The Beast

I die one death
But the memory sticks
Then I rise from the ashes spread over the water
River phoenix
This soul decayed way too far
To be restored by love
So run as far as you can
The beast has fallen from above
And now roams wild
Tearing through the lands
Eating hearts
Then disappearing like quick sand
This quick plan of mine
To restore this life
Seems so far away
To grasp the light
So I accept the beast is me
And abolish my pain
Tears turn to power
And I'm flying again.

The Wolf

Talking to the moon
Asking why I haven’t won yet
But the answer still remains
Unclear unlike the night sky
The mystical moon
Gleaming from the ether
The answer lies in the cracks
Of his withered face
One day she will realise
That she lost out on all from up above
But he remains completely still
Unfazed by this requiem of love
So as I question his authority
His magnetic pull
Withdraws me
Into silent yet deadly reverie
I gasp while the wolf within me breaks free
And hunts down the sun at every dusk
To devour it before he rises from his slumber
And has dominion over the night sky
Until the flaming star rises again.
And the beast is no more.

Fortified Disposition

Fortified disposition
Love is art
But this art is missing
Hit the pencils against the canvas
Paint the world with this lyrical prowess
But I digress
From the point at hand
And that is art is love
But this love is missing
Without two parts this love is missing
Without the mind and the heart
This love is missing
Without the struggle and pain
This love is missing
Without spiritual and physical and lyrical gain
This love is missing
Without friendships, hardships
This love is missing
Without fireworks in the dark
This love is missing
Without guidance from the heart
This love is missing
So let’s be grateful for who we are
And quit the dissing
Take the brush to the world
Implement this mission
Express yourself
Embrace your fortified disposition.

The Prologue


The Prologue


I guess I need this space in time
To ventilate what’s on my mind
And flush out all negativity
To produce a better freer me,
Who does not need the shackles of society
To control the way I choose to be
So fuck the haters and control freaks
For trying to kill the boy in me
Poetry is a part of me
So eat these words and swallow seeds
Of wisdom, bliss, eternity
Let the words fill your cerebrum
Take these metaphors to the eyes and while you read them
Appreciate that art is pain
And in my pain these words find life again.
So let the pain breathe through the spirit of me
And let these words be
My heart’s final symphony.
Long awaited, much diverted, totally avoided, blessing and a curse.
These words will be the saviour of me
So I’ll give them all to you before I ride the hearse.
Destiny: Eternity.
Wait for me my beloved queen.

This is dedicated to life…for giving me so much to write about.
So look forward to the tale that I spin in verse.
And give credit to the Lord for directing this curse.




Devil on my back

So I got the devil on my back trying to bring me down
Yet when I bow down he woes to me wow
Because the jealousy is eminent, and prominently evident
and envy follows ignorance
But I can’t seem to shake the fact
That every sheikh and hat sitting with a beard thinks that he knows
The true meaning of "you reap what you sow" and thus
Confusion and disbelief grows.


A doubtful mind is dangerous mind
Like a rookie killer with two targets in sight
Not knowing which life to spare and which to take
So he takes his own and thus he crumbles
Under the weight of...


The devil on his back bringing him down
Because when he goes down there aint no climbing out
Of the dark pit of pitiful, sinful souls
How’d he get down there? Nobody knows…
Well I know and I aint going down too
So the only time I'm on my knees is to find you
To seek guidance in this dark and rain
To fulfil a purpose that I grow to gain
An understanding of step by step
But with this devil on my back it’s hard to progress

Cos the stairway to heaven is long and hard
But the path to hell is laden with stars
And my dreams and hopes are all on this track
But it’s up to me to take my life back
And run this train through the gates of hell
Through the pitiful hole of souls that sell
Their bodies and minds for money and time
But I hold onto this wisdom of mine

And know not to therefore lie on my stomach
For he will ride this temple down under
But instead to soar straight through the skies
Until the sun melts the tears in his demon eyes
And he falls to the ground with humility
And prostrates to God, just like me.









Dreams

I see things in my dreams
That I cannot explain to thee
For fear of the truth being leaked
From a world we cannot see

Only recently
The sky lit up
With many falling stars
That just kept falling

And as I drove between cities at night
The sky lit up
The shadows of clouds
Loomed over mankind
And a fear struck my heart
Of a spiritual kind
For I’d seen these visions in a dream
In a world we cannot see.



The Hermit

The Hermit

I dwell apart
From the world of men.

I lift my eyes
To the mighty hills,
And sit in silent reverie
By rushing streams.
My songs
Are the whisperings of the winds
And the soft murmurs
Of falling rain.

Blossoms open
And flutter to earth again.
Men come
Men go ;
Year follows year,
And life goes on.

Don't love me

Why do I spend my life
Waiting for replies
Waiting for signs
Waiting for a message
Just to hear that you’re alright

It kills me inside
To never hear what’s on your mind
I live day to day
Staring at this cell phone
Eyes are strained
From trying to tear them away

And never knowing what’s inside
Never knowing what’s on your mind
Cos I’m an English boy
And I can’t seem to understand
Yeah I’m an English boy
So instead of keeping quiet, just hold my hand

And let me feel what you’re feeling inside
Let me hear the beating of your heart
Let me feel your love surrounding me
But never let me hear you love me
Never let me hear you love me
Never let me hear you love me
And just love me in your own way.
