I need to be
Until I burn again
Burn alive
In the problems I create

"Look at You"

LOOK AT YOU

Look at you
Look at the shackles
That have held you
For so long
Entwined in your nature
Vines of poison and beauty
Enlighten you
Through the blood
That you shed upon their thorns
Flow through the sky
Buried in the earth
Drowned in the tears
Sorrow and joy
Drink the drink of life
Poured down your throat
Everlasting intoxication
Drips from your eyes
To see the colours
Blend together
In harmony and madness
Laugh at nothing
Charm yourself in everything
Hung around your neck
To carry it always
The light will shine
For you

Look at you
Look at the shackles
That have held you
For so long
Wind blow
Rush passed you
Like arrows in the night
Threaten to pierce your flesh
Unaware of the threat
Your senses have led you to
Rain dilute the blood
That is spilled
Rain wash away
Unwanted rhymes
From the world of the unknowing
Cast a shadow on the days past
Set ablaze
The future before my eyes
Ash, dust, broken glass
Start again
Bleed the soil with life
Move away with the changing tide
Marry into danger
To see how safe you live your life
Carry a torch
To pity those you do care for
Throw your fire
To the beast
Fish don’t swim well in the dirt
Gasp for air
When they need water
Gasp for air
Pray for rain
Pray for flowers in your hair
Let the dust settle
Deep deep deep
In the carpets
You wouldn’t need to clean it
Out of sight
Burden the mind
With paranoid dream
Awake asleep
Cross the road
Do it again from the other side
On fresh land
Grass that does not smell of urine
Feel pity
As if you have never been
On the other side
I have no choice
But to beat you
Until your eyes bleed
If only you could see
Things the right way
Fly like a bird with no legs
No hindrance
Walk with your hands tied
Same thing

Look at you
Look at the shackles
That have held you for so long
Let the ice melt
Free the seas
Flow again through your veins
Gain momentum
Heart races
Mind chases to keep up
Downhill
Run free
Run crazy
Like the beasts that howl
In the night
Take care
Not to lose your mind

"Endless in Time"

ENDLESS IN TIME


We are born
Do you ever think for a moment that you might be living the wrong life?
In a different time
Did you still exist?
Peel away your skin
Slip into mind
Find something long forgotten

Have you been before?
A different time, place
A page torn from a different book
Or just something you can’t recall of the same

Have you ever died?
Do you remember?
Can you remember?
Can one remember something that hasn’t happened yet?

Move on
We may only move on
Slip from one existence to the next
Grains of sand
Endless in time
Washed from sight
Always changing
Always existing
Someplace in time

We are born
Do you ever think for a moment that you might have been given the wrong life?
Grasp at something just out of reach
Peel away your skin
Slip into mind
Find something long forgotten

"Awakening"

AWAKENING

Carefully she steps from
Her open cage
Impressions fall to her feet
Love and admiration
Just casualties left behind
In the wake
In the ever present dawn
Of something new
Something very big
Yet to announce itself
To the one that will make it so
She will understand the intricacies
How to move
How to make all the colours wash
Into one another
As the ocean turns the sands
Turns once sharp harsh
Unforgiving glass
To perfect and smooth
Pieces of something new
All can fade to night
Chased of the last edges of light
Darkness collides with her mind
Blue, red, pink, silver
Tangled in her eyes
Her feet burn with cold
Senses drawn in from below
Carefully she steps from
Her open cage
Carefully
She opens her eyes to the world

"Wet Again"

WET AGAIN

I’m wet again
Left out in the pouring rain
I’m standing here
Lost in contemplation
On the changing landscape of my mind

Through the rain
See the colours of the universe
Stretch out across the pavement
Like an oil slick
To cloud my mind

I carry a rhythm in my head
Drown out the voices in my mind
Leave me naked
Leave me blind
Leave me shattered over time

But still I wait
Cry, shake, anticipate
The moment when I reunite
My body, mind and soul
To come alive
