Blush

To tell you how I feel, you would blush

you would run as your feet start to rush

so I let feelings sleep, meet them in dreams

where they can be free like sunbeams

Don't allow the dreams to sway me, they would betray

the emotions within, not to see the light of day

just between me, the stars, moon and sky

silently floating into the air, where only I see them fly

But if I was to let you hear my thoughts, let you see

if I was to open my heart, let the words flow free

they would sing, of how you make me whole

you give me a smile, that lifts my soul

You kiss me with words that flow from your lips

eyes pierce my heart with arrows, and the beat skips

when you put me down, its like I've been killed and no one mourns

if you hurt, I feel every sting like I'm being pulled through thorns

When fear preys on my mind, you are like a ray of brightness

a guide in the dark against the demons of unkindness

when I am alone my thoughts speed, as my pen bleeds

I hear my screams, when I am with you they recede

So in dreams they sing, their song laid bare

these thoughts, feelings that forever live there

every night, in the sleep that takes me away, on a flight

to a world of words, that I can never recite

Thanks for reading,

Peace & Love,

Kyle.

 

The Night Watchman Returns

Patiently peering past

patrolling perilous parts

pacing precarious ports

protecting, projecting, promising, peaceful paths

Every night he is on call

Watches, whilst weariness wears

waits whistling when woe wails within

when wraiths wage wrathful war 

works wordlessly, while worlds weakest worry

He keeps us safe when night-time falls

Midnight, moonlight, morning merely muttering, muted 

misty mirages masquerade menacingly

mean monstrosities manoeuvre

more monsters materialise

He will never fail or drop the ball

Fiercely, furiously, forces foes further

fearless figure fights fretfulness

forwards for freedom from fearful fantasy

fiends foiled, frozen forever

The night watchman will heal your dreams, one and all

Thanks for reading.
Peace, love and sweet dreams.
Kyle.

Book of Secrets

This book of secrets, too many to share

the tales within, mine to bare

into a land of fantasy we fall

where we can be anyone at all

This book of shadows, my legacy, a journey

a journal about a mind set free

a word painted world for all to adore

the land of the night, into dreams we pour

This book of the night, where the mind goes in wonder

soaking in memories, moments to ponder

through visions so vivid, into worlds of colour

the love and laughter, ours to discover

This book of my life, a diary in verse

words twisted into fiction, with which to immerse

the feelings all real, they tell of a life

lived in the heart of the darkest nights

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Lost in a dream

Can you picture the scene, unclean, unseen
A lost boy in a dream
so alone, in a room filled to the brim
with people who love him

Symbolism tearing at his heart, it parts
lets get back to the start
smiles froze, oceans no longer flow, that red rose
his only escape, a flower, his lover sows

Devil in the details, it creeps, sneaks, take a peak
the lost boy can no longer speak
such a fragile, delicate being, the petals fall
ground covered in the remnants, his head hits the wall

Lost in this dirty world, his life unfurled
there in his bubble, the thoughts swirled
the flower left to curl up, rotten, forgotten
a downward spiral, approaching rock bottom

Picture the view, a room for two, the sunset's hue
the light hit the room, the rose regrew
no longer lost, the boy was found, bad thoughts drowned
the night left him spellbound

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.

Ghosts

Visions in darkness, snapshots of a scream

spectres in my nightmares, haunting all my dreams

spirits forever wailing, an eerie deathly sound

an icy chill clings, like a mist all around

Ghosts in the night or just tricks of the light

bones weak and weary, they creak, as fear forces flight

the shadow in the corner, watching menacingly

waiting for me to close my eyes, What does it want with me?

The apparition appears, when the sun goes away

inside I scream silently, my voice too scared to stay

this phantom pervades my peace, shatters my self belief

crashes and clatters, like a poltergeist, gives me no relief

This visitor before me, invading all my thoughts

creeps into old memories, ties my brain in knots

until the sun comes up, cuts through the gloom

bathes the room in light, no more thoughts of doom

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.

