Beyond The Pale
Uncertainty burdens the tired mind
Always there, the emotional pest
Fear evolves as free with joy’s kind
Before birth forgotten is the rest

If you could embrace immortality

With inspiring endless devotional will
You may remain in paradise’s eternity
With Angels dedicated sermons to fulfil

Peace is notions choice of passion’s commitment

Regarding the light of divine truth as fair’s just
Apathy for thy neighbour seldom doth repent
One-track minds seek varieties decadent lust

Gracing through tunnel’s light removes mortal vale

A little faith may elevate Angels beyond the pale

The Grave
Crows perch on erected marble stone
Moles scurry through mystery beneath
Trees sway alone on crowned throne
Grass incognito tires on the miry heath

Words of memories, treasures ascendant fly

Orchestral score for inevitable requiem
Shoulder’s fabric absorbs tears that dry
Voices out of sync disparagingly contemn

Every sentimental day brings flowers

Life taken too young changes perception
Agony’s absence endures mortal hours
Worrying eternal needs divine affection

Will the observant crow ask the mole

What doth lie beyond the earthly hole?
Twilight Flame
Love’s prism separates the once united light
Shining to deceive a majestic bond torn apart
Broken symmetry glows blinded by the night
Another steak driven into an aching heart

Wounded soul of isolation may break

The resolving freezing fire coming near
Saturated, drowning in desperation lake
Surfacing the waters from a fallen tear

Calling of love’s division hallows a flame

To glow brighter for cause close to man
Only a heaven spell cast relieves the pain
For the unity of a beloved two once ran

The walls of love’s segregation always topple

When one and one embrace to be a couple

Terra-Firma Titan
Earth trembles with the stampede
The lonely giant strolls without care
Hand burrows the land for seed
Devastating tremors are a deadly snare

Wandering without knowledge he seeks

Escalating out of control with desire
Danger breathing since birth of weeks
Searching for the wish granting fire

Stopping by the brook of a blue flame

His wish may elude yet is granted
Previous wrongs write the pain
Loneliness evaporated as solace departed

No longer does the earth shake with fright

With no Titan every again holding up the night
Wild Feather
Cherishing nostalgia of sentiment lost
Burdens a tired mind of confusion
Memories evaporate like summer frost
Pained with grief in the permanent illusion

The flowers bloom in spring divine

Brightening days, transforming night
The colourful display is measured in time
Even the sky revels in a performing delight

The tiresome drain of emotional stress

Paves way for a fleeting old sensation
Never pray at witching hour, they confess
Souls are mapping a star littered constellation

When you see a wild floating feather blown

Maybe an angel is absent from their throne

Lost Comforting Petals

Life without the lost comforting petals
Sheds dried ice trails to openly awaken
Encompassed in agony is life’s perils
Breaking silence of misery spoken

Time shall melt evidence’s pain

Then honour breaks passing grief
All the testament is corrupting gain
Burning fever of iniquitous relief

Love’s gravity pulls feathers from the sky

Down they float to land by the tapping feet
Emotions are captured from a sincere eye
Chancing requiem fables to touch as they meet

Born to the notion, heralding a devotional glance

Nothing tastes as bitterly dry as severed romance
Moonbeam Eyes
Glory is set in precious stone
Now her divinity rests with me
She abdicated her royal throne
To love and adore me eternally

Nature’s beautifully gracious special lady

Charms searching hearts into submission
Her affectionate cocktail is a healing remedy
Finding sorceress’ yearning for the magician

Imagine all the sentiment we infinitely share

In each other’s company, wearing no disguise
The angels reserve a throne for you, my heir
All galaxies miss her divine moonbeam eyes

The lady, a rolling stone gathering no moss

Universal bows before thy eloquent cosmos

The Downfall
Poison tears chaos through every cloud
Flowers wilt in humanity’s selfish endeavour
Collections awake pride in the chasing crowd
Prophecies are ignored with darkening weather

