not so much

far across that continent

where the plates move

and the earth is bent

i will swoop across the sky today

i will gather speed and fly...

where clouds will part

and the sea, sings her songs

of swirling foam, where

my heart belongs...

of vivid iridescent hues of dusk

and you, my love by me...

where simply by the flowing water and sand

we're free to build our ethereal castles and

at that moment when the lights go low

and the breeze would blush to speak you know

a thousand other thoughts i would give a miss

for your warm arms around me..

for your kiss.

Red Man

I met this young boy who showed me the world

Who told me that life was not grey or white

People would come and people would go

But all that mattered was how cruelly they would fight

He showed me what he dreamed to fulfil

The dedication he had, seemed to work uphill

The dreams he possessed was laced in pain

Every day was a challenge, a lesson to gain

Clear cut in his views he would speak of a time

When together we would live, within reason and rhyme

Where cribbing and bickering was a twist of chance

Where every microcosm was spellbound in a dance

This young boy was generous and jolly and kind

He rested all problems of mankind in his mind

We knew we could all depend on him

His passion was different, flowing over the brim

The only thing that bothers me now

Bearing the brunt of everything around,

Taking care of everything he holds dear

In the end, who WIll take care of him, I fear
