  • Thank You

    Thank You

    Thank you
    For release.
    For teaching me expression,
    And the many lessons.

    Lessons of love,
    Life and pain.
    Bittersweet reality,
    And dream state fantasy.

    Holding onto hope.
    Through the battlefield of life.
    Through the good, the bad,
    And all the in between.

    And lastly,
    Thank you for showing me the way,
    To letting me be me.

  • Why Do We Run?

    Why Do We Run?

    We run and run and keep on running.
    But what are we running from?

    Ourselves?

    The darkness inside that eats the soul?
    If it is left to rot in silence,
    Without release.

    Why do we hide?
    When we can conquer.

    Be friends with our demons.
    Take a walk with them and learn,
    The inner secrets of your soul.

    Run inwards not away.
    To face the light another day.

    Lost your brain.

    Find it amongst the chaos,
    Where we are stripped of our misguided layers,
    To reveal our rawness.
    True to heart.
    To who we really are.
    Amongst the darkness and in the light.

    Fading in and out,
    Of reality and insanity.
    Searching for serenity.
    And a little peace in our heart.

  • I’ll See You On The Flip Side

    I’ll See You On The Flip Side

    I’ll see you on the flip side.
    My dear friend.

    Where you can tell me all the adventures,
    Of your ride into the sun.

    Parting ways.

    As I sway through the galaxies,
    Against the gleaming moon.

    I’ll see you on the flip side,
    My dear friend.

    Where amongst the shadows and dreams,
    We will meet again.

  • They Come, They Go

    They Come, They Go

    They come,
    They go.
    Like the seasons change to and fro.

    Learn to hold on dearly,
    To those who have stayed.
    And when to let go.
    Of who no longer serves you,
    And of what has walked away.

    Take each lesson,
    Savour the time.

    Infinite memories,
    Stashed away in your wild heart.
    Open your soul,
    To a fresh start.

    Guide yourself,
    On your path to glory.
    And only take in,
    What feeds your soul.
    And ignites your fire,
    For passion, creativity and love.

    Burn brightly,
    And with no shame.

    Celebrate with the people,
    who will walk through hell and back with you,
    And brighten your day.

  • The Devil Wins Today

    The Devil Wins Today

    The devil wins today.
    In his fire my heart strings play.
    Songs of sorrow,
    Songs of loss.
    He’s seen the demons I have crossed.

    The mortal sins of paths I have taken.
    The scars of pain,
    And the mistakes I have welcomed to change.

    On a road unknown,
    Through the darkest night.
    My heavy soul echoes through the wind.
    Calling for days lost,
    From dawn till dusk.
    And into the deepest corners,
    Of desire and trust.

    In the devils land I play.
    A place of no where and nothing.
    The edge of reality,
    Over into insanity.

    On this journey, I may,
    Find pain and solace.
    And the will to live another day.

  • Dear America, Guns or Human Life?

    Dear America, Guns or Human Life?

    Life so cruel,
    Tragic.
    Taken away to soon.

    Is it worth your right?
    When its out of control.
    Based on a paper,
    Racist,
    A hundred years ago.

    Death of the innocent,
    Caught in the fire.
    The world mourns,
    But nothing is done.
    Despite the cries for righteousness and justice,
    The guns increase.
    And the damage is done.

    Monsters in the eyes of others.
    No care for human life,
    We don’t believe the lies.
    The evidence is enough.

    How many more will die?
    Their blood on your hands.
    Fuelling violence with a weapon of destruction,
    Giving it to the hands of those that desire to wreak havoc with hate in their heart.

    Stop the excuses,
    And put the guns to rest.
    Choose what is best,
    Or there will be nothing and no one left.

     

    – inspired by and dedicated to all the victims of American gun violence due to their lack of enforced and controlled laws to protect human life. May they all rest in peace, so tragic that such talented and beautiful souls are taken away for no reason but hate and despair. America is appalling. And my question is, will it ever change? Because I’ve asked this question way too many times in the last few years and all it looks like is that it is increasing and getting out of hand.

    My question to America is, Guns or Human life? Which one is more important to you? Because this very moment America is choosing guns over human life and if they don’t change there will be no human life left to save.

    A great documentary on this topic to watch is: Bowling For Columbine by documentary and film director, Michael Moore. Which explores gun laws, the Columbine school shooting events and why America is so different to the rest of the world with guns when they think they are just like the rest of the world.

  • Pure Black

    Pure Black

    Night time,
    Heart burning.
    Soul churning,
    Spinning and transforming.

