The Sociopath (1)

I sat alone today and wondered if I could still feel,
Inside my soul I believe nothing is truly real.
Alone once again and it doesn’t even cause me pain.
I try to remember how to have blind belief gained.

I can never start again,
But I wish I could do it today,
So I could find myself,
So I could find a way.

I wear a tiara of incredulity within my hair,
At the world I can only stare.
As time flies, my feelings fly away,
A part of me is glad they didn’t stay.

What have I become?
Without a friend,
They all left me in the end.
And I will gladly fall backwards into the dirt,
Because I have no one to disappoint.

A Lady's Eye

A teardropp falls from a lady's eye,
Misery seeps into her being,
She gives a deep, breathy, longing sigh,
And dreams about believing.

A shiny veil covers a lady's eye,
The world is dark and blurred,
She gives a moan and wants to die,
But her cries are never heard.

Water runs from a lady's eye,
Clogging up her thought,
Deep inside her creates a cry,
Of joy she never caught.

A lady's eye grows hard and sad,
Never to have the life she dreamed,
At the world she feels painfully mad,
Things were never as they seemed.

Utopia

Long golden hair swirls around my bosom as I twirl
My flowing skirt dances with my body as we whirl
Dancing in the moonlight, singing to our song
In peace and happiness, this is where we belong
All around us the couples dance in union
No discriminations, women dance with men
Men dance with men, women dance with women
There’s no pride of sexuality to defend
There’s no war, no quarrels and no pain
The idea of cruelty is just insane
All love and all dance to celebrate everyday
Because we understand that to love is okay
We care for each other for this is our home
We are equal no matter your skin tone
So swirl me around the world with joy
And know we belong if you are girl or boy

Anthropomorphism

Monkeys looking like a man could be,
Climbing to get the fruit off of the tree.
Isn't that just like a human?
What makes them different to us?

Female tigers protecting their cubs,
While the male goes hunting in the shrubs.
Isn't that just like a human?
What makes them different to us?

Puppies barking at the sound of danger,
To protect their home from a stranger.
Isn't that just like a human?
What makes them different to us?

Birds chirping back and forth,
Sounds like talking for what it's worth.
Isn't that just like a human?
What makes them different to us?

The Bookworm

This alien land is made of paper
Its pages stay firmly stuck together
Until this foreign creature slides them apart
She ruins their land like she has no heart

In these pages there are symbols
For the educated, they are tools
At a fast pace, the creature drinks them down
It was amazing that she didn’t drown

The symbols tell a story, only the creature knows
In them she escapes all of her foes
It is joyful to roll in the words
To fly through them just like birds

She squiggles on her stomach,
The world only sees her back
She enjoys being so low down
The story will never make her frown

Dad and Me

Inside our house you'll find crannies and nooks.
Crevices and cracks and fissures and books!
Books under the bed and on the floor,
Books around the table and beside the door,
Books on the bookshelf and surrounding it,
Books all over the house, every single bit!
Not a one of these books are non-fiction,
Different worlds are their depiction.
Fictional, sci-fi, dark and fantasy,
Horror and happy, more books for me!
Books belonging to my father,
Or belonging to me as I rather.
My father and I in bookworm heaven,
Until mum cleans up around half past seven.
She throws the books in a huff,
Says it's a mess and to clean it up!
Well dad and I try to clean,
But on the work we quickly wean
And in one of the larger nooks
You'll find dad and me reading our books.

The Reason We Search For Love

In the beginning everyone had:
Two heads,
Two hearts,
Two personalities
And eight limbs

But these two personalities did fight
Even though they knew it wasn’t right
They loved each other more than themselves
But in anger they placed that love on shelves

One day one side said to the other
I am sick of you, I want another
And their shared body ripped in two
They found another like they said they’d do

The ones they found ripped as well
So their true love also fell
Soon no one was their full self
And they felt as small as an elf

Phobia

Tremors wrack my entire body
Painful adrenaline sweeps through
Fear at everything, fear at nothing
If only you knew...

If only you knew how the heart speeds up
How the chest clenches
How the lungs contract
How the heart wrenches

The back aches
The eyes sting
The hands curl
Afraid of the thing

There is nothing there
Yet there is indeed something
Of that there is surety
As the ears ring

The Algernon-Gordon Effect (5-7-5 Poem)

Man considered dumb,
Retardation sufferer.
Lost inside the world.

Now science evolves;
Operation makes him smart,
Genius he soon becomes.

Befriends Algernon,
Lab mouse that got changed before him,
Two geniuses.

Scientists use them.
They run away together;
Scared but not alone

Algernon changes,
Charlie brings him back to lab,
Right back to the start.

Anything Is Possible

When I ask others what they believe they say
"I'm a Christian, Jesus is my saviour"
"I'm an atheist, when I die I lie in a hole"
"I'm a Buddhist, I believe in peace"

But when others ask me my belief, I say
I believe anything is possible,
I believe in fairies, I believe in ghosts,
I believe in the things that go bump in the night
I believe in a superior force and the supernatural
I believe in vampires and I believe in werewolves

I believe in Shakespeare:
‘There are more things in heaven and earth...'
I believe in Steven King:
‘There are other worlds than these'

I believe anything is possible and everything is beautiful
I believe if you look hard enough you will always see the beauty
In the earth, in the imaginary and the mystery
