My lovely storm
My lovely let me hold onto you
let me save you from this outrageous storm
that fights to be free locked inside your heart,
so beats but hurts because it comes down hard
for the lightness of your soul becomes dark
but borrow your soul to me with one kiss
to take your loss of trust to a new start.
Running the misty streets to the same place
but being able to take a new route,
running tears down your cheaks I will not chase
because they will come down for your doctor
curing your heart with your own medicine
you will set the storm free into the light
flying accross the blue sky, a rainbow
it shines bright like the eyes I look inside,
green like the grass, the scent of summers day
the innocence you defend can now play
as sat on a bed of a cheap hotel
out in the street corners the others stand
you listen to the storm and see my hand.

Pure Feeling
Isn't it funny how we all end up in dirt?
Its not about the money
or the way in which you have to work...
to get what you want in this life we live!
We give, we give, we give everything...
I hear the echoes of the angels as they sing
from the throne above which you think is owned by the kings
but this, this right here is what destiny
its what destiny brings.
The feeling from a place they can not feel
because the reflection of your eyes shines through
and shows you your real
and the poem is in the heart of the letter
the envelope you seal
the party is not a celebration of life
because there is no party left for you in the dark of the night.
Isn't it funny? Its not funny, not no more
you see the life you don't want behind the closed door

It Is In Your Eyes
What I want to know is
how you can just sit and watch him die?
how you can not help him?
You don't go to see him you don't even try.
I can not help but think
Its because he didn't raise you well
he was too fond of drink
yet he was also fond of you, I can tell.
It is in your eyes.
I want to drink with you
because I have many things to say
with advice to give you
because he has regrets you will have one day.
And I want you to know
your mistakes did not just come from him
your mum did choose to go
we are watching him die hasn't it gone in?

The Truth of Today
Yesterday I walked through the city centre
I heard a singer singing in a shop
and I just had to enter.
I stood
I listened
it was a song from the charts
it was another reminder
musics been ruined by these pop stars
it was a reminder of what we've become
because there are so many singers in this world
they're all competing
they're on shows like x factor trying to be heard
it makes me so angry
it hurts
I've seen days when it feels like nothing works
I've seen whats under the make up of these naive girls.
I've seen.
I see,
I see why you have to hide
you were young and you had dreams

Pray
I sit and rise from the dirt that covers me
a voice screams out to leave the brothers be
it feels like the worlds had enough of me
and I suffer see, feel they should suffer to
hows it feel, the worlds had enough of you
had enough of us all, watch summer, fall
winter, spring, bring the blessing that came to call
talking to you is me and a brick wall
not getting through to ignorance, no way
your not listening to the silence here
the sun is shining the day is not clear
whiskey shots in a garden made for beer
a formal love letter, I call you dear
hoping you see the reign, my thrown awaits
I know and you know we all make mistakes
no recognition to real just the fakes
a city full of guys looking for breaks
and they wonder why they are all the same
all they do is sit talking then complain
the games a table, it takes balls to play

Your shop door
I looked at the sign on your shop door
it didnt say open or closed
I tried the handle because I wasnt sure.
Thats why im here inside
Well that and the fact I want some sweats
my dad often goes to the Cafe
and they look at him when ever he eats
he takes a packed lunch
he sits on the seats
there was this one time when he got a punch
it was because he wasnt allowed to buy
they threw him out they give him a black eye
they spat on him and I never knew why.
I looked at the sign on your shop door
it didnt say open or closed
I tried the handle because I wasnt sure.
That cafe he entered was open

A Pebble In The Ocean
I dropp
I dropp a pebble in to the ocean
just to see
just to see if there will be some kind of explosion
But I don't know
no I don't know
which way this worlds going to go
the summer
the summer seems like its ready to snow
and winter
winter wants to have summers glow.
so I throw
I throw a pebble into the ocean
just to see if there will be some kind of explosion
I'm waiting for it to explode
with all the destruction we cause it never seems to go
the smoke

Strip
You looked like the perfect picture
but I erased ya I'm no longer with ya
and you know what? I don't even mis ya
I'm not really sure I should feel this bitter
I wasn't the one who found the glass slipper
you know kipper? Well he lay in the cat litter
in times of trouble he was your baby sitter
it annoyed me when thinking about how I was
words can't express how much its your loss
one day you will look at what you have got
you'll ask yourself and answer not a lot
open up conversation I'll put a full stop
so sweet, well sweet things make your teeth rot
I was caught in your arms I was tied into a knot
but I escaped and now I feel the beat drop
something told me poetry's missing hip hop
hip hops dead its a soldier that's been shot
many cowards surrounded it near a hotel
it was a pyrmyd that was representing hell
like the others you were there I can tell

Her Hidden Hill Top
I just cant understand
whats going on inside your heart
I just wanna give you my hand
so we can make a new start
and I just dont know why
you wont let me help
if you`d just let me try
I might know how youve felt?
Looking into your eyes
I see into your sole
you know the way
but you just dont know which way to go
the hill tops may be green
but they are full of snow
and the hands
they are warm from the fire
but they are freezing cold
I dont know what you think
I dont know what youve been told

Love triangle
How do you face him?
When you are facing me
you see two, forgetting theres three
you look at him but you look at me.
you have access to the door handle
believing you are inside the right angle
I make up the numbers in this triangle
and you know I can not open the doors
so you come to my side
when he doesnt come to yours
you have put him in a place he doesnt know hes in
in a love triangle its a game the cheater doesnt win
blow out your unlit candle
because theres three sides to a love triangle
oh before you go. wash your hands with the finest soap
because he cant see me and i cant see him
but you can see us both
you cant love two people. you cant.
If anyone says you can... ill still say you cant.
I dont want to touch you making sure know one sees
