Here's some of my early stuff from age 17-20 - it was strange re-reading some of it! I can still remember when I wrote them too!!
Losing That Fear Why is it so important to our peace of mind,
The truth, the secrets, the lies to find?
Honesty, this policy, the best and the rest,
Tell me what’s up and uncover this mess.
Hearing this unsavoury news, not a surprise,
Pushing to recover our minds with despise.
Clawing and creeping, feeling and failing,
Hoping, ignoring, finding out and wailing.
Stupid, stupid, again and again,
Allowing ourselves to be torn by a friend.
Why? Someone answer me why does life treat me bad?
Or is life’s experience twisted to make me mad?
Players, cheaters, liars and believers,
Fools with dreams and soft hearts, oh hear us!
Stop! Before time comes when we say,
Break us twice, no more play for days.
Sweet Sweet Music Listen to my heart, look deep into my eyes,
Tell me what you see, tell me no lies.
Feel my heart racing, touch all my dreams ,
Work all my wishes, rip all those seams.
Hold me near.
Have no fear.
Feel me here.
Master your rhythm, move with my groove,
Ravish these instruments, these love tools so smooth.
Poke this fire burning inside, let it all grow,
Raging passions promising a satisfying glow.
Give yourself over to absolute pleasure,
Whisper sweet words to treasure forever.
Discovering dimensions with words so few,
Relishing your words with I love you.
Hopeful Wonders Searching for stars gleaming in the sky,
Reaching far off places higher than high.
Hold this thought, eyes shut mind new,
Love, warmth and truth they bring to you.
Twinkling away in that black, satin sight,
Mind at ease with nature’s plight.
They serve you, teach you, command and more,
So many stepping-stones to that heavenly door.
Eyes open wide, deep breaths, all this is yours,
Remembering all those future doors,
Will in turn keep your spirit free, inner soul pure,
The power of this peace, it holds lust, so much allure.
Feel it, be it, keep yourself true,
Life and its passions awaiting you.
Destiny will choose the right star in time,
This star will no less, be bursting with shine.
Never let go of your dreams.
Morning LightReflections of the love that used to be,
Images, crazy images yes, you and me.
Laughing to yourself, them good old days so great,
Aching and breaking and twisting, too late.
Time for no other, jeez, opportunities and wonders missed,
No place, no love, fears, tears, get pissed.
Fly free like that bird, without no care, got no worm,
You wake early, routine burly, sit and think, you squirm.
Move on, move on, time heal, heal in time,
Bet you money, make you rich, make him mine.
Boo! Wake up fool! This morning beautiful gift from God.
Count yourself, respect yourself, forget yourself, this hold.
Repeat after me, come on, you’ll see,
Repeat, repeat, let no defeat, defeat me.
Here you are, for you are here,
Confused? Wake up! Now where’s that fear?
