Autumn (Natures Artist)

Autumn (Natures Artist)

Soon the seasons change in colour
Blending into one another
Mosaic leaves shall paint the land
Enhanced by mother natures hand
Reds and Browns will cover all
As from the trees the colours fall
Spiralling before they lay
As autumns own display

Left Behind

Left Behind

Two birds broken found each other

Fell in love with one another

Mended, they became as one

And fled toward the rising sun

She the stronger flew ahead

Soared through clouds alone instead

Leaving him to fall behind

Without her, lost and blind

What was one, was two again

With separation came the pain

The same old feelings she once felt

Caused her heart to melt

She stopped and turned, then spilt a tear

Expecting him to reappear 

She searched the lonely skies below

But lost him long ago

Always There

 Always There 

It wasn't until I found you

That I knew you were always there...

You were the breathe of the breeze

The colour in trees

The whispers that answered my prayer

Each step that we took, they were perfectly placed

Our direction and aim right on cue

As every step walked would lay down the path

On the map that would lead me to you

Unkept Promise

Unkept Promise 

When you came into my life

You became this mans best friend

At a time when I needed a kind of angel

It was you they decided to send

Broken, scared, a lot like me

And one that required my care

Maybe you'd wished the very same thing

And it was me who was standing there!

We instantly connected...

As though we'd meet in another time

Like i'd been inside your heart before

And you'd been a part of mine

In those years we shared I adored you so

And the love I received from you...

Was the love I needed in lonely times

And that love it would see me through

I'm sorry I let you down...

With a promise I was unable to keep

Am I right in thinking you've forgiven me?

As you still visit me in my sleep

And every time that I see you

I'm left with the saddest of heart

Because I open my eyes in the dark of night

With the knowing we're far apart 

But I have the strongest of feelings

That we'll meet again my old friend

Where I shall honour that promise I made you

And be with you until the end

Leeds 81

Leeds 81

You never showed yourself to me...

But maybe you passed me by!

Did I witness hatred in your soul?

See death within your eye!

I'd walked the many backstreets

Passed the red walls smoked in black

It never crossed my mind

That you might stab me in the back!

A kind of strange distraction

Just a twist to show you can

That maybe out of boredom

You would choose to kill a man

You wandered unknown freely

You were hunted high and low

Posters pleaded "FIND HIM"

And the search for you did grow

I strolled the streets at night time

My eyes watched out for you

Could I be the destined one

That stopped the things you do

I'd see you there about your work

And take a brick in hand

Then bash that brick upon your head

Above you proudly stand

I'd witness rage below you 

From a horror scene of hate

Could I have been her hero?

If I'd not have come too late

But then the papers showed us

That the monster had been caught

You looked nothing like a demon

Or the devil I had sought

In fact you looked pathetic 

Just a man beneath a beard

I'd imagined Mr Hyde

At least somebody weird!

Is that why you defected?

Did you need to be a name?

Did your god do all the killing?

And leave you to take the blame!

Or did you just find power

In the softness under touch?

And find that you enjoyed it far too much!

Reap What You've Sown

Reap What You Sow

What the hell is wrong with you?

Is death what you live for?

You... The killers of innocents

The takers of life

Psychotic soldiers,  brainwashed with lies

Equipped with your guns!

Trigger fingers twitching

Preparing your bombs!

With the coward button wired

Are you happy with what you're achieving?

The spreading of hate, of anger and pain

With your threatening chantings of terror and fear

In praise of a god who has abandoned you

A god who no longer cares?

Yet prepares your very own downfall!

Cover your face 

Wash clean the blood that is staining your hands

Look to the skies that will rain with your war

And reap every seed you have sown 

Media Propaganda

Media Propaganda 

Call me a fool but I don't understand

I wonder if someone might lend me a hand

Can anyone out there please kindly explain

Convince me that others are feeling my pain

I turn on the news and I'm filled with a rage

In newspapers "death" highlights each page

An advert on tv shows children in need

The next promotes football a sport rife with greed

Wars they are fought with no outcome in sight

This god and that god "You all can't be right"

Maybe you all need to live your own lives

And not play this game in which no one survives 

I am sick to the stomach of seeing such hate

I guess that a time-out has been called too late

I can't close my eyes and pretend I don't see

Surely others feel similar to me!

A feeling so helpless and one of concern

The fact is that man is too stupid to learn!

His days are numbered, his ending is nigh

And he is too dumb to know why!
