Everyone is welcome
Sun is rising, Oh so hot
Sat here naked, Wondering what
To do with my day
Or should I just lay
Not a care in the world
The time can unfurl
To be free to be
What ever I want truly
No restraints
No complaints
No pain
No refrain
Liberation
Respiration
Play your life
Roll the dice

If we went back in time what would we change?
Do you have regrets for your life so strange?
Do you think it would matter one bit or two?
Stop doubting your choices, do what you have to do

I used to believe lots of things
If I dug in the garden I could have everything
Game boy games, a game boy too
Dig to China, or Australia woo
What did you used to believe?
Like Popeye, my brother and I ate leaves
I could smoke grass like tobacco
I could fly with a duvet, wooooaaa
My bike sounded like a motorbike
I could take off with my trike
When we’re kids we have so much imagination in us
Enjoy it while it lasts, stay innocent, it’s a great plus!

Welcome all to my poetry page
I’m letting you all visit my cage
To see what inspires me, what makes me tick
Taste me like ice cream, go on have a lick
I like to shock, to cause a fuss
Stir emotion and occasionally to cuss
If I didn’t get reaction, my drug, my food
I would stop, starve myself, change my mood
To be low, emotionally on the floor
Opens my floodgates and I need to write more
If you all ignored me, It would cause me to doubt
My writing for you, for me, what’s it all about?
What makes me write is an addiction to me
To please the reader, to have a reaction you see
I like when you respond, talk to this loner
Cause I’m sorry, but i’m a bit of a Jonah
But when I see you comment I think you must like
And to me it’s the reason, the reason to write

What do you think about fate?
What does it say to you?
Is it what’s meant to happen?
What life puts you through?
I ask myself the question
Then I say I’m gonna change it
Then I ask myself again
Has it changed or was it this?
I’m not happy in life
Was it meant to be?
It’s me who decides.
Am I sure? Am I free?
We are never really free in life
Choices to be made all the time
We are all just obedient cogs
Decided that we will tow the line

Rhyming poetry to change your day
You were always honest
I cannot complain
Right from the start
The rules were the same
Wanting and wishing
For a little bit more
To feel closer
To warm my core
We started so well
It felt so good
I just don’t know
What I understood
The passion was so raw
Our appetites strong
Just the honeymoon period
Stringing us along
The text messages
Every single day
You were my friend
Keeping my demons at bay
I felt so close to you
That there was a spark
Me be foolish
Following my heart
The distance always comes knocking
The silence lasts a day
Before it was not possible
Just wasn’t our way
We became just partners
Good for an hour
The moment always great
The afterwards sour
I tell myself we need to talk
Even if I’ll be sad
Because lying to ourselves
Will just be as bad
You arrange for us to meet
Our first date in two months
I feel happy again
I didn’t know it was a front
I go to kiss you
You seem a little off
We sit down talking
In the shade to cool off
You wouldn’t let me take a photo
You’re so beautiful in your dress
I thought your actions were off
Something to get off your chest
It’s been a while
And you don’t see any sparks
I listen to you
Fidgeting with the grass
We both had similar thoughts
And this time it’s the end
I was losing you
And a friend
We sat in silence
As I rip up the grass
Listening to music
As people walk past
I decide to leave
As we walk to the car
I kiss you on the cheek
And say goodbye
Why is there always one ?
One who you cannot stand
Who gets underneath your skin
Eats away at you from within
You cannot lash out, it’s not correct!
Be the adult, it’s him the pest.
Resist resist, don’t bite you fool.
Be the bigger man, it’s all cool.
His arrogance and ego will get him.
He’ll do it all by himself.
But why is there always one?
Easy life never was any fun

I’ve thought about you
For as long as I can think
I cherish the most
How much we speak
.
All the little comments
Sparking my delight
Makes me want you even more
Not just to pass the night
.
You planted the seed
A long time ago
You nurtured the seedling
As you watched it grow
.
You would water it
As you would see fit
Not really protecting it
Just a little bit
.
When confessing my feelings
Hoping there was a chance
You would pull away
Not even a glance
.
That plant you had nurtured
Was being left to die
With words uttered forget me
It was all just a lie
I see you
You see me
Do you think
We are meant to be?
.
Time has passed
It’s been a while
Every message
Makes me smile
.
We can’t confirm
We never will
We seem more seeking
Of the thrill
.
Absence glues
More than known
I never knew
Feelings shown
.
I saw it once
In your eyes
Your telling glance
Sure I spied
.
I hold it close
To my heart
Cherished moment
Cannot be bought
.
Keeping simple
We can hide
What we desired
Maybe hearts lied?
You said you would be here
Down by the water
As the sun rose
And we would be in each others arms
.
But you’re not here
As you promised
What’s going on?
Why did you lie?
.
I sit by the water
As if my tears had filled the lake
And all I can think
Is why did I make this mistake?
.
I trusted you
That you would be mine
I gave myself
I was your shrine
.
I left everything
And now I am here alone
I don’t even have a place
To call my home
.
Where are you?
Please find me
I can’t be by myself
Without you there is no me
