stinging words

I want to say that I...

could I let on that maybe

in someway, what I'm trying to convey

what im trying to say, is that I think I like your way

Why is it so hard to get the words to sing

are you really that afraid of words that could sting

just clutching, grabbing the air

when all you are trying to say is you care

But stinging words hurt like a knife to the chest

to avoid the pain that must be best

so you hold them inside your head

keep them with you instead

What I really want to do is open up to you

let my thoughts run free, like water so clear and blue

but I know that in the end ill run and hide,  my safety net

I don't enter the water, don't want to get wet

Thanks for reading.

Peace and love.

Modern World

Shout loud, scream out, we've had enough now
we've been betrayed, words broken, world falls down
our thoughts turned blank, forgot whats important
instead focus on celebrity, fame and fortune

BBC, ITV, SKY, CNN, FOX
news tells us who to follow, who to block
Sun, Mirror, Times, Mail
choose the narrative, who wins who fails

Trump can clear a room, with his poisonous views
in a tweet he blames the news fake or true
everything is the fault of immigrants, lets build a wall
no quicker way to see a country fall, the news will have a ball

A rich man in a mask, pretends to care about the masses
as long as everyone pays taxes
playing at being important, you really are a gas
nah, fuck it, Trump, you really are an ass

Boris a hit with the press, he gets enough column room
for being a buffoon, a complete loon
Hunt I have only one rhyme for you, so apt
but this is a family page so lets just leave it at that

May goes frolicking in the hay, whilst our country falls to bits
our NHS is crumbling, social care, the pits
housing for the poor? nah more chance of another war
but the country is strong and stable she swore

Israeli bombs fall on innocent folk
just a land grab, a joke
hundreds of rockets for one rock thrown
disproportionate use of force shown

yet we demonise a man who wants peace
will speak to both sides, to find compromise
apparently the guy is a joke, though from what I can see
this sorry state, the modern world, isn't funny to me

Thanks for reading.
Peace and love

Prisoner of the heart

Here sits the prisoner of the heart
frozen in place, so wishes to depart
to explore the lands outside the four walls
the city of love, his destination calls

Sat head bowed, reflects on how this came to be
a crime never committed, longing to be free
can the prisoner ever be released, too institutionalised
can he find his path, ignoring the pasts lies

Can freedom be granted, unlocking the door to this shell
so much to give, but too much fear, this heart shaped hell
his jailer rattles the keys tauntingly
just wants to be free

In solitary, no way to escape, bangs on the walls
no one hears his calls, contained, always afraid, heart falls
the grey stone, all that hears his thoughts
tears drip on the cold floor, his heart tied in knots

The prisoner sits and weeps, his heart never sleeps
thinks of the perfect life, with you by his side, his pain deep
could be your prince, your king, the one of which you sing
but the walls stop you from ever knowing him

Dreams of open spaces, his heart an open book
a kiss as eyes touch, into each other they look
a tsunami of love washes over, as hearts meld
crashing, breaks down the walls to his cell

Thanks for reading, Peace and Love.

A hint at book two

Footstprints in the sand

Footprints in the sand, a sign of our time shared
will blow away in time, like dust in the warm air
today they stand out, against the golden ground
on this secluded beach, where our love was found

This image in the sand, our feet, a heart drawn around
in time, the tide will wash away, other stories will be crowned
our hearts so close, our rose still only budding
our footprints glory in the bliss, that first kiss, loving

Footsteps on the beach, two sets together drawn
an image that shows of a love forever sworn
that day we stood, sand beneath, and spoke of a life complete
a time with you and me, a life of joy, a treat

Footprints so close together, as we hold on tight
as this special day draws to a close, into night
the cool sea air cleans
as our love infects our dreams

Thanks for reading.

Peace and love.

Victims of the system

Gunshots shatter this cool night
another light shot out, lost the fight
the calm smashed like a dropped glass
as the sirens blare, blasting out en masse

Victims of the system
when no one listens, a blade often glistens
when there is no hope, no money, no futures
any shock that our country is flowing into the sewers?

A tattered state, a bloodstained shirt
the poor always the first to lose the fight, so much hurt
crime the only way, to get a pay day, until it stops dead
and we end with another life lost, tears shed

Will we learn our lessons?
give the young a chance, hear their message, beat the depression
let them live with dreams, to be worthy, a life to be lived
rather than the screams for mercy, of the deprived

Thanks for reading.

Peace and love.

Flooding

Adrift in a sea of faces, mind flooding
head hurts from all the thoughts crashing around, thudding

a deafening sound, pushes you out from the crowd

all you can do is await the storm clouds

My thoughts float away as I'm left drowning
cant seem to get a grip of my surroundings
loose track of my feet, my face reddens, body weak
too much to bear, want to run, escape, maybe too big a leap

The sea of faces smiling or are they frowning
all I know is I'm floundering, still here drowning
the floodgates open unleashed a wave, I'm sinking
need a safe place to fix my thinking 

Sea of faces all looking at me, through me?
all I can do is flee
run away to find my peace
but is that just bowing to this unwanted beast?

Thanks for reading.
Peace and love.

Perfection

I Could compare you to the leaves, falling from the trees

a spirit flying forever free

I could tell you this as my heart gently weeps

you are perfection to me

I could compare you to a bright new rose

a flower whose beauty just grows and glows

a bloom so stunning to see

but you are more, you are perfection to me

I Could compare you to a summers day

warming, a cuddle to keep the cold at bay

but you are brighter than any sunshine ray

you are perfection I say

I could compare you to the fine breeze

that in the heat brings me to my knees

I could say that you make me fly, high as the trees

but that's just air, you are perfection to me

I could compare you to the humid nights

your touch that sets my skin alight

that is not enough, you are more than a touch, a love set free

you are perfection to me

Thanks for reading, Peace and love.

Kyle.