The downfall of decadent applause

Stirs ignorant notions of age old apathy
No one minds vanity of clapping cause
Degrading spiral of indestructible catastrophe

Degradation of character always contaminates

The righteous away from the road of truth
Policies award the debaucheries which generates
Spirits to erode breathing fire of grace’s youth

Wherever the soul catapults into pain and shame

Leaves integrity and dignity in the collective game
A Foreboding Disguise
A foreboding disguise
Before a hungry mountain
Beyond waterfall lies
Crimson Queen’s fountain

All the tales the heart knows

Are thought and regarded
Love in every coupled rose
Affection’s shapes hath rounded

Tears beholds truth which deceives

Inebriated beyond fears for relief
Masqueraded agreement grieves
With iniquity left upon the heath

Humanity’s concept key is soul’s core

Unrepentant sin reincarnates as before

Lonely as a Bird
Wings fan with air’s drifting grace.
Swallowed seed of company’s keep.
Little heart wrapped in lonely lace,
Calling a morning song to soul’s weep.

Flying high above allied ground,

Peering on human traffic confusion.
Avoiding interaction free of sound,
Pursuits of interest, a shared illusion.

Digging up dirt to frenzy feed.

Nothing gained with victory alone.
Vacantly abundant with greed,
Survival instinct of purged throne.

The spectacular echoing call of nature’s bird,

Serenades with delight to drift by the absurd.
Beyond the Pale
Uncertainty burdens the tired mind
Always there, the emotional pest
Fear evolves as free with joy’s kind
Before birth forgotten is the rest

If you could embrace immortality

With inspiring endless devotional will
You may remain in paradise’s eternity
With Angels dedicated sermons to fulfil

Peace is notions choice of passion’s commitment

Regarding the light of divine truth as fair’s just

One-track minds seek varieties decadent lust

Gracing through tunnel’s light removes mortal vale

A little faith may elevate Angels beyond the pale

First Sight
Alliance captured at first glance
Soul’s yearn with passion’s hold
Tales herald new burning romance
Agony of lonely hearts are sold

Dedicated sermons elevate grace

Stars align in the cosmos to serenade
Unravelled hearts chain of locked lace
Previous sentiment ache perishes to fade

Appreciation of fate by destiny’s two

Romantically engage as lips caress
Eruption on the mind of adoring true
Dreaming together free of stress

The lovers are separated by nothing of death

Embraced in each others wish with dying breath
Four Seasons
Eerie dark winter night
Misty tree soaked lagoon
Fireflies scour with light
Nocturnes ignite the moon

Spring’s golden clear fresh morn’

Cradles serenity into inspiration
Carpet’s army stealthily on lawn
Instinct evolving constellation

Crystal waters of peace’s cool

Replenishes ambition on a summer’s day
Forest fruits abundant by the pool
High-aligned altitude wings born to prey

Weather cycle eternal of calculated sowed

Autumn’s street mire of destruction mowed

Storm Light
Darkness enshrouds lonely company
Glitter spark deluging light messiah
Crashing clouds transform harmony
Scorched trees of iniquity’s desire

Tormenting aggression scars the mind

For rage to encompass active intolerance
The suffering heart connects the blind
Virtuous intentions elevates relevance

The truth masquerades as a preaching lie

For people to reach a devastating conclusion
Harpooned moon bleeds from pierced sky
Belief without merit is tantamount confusion

Every year the miry shadow heath does grow

Angels’ snowy tears pile new purity show
Aftermath Heart
Passion vacated, never returning
The sun’s depleted its majestic rays
Pain’s grief ignites into burning
Uncertainty grieves in infinite ways

The dead have no heart to lie

Emotionless resting from deceit
Before breath escapes, I try
To overcome love’s defeat

To dream is reality’s serene flame

Bequeath the challenge to eternal rest
Broken aspiration shadows shame
To lay upon souls, something to detest

All the words which are presently spoken

Are tales for the queen’s affectionate token

Enchantment
Beyond the eyes is sacred trust
Dancing to project old emotion
Love’s devotion is absent of lust
Calling to depths of an ocean

