Cracks

Try to slip through the cracks, fall out of view
hide from the spotlight, away from you
not the star of the show, the main atraction
this smile isnt true, just a defensive reaction

Feel like an image flipped inverse
a picture in reverse
a negative photograph, nothing sits right
someone turn off the light, want to ignore the night

The tear stained face, eyes red from the hours cried
the body hunched and fragile, weakened by days gone by
a young man in an old frame, cant keep playing this game
though the brain is on fire again 

My bones may creak, still I walk these streets
the aches remind me that my heart still beats
a mind unique, containing its own skills and talents
outside may be no painting but bring on lifes challenge

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Without you

Took yourself away from the world

what is left is not worth the words

when all that remains is me in this void

a solo cloud in a sunless sky, hope destroyed

Removed yourself from my pages

the book has lost focus it just ages

a lone tale of a man

with no place to call home, a wasted lifespan

Deleted yourself from the song

just left an instrumental piece, goes too long

without you, no words to share, no voice to sing

just a tune with no heart, spark or spring

Erased from the photograph

just shows a world torn in half

no smiles, no joy just a landscape

grey and bleak, no shape

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

You are the world

You are the Saharan desert heat

the Himalayan snow, my coral reef

the deepest depths of the largest seas

the highest peaks above the clouds floating free

You are the cities that never rest

live life with such amazing zest

you are the villages, peaceful

when this life can make you feel fearful

You are the waves on the beach

the cooling touch against the sands heat

you are the air I breathe, that lets me be

you are the world to me

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Ticket to stay

Want a ticket away
to get free, clear my head for a day
escape, running from pain, or getting ahead of the game
from the beating sun, into the pouring rain

Used to scream at the world, it would shout back at me
I'd let out my hurt on anyone who cared, leave me be
how was I so far gone, why did I let myself crack?
sat on that ledge never once looking back

The world on a constant attack
a ferocious strike and my vision turned black
did I really want out, was I ready to go
the answer was clear, oh hell no

I want a ticket to stay
no longer need to hide away
when the world gives its worse
I write down a new verse

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.

Three words

Written on a page, in a book
hidden away from view, you can never look
a short line says how I feel
three little words, not to be made real

If I speak them out loud
you could run into the crowd
id never see you again, cant let this friendship end
so I keep them near, written here, to never send

If those words touch your ears, my fears become real
you could turn on your heel
and here I would end, alone once again
wishing to just get washed up in the rain

Wish I could paint them in the sky,  would be the happiest guy
to say with pride the three words that I hide
but as the day turns to night the stars would fall down
ripping the words right down to the ground

So I let them sit on that page
under lock and key, in a darkened hidden cage
away from the light so no one can read
the words I write to you in my dreams

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love

Kyle.

Trials

Always another answer
these trials, troubled times, tempting trances
grey gradients gradually give glances
below, beyond boundaries, beneath borders
colour creates, constantly cleanses corners
where wondering words work, wisely written worlds

Deep dark designs drift delightfully down, driven
forwards, forever, for fate flies free, forgiven
pen pushes purposely, paper painted poetically
life lived, loved, left longing, lonely
emotions elevated, entangled entwined
brightness builds brilliant, become blind

Defences dragged down, daylight dazzles
towards totality, tonally twisted, trampled
hurries, harries, homeward, herein
where whatever we want we will win
fast forward, flashes, free, fearless, flawless
peace, perfection, pure prevailing promise

Thanks for reading.
Peace & Love.
Kyle.
