  • Deep Within.

    Deep Within.

    Deep within the darkness.
    In the dead of night.
    My mind wanders.

    Sailing through the raging seas of the storm.
    Travelling the windy roads of human emotion.

    Questioning the meaning of life,
    The answers constantly changing, building and reassesing.

    A break in my soul that may never fully be fixed.
    The silence of the night is my only true peace.

  • When Is It Time?

    When Is It Time?

    When is time to stop holding on,
    And start letting go?

    When is it time to move forward?
    Even though it pains you so.

    How do you hold onto love and memories,
    After a person has walked away?
    How do you let them fade away?

    Days of tears.
    Days of laughter.

    Healing through the ongoing disaster.

    Love is constant change,
    Life is learning from the pain.

  • Love And Hate, Intertwined. 

    Love And Hate, Intertwined. 

    Love and hate.

    Strength and pain.

    Intertwined.


    Peace.

    Freedom.

    Dreams of life.

    The deepest desires,

    Lost in space.


    Sometimes the world can be a complicated place.


    Searching for serenity.

    Closer to insanity,

    Than reality.


    What goes around comes around 

    When the truth finally shows its face.

  • Tattoo Me Black And Blue.

    Tattoo Me Black And Blue.

    Tattoo me black and blue.
    Anyday,
    Over the emotional pain
    Of my thoughts of when I lost you.

    Haunting.

    Tattoo me black and blue.
    Anyday,
    Over the emotional pain
    Of lifes mental trauma.

    The loneliness,
    Never escaping.
    Coping day by day.

    Tattoo me black and blue.
    Anyday,
    The physical pain
    My numbing medicine.
    To my ever wandering brain.

  • Falling Into Darkness, Finding Hope In The Storm.

    Falling Into Darkness, Finding Hope In The Storm.

    Falling into the darkness.
    Falling into the abyss.

    Down low,
    The lowest of all.
    Thinking that there’s nowhere to go.

    However

    The only way is up.
    It isn’t the end,
    Only if you believe it to be.

    Through the tears,
    Through the pain.
    Emotional scars wreak the heart,
    A battefeild of mind games.

    We can forgive,
    For our own consciousness’s sake.
    To heal.

    To be at peace.
    Fire, blood and sweat of our hard work and pain,
    Transforming us into a stronger being.

    Finding love with our inner soul.
    Grounded with courage and truth.
    To set forward on the path of life,
    Embracing all of its experience and wonder.

    Finding hope in the storm,
    To be the best we can be.

  • I Miss You

    I Miss You

    I’m still a little bit lost without you.
    I’m walking through the rain.

    I hope for the new day,
    Full of sunshine and fresh beginnings.
    A little ease from the pain.

    I miss you my dear friend most of all.
    Gone through everything from big to small.

    I miss you.
    When the nights are cold.

    I miss you.
    And your hand to hold.

    Your sweet smile.
    And bright blue eyes.
    the way you could make me feel like I could fly.

    I miss you.

    But I’m trying my hardest,
    To soar through my own skies.

  • 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.

  • I’m stuck between feeling like saying fuck you then if that’s how little I mean to you now; and like I wish things were different and simple because even though my heart hurts I could never hate you. I loved you ever so deeply that a part of me always will.

  • Shattered Heart

    Shattered Heart

    Watch me make the world think I’m ok.
    Like I have danced all the pain away.

    Disguise,
    The storm inside.
    That rages on.
    Barreling waves crashing,
    Over and over again.
    Drowning.
    My heart heavy,
    And soul quiet.
    Crushed.

    But nobody would know,
    Nobody would buy it.
    From the smile I put on,
    A front to keep moving through,
    My haunting thoughts.
    To find what is still true.

    Watch me, I’ve mastered the art.
    Of looking like I’m not falling apart.
    But inside,
    I really have a shattered heart.

  • 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.

  • Fly High Little Duckling

    Fly High Little Duckling

    Little duckling,
    Take flight.
    Don’t be scared to venture the night.

    Fill your day with love and peace.
    Take heart in wandering,
    Exploring your soul,
    And your laughter will increase.

    Life has many surprises,
    But the light brings grace,
    And adventure.
    Fly and soar through the wind and rain.
    I’ll be there to catch you if you fall.

    And together we will rise above it all.

     

    – Dedicated to my best friend, my little duckling, Zachary Duck 💖
