Enjoy writing and taking photos.
Fiery skies late at dawn
echo warnings of thunder.
Awoken by ruthless storms
which makes my mind plunder
into itself.
Followed by gentle breezes
as though they weren't there.
Dangerous voices, "please
it is so very rude to stare
at yourself."

Tornadoes swirling in centres of each storm.
Vicious winds howling and no place ever warm.
Chills everlasting are happening over again,
clouds in formation begin bleeding with rain.
A melting in the sky
turns into a spark.
You wish upon a star
to wipe away the dark.

Numbness creeping like a frozen sea
as vacant minds stare hypnotically
Waves of shock and disbelief reside
echoing of life thatd once abide
Hollow feelings and hearts of stone
as fortresses where shadows known
hide in denials cloak taking its toll
shattering façades of fragilitys wall

Too many are dying
and the world wants to run
Away from the bullets
and away from the bombs
That start to explode
their guns too, reload;

they’ll show no mercy to you...

What happened to the boy in the picture by my window?
What happened to the boy that I used to know?
His laughs have passed
His smiles have gone
Good times have vanished
And the pain has come

Overcome by insecurity
Walls close in, time counts down
For him to make a change
And be happy

Truth speaks, never boasts.
Knows the cost of ghosts.
Nothing to shake her course
riding storms without remorse.

In need of no crowns of gold.
Her worth is in all stories told.
Every wall she can pierce through
with a force that's forever true...

From the abyss, Leviathans, luminescent and grand.
Their tremors shake Earth's core and echo into the land.
The tide hisses in a language which only the storm knows
As ancient beings surface while the wild wind blows.

Teardrops fell and froze trapping me in ice of sadness
The once blooming rose now withers from the madness
No signs it'll thaw making everything feel breathless
Can't fight or claw with no way to not feel helpless...

Inside cracked mirrors, the past hangs on tight,
Faded photographs are bleached each day and night.
Air hums in silence and nobody can quite see
The future that awaits like some uncertain mystery...

A hurricane was yet to come
And to put my mind at rest...
That maybe if I was just gone
I would finally be blessed
By your presence.
Then way up there smiling faces
Had brought to life a light.
Somewhere in these dark places
My path was lit up bright
With acceptance.
