I just write to pass the time, its not something I always do. Its just a way of
releasing feelings or problems building up!
Works:
Haha none.....yet!

A Fear In My Head
I wish I could tell you how I feel inside
But I can no longer express it, I shrivel and hide,
My mind is awake thinking oh what to do
I cannot say I never think about you.
This life that I hold, wasn't what I was after
But you came along and slowed this disaster,
Forever I am grateful for you being there
Because before you I wouldn't have cared.
This is gonna sound silly, of this I am sure
But it is the only thing I can do to try and gain a cure,
My mind fills up with thought after thought
But I am watching and learning my mind getting taught.
My shyness has spiralled I cannot let it go
No matter what I try, I've just lost that flow,
There is that great fear that I hold in my head
If I were to say anything my face would turn red.
Now can't you just see, how bad I can be
With a smile on my face but the fear still in me,
I find it so tough to express what I'm thinking
If only it felt as easy as blinking.

A Friend
A friend is a means, a way, a life,
A gift from heaven to keep you out of strife,
A life a lil like yours but through different eyes
A different role but never a despise.
Through the joy of finding your friend
The help you receive must also help to mend,
Why this life I see through your eyes so blue
A picture of a stage, something I put you through.
No matter what I do, It'll never be the same
I let you down, wasn't right, I am totally to blame,
But ask just one thing before you dismiss me
Did I ever put you down, insult you or tell you to leave me be?
The person you let me see, is full of warmth with a heart that's caring
I know I should of been as good, helping and a lot more sharing,
You've taught me things I've never seen before
Whenever I said it, I meant it, Its you as a person I did adore.
So whilst I am here, writing this, I have thought and now I know
The person I am, took a while to show, can never now get a fair show,
The path I took was wrong, believe me, I know
The friendship I had, I've ruined, long gone is that glow.
I will always remember how much you made me smile
Even through my tears, your words travelled across the miles,
You're a friend, you who helped me see what is most important to me
In the end, I let down a person who helped me realise what I could be
Please believe me when I say that I really am sorry!

A Moment
The things we take for granted so settled and so true
The things we see for pleasure so pretty and sea blue
The things that teach us what it is we are supposed to do
The things that reach through and shine that light upon you.
The sights that bequeth all we have in our hearts
The sounds that shatter and tear us apart
The voices that reach across a thousand miles
The touches that make us shiver, a quiver down to the tiles.
The rain on the window, relaxing as the sea
The snow on the hills as cold as can be
The sun in the sky that shines on you and me
The wind in the trees, as your called in for your tea.
All of them combined in a life full of unrest
All of it combined were we right to get it off our chest
All of it together so free with such rapture
I just want to be with you, this moment to capture!

Angel Kiss
We go through life so often,
Not stopping to enjoy the day.
And we take each one for granted,
As we travel on our way.
For in your pain and sorrow,
An Angel's Kiss will help you through,
This kiss is very private,
For it is meant for only you.
We never stop to measure,
Anything we just might miss.
But if the wind should blow by softly,
You'll feel an Angel's Kiss.
A kiss that is sent from heaven,
A kiss from up above
A kiss that is very special,
From someone that you love.
So when, your hearts are heavy,
And filled with tears and pain.
And no one can console you,
Remember once again.
About the ones you grieve for,
Because you sadly miss.
And the gentle breeze you took for granted,
Was just an Angel's Kiss.

As The Blossom Falls
The Tall, The Dark Of Cloth It Grows
Alone The Blossom Of The Trees Flow
Along The Ground They Swirl Around
Above The Streets Our Cities Town
Watch Out Below As They Blow
Grinding Down Speed To Slow
From The Trees Up So High
To The Floor Forever More
Feels Like Flying Through The Sky
Gravity Pulling, Watch The Wind Push It By
Starry Nights The Wind Still Strong
Always Growing And Moving On
Can Travel Forever Through Many A Town
Moves All Around You Like A Gown
Springs In The Air, Isn’t It Great?
Brightens The Day, You Cannot Slate.

