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.

 

4:00 am

Waiting so long, endless it seems, sleep eludes me

Feeling numb, my brain has gone wrong, where is the release

just passing lonely hours watching shadows prance

as the sounds of the night lead my mind on a long dance

Tried counting sheep, they departed as my thoughts started

flowing like reflective word rivers, into places uncharted

all comes flooding, the banks have broken, I'm drowning

the crushing wall of words, memories, crashes down on me

Swept by on a tide of ideas, failings, feelings and fears

the current so fast, dragging me down, the bed so near

these depths so murky cant get a glimpse of light

just another long, lonely, dark night

Is that the sun, just off in the distance

or the moon mocking my existence

don't know what is real or imagined, cant take much more

my eyes, attuned to the dark, the clock says four

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.

Hear your name

Hear your name whispered, sings a song of belonging
beneath the gaze of this old tree, longing
the breeze carried my wish, could it touch your ears
and hold us together for all the years

Hear your name in the pouring of rain, it sings a loving refrain
high above the towns below, dreams unchained
the waters carried my hopes, could it reach your lips
before my heart gives way and rips

Hear your name rolling in with the tides, and my fears subside
here on this empty beach, to the sands I confide
if the ground could speak, it would sing of all my wishes
of the promise I bring to you, all my love and kisses

Hear your name in the call of birds, singing of romantic worlds
here in this house, my home, I write the words
when you hear their song, do they speak my name
and does the song set your heart aflame

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.

Heart in a bottle

Left my heart in a bottle, as the sun went down

my soul with a barmaid, as the night came around

drank with the devil under the pale moonlight

he made me promises, my will took flight

A slice of life with a dash of ice

topped to the brim, whisky tastes so nice

the fire within, burning uncontrollably

took me away, left me a nobody

Left my mind on that table, the liquid spilled forth

fell out of the world, into the deep, dark earth

took a sip, a gulp from the fountains of hell

a taste like copper, body rots, inside my broken shell

On the rocks, my body gives way to the pain

as red clouds rain down, that metallic tang again

The wails as sirens call, lights flashing as I fall

a blood stained hand print on the wall, and I'm floating above it all

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.

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.

Kyle.

Weird?

Who are you to call me weird? think me a freak
whilst you sheepishly follow the herd and bleat
who made you the judge, are you really that vain?
is your life so mundane, what do you hope to gain?

If life is so perfect, then why show such fear
what scares you so? the differences on show? why the sneer?
Is it the smile I wear, the fact that I wont take the bait?
or is it just that you cant relate?

If you open your mind, you may find a wild ride
a world with so many wonder filled, magic moments inside
difference should be welcomed, with arms wide open
so why should we want any of this to be broken?

Small minded world view, only see the same as you
missing so many adventures, a story brand new
this world will stand united, not divided by hurtful lies
So keep trying to make us fall, we will always rise

As we hear the calls, the love for all
we will break a path through the walls
as we reach our goals, the future a dazzling prize
blinding like the sun, the differences washed from our eyes

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.
