Dormant

Lay dormant for a long time
felt the passing of years
missed my prime
asleep in this swamp of stagnant tears

Not dead, but not alive, a line inbetween
the passage of time so slowly closes
hugs you close, drags you down to a world unseen
just alone, asleep in bad dreams, not a bed of roses

Trust all turned to dust, a promise broken
the premise of the love that was lost
a lifetime stolen with just a few words spoken
left crushed by your heart of frost

Lay dormant for a long time
but no more, I awoke
started to climb through the layers of grime
to start again, as the old days go up in smoke

Thanks for reading, 

Peace & Love.

Molten heartbeat

Burns like the molten heartbeat beneath our feet
so fierce, with fire, passion and heat
beauty queen, like a jewel you sparkle and shine
not just a pretty face, a diamond so pure and fine

Like the waterfalls that flow and flood
you have much to give, so much good
inside your head, you have a wonderous mind
filled with love and joy, above all you are kind

Like the cities that grow, on the surface of this globe
you are full of stories that give us such hope
you bring a smile like a ray of sunshine
when the days are dark, you make them seem fine

Through forests and deserts, over oceans and mountains
past disused buildings and long forgotten fountains
you will forever be a part of the stories that are told
from the first time we met I knew you were a sight to behold

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

A single tear

A single, lonely tear begins its descent

down the cheek, sunken and weak

past the mouth, smile no longer present

over the chin, the final peak

With a leap it takes to the air

as if from a rain cloud

a suicidal, salty tear

a shower without a crowd

Splashes and collapses, becomes one with the mud

to join the thousands of friends here before

become a part of the flood

the sea of tears on the floor

Thanks for reading,

Peace & Love.

Map of scars

Years etched in skin
like the rings of a tree
each a show of where I've been
and every road on the journey

Days painted on the surface, tattoos of distress
The bags that sag below the eyes
the scars, a road map of past regrets
shows all of the tears and anguished cries

So many hours, walled up in my own locked tower
the marks on my heart, invisible to some
but in my eyes, they glow and glower
not something to make me glum, but a challenge to overcome

Those lost moments live within
under the skin, make my bones their home
Memories of days where I would grin
and all the paths I would roam

Thanks for reading,

Peace & Love.

Prologue

Prolong the prologue, the prelude can go on
await the right moment, find the words to your song
no need to rush, let the feelings wash you deep
time has a way, the universe will speak

Sift through the sands of the mind
find the pieces that contain heart, are kind
push aside painful doubts that play inside
allow the future to guide

Take a small stride forwards, onwards, upwards
every pride filled step, its own reward
hear the voices singing loud, let them float around
soaking deep down, enjoy the sound

Time heals, helps us learn to feel
when we have lost so much, are forced to kneel
so take your piece of time, hold it tight
it will let you know when things are right

Thanks for reading,

Peace & Love.

Stage

All just actors, life is the stage

different characters, written on the page

many tales to tell, so let the stories flow

give them all you've got, let your words go

Like a theatre, fiction at play

some watch from the wings, whilst others act away

don't be an understudy, take your place

under the glare of lights, enjoy the space

When it is time, you will shine

don't let fear bind or blind, don't fluff the lines

let your smile sing, let your love bloom

don't leave the audience feeling the gloom

Don't hide behind a mask, don't run from the night

you deserve the praise, enjoy the spotlight

live your dreams, let them create the show

this life is an epic fairy tale, you are the star aglow 

Thanks for reading,

Peace & Love,

Kyle.

Moon

Moon up high, a boat in the ocean of the sky

shines a light as the darkness falls

it has seen many a tear cried

and heard a rumble of pained calls

Surrounded by all its friends, twinkling and sparkling

the moon and stars keep lonely hearts close

companions in the darkness, they watch over, guarding

whilst down below the sleepy heads doze

As it sails along, it sees such sights

dreams of lives, lived in flight

nightmares that cause such a fright

all of the wonders that live in the night

Over the horizon it sinks, lost from view

oh moon, hope to see you set sail again

because the night without you

would be a dark place to remain

Thanks for reading,

Peace & Love.

Kyle.