Dream lover

A beauty queen, in the dreams where I fall

my eyelids tight, I hear her call

my love, holds herself, like a work of art

her eyes peer through the dark, pierce my heart

Her words inspire, they conjure feelings deep

she speaks a lullaby that helps to sleep

keep the nightmares at bay

with the beautiful things she says

Her perfect way, under the stars, her dress sways

never led astray, always there at the end of day

with her arms held wide, to hold me near

we could fly through the stratosphere

To see her smile, her light shines bright

the prettiest sight in the dark of night

when she laughs, my heart gleams

the lady in my dreams, lover in moonlit streams

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle

You and I

Every night, the same dream

a beautiful scene

you and I, hand in hand

walking the streets of a foreign land

When night descends I hear the calls

as I drift, the vision enthrals

you and I, under a blanket of stars

warm in each others arms

Beneath this canopy of constellations

sleep, a treat, Love's destinations

you and I, a blinding sight in the sky

as we feel the passion electrify

With the moon a guiding light

deep in the dark of night

you and I, a dream away, in a land so free

all I ask, please don't wake me

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.

Dreams in a heartbeat

Keep my dreams locked close to my heart

to keep them from tearing apart

safe from harm, held tight in a cuddle

to never get lost in life's hustle and bustle

I hold my dreams close, to never let them drift

never to lose a second of the bliss

filled with hopes, love and joy unbound

let them keep me warm, safe and sound

I feel my dreams as they touch my heartbeat

their delicate fingers soothing and sweet

giving me strength to go on

even when the days are so cold and long

Some days I feel them trying to burst free

to lighten the darkness surrounding me

but I pull them in close

never to be let loose

I savour those moments when I lay at night

just drifting off in the moonlight

my dreams and me, perfect company

take me away in a colourful symphony

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.

Foraging

Foraging for words in the forest of the mind
but the trees are dieing, the leaves hard to find
so I sit, silence all around
all of my memories, never to be found

Harvesting the fields of lost thoughts
but all I find is empty space, a sense of loss

search for miles, just rocky ground
all those ideas forever unowned

Picking the fruits from trees of hopes and dreams
but the rot has set in, can almost hear the screams
search high and low but not a single piece is left
all the wishes unblessed

Hunting the healing daydreams, fantastic and free
the dreamer cant get to sleep, silence so beastly 

sough a seed, that will one day grow
and in time will form a new word meadow

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Star lover

Makes the world spin, keeps me on the ride

the girl who never wants to let go, doesn't hide

the one who wont ever leave, her light gleams

the star lover, who lives in my dreams

Forever turning, whirling, heart like a blanket

wrapped around tight, the best thing on the planet

who always sings along, when the music plays on

the star lover, her beauty shines down upon

She dances with a passion, cuddle from a work of art

held to her, never let her go, no way to part

I could never run, always want her by my side

the star lover, who always has her arms open wide

She sets my heart on overdrive, when she says my name

her tones touch my soul, she never plays any games

always ready to call, when my eyes close I dream of her

drifting through the universe, the star lover

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.

StarHeart

That night, under a sky alight with a billion fires
we danced, until the sun rose, floating inspired
a life away, looking upon a distant star
you held me and we let go of our scars

The music, the sounds of night fuelled the show
the tunes gave us a chance to grow
a life away, inspired by those twinkling sights
to let go of the past and go forward hitting the heights

Those feelings, emotion told in the look of the eyes
never left the room, never skipped a beat, no goodbyes
a life away, where the stars are ours
to walk hand in hand, to always share hearts

Watched as you left, heavy pain in my chest
the moments shared, ours to forever dream of at best
a life away, pulled the stars from the sky
held them deep in my heart, yours if the darkness makes you cry

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Lonely nights

The night can be a lonely place

where ever so often it is the case

of two voices sat talking at three

both of them are me

Nights alone bring darkness, all decisions on replay

thoughts trapped through the day, released to play

to deny the sleep that brings release

that helps the panic ease

In this blackened room, shadows taunt

the days smiles just a front, memories haunt

the fear clings to you like the sheets, so tight

can barely breathe, its all fight or flight

At that time when it feels like the world is falling

am reminded of the people who love, it brings calming

the sun will rise and the low will drift

the fun will flow an my mood will lift

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

The night watchman part 3

The watchman sleeps, guitar at feet

his nights work complete

drifts as the sun rises at dawn

but who watches when the watchman's dreams are torn?

When the terrors unfold

who gives him the power to be bold?

his own demons come out to play

when he lets himself drift away

Uninvited, they infest, not guests, they ingest

any happiness, the watchman snoozes, distressed

every moment a tortured thought

the sweat begins to pour

Strength drained, cant fight tears or deep buried fears

he dreams, in horror, at all the lost years

the love he holds dear, he cant show his heart

who will hold on when the watchman's dreams fall apart?

