By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, journalism keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community. – Oscar Wilde

Poetry

That’s Why…

“I want to keep you safe,

happy and feel your warmth when I catch you. That’s why…

Because I want to kiss your lips,

and remind you that I’m always here for you. That’s why…

Most importantly,

it’s because I love you.”


Wave

If we are still long enough,

we can see time pass by us.

We can wave and hope that,

it glances over long enough to wave back…


You

I didn’t fall in love with you,

I walked into love with you,

with my eyes wide open,

choosing to take every step along the way.

I do believe in fate and destiny.

But I also believe, we are only fated,

to do the things that we’d choose anyway.

And I’d choose you,

in a hundred lifetimes,

in a hundred worlds,

in any version of reality…

I’d find you and I’d choose you.


Brighter

Life is brighter on the other side,

away from all the fears and hurt inside.

You dragged me down but not no more,

you’ve moved on to the person you were before.

All the hate and pain inside,

has disappeared in the morning light.

Today it seems is a brand new day,

when you took all the pain away.


Past and Future

Past is past, you leave it behind.

All that pain and anger inside.

A smile on your face is all it takes,

to make a start to a brand new day.

With your head held high, you storm on.

Away from all the bad times you’ve been going through.

They’re gone now so it’s all okay,

you’re free to be anything you could ever dream.

So take the leap, you might just make it….


My Intentions

If you could look into my eyes,

Whilst you stand in-front of me.

Tell me, am I too weak to see?

Broken down, brittle when I speak.

You know not of my pain, my fear, my hate,

It’s easier to protect you from my fate.

You know not of my love,

But I care for you,

You should know my intentions were always true.

You are my love and my light,

My inspiration, that’s by my side.

I never meant to hurt you,

But my intentions were always true.


As you lay to Rest

Laid there in silence,

where you are laid to rest.

As flowers are placed upon your chest.

So suddenly you left,

not a whisper goodbye or less.

A life well lived most would say,

a happy chappy, strolling through life’s sinful grace.

You’re home now where you belong,

where heaven plays that sweet sounding song.

The gates are open, waiting for you to enter,

we will always miss you, our faithful little treasure.

As we say goodbye, tears may be shed,

as we lay you down to rest.


Lay you down to Rest

You’re home now where you belong,

where heaven plays that sweet sounding song.

we will always miss you, our faithful little treasure.

As we say goodbye, tears may be shed,

as we lay you down to rest.


My Only One

Through every room you seem to glide,

like a light filling up the dark.

Your smile is wider when we meet, as I step towards your feet,

embracing arms open before me, as you place a kiss upon my cheek.

How have I never felt a love so pure, so real and so sweet.

You’re my love, my saviour and best friend all wrapped up into one.

You’re my everything,

my only one.


Let me Be

I want to be me,

I want to be free.

You really should let me be.

I am my own person,

I know what to do.

You should know that we were always through,

I never wanted, to be you.


Let me Be

I want to be me,

I want to be free.

You really should let me be.

I am my own person,

I know what to do.

You should know that we were always through,

I never wanted, to be you.


The Feelings

Could you be the one that holds the key to my heart?

The one that knows just where to start?

As delicate as a butterfly’s wing,

feelings can be broken.

So tread carefully when you mix,

your world with all emotions.

A kiss can unleash a world full of wonder.

But what if it was just a blunder?

Or a dream you’ve just woke up from?

Hold me close and never let go,

you’re the one I want to show,

that happiness comes in droves and droves.


Stay Strong

A hard life is not the best,

but you are better than all the rest.

A lyrical genius built to last,

your career will start ever so fast.

You have the ability to speak your mind,

but stumble across and you may find,

the one true love that changes your life.

A soul that shines through and through,

a love so pure, and it’s the truth.

It may be hard, but keep that smile,

it will happen in just a little while.


Hatred

Hatred is hurting of the soul,

damaged by careless whispers.

Confidence shattering words,

could make you think twice, of becoming your own person.

Though the soft sweet whispers of ‘be who you want to be’,

float softly past the ear.

The ear of someone worthy,

someone to persevere.


Flying Free

Up and out of the nest you go,

flying free of all burdens.

Leaving behind that caused,

so many heartfelt moments.

Forgive and forget, would always be uttered.

But some scars are just too deep,

to heal with soothing words, only real when you speak.

Moving on is always hard,

the future is what awaits you.

A life of your own you’ve always dreamed,

It’s time to go and find it.


It’s all You

A whisper in the wind,

A glisten in the rain,

A light, to brighten the darkest day.

Forever in your debt,

As you are close to me.

Your smile, like a million stars, all wrapped up into one.

Your laughter, brightens even the dimmest expression.

A personality glowing with potential to succeed.

A role model.

A companion.

A listener.

All the more reason to miss you.

 


Being Successful

You could paint the perfect picture,

for all eyes to see.

Or write the perfect story,

for someone to critique.

A lyric is just a step,

to creating the perfect song,

but take a step back and think,

to where it should belong.

A wall, a book or in a music genre,

the success is just beyond you.


Shimmering Stars

The shining shimmering stars at night,

they grace us with their presence.

To light the way beyond the night, and show us what they’re made of.

A closer look will reveal the beauty, of the planets all alined.

The remarkable substance of the being, fills us all with fright.

Colour, clarity and peace above, is what it truely means.

The uniqueness and the beauty, that’s bursting at the seams.


A Friendly Gesture

From scooter rides, to quiet drives along the rocky roads.

Or madagascar madness, among the cinema rows.

He’s paid to do those flips and spins that wow’d so many crowds,

But should be careful where he lands, his feet should touch the ground.

Although he’s quiet, don’t be fooled, this guy likes to party.

But pass him some of those vodka shots, his heart would surely fail,

to withstand the sheer volume of alcohol that entails.

There’s so many words to describe this guy, but amazing springs to mind.

The life he dreams isn’t far to reach,

all it needs is time.


I Miss You

No matter rain or shine, snow or hail.

I just want the chance to say,

that you’re still with me everyday

The smile of laughter, a tear of pride,

that’s what I miss of you inside.

And though you’re gone, you’re not miles away.

Because you’re still with me everyday.


A Shining Light

I could sit and watch the clouds go by,

I love the freedom indeed.

Until I stop and wonder why,

they seem to fly so freely.

Though the light may be blocked,

it’s clear one light shines through.

A light to where you may be,

our love will see us through.


Where to Look

I’ll look for you in the silver lining,

I’ll look for you in the stars.

I’ll look for you in the moonlight,

and way beyond mars.

If ever there  was a place,

where I wanted you to show.

to show me where to go.
