Tuesday,Jun 9 2009, 01:07:30 PMThe Wind Howled

The Wind Howled

And the wind howled
To mark the time
The rain also cried
When the last man died

Polar caps had long since melted away
Sea levels had grown higher every day
Small hills now each an island state
All because we left it too late

For actions delayed by accountancy rules
Had come too late for those in our schools
To ever live a life like those before them
Victims of denial by far too many men

Awake I now recalled this dream
And hope we will avoid this scene
One that man might come to rue
But the future's up to me and you

Be Released

The long tentacles of time
Reached out to grip my mind
Attempting to secure me in this state

They're going to fail to keep their grip
For if I've got owt to do with it
Surgeons steel will soon be cutting them away

Then with my freedom repossesed
Bringing a final end to my distress
Once again I'll choose the paths I wish to tread

Into the world I will then stride
While I search for thoughts inspired
To take me into those fields that I have lately missed

For though I've been held here in this space
I've ever kept in touch with all our race
Though at times some seemed to doubt I would return

Every day I'll find more to say
And tell it all in my own way
Nothing is going to gag me anymore

With those metal parts they'll put inside
My mind will be freed from pain that tried
To bury all my thoughts within analgesic mists

August will be my month in which to reveal
How my scars have then been seen to heal
And so the flow of trapped words will surely be released

Pray dream of wondrous places where inspiration grows on trees
And jangles ever more in a soft warm scented breeze
Where all of us that ever paused to write
Will find some inspiration in the night
When dreams portray through swirling mists
The true passion of a lovers kiss
And so can bring some prose to those
Who strain to see on their tip toes
The wonders of a new bloomed rose
That's growing just behind the wall
We couldnt climb when we were small

Sweet dreams I sanction for all who scribe
Those who create must not be denied
A vision from whence they cast new scenes
Painted in rhyme from those eery dreams
Take sustenance and candles long
Behold the words that flow upon
The parchment, screen or paper pad
With quill or type or pen we're glad
To find the steady pass of time
Does not our spirits undermine
As long as ever more we may write
For all our days and flicker filled nights

Lean On Me

Lean on me
If the world has worn you down
Lean on me
I will take away your frown

Take my hand
I will guide you with all care
Take my hand
There is nothing I wont share

You need water
Then we will sink a well so deep
You need food
These seeds we plant so you can reap

Take my hand
For the future of the world
Take my hand
Depends on friendships now unfurled

Lean on me
I come to heal all rifts
Lean on me
Love is the greatest of all gifts

Friday,Dec 19 2008, 07:45:25 PMMan Is The Beast

Man is the beast animals fear the most
On the land, from coast to coast
Death and destruction has followed him worldwide
Taking more than he should ever need
So they have nowhere to live or hide 

Man is the beast women fear the most
On the drink he can't be seen
As anything more than cruel and mean
A changeling with a can in hand
Why when sober won't he understand

Man is the beast children may fear the most
In his pursuit of vile plans
Will they suffer at his hands
Or find they are just in his way
For with their mother he wants to play

Man is the beast with the power to change
His brain if used can rearrange
All these actions for better ways
Leave no trails of damage when he ends his days
Instead find time to see 
That folk fondly recall his legacy

Man is the beast who could be the host
Warmly praised from coast to coast....
