Dream thieves

The room is so peaceful, uplifting

and sleep is looming near

When the eyes are drifting

suddenly the dream thieves appear

They sneer they screech, they speak in tongues

freakish shadows, they scheme and swoop

twisting words into hateful songs

the stealer's of sleep, scream and whoop

Critters in the dark, wake you with a start

whispers in the air, every bad thought laid bare

cause jitters in the heart

voices floating there, bringing nightmares and despair

Spread doubt, and distrust, like angel dust

they trickle thoughts into the head

lead you down the path of loneliness

when your lying on your bed

They supply your dreams with ghosts and ghouls

they corrupt all happy thoughts

they are not merely fools

the dream thieves call the shots

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Legacy

Sifting through fragments of dreams
like sand that flows between the toes
fine remnants of a million sleeps
my legacy, the words I compose

With eyes wide open I dream
the shadows that dance, inspire
the sounds they must hear, music supreme
my legacy, songs that never expire

Shredded paper confetti thrown, a billion plants grown
flowers that colour the world, against the grey
blow storm clouds away, from atop this diamond throne
my legacy, a life lived every day

Flights of fancy, through galaxies, into stardust
the essence of all of us, magic of the universe
glittery and shimmering, like flecks of gold dust
my legacy, fantastic star systems to traverse

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle,

Dont change me

I could be anything, all the things you dream for me
all the people you want me to be
I could change with the seasons, a new costume for each day
but what would be left? who would that portray?

I could be all you ask, all you think I should
but inside I'd be like a rotting dead wood
I would not be me, I'd be a fake
a statue moulded from clay, just a namesake

You paint me with words, yet still don't see who is inside
not broken, just bruised with battered pride
you water me down, dilute my essence
when I see the world bright and fluorescent

Dig beneath the surface, just a little
under the skin, beneath the shell so brittle
let me take you on a trip, a journey into the mind
who knows what you may find

The person inside, sees with a smile, tastes a song on his lips
feels colours, vibrant and wild, doesn't follow scripts
likes to sing loud with passion ablaze
don't be fooled by the silent glaze

The man within, loves with heart
just needs a kick start
creates a world with a thought or two
where dreams can come true

Don't dull the edges, don't polish the cracks
or change him into a sheep following the tracks
let him thrive, let his world live loud
let him smile and be proud

Thanks for reading,

Peace & Love.

Kyle.

November nights, city lights

Remember kisses stolen in the pouring rain
you and I walking hand in hand again
When this lost boy would dance, between the sights
living, alive, those London heights

Remember the way we talked, eyes never dropped
hours would pass and we never stopped
when the lost boy found a voice, under the city lights
on those damp, cold November nights

Remember you said you loved me
moments before you ran into his arms, left me all at sea
remember those tears cried, the cold sting that bites
when my feelings died, on those cloudy London flights

Thanks for reading,

Peace & Love.

Kyle.

Chasing daydreams

Chasing daydreams
fleeting silent visions bathed in sunbeams
trying to catch them as they float by
smoky wisps of fantasy that fly high

Rainbow embers from the fires of imagination
kaleidoscopic sparkles show the way, the journey, a mind vacation
try to contain them, but they always break free
lighting the sky with glee

Collecting memories, seeking lost yesterdays
fading melodies, sounds soaked in a sepia haze
falling, failing, I don't land I'm flying
through clouds of ideas, images so mystifying

Musing through the mind's dreamscape, colours abound
gloom cut down, in a daze, I'm spellbound
reality a fairground ride, stories we tell to hide
all the doubts we hold deep inside

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.

Farewell to 2018

It has been emotional, inspiring, eventful, delighting

I started writing, after years of internal infighting

the worlds the words set free, so many new pathways

dreaming of new tomorrows, long dead yesterdays

Years end, fireworks fly, the sky alight with wondrous sights

gunpowder stings the eye, or tears cried for the good nights and invites

friendships, sail on this river of dreams, into an ocean of gold

still, shiny waters steer me clear of the storms, away from the fears of old

All the unknown tomorrows, people not yet in the story

the tale still has many twists and turns before the final glory

ghosts of the past, hauntingly flickering through reflection

I raise a drink to you, thank you for giving direction

So onwards we walk, through twisting corridors of time

those I love by my side, the bells of new year will chime

new words will flow, like waterfalls of the mind

futures unwritten, we write the next line and joy we will find

Thank you for reading,

Happy New Year.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.

Quiet Cries

Spill more blood on the page

every drop a drip soaked in age

release the rage, built up by years of waste

the tears I can no longer face

Screams written down, make such quiet cries

feel the frustration rise, sitting with blank eyes

my smile lies, I'm like a rabbit in the headlights

lost in a muddle of thoughts, always at flight

Words torn from my fragile mind, just a glimpse inside

so much I can't find, or I try to hide, running from the landslide

a jumble of emotions crashing down, buried alive

memory, something I cant remember or I've been denied

Stains on the paper here, from the tidal wave of tears

one for every second lost to the sea of fears

too many beer tainted years, reflections given heart

life, a start, a chance to be a part

Thanks for reading,

Peace & Love.

Kyle.