Away
My Heads Killing Me, Not Sure Where I Should Be
Life’s Tough Nothings New
Why Am I Here With You
Nothings Going Right Bit I Know
You’re The One I Want To Go
Someone Help Me Get Away
I Need The Rest, Not The Pray
Sometimes Its Just To Rough
And Then It Never Ends All This Stuff
Everyone Watching Blissfully
Unaware Of The Day Passing Wistfully
Dreaming Of Something Better Of New
To Get Me Away From You

Gunner Brigade
Down from the glen came the gooner men
Highbury is there little den.
Nothing can stop these boys in red and white
There skils and passion shine real bright.
Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp too
They da men that make em stew,
Just make it look so easy
Lehmann never lets em squeez by.
Ashley Cole the left defender
Sol Campbell will never surrender,
Kolo Toure knocks a couple of heads
Lauren will make em wish they’d stayed in bed.
Freddie works really hard
Gilberto wrongly gets shown the red card.
Fabregas is a man of many talents
Robert Pires rarely loses his balance.
Arsene Wenger is the boss
He’s never had a profit loss.
He knows the players he wants to buy
As long as the price tag isn’t too high.
We are the Arsenal
The boys in red and white
No one should mess with us
We’ll always put up a fight.

Him
His Eyes Look Soft, Hair Is Dark
Every Time I See Him I Feel That Spark
He Seems A Tough One, A Real Bad Guy
Just Once I’d Like Him To Notice Me, Maybe Even Try
Even With The Baggy Jeans I Think He Has The Style
Just The One Glance He’s The Best By A Mile
All The Lads Together, Playing Pool & Drinking Beer
Think He’s Way Outta My Depth, But I Won’t Shed A Tear
Has A Tattoo On Right Shoulder, Small But Hot
Saw It That Night Out At Their Spot
Also An Earring He Has Got
Does He Ever Notice Me I Think Not
The Gate Crashed Party Was First Time We Seen Him
She Seen Him First I Thought He Looked Pretty Dim
But Then That Time On Good Friday
All The Guys Down By The Chalet
He Caught My Eye, Was Quite A Guy
I Couldn’t Speak, Couldn’t Even Try
Sat By The Car Drinking Booze
Oh The Charisma He Did Ooze.

Insecurities
The feelings that I hold, are struggling to be told
The life that I am living makes me think I should just be bold,
But once you open up, all your mind is there to see
This vulnerability will surely get to me.
It feels to me that if I let go and begin to tell you so
The gate would be open and my guard would be low,
It always felt different when I explained things before
But it seems at the moment I cannot do that anymore.
Its best to keep a lock around the thoughts I have brewing
So many different things in my head, my mind must be stewing,
For it is no longer possible for me to express what I think
Maybe One day though my mind will pull itself back from the brink.
I find it easier to express my thoughts this way, the ink onto the paper
It seems a lot less daunting then carrying on with all that caper,
I guess I could say I am scared of telling all I'm feeling
Its just how I can cope, Its just the way I'm dealing.
When I open my mind, I open my heart
I learnt before that it easily gets torn apart,
The chances of opening my soul once again are slim
There is just no easy way to really tell him.
With the blink of an eye, my thoughts can be hidden
Even though my mind is actually still ridden,
One day in the future If you still want to know
I will do my best, but please be patient If I'm slow!

Keep Being You
Just because no one has been fortunate enough
to realize what a gem you are...
doesn't mean you shine any less!
Just because no one has been smart enough
to figure out that you can't be topped...
doesn't stop you from being the best.
Just because the right person hasn't
come along to share your life...
doesn't mean that day isn't coming.
Just because no one has made
this race seem worth while...
doesn't mean you should stop running!
Just because no one has shown up
who can love you on your level...
doesn't mean you have to sink to theirs.
Just because you deserve
the very best there is...
doesn't mean that life is always fair.
Just because you haven't yet found your king/queen
doesn't mean that you're not already a queen/king
Just because your situation doesn't seem
to be progressing right now...
doesn't mean you need to change a thing!
Keep shining, Keep running,
Keep hoping, Keep praying,
Keep being exactly what you are already...
Wonderful & Complete!

Look At Me!
When you look up at me
What is it that you see?
Is it a smile the length of a mile
Or is it a heart beaming with denial!
When you stare and cast your eyes to the side
What are you thinkin, Should I run & hide,
I crash to the floor, not wanting anymore
The hurt in my head is starting to bore.
Does the look I get mean you hate me
Or do you just treat me differently,
Something in my mind has started to let go
I just wish you would look around, notice & tell me no!
If you really could look at me, right in the eye
I think I would be prepared for another goodbye,
Your features tell a story of the thought in your head
What is it I ask, watever it is, you never said!

