DARKNESS
-
Through these dark dreary times I fill my void
Remaining upbeat and cheerful though I do get annoyed
When the pity partygoers speak of gloom and despair
In these times that we live in which seem so unfair
-
As I lay on my bed in this empty room here today
Wishing my fears and anxieties would go far away
The darkness assures and soothes my tortured mind
Allowing me to escape and relax or so I often find
-
Praying for a Miracle my body is in decline
Though my spirit is strong and thinks I'll be just fine
Faith is restored though my mind is still very weak
I accept my fate with words which I cannot speak
-
Out of the shadows and darkness I am whisked away
By an unseen angelic force in the twilight of the day
At peace my spirit finds it's final resting place
Death brings relief which is etched upon my face
-----------------------------
DISENCHANTED
I'M SWIMMING IN TROUBLED WATERS
AWAITING THE END TO COME
FLOATING IN AN EMPTY ATMOSPHERE AS ONE FALTERS
WHERE DO I REACH MY HAND WHEN I'M DONE?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IF I HAVE TO FALL FROM HIGH LET'S HOPE THE FALL WILL BE SLOW
AM ONLY FINDING PEACE IN DETACHMENT, TIME THAT IS SPENT
ALTHOUGH SEARCHING FOR INNOCENCE AGAIN TO GROW
TO ALLOW MY HEART AND SOUL TIME TO REPENT.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTHING IS MAKING SENSE AND NOTHING IS RIGHT
AS CHAOS SURROUNDS ME EVERYONE IS OFF THE MARK
CHARGING INTO BATTLE,GETTING READY FOR THE FIGHT
MY IDEALS DAMAGED,A GENERATION LEFT IN THE DARK
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHO CAN STOP ME FROM HEARING EVERYTHING?
WHICH SAINT MUST I DEVOTE MY LIFE TO AS I LAY IN MY TOMB?
WHEN REASONING IS COLLAPSING
WHO IS CARRYING ME IN THEIR WOMB?.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IF DEATH IS JUST A MYSTERY LIFE IS NOT ONLY JUST A CHALLENGE
THERE'S A HELL IN THE SKY BUT IT MUST WAIT FOR ME
TELL ME HOW TO RELEASE MYSELF FROM THESE WINDS OF CHANGE
NOTHING MAKES SENSE ANYMORE,MY MIND JUST YEARNS TO BE FREE
-------------------------------------------
DOREEN -
IN LIFE WE SELDOM TEND TO MEET
THOSE SPECIAL PEOPLE TO GREET
THAT WARM OUR HEART
WHEN WE ARE SOMETIMES APART
-
A SMILE CAN SAY SO MUCH
WHEN WE ARE REUNITED AFTER LOSING TOUCH
"OH DOREEN" HAD A UNIQUE PERSONALITY
A SPECIAL MUM WHO BROUGHT ABOUT FAMILY UNITY
-
SHE WAS HONEST,KIND AND DIRECT
TAKING HER TIME TO REFLECT
A LADY OF STYLE AND GRACE
WHO ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HER FACE
-
HER FAMILY WILL SADLY MISS HER PASSING TODAY
BUT WHERE SHE NOW RESTS THE SKIES WON'T BE GREY
FOR HER KIND SOUL HAS A NEW RESTING PLACE
IN GOD'S KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BETWEEN TIME AND SPACE

IN DEDICATION TO THE MEMORY AND LIFE OF DOREEN (MY LATE MOTHER IN LAW)

Dreams
-
In dreams we create there is a belief
That deep down our pain inside can be relieved
For in our lives there is no escape
Our very destiny and future to shape
-
Releasing our fears and exploring pleasure
It only takes a second for us to measure
That we go on from this life to something new
Regenerated from past lives where these memories grew
-
Dreams are a way of expressing reality
Subconsciously in our minds,not just pure fantasy
For each and every day new memories are stored
In relation to our needs not to remain bored
-
Waking from our slumber we find a great release
Knowing in our hearts that these thoughts have ceased
Too much study can break the mind
And peaceful contentment will prove hard to find
-
Depression
-
It began firstly in my latter day childhood
When clouds would form to create a mood
My mother would laugh and say "cheer up old son"
But in my grey times there would be no such fun
-
It felt like rain was following me around
And in my mind the voices were so profound
From deep despair to hate I got through life
Until later in my days I confessed it to my wife
-
Now it is with both of us to share
A problem halved but do we really care
Escaping the clutches of this evil disease
Will prove elusive and never will it cease
-
A prisoner at home locked in all day
To mind and Imbalance I must not stray
Fragility has created a monster in me
Reality and acceptability are not to be
-