Sweet lingering hold of bond’s caress

Serenades thoughts capturing a moment
All previous drama subsides the stress
Drifting sobriety is agony’s atonement

Bringing forth sincerity’s compassion

Longing to bare fruits of cradled labour
Eternally encapsulated is galaxy’s fashion
Entwined constellation is victory’s harbour

Subtlety’s enchantment delivers serenity’s calm

Star-crossed lovers are written in heart’s palm
Life Incarcerated
Clipped wings in a sturdy cage
Fed ignorance at every turn
Melancholy substituted for rage
Controlled beak feeding to burn

They isolate me in depression

To insult my loss of liberty
Society teaches a harsh lesson
With the imprisoned catastrophe

Everyday counts down the clock

Until another dimension takes hold
A new day embraces gravity’s mock
Locked in a box waiting to be sold

The only way out of an agonizing mind

Is freedom, leaving incarceration behind

Harlot Shadows
She rushes through my mind
Causing chaos at every turn
Is it the light she shall find?
Or will she eternally burn?

What does she seek

This harlot of mine?
Abusing the weak
Truant to the divine

What does she want with me?

I loathe to ask
Is it corruptibility
For every task?

The whore of the mind thou shall resist

Pine no longer to harbour and exist
King Sin
Tapestries plentiful in a domed arched palace
Evil tyrant settles on his throne of sinful greed
Decadence sipping from a sparkling chalice
Inherits plagued kingdom for debauchery seed

People starve while he feasts on the finest meat

The lands gestates disease as he ogles in the mirror
Iniquity fondles garments of silk in the royal suite
Peasants huddle through winter and woe with wirra

Dastardly lust for countess of court

Bringing her a stuffed stag as a gift
Ravaging earth with call to arms’ mort
Spreading of pestilence fields is swift

Jericho of empire will collapse credited to spin

No guilt of shame shall be the realm to ruin

Meat Me
I live in the free field
Parts of me exist in many a shop
I have no choice but to yield
When I suddenly drop

A bolt gun callously to the head

Electricity shoots through my veins
I’d prefer a humane death instead
Before scooping of my brains

The butcher has his way

My torn remains are in pieces
For the public I’m on display
My terror was shown in faeces

I would embrace another green pasture day with my clan

How long will my kind last, if it’s left in the hands of man?
Sanctuary’s Fall from Serenity
She walks gracefully through the clouds
Wings arched over the morning sun
Floating past confusion of tiring crowds
Spanning feathers to unite earth as one

He swims the deepest troubled ocean

To redeem sanctuary’s fall from serenity
Cradled bubble is Trident’s love potion
The only cure to serenade a deity

The angel’s of dignity save compassion

From eroding with the sands of time
Borrowed knowledge is destiny’s lesson
Their test of character is truly divine

The mortal pain of love’s laboured loss

Grows eternal with ignited scorched moss

Crystal Chocolate Cherry

Seduced taste of a galaxy
Bequeaths soul’s notion
Decadence’s indulgent clarity
Drowning a tasty ocean

Yearning spark of desire

Crunching chocolate glass
Cosmos mouth of ice fire
Treasure in universe’s class

Delicious shimmering crystal fruit

Complacency traverses content
Muse’s star-spangled flute
Political pied pipers to repent

Cradling crystal chocolate cherry

Planetary exodus of faithless many
(ebula’s Expanding Veil
Heaven may harbour constellational tears
For a decadent turbulent society
Transgressions’ iniquity mire lasts years
In an indulgent complex reality

Abundantly time triggered light

Gyration’s stars careening in space
Eternal recess releasing night
Galactic foreigners, pyramid trace

Cosmos clouds that majestically pass

Beyond nebula’s expanding veil
A drifting black hole, translucent glass
Rendering globes into judgment’s jail

A prophet made for investment in the Lord

Infiltrates derogatory command to defraud

United Hope Divided

Devotion hath a severe heart
To amend a broken dream
Moon, stars lonely drift apart
When fish float in a stream