After the pain of the day the watchman sits at his post

always to watch and lay to sleep the dark ghosts

his mask a bit worn, his figure less sure

but the night has its guide, forever keeping secure 

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.

The Night Watchman part 2

 Sits perched, his guitar gently strums to the wind

the watchman still waits, his story just begins

slaying the demons of darkness

the night terrors that infest us

Whatever weather, whether wild or mild, sits in style

he never leaves his role, never breaks into smile

just plays his tune to soothe, smooth flowing

turns the darkness into colours, bright, glowing

When he catches sight of a bad dream, he breaks clear

fast as the night he is there to fight the fears

the nightwatchman never gives in or retreats

he knows the night so well, there are no defeats

So as you sleep, do so safe and calm

the night is his domain, keeps you safe from harm

as his guitar sings notes into the air

listen out for them, they show he is there

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love 

Kyle.

The simple things

A smile from a stranger, not one who mocks
a friendly talk, a drink a walk
being able to give your time and share
to show that you love and care

The cooling breeze soothing like a cuddle
when the beating heat bears down and you struggle
a day spent with those we love most
and you can bury old ghosts

A night with like minds, putting the world right
with people who want you close not kept out of sight
being happy in who you are
because in your heart you are a star

Time in the arms of a sweetheart
wrapped up tightly not wanting to part
these simple things
pleasures treasured as I sing

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love

Kyle.

Longest night

A night can live a lifetime, draining beauty

memories like scenes from a movie

cluttered thoughts, visions unfold

story lines long untold

A day can last forever in the mind

memories can be so unkind

like photographs soaked with pain

the coldness takes over infects the brain

A face can stay forever in the eyes

an unwanted guest inside the shielded parts, memorised

scattered throughout, to come out when feeling the lows

in this story time, told by dark shadows

A smile can become a grimace, a hateful smirk

when demons of darkness take the image, do their work

memories distorted over time by the broken mind

come out when the eyes close their blinds

Words spoken in stuttered haste

seem such a waste

when history books rewrite the story, the longest night

when the darkness makes the story bare its teeth and bite

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.

Midnight light

Drifting by the midnight light
under the dark cold skies
stars, glittery, shine bright
such a wondrous night

Wandering the grand expanse
feet moving in stuttered dance
under our lonely moon
if we had two, would sing an harmonious tune

Upwards on this hill of life
a long grind, can cut like a knife
but the views are so nice
a landscape worth the admission price

Alone, drinking in the beautiful show
a glimpse at the world in flow
the picture always shifting
the scene, a vision, a dream, so uplifting 

Thanks for reading.

Peace and Love.

Kyle.

Days and night

The days never seem to end, walking asleep

barely start, just exist in between

you could drop in at any point, always the same

any time at all, nothing ever changes the game

The drone of the wind through the window

the glare of the sun on screen

the things we do

no life in between

The days could become one, us a dormant swarm

just a big grey cloudy storm

a constant downpour of freezing rain

as the lightning fries the brain

The days go on and on, daydreaming, so far gone

too many passed to find the right tone

no escape from the aching gloom

until the new moon enters the room

The nights, the life begins at last

after the hours of daylight pass

the dancing, singing, friendships can eclipse

the sun, long in the past, now we give the stars a kiss

 Thanks for reading.

Peace and Love

Kyle.

The night watchman

When day ends, and the night falls
when the sun leaves the sky and darkness calls
the watchman sits, his duty to observe
protect the dreams, of those who deserve

As the light fades he looks over
barely shifts, just watches as shadows cover
the world asleep, so many souls deep in slumber
eases troubled minds, brings comfort

The watcher scans the cities villages, towns
always ready to bring his peaceful sounds
to calm disturbed thoughts until sunrise
and he can rest, his job done tonight

Thanks for reading.

Peace and love.

Kyle.

Spaced out

We aimed for the moon

up to the stars

heard our tune

we passed Jupiter and Mars

Close in heavenly dance

moved by the suns rays

into the great expanse

we flew into a grand display

Past comets we drifted

over planets we flew

as our heart beats shifted

the longing just grew

To be home on our earth

to be happy aside

on the place of our birth

after such a nice ride

Spaced out by the trip

the journey so remote

time on that ship

brings a lump to the throat

Thanks for reading.

Peace and Love.

Kyle
