In the shallow.

Lost souls drifting,
Lusting after a path,
The light so far away,
Is this a lonely road I travel?
Looking forward,
Looking back,
Brushing past the ones so weak,
Was it a race?
Is there still time?
Water is cold but the hearts afire,
Please show them the way Lost in the dark,
A light shines afar.
Strength gathered then lost,
The path unclear,
Seeking.
Searching
Huddled together for support,
Not wanting to be alone,
The masses gather for the end,
However safety comes alone
Making amends for the others mistake,
Mine or yours
all the same.
The shallows offer no protection.
Just an illusion that there was an edge

Chrissy Why?
(I don’t know why)

Lost souls drifting,
To work,
to play To fade away,
Feel the breeze just for a day,
Seeking hard,
Just keep control.
To be oneself and let them go
Knowing right from wrong is the name of the game
Just keep going and hope you are sane.
Where is breeze? They said would come.
Searching and seeking is one way
But in the end, We all do pay.
Chasing a tail,
Finding the words
Shouting aloud
incase your not heard.
The payment you see is always due,
It is only the amount that is up to you

Life’s Simplicities

Believing that things were so simple,
Feeling the urges,
The rush,
Living the day.
Happy at love,
Happy at play,
Smelling the roses
Music and verse are easy to find,
Everything there,
Love simple and blind.
Follow the colours,
Follow the dream,
When you get older,
Was it all as it seemed?
Question upon question,
In the prime,
So much time,
So much, Love in a dream.
Going our way,
As we tend to do.
Simply the way of the birds and the bees
Courage and faith are treasures to hold

A River runs
A Brook babbles

Troubled ways,
A better day Sadness lurks just beyond the skin,
How did we all commit original sin?
Traveling faster but not alone,
Ripples emerging on their own.
Far away,
Our gaze was set,
Not looking or feeling apron the souls,
Seeking to get there seeking the track,
The watcher shall watch all of the pain.
Knowing the meaning feeling the strain,
The sorrow and tears
again and again,
Longing to get there
knowing you will,
again,
Fleeing from nothing,
again,
Or everything still.
Borrow and lending,
Wanting the thirst.
Needing release of what you have learnt,
The watcher watches,
That is all that it does.
Sorrow for what is to come
Sorrow for what has begun
Sorrow that for what might have been.

The end of the rainbow

In the beginning and in the end
Going in circles and circles
Around and around
Wanting
Needing a closure so distant in time
Around and around
Intertwined in time
Feeling remorse
Not knowing the course Words have no meaning at the end of it
Follow the pack
Standing tall
Where did the time go when all said?
Where did the time go when you found they were dead?
Did the circle complete or just start again?
Can you be the lover or just the good friend?
Circle apon circle
Around and around
Around and around
Till you’re under the ground
Who will remember?
Who will remain?
Will love last the distance?
Can love stand the pain?
Around and around
Here we go again
The beginning and end both seem the same

As I stood

Standing there
looking down
into the darkness
dug into the ground

Seeing family
seeing strangers
feeling pain
seeing tears

standing back facing down
hearing words meaning nothing
songs and smells
the gates of hell

Strangers talking
I listen not
So many times
have I been here before?

Time.

sailing through life
Or so we think
the baggage we take
depends on whether we all will sink

feelings of fear
feelings of strength
fight to survive
fight for your life

Were they standing there?
Did you see them as well?
All of this time
5 minutes from hell

hope is for youth
foes halfway met
fight all your life
leave no regrets

A Prayer.

They look at me
when I pray out loud
I haven't believed
but they look at me

for so long it was simple
just him and me
it was easier just to believe
but now its just me

you cant hold on forever
we all must go on
whether I am right
or whether I am wrong

now I give thanks
just generally
I do
where no one can see

Happiness.
the happiness you seek
just lies at your feet
sadness we take
makes us feel meek

problems that lie
it seems no one will care
the answers is simple
just reach out and share

the burden of one
the problems we share
fearing no one is there
will the war be won?

Happiness there
just out of reach
happiness there
just at my feet