Mental Feelings
This Spirit is killing me
I need my time, can’t you see?
Life’s too short to be this bad
Don’t you understand why I’m so sad?
Looking forward instead of back
That’s the best way to stay on track
Keep your strength, make it grow
But realise this process is slow
Bringing back the world’s insight
Into your mind, your feeling bright
Remember to breathe, resist the fright
Keep going don’t give up the fight
Forever thinking, sometimes down
Please do not moan when I need to frown
I’ll recover in my own way
If I’m not smiling leave me till another day

Mind Darkness
I don't know what to say, I don't know what to do
I am really sorry for the things that I have put you through
I've tried to find a place to sit and think about these times
But it doesn't seem to work, my head spins with rhymes.
I don't want to give up the fight, of having you as my friend
I miss you more then you can see,
I wish I was the person you want me to be.

Missing You
I miss you when something good happens to me,
Because you are the one I want to share it with.
I miss you when something bad happens to me,
Because you make everything better.
I miss you when I cry,
Because you hug my tears away.
I miss you when I'm laughing,
Because you make my laughter grow.
I miss you through all those times,
But I miss you the most when I'm laying in bed at night,
Thinking about you, Because before I always knew,
Someway, Somehow, You were thinking of of me too.
And that is why it is then that I miss you most.
Because I'm not so sure,
You're thinking about me Anymore...

My Mates
I was sitting here thinking
of words I wanted to say,
but they just wouldn't come out right
so I found a different way.
I got a piece of paper
and I wrote this poem for you,
but there's no way to thank you
for everything you do.
For always being nice to me
and staying by my side,
for helping fix my problems
and never leaving me behind.
For accepting my thoughts and feelings
though you do not understand,
for never giving up on me
and being my best friend.
For making me laugh
and letting me cry,
and saying you'd miss me
if I were to die.
Everything you mean to me
you could never know,
in all the ways you've changed my life
I could never show.
The way you take care of me,
your my shining star
and though it's so incredible
that's just the way you are.
Before I get to mushy
it's time for me to go,
but before I leave this ink-filled page
there's one thing you should know.
As long as we are living
no matter when or where,
if you ever need me
just call and I'll always be there.
I'll climb a thousand mountains
and swim a thousand seas
anything to be there
cause you always been there for me.

Pouring Out My Heart
Sitting here in the chair and thinking, will I ever hear from you, I'm blinking,
Wondering why my mind is fried, my heart could soon be sinking.
Am I really just a phase to you, someone to help you see and pull you through
Or did you confide to keep an option open, maybe its wrong and what you speak is
true.
I think about how I feel now time has given me an option, what was it I should have
said?
Was I right to tell the truth, letting my feelings unbed or should i have kept it in my
head?
I look at myself in a mirror and feel ashamed for liking you so much
Am I being selfish by truly gasping, wanting to feel your touch?
A week has passed since you opened your heart and told me how you felt
The words sunk in and mind grew thin as I noticed my heart melt.
I feel the same I said to you, knowing of such a complication
Its tough to know what to do, this isnt a great situation.
The rhymes I phrase upon this page, makes it look its all I care for,
As days go by and friends do fly, my mind doesnt want it anymore.
But if I were to lose you from in my life, it would be quite a sadness
And even though I wish to be friends, maybe your sick of such a madness.
The page is small, my words a little, the time has come to end this riddle
But before I do there is one more thing I wish to tell from my mind of griddle.
You were my friend, a true sweet gent, so kind, soft and funny
I will believe the best was meant from words you spoke to me huni
Just so you know, mine were true too and I will always be here for you!

