The Sunstone City

This page is dedicated to Poetry I have written over the years.  Some are good, some are bad and some are just strange.  Enjoy!

———–

 

Gone

 

Heart in your sleeve,

Tear in your eye,

Your love flown away,

How you wish you could die.

 

Fire in your heart,

Words on your page,

Silence is deadly,

Your voice in a cage.

 

Your life was easy,

Until love came along,

Cheerfully humming,

A simple song.

 

But then you grew up,

And shattered your dreams,

Your perfect life,

Is not what it seems.

 

Searching forever,

The guidance you need,

But until it is over,

You continue to bleed.

 

Try to forget,

The horrors within,

And I’ll be there soon,

To bury your sin.

 

Take me away

 

Sun dipped fingertips,

Shining like the sky,

Darkness taking over,

How I really want to die.

 

Sharp mind, bright eyes,

Shining like the sun,

I know it can’t be over,

‘Cause it’s only just begun.

 

Cry a river, sad heart,

Deeper than the sea,

I don’t want to be noticed,

Please stay away from me.

 

Flown away, forever gone,

Farther than the moon,

Please don’t try to find me,

‘Cause I’ll be back home soon.

 

Written words

 

Written words,

But never spoken,

How many times,

Has your heart been broken?

Why don’t you tell,

The world what you feel?

Why do you hide it,

To keep and conceal?

Why do you hide,

Ever single emotion?

Is letting it go,

Too big of a notion?

 

Alone

 

Not together yet not apart,

Tiny pieces of my broken heart.

So long ago, so far away,

Tell me how to get through the day.

 

So very happy, yet so sad,

So irritating it makes me mad.

So in love, yet so alone,

The saddest love I’ve ever known.

 

A Poem for the Seasons

 

When heavens stars light up my scars

And the earth is glowing blue,

I’ll be reminded of that night

And write a poem for you.

 

On sunny days the sun will blaze

And winters never here,

But my heart grows cold without you to hold

And you are never near.

 

In rainy hours of drenching showers

My skin in soaking wet,

Something deep inside of me

Makes sure I won’t forget.

 

On windy weeks with flowing creeks

Wise become my eye,

And a thousand lonely sighs will change

Into a thousand lies.

 

What love becomes

 

When love becomes what lovers seek

And time becomes the power,

I’ll search for you to keep me warm,

And miss you every hour.

 

When love becomes too hard to bare

And weak becomes my heart,

You know I’ve waited far too long

And still we are apart.

 

When love becomes a shadow

Underneath my sorry eyes,

And light disperses rapidly

And I resort to lies,

 

You know you’ll be my only love

No other had my heart,

So  I’ll search for you in heaven

And we’ll no longer be apart.

 

Goodbye

 

Few and far between,

I’ve heard but have not been.

Tired, but always true,

There’s not much I can do.

 

Forever signed and sworn,

But forgotten, lost and torn.

No stranger to this pain,

But it won’t hurt again.

 

The words on the back of my broken heart

Know just how long we’ve been apart.

So long that I can’t honestly find

A single piece of you in my mind.

 

The End

 

Put your soul on paper

For the world to come and see,

Don’t hide it in a hole

That’s deeper than the sea.

 

Happiness is not so far

But hope is far away,

The price for this to work

Is more than I can pay.

 

Let’s put this tattered love to rest

And hide it in a jar,

And bury it away from here

So very very far.

 

Fires

 

Single fires burning out,

Away from me and from my shout

Wings are flapping, ready to go,

But not right now, the wind is slow

 

The smell of you, hangs in the air,

And love right, I cannot bare

I need to run, or stand and fight,

But neither one seems wrong or right

 

Whatever I do, wherever I go,

Something’s changed and that I know

If I speak some sense, then I may be fine,

And one day peace will soon be mine.

 

Tomorrow

 

Tomorrow has no limits,

Tomorrow is undefined,

Tomorrow is unclear,

Yet tomorrow is not blind.

 

Tomorrow is the future,

And the future never lies,

Because tomorrow is re-invented,

Every time tomorrow dies.

 

Tomorrow holds the secrets,

Of our lives and future things,

Tomorrow never comes,

And yet tomorrow always sings.

 

Tomorrow runs away,

Like tomorrow always will,

And tomorrow’s secrets kept,

And forever never spill.

 

Looking

 

Listening to this track play

It means I’ve loved before,

But never since his dark brown eyes

Went walking out my door.

 

So for me to look for someone new

Is harder than I thought,

But I cannot dwell upon the past

And I’m not the crying sort.

 

Help

 

Lord please mend my broken heart

Please sow it back together,

And we’ll no longer be apart

Please keep me now forever.

 

Lord please let my sad eyes see

A bright and sunny day,

And happy will I gladly be

When everything’s okay.

 

Lord please let these two hands rest

From holding myself in,

And save me from a greater test

And keep me far from sin.

 

Lord please keep my feet from flight

Please draw me close to you,

And glitter all my starts by night

And paint my day bright blue.

 

Drunk

 

Bright eyes

Fireflies

Little secrets

White lies

 

Red hands

Big demands

Slow stutter

Elastic bands

 

Blue glass

Green grass

Broken bottle

First class

 

Big feet

Salty treat

Small shoes

Dirty sheet

 

Tell me

 

So tell me again, the way that I am?

I am but a girl, not strong like a man.

Not wise like the old, or free like the young,

Not like a song, that’s easily sung.

 

Not like a bird and not like a flame,

Not always guilty, but sometimes to blame.

Not like a story, that has no end,

Not with a heart that cannot mend.

 

Distant lands

 

Distant lands

At my two hands

Soil at my feet

My toes will meet

 

Fly high all day

Lay low by night

It’s love like this

I will not fight

 

You had something

I wanted to know

But the winds have changed

And now I must go

 

Rain will pour

The sun will shine

But his sweet heart

Will not be mine.

 

Not about me

 

Never mind, the tiny line

Beneath your eye, the little shine

 

In between the hearts, a dream

A running river, flowing stream

 

Morning sun above the sky

It has begun, now don’t be shy

 

Always look, but not at me

I’ll never be your enemy

 

Seasons fall, the sea will rise

And loving me will not surprise

 

Never in the break of day

Will I fall down to hear you say:

 

‘The river now will not run dry’,

But you will lose that shiny eye.

  

A Moment Forever

 

I look at you as you pass me,

But I hide my bashful eyes.

For a second things seem different,

On the edge of my demise.

 

For if you’d stop your stride,

And a word should leave your tongue,

Then for you I’d truly die,

And have a whole new world begun.

 

For your eyes are like the moonlight,

But your smile is like the stars,

A moment, but a small eternity,

To bury all my scars.

 

As our second comes to close,

There’s one thing you must know,

For you I felt forever,

But for you I have to go.

 

Stars

 

Silly little stars that fall,

They crash and burn to warn us all,

But warning us is not the kind

Of way to help us change our mind.

For we don’t listen, we don’t care,

We’re more inclined to sit and stare.

Though staring never got us far,

So we’ll try to focus on a star
