Secrets And Lies

I despise your secrets and lies
the secretive side that played games with my life
the seductive nature of the made up words you'd confide
the frames you hide the real picture inside
the flames you burnt into my world never died

Shamed for caring, you claimed to bare the same feelings
but I'd have clambered the highest mountains, crashed through ceilings
whilst you would be off stealing the hearts of the dreaming
your soul of a demon, angel looks concealing the cheating

Only wanted the best for you, you pushed me to test my truth
you wanted to make me blue, broken, bruised and bloodied too
you took my heart and froze it cold, icy shards too chilled to hold
each fleeting ripple, every little beat shattered it tenfold

I despised your secrets and lies, tried with my might to live by your side

shared with my heart every thing that I had, my life, my soul, my pride
I did the best I could, gave all I had, all the good
yet all you did was make me feel small, used me as firewood, left me where I stood

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.

Lone Wolf

Wolves howl, they don't cower from the storm
they prowl, they don't crawl or fear the swarm
the lone wolf takes a step from the pack
snarling teeth bare, don't get too near, he's ready to attack

Wolves sing to the moon, they don't fear its mystery
they know not of its history, the stories of misery
of witchery and trickery, they just howl their delivery
the lone wolf takes a journey of discovery
shivering in the cold, under sparkling starlight's glittery captivity

Wolves hunt as a pack, they circle then attack
they seek out the weak, they sneak and they leap
the lone wolf walks a different beat, he doesn't follow the herd
not dressed in sheep's clothing, he doesn't bleat
he walks his own path, doesn't retreat

Wolves listen intently, always ready to fight
taking the scent of the cold night air, teeth ready to bite
they chase down their prey, with speed and surprise
the lone wolf watches on with saddening eyes
he turns and walks away, and howls to the skies

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.

Songbird Soul

My sombre songbird soul wants to shout
calm this butterfly heart, unlock its cage let it out
the fluttering, stuttery, stop, start, cries
of dreams that live, whilst hope dies

My dancing heart wants to hold tight
whilst the crooning soul wants to take flight
the blues playing under the light of the moon
dreams that faded into smoke too soon

My jittering heart, dreams of swaying on moonlit beaches
as the glittery stars start to dive into our reaches
whilst my solo soul serenades, singing songs of sunsets
dreams forever of the one soul, it will never truly forget

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.

Stormy Heart

Felt the pain of a storm in my heart
the rage, the hurt where thunder and lightning has ripped it apart
your chest feels like it could collapse
from the weight and heaviness of the tension that wraps

Felt the surge, the tidal flood that bursts
with blood, red hot like a furnace of hurt
into a dam that is missing a part
that feeling, the pain of a broken heart

Felt the waves as they stormed my beaches
my head in pieces, my peace besieged by feverish feelings of a heart left reaching
feels like the beats are decreasing, struggling with my breathing
the feelings well up, the pain needs releasing

Felt the force of a gale force wind, like its taken my breath
I'm walking headlong into the gusts, in truth just feeling like death
the hurt rises to the throat, like in a choking nightmare
one in which you're stuck in space, wont ever taste air

or the lips of the one for whom you care

Felt the pain of heart left beating
just a solo heart, bleeding, pleading, needing healing
eyes are weeping, acid tears leaking, inside I'm screaming
as the hurt keeps on feeding

that feeling when love has left the meeting

and you are left with a heart with no meaning

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.
Kyle.

Phoenix

 

Take to the skies
like a phoenix, you rise
beautiful and bright, clever and wise
you live to see the smile in others eyes
 

You soar so high, a bird in flight
above the crumbled wastes of a world in fight
avoiding the dirty ground, you land in a tree
a reminder of natures beauty, a world that should be free
 

You swoop so fast the barrier of sound is passed
a supersonic blast, a seismic shock wave cast
on the ground below, a quake
to wake the sleeping beings filled with heart ache
 

You shift through the dusty air, so fast that no one sees you there
you dance on the currents, with static filled stormy flair
through the cotton wool clouds, all murky and grey
you tear a hole to allow the sun to appear and brighten the day 

Thanks For Reading.

Peace and Love.

Kyle.

Invisible Ink

Words in a mirror, spell a name

hidden from view behind a word game

in the corner of a poem, a lost word that I threw in

to speak my truths to let them live within

On a page in invisible ink, I let my words sink

the ones I want to speak, but instead bite my tongue in instinct

spilled my love in a code only I know, in a disjointed word flow

I threw words at the page, to disguise the meaning, the feelings that I can't show

In a book I planted a seed, a piece of my heart left to grow into a great oak tree

or a flower that blows in the breeze, the part of me that you can't see

planted in a dense forest to hide between a thousand others

to keep it from showing

to hide as it was growing

Left my voice on a bus seat, a note replete with words I'd never repeat

let my speech become quiet and weak, scared to let people hear the words I'd speak

left phrases in a paperback book, hidden words that gave a truer look

the hidden depths that can easily be mistook

Took a plunge, a stab in the dark

it wasn't a walk in the park

let my voice out, gave a startled shout

let my words fall out, started to fight the doubt

yet still the shadows grow, the mood can go low

the tune can slow, and my truths don't always flow

but I have made a start, my words from the heart

will keep on running, that was the hardest part

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.

Letters never sent

These letters never sent
words I never wrote
the things I never said
conversations we never spoke

the choices that we never took
the walls that blocked our way
all end up the same
a dead end, bricked up alleyway

The songs I never sung
the verses never shared
the hurt clung on and on
like a wolf with its teeth bared

The words I wanted to share
were written right here in this chair
in this book, on a page hidden from you
out of sight, out of view
they screamed in bold writing
I WANT YOU
the shouted in scrawled ink
I NEED YOU
they swam in tears spent
I LOVE YOU
the words faded into the page
blended into a mess of names
turned into a play on words
a poem twisted out of the wreckage of old flames
you said I wasn't romantic
I just never showed it
never wanted you to laugh at the words I wrote
so I held them in my notebook

As the memory seeps onto my page in waves of tears
I flood a new one with ways to fight my fears
no longer fretting over letters I never sent
never once forgetting the words you said I never wrote
but now creating a life much better spent
with people that want more than a token note

Thanks For reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.