Nebulas pass beyond hope’s reach

Colourful sheets cover dusty space
The galaxies whistle to blindly teach
Divinity is for the queen’s gentle grace

Incognito wings of innocent desire

Elevates serenity to draw thy wing
Fluttering to fan eternal cosmic fire
Muse’s spell to enchant nature’s king

Honest sentiment drives to release expression

Soul’s lips touch to encompass love’s confession
Sewer Children
Many experience poverty, going broke
Wallets are poor yet hearts are rich
Street curb used tab-ends to smoke
Praying daily for prosperous switch

Experimental recluses secluded alone

Wallpaper peels with mouldy damp
Body tightens, no heating at home
Stomachs grumbling, painful cramp

Rejected for lack of wealth

Wearing rags and holey shoes
Trampled and left on the shelf
Depressed by the jobless blues

Being poor and hungry unfolds to despair

We celebrate when collecting welfare

Peace Is
Peace is being with someone you love
Peace is a tranquil sunny day
Peace is in the constellation above
Peace is when the dolphins play

Peace is sharing
Peace is feeling free
Peace is caring
Peace is for you and me

Peace is a blooming flower

Peace is a starry night
Peace is spiritual power
Peace is eternal light

Peace stirs in the senescent soul

Peace unites rendering us whole
Serenity’s Calming Jury
Beyond serenity’s calming jury
Lays eyes void of veil’s disguise
Constellational tears burn fury
In blind valley of sinister spies

Time’s lip service endless obsession

Quietly gathering devout reaction
Bankrupt spiritual karma recession
Malevolent sought malefic intention

All tides wash, corroding away

Foundations of iniquity’s sand
Stars eternal, crushingly slay
Beasts in Galileo’s solar hand

A path travelled for love’s diplomatic devotion

Heightens carolling of enchantment’s emotion

Wings in the Clouds

An angel serenades the crashing sky
Elevating the sun to wash the moon
The night and stars temporarily fly
Muse’s flute whistles clarity out of tune

Resting with fauna to cradle breath

They salute with honest smiling charm
Deluging with notion of journey’s death
A plucked feather ceases wrath’s alarm

Reborn into the sky transforming it black

The glitter sparkles for serenity’s taste
Nocturnes comfort the dark of sun lack
The feather blown away to feeding waste

All the tales of woe, a gracious angel has seen

Are misery tears replenishing an elegant soul clean
Hate Is
Hate is restricting peoples’ voice
Hate is not listening to reason
Hate is dictation with no choice
Hate is unpatriotic treason

Hate is denying the one you love

Hate is being selfishly cruel
Hate is caging nature’s free dove
Hate is draining earth’s fuel

Hate is tragic blood spilling war

Hate is cheating on a spouse
Hate is stealing from a charity store
Hate is a broken house

Hate makes us behave so spiteful

Hate conquered, makes us delightful

Starlight Rose
A rose secluded in glorious light
Eternally cherishing of paradise
Galaxy’s petals woven tight
Sown of majestic crystal ice

Doth the inevitable worm

Crawl searching to destroy?
Rose of notoriety may learn
Sacrifice is divinity to employ

Beyond the hills of wonder

Are pastures bound to save
Lightning rain chants thunder
Harvesting spirits from the grave

Every plucked petal of starlight rose

Depicts fable tales for requiem shows
Season Tree
Leaves pile street mire
Moss spreads on branches arm
Glorious flower bud sapphire
Autumn’s temporary loss of charm

Naked witches’ tree of winter’s dismay

Swaying to amuse in the howling wind
Robin’s nest of twig wonder on display
Cracked bark reveals sap skinned

Blossoming flowers of spring’s delight

Golden dawn lightens work for a bee
Mayflies swamp whisper tree at night
Illustrious colours blend by bridges quay

Timber down crashing jolly tree of season

Poisoning earth’s lungs is liable treason

Alone in the (eighbourhood

Unknowingly jilted to live in the trees
Howling with moon’s light, void of fear
Sun grazing in shore’s glistening seas
Jumping off branches to wrestle a deer