    Darkness,
    Pure black.
    Comfort in silence.
    As inside me rages,
    A war of searching.
    For a means and an end.

    Solace from pain.
    Before insanity takes a hold.
    Welcome crazy,
    A change from the old.

    Fear into action.
    The night holds all truth.
    From love to hate,
    And the very essence of you.

  • Always Welcome

    Always Welcome

    Though you’ve  walked on,
    My door is always open.
    My heart,
    Always warm,
    Always welcome.

    Between us distance has no meaning.
    Time,
    Is healing.

    Wishing you well.
    And hoping for good luck.

    Walk with no fear,
    My dear and trust.
    For deep down inside,
    You have a heart of gold.
    March to the beat of your drum,
    You must.

    Never far, always near.
    Always Welcome,
    Here,

    My Love.

  • Root of Your Soul

    Root of Your Soul

    You’ll never loose that uniqueness about you.
    The root of your soul.

    Your passion.
    Your fire.
    The erge to inspire,
    Create,
    Love.

    Even when you are drowning in lost seas,
    You are infinite.
    Find yourself.

    Hold on to heart,
    Let go of what no longer serves you.
    And flow with the waves,
    Of desire,
    And serenity.

  • With Time

    With Time

    With time you will only get stronger.
    With time you will get better.
    With time you will be free.

    Hold on.

    Through the days.
    Through the silent nights.
    Through the pain,
    And through the fire.

    Reborn.

    You will rise.
    Spread your wings and soar.
    Fly high.
    Dreams will become reality.
    A star in the night sky.

    Let your darkness be your friend.
    Learn its lessons until the end.
    And let the light cleanse you,
    And be your grace.

    Only time will tell what the future holds.
    And with time you will be bold.

    With time you will heal.

    And With time you will be stronger than you ever know.

    So hold on and don’t let go.

     

     

     

  • Inside The Storm

    Inside The Storm

    Empty.

    Missing.

    Lost.

    The cold nights are colder without warm embrace.

    Pain in the chest.
    Scars on the soul.

    Love.

    Put on a brave face.
    And face the world with grace.
    Underneath a storm is brewing,
    Heart a mess.

    Wondering.
    Pondering.

    Worth the suffering,
    For a soul so enchanting.
    An adventure so wild,
    And a taste of magic.

    Fleeting.

    Change the only constant.
    Learning to roll with the waves.

    And be free.

  • Silence and Night Thoughts

    Silence and Night Thoughts

    Tired,
    Eyes closed.

    Into the night,
    Where my mind wanders.
    Finding peace in the silence.

    Awake,
    While the world sleeps,
    And I am left to ponder.

    The moon shines.
    Waxes and wanes.
    My light in the darkness,
    Cleansing the pain.

    Finding myself,
    Through all the mess.
    Searching for the answers to life’s philosophy.
    Serenity, peace, love?
    Life, death, solace, suffering?

    I don’t think this world will ever make 100 percent sense.
    But to explore the deep and unknown,
    Is to explore and wisen the mind and soul.

    Search for the horizons,
    Over the oceans.
    Beyond your deepest walls,
    And behind the mask,
    That society insists is reality.

    Truth.

    Will we find out in death?
    Possibly.
    But live a full life of gratitude and adventure,
    Before you have no fear to welcome death,
    And jump into the unknown.

    When we are old and wise,
    Have searched and searched,
    And seen through life’s disguise,
    Will death be the answer,
    To our mortal life’s demise.

    Hold on.
    Be strong.
    Have no fear.

    Let the silence of the night be your solace.
    And the spirit of the day be your adventure.
    And know that you are never truly alone, my dear.

  • Ocean Blue

    In that moment we were perfect.
    Infinite.
    Soulful.
    In that moment we will last forever
    As everything else is
    Faded.
    In that moment,
    Gazing at the Ocean blue.

  • When You Do, I Do.

    When You Do, I Do.

    When you bleed pain,
    I bleed.

    When you laugh,
    I smile.

    When you cry,
    I cry for you,
    and wipe away the tears.

    When you fall,
    Together we will rise again.

    When you feel lost,
    I will find you,
    and bring you back.

    When you want to escape,
    I will take you on a wild adventure.

    When life gets to dark,
    I will turn on the light.

    When you need to rest your prescious soul,
    I’ll hold you still.
    And I will protect you from all the things in this world that are so tragically cruel.

    When you jump,
    I jump.

    When you do,
    I do.