Rain Cloud!
Watch It, Crawling Surface Creeping
Then The Cars That Are Always Beeping
Strength Is Needed, Truly Deserved
Beat Em Down Show Them Your Not Preserved
When The Time Comes You Shall Know
Do Not Worry, But If You Do It Does Not Show
Pleasant Trips Taken Yearly
Contributed To You Dearly
Second Sighting Before Fighting
Watch Those Tendons, Please No Biting
Freaky Washers Bee Bop Stoppers
Always Facing The Brunt From The Choppers
Furious Weathers Thundering Down
When It Rains I Always Frown
Weather’s Tough To Understand
Maybe Clouds Should Be Banned
Life Is Freaky, Rain Is Wet
Will There Be A Summer? Yeh? Wanna Bet?
Slim To None Is My View
Hopefully This Year The Sun’s Not Through
Partly Mine Partly Yours
But That Don’t Let You Away With The Chores
Stand Tall With That Head Up High
But Please Don’t Forget Me, Say Goodbye.

Risk
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out for another is to risk involvement
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self
To play your ideas, your dreams before the crowd
is to risk their loss
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To live is to risk dying
To hope is to risk despair
To try is to risk failure
But risk must be taken, because the greatest hazard
in life is to risk nothing
The person who risks nothing, does nothing,
has nothing and is nothing
He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply
cannot learn to feel, change, grow, love.
Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave
He has forfeited freedom
Only a person who risks.....is free

Rob Zombie
When I see the picture on my wall, it doesnt fade me or make me fall.
I see the face trying to be full of hate, but those eyes will not co-operate.
With your films I first heard your name, but it was your music that shot you to fame.
The films are mad, so weird and scary, my mum thinks your extremely hairy.
When I hear that said about you, I try to say its not how you look but what you do.
Your mind is crazy, completely mad, full of weird things even if they can be bad.
Your crazy work, I admire so.. I like to see the way you go.
The return to music is also good, I just wish you'd play in my neighbourhood.
This little rhyme was written about you, to prove that your work does get through.
From a fan who loves your crazy way, even if the influence stays at bay.
So thank you Mr Zombie for all you do, the showbiz world really does need you!
(not my best piece but its just a dedication to an amazing star)

Temptation
Starry eyes that see the sky,
they see above and want to fly.
Feeling hurt and peeking through
A looking glass, easy for you.
Temptation looms, I hold it back,
The chance to touch should I interact?
I want to know what it is your seeing,
Out those eyes that fill with being.
If my mind was to tell the truth,
Its you I want, what would be proof?
I look above, I look beyond,
To see the edge of this hellish pond.
With eyes so bright and a smile so cheeky,
How can I refuse the offer so meekly?
Too see those eyes so close to mine,
Would be the only thing I shouldnt decline!

The Frightening Fear
Fear of oneself is a fear deep within
To scrap through the noise and deepen the grim,
Though life is precious its tough to see
The wanting and needing of some to me!
I do not deny, that feeling inside
My mind is blowing but it won't decide,
What is it I want from the life I am holding
Or is it a case of a severe social Moulding.
I'm feeling more at ease with the thoughts in my head
My mind does not spin when I lie on my bed,
I bet this will sound strange to some who do not know me
I don't mind though Its I that needs to see.
Sitting here now and thinking about this
The fear has subsided, I feel a little bliss,
The thing I did do I am not proud about
But forever thankful for this extra shout.
The fear I do feel is a fear of not knowing
What does lie ahead with the time always growing,
The feelings I have felt are tough to push out
Its frightening to think of the fears that run throughout.

Things We Take For Granted
Too often we don't realize
what we have until it is gone;
Too often we wait too late to say
'I'm sorry - I was wrong.'
Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
we hold dearest to our hearts;
And we allow foolish things
to tear our lives apart.
Far too many times we let
unimportant things into our minds;
And then it's usually too late
to see what made us blind.
So be sure that you let people know
how much they mean to you;
Take that time to say the words
before your time is through.
Be sure that you appreciate
everything you've got
And be thankful for the
little things in life
that mean a lot.

Unfortunate Sights
When my world smiles
I feel on top of my game
The whole thing lasts for miles
Just for this I should take the blame.
I always wondered when I would feel free
I suppose that might never be
The hearts and souls of many a more
When life is seen as a total bore.
Just don't understand which way is best
How is it fair, In your life feeling like a guest
I will understand the world, one day
Maybe then I can have my say.
Its time to stop and take a look
One day I'll be able to provide that left hook
Just step aside, look beyond it
I'm finding it tough to even look a little bit.
