THE ULTIMATE POETRY COLLECTION 2002
BOOK TWO
TRAPPED
Imagination harms me when I’m feeling low
And inspires me to reach high
I’m caught between two worlds
Loosing sight of myself
I’m trying to wake up from this nightmarish web
Of deceit, love, loneliness
Whenever I seem to be untangling myself
From these long silver threads
I fall and crash into more
Darker and stronger then before
They squeeze me tight until I’m gasping for air
Press onto my skin until blood drips
My body’s captured and my soul’s enraptured
I can’t get away

SHORT SIGHTED
I can’t see anything far away
My vision is confined to a limited space
I’m hooped in a tiny circle of clarity
All else is a blur
I am short sighted

TOMB
I am alone in this tomb of doom
Air is humid and stale
I suffocate with every breath
Stench remains unbearable
To my delicate senses;
The body of the deceased does lie right before my eyes
Sure to have nightmares tonight
Never do I want to lie
Forever in a place like this
Rather be burnt to a crisp
And have my ashes freed
Then remain underground
Decaying in a light-less hole

LOVE SURVIVES
Oh I’ve tried to deny
But love survives
Yes love survives
Oh I’ve tried to keep my eyes dry
But love survives
Yes love survives
Pain floods through my veins
As love is recognised
I’m feeling low again
Rain is falling
As I stand alone
In the flooded gutters
I shiver as a frosty breeze
Breathes over me
Its touch warm
Compared to the ice
Wrapped around my heart
I weep from the pain
As I feel my heart
Beginning to beat again
Oh I’ve tried to deny
But love survives
Yes love survives
Oh I’ve tried to keep my eyes dry
But love survives
Yes love survives
Pain floods through my veins
As love is recognised
I’m feeling low again
I gaze out at
The starry sky
Empty cloudless space
Taking my face away
From the dirty window
I think how far I am
From the star
That makes my life bright
I sigh as night passes by
I am lost again
Oh I’ve tried to deny
But love survives
Yes love survives
Oh I’ve tried to keep my eyes dry
But love survives
Yes love survives
Pain floods through my veins
As love is recognised
I’m feeling low again
Staring longingly
At an old weathered picture
I feel the same way
As when I first lay
My eyes on you
You make my heart wild
My soul sings
I’m attracted to
No other person
I don’t know what to do
Without you
Oh I’ve tried to deny
But love survives
Yes love survives
Oh I’ve tried to keep my eyes dry
But love survives
Yes love survives
Pain floods through my veins
As love is recognised
I’m feeling low again

HUMAN FREEZER
I feel as though
I’m weighted down
With one-hundred years of pain
I’m feeling older
As each day passes
Insides getting colder
I’m a freezer again

Time’s ticking
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock
Goes the clock
I’m sitting here crying
I’m sitting slowly dying
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock
I’m stricken with grief
Keep glancing over pasts’ shoulder
But I have to move forward
Before my life is over
When I first said the words
I love you
I didn’t know how deep
Until after our incensed goodbye
Parting through evil eyes
When steam had cleared away
I then knew
My heart beat solely for you
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock
Goes the clock
I’m sitting here crying
I’m sitting slowly dying
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock
I’m stricken with grief
Keep glancing over pasts’ shoulder
But I have to move forward
Before my life is over
Years have passed by
You remain the main feature
In my mind
You crawled through my skin
Surfed on my veins
Claimed my heart
As a land of your own
On which you built your throne
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock
Goes the clock
I’m sitting here crying
I’m sitting slowly dying
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock
I’m stricken with grief
Keep glancing over pasts’ shoulder
But I have to move forward
Before my life is over
