Long lost plains of hope

I spent years
Trekking but seldom
Have I felt anything change
I walked through
Forgotten anguish
Ignoring my rising pain
I flew up into the sky
My fears they died alone
I tried hard, I did try
To survive on my own
Deal with my rising fears
Searching for
Long lost plains of hope
My trauma it plays with me
Hide and seek through the doors
Searching for a true release
As I trek further and further
What a wanderer I have become
Guiding my inner war to vanquish
My inner demons, they will be gone
My soul has felt them
The souls that surround it
The little song of revival
Oh my dear it has begun
At least to me it did as well
The ghosts of my past still are here
Playing with me hide and seek
Playing with me to revive my fears
Yet they console me when I'm alone
Which is almost all the time
Grey is the colour that paints
My life
For nothing is clear cut
Nothing's ever black and white
Oh please my dear friends
Take a step back tonight
For the show has just started
And my war's coming to an end
I might have ended suiciding
If it weren't for my friends
I walked through barren lands
They called out to me
Told me where I should go
If I wish to become free
Where I would find them
Long lost plains of hope
Where I would reside then
In the end of it all
Where I would finally find peace
Find a final true release
For the traumas that haunt my souls
For the demons within me
And they will fly into the sky
They will find their final place
In the long lost plains of hope
I will cast one final gaze
Before I rest my eyes

Blue moon

  Blue moon floating in the Sky as the horizon lights Up beyond the sight of Plebeian blind folk gazing Only at their matters that Which in the grand scheme Of things matters not In the eyes of a child Born within those years You'll be hardpressed to find Defined within them anything more Than fear Clubs and swords are used to wage War upon those they deem Unrighteous or villainous to the code In which they believe Live or die is deemed worthy By those who hold the sword The club is used to break the bones Of those whom they dictate should not Under darkened skies does the red moon rise When the sun gazes away from our designs The worst of the monsters within us climb Up to the peak of our souls they Seek to claim us whole Those of us who are lost To them are the worst among us all Fight or flight take risks or Play safe never one true thought Answers found when steps are Taken from within the resolve Find me flying near the blue moon every Night it shows Find you staring at your w...

Two hundred lines of dry ink and broken dreams

I write not for people I write so that the thoughts within my head Do not develop into evil Things that I will soon come to regret I write for myself I write so that my soul has an outlet I started a journey, during which I wrote Oh so many poems for me If they were to describe my story Then each is a line of dry ink and broken dreams I am not content with he who I am Who am I is a question I often ask Wondering, pondering poking and prodding Questioning the very nature of my fabric When spoken to I'm often idly nodding For my attention is often empty and barren I am living within the infinite versions of the past self I am alive within the world in which I've created in my mind It is a shelter from all that which attempts to delve Deeper than I am ready to share that night Two hundred lines of dry ink and broken dreams Two hundred lines, scattered across them all Is the rawest, purest form of the vessel that is me What is the soul, does it exist? Do I exist? Am I free to live ...

Regent cold and calculated

Today is the fifth week from the darkest night The king remains bed-ridden I must attend to more and more Of matters for which I care not But my king's orders are to be followed He knows best after all I follow him best I can To know, to learn For one day I will lead these people too His son is long-gone, and no heir apparent remains He claims his son will return But I know that's just an old man's hopeful tale The king's wise, calm and secure But he calculates oh so poor It's why I'm here For every time he steps into the streets Someone could make an attempt on his life So I ensure the streets are clear I ensure his safety's paramount always And yet sometimes he evades my gaze He sneaks out and is always safe I will never understand the gift this man possesses... For a man to walk among the commonfolk unabashed and unafraid He possesses true courage, or foolishness But my king's no fool Today is the seventeenth week from the darkest night The king's...