Neighbourhood solace conclusion

Amused with nature’s candy
Sugar rush gorging confusion
Drowning in shell’s shandy

Decadence of isle bounty treasure

Impending doom of agony’s break
Man Friday’s jaw pains displeasure
Clover oil sooths after toothache

Life’s poetry in motion natural king, left bemused

Fate’s path crossed him with pirates, who rescued
Serenity’s Magical Touch
Embracing scent of the queen’s taste
Erasers all melancholy drama to heal
One look of grace I steal never to waste
Wraps me in emotions to adoringly feel

A glance upon serenity’s magical touch

Captures the elegant soul and grips twice
A wink of devotion surrenders too much
Love and respect the only needed vice

Everyday, counting down hours of time

Until the spirit realizes a truth in the
Boundless loyalty in hearts for the divine
Nirvana’s muse spell entrances eternally

The caressing touch promises honest affection,

Serenity’s light and grace calms with protection.

Dear Faithful Islam

In times of desperation, struggle and oppression
Allah cherished one man’s light turned prophet
Allah bestowed peaceful law for his compassion
Peace be upon Muhammad gracing space orbit

Muhammad realized the gift of adorned love

Showered down to encourage creation’s plight
Allah’s truth cradles in the eyes of a dove
Whose gracious starry wings arch to delight

Passion, purity of heart guiding aeon’s change

Equality needs light of characters to succumb
Words of holy preaching found ears exchange
A true and just belief to unite faith as one

Muhammad’s bravery forever outshines valour

Eternally I testify, there is only one Allah
Love Is
Love is a connection of the heart
Love is a blossoming tree in spring
Love is sensual sounds akin to Mozart
Love is chanting angels who sing

Love is the gentle caressing touch

Love is a bee pollinating a flower
Love is saying, “I adore you so much!”
Love is never been corrupt with power

Love is putting other people first

Love is finding someone you can trust
Love is excepting folk at their worst
Love is a yearning immune to cold lust

Love elevates the spirit unto the sky

Love without sincerity shall never fly

Tudor Rose
Grace’s witness beholds truth
Of paradise’s everlasting serenity
Resurrected stars for eternal youth
Residing glory, rendering harmony

Red and white of rose’s grave

Illuminates history’s passing
One left petal may save
Yesterday’s love from crossing

Art thou invisible to thy worth?

Languishing without counsel
Embraced in thy spirit is earth
Sanctuary in thy heart’s temple

The unified garden of reverend’s grove

Separates love from those who loathe
A Thousand Pieces of Gold
Indifference leads to distorted clarity
To which peace surrenders to perversion
Broken is dreams of aspiring reality
In the conditioning apathetic cohesion

Society spends a thousand pieces of gold

To indulge the senses away from truth
Harmony is shattered and dignity is sold
Ringing tills charges for amusement’s youth

Denial of inevitability is queued on display

The normality is tantamount to humanity lost
Mandatory for next day survival does pay
Souls are non-refundable with guaranteed cost

Centralized are desires to crush charity’s salvation

Money spins the world with ignorant dedication

Fear Is
Fear is on the street
Fear is in the home
Fear is strangers we meet
Fear is being alone

Fear is living to regret

Fear is absent knowing
Fear is being in debt
Fear is not showing

Fear is rejection
Fear is out of love
Fear is no affection
Fear is not from above

Fear can take hold and have you

In its stranglehold merciless grip
Fear is a fleeting emotion.
With power of spirit it does slip.
What Am I?
Buzzing around my ear
Searching for a place to land
Come a little closer near
I’ll squash you with my hand

Frantic wings flutter

Flying in circles abound
Does thy know of my limb stutter?
As I attempt to squish you on the ground

Your diet is appalling and sweet

Playing aerial combat with a mate
Attracted to my aura you land at my feet
What a mistake when you flew on my plate

You cleanse yourself on dirt

Now I flatten you, reap the hurt
