I'm standing on a precipice,
Staring leaning over a cliff,
Smell the soil between my toes
And feel the salt invade my nose.
Hear the gulls above and below
And bide my time until I know,
Which way the sands of time will drift
And whether my spirit will sink or lift.

Like a flower in the sun
I stand tall in your company

I thought of you and wrote a song,
Problem is words came out wrong.
Didn't say what I want to say
And so you wouldn't stay today,
If I get my words right from the start
Then I think I'll steal your heart.

Our children are the guiding lights of our future,

Let them shine.

One day the smallest spark

Might be enough to light up the world.

Speak to me with kindness

For within the silken melody of your words I find joy.

Look upon me with the love

With which I have always known from you.

Let me breathe in the smell of you for it reminds me

Of summer days and sunlight rays upon my skin.

Hold my hand for our bond is strong

And comfort is mine when you are near.

Let us never talk of sorrow or loss

Because only without you

Can life ever lose its gloss for me.

Poetry, words in me
I feel the need to set them free.
And now at last I plainly see
That poetry is deep in me.

A beautiful land destroyed by hate,
Was ripped apart by the hand of fate.
Many losses each side were felt,
Hearts turned to stone can never melt.

And families that were torn apart,
Were forced to make a brand new start.
While demon snakes wore human skin,
To hide their evil hearts within.

Youth never was a match for age,
When used as fuel for deadly rage.
The bitter pill that seemed so sweet,
Was wrapped up, coated in deceit.

The trail of carnage left behind,
Can never be erased from mind.
Prayers are said to bury the dead,
In land once green now turned to red.
