When will she walk into my life
Will I know she'll be my wife
The door is open for her now
Awaiting the one I'll share a special vow

I dream of the day that we meet
Filling the feeling of being incomplete
She is a gorgeous diamond, shining
A smile ever so admiring

A sparkling star of my dreams
May not be today but someday it seems
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
Have you noticed
Everything that goes by
It all goes so fast
Soon enough we all say "Goodbye"

Time just slips away
Moments just disappear
Barely remember day by day
Back in time we try to peer

The sounds of time
So loud yet unheard
The tick tocking rhyme
Like the whistles of a bird

As fast as days go
Take in all the little things
Enjoy everything as you grow
For time forever shall sing
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
A spark is all you need
To create the infinity
Shannon Jeffery Aug 2014
No more shall I
Weigh down anyone
I will show you
How strong I've become

I've got two hands
And two feet
I've got a brain
And my own heart beat

I'll show the world
Who I am
So you better look out
Cause I've got a plan
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
Strewn across a vibrant night
Twinkling impressions just in sight
Artistic lights we embrace
R**each around outerspace

Here is my story
of meeting you, a glory.

The day we first met
a day I shall regret
don't read that wrong
for you I truly long
I regret not taking a chance
being so scared at first glance

When my eyes rested upon you
I truly did not have a clue
I was a lost soul, living day by day
I would let every day pass away
there was nothing for me here in life
I truly could have just picked up knife.

We met down the beach
but my heart was still out of reach
I looked in your eyes, Click
it was like I no longer feel sick
I wasn't sick though, I did not understand
but for once in my life I felt grand.

Even with this great feeling
The lock on my heart is still rusted
but I could feel the lock peeling
it still could not be busted
we floated and talked
once you left this lock exploded

Now I became annoyed
my heart was ready to be deployed
"Why", I kept asking myself this
Had no confidence, and now you I miss.
who was this Angel who opened me
I knew your name, you were my key.

I was lost in thought
My heart and head now fought
For days I hated
I laid and waited.
But found nothing I did
so instead deep down I hid

Now it had been awhile
I kept wondering if it was some kind of trial
all I could think was maybe I failed
once again falling deep I felt derailed
but by chance
I see you advance

my heart races, pounding
my head started clouding
This time I'll say something
but out comes absolutely nothing
only some small talk
and on you walk

I could see you were interested
but my lips just would not spread
the next day you were gone
I walk I to work that morn, torn
a colleague tells me about an envelope
my heart rose, up comes my hope.

A long beautiful letter
now I feel a whole lot better
as my heart flies, we talk and talk
now my dreams you stalk.
the woman of my dreams you are
the gorgeous shining star

you have opened my heart
and that is just the start
you have opened my soul
and made me feel whole

thank you with all my heart and soul
I miss you and love you, my heart you stole

I met a little boy
Who seemed a little strange
He was sitting in a corner
Just drawing away
He took a look at me
And laughed
"What a sight to see"

I asked him what's so funny
He looked at me again
And had one more laugh
That's when he said

I already know you
You're in my book
And all you can do
Is take a little look

I was ready for a laugh
Oh but a laugh was not in sight
I checked over it once, I checked over it twice
Oh no no, this cannot be right

I spin around, my world has changed
An echo screams "You're cursed, You're cursed"
Freaked out I run for the nearest cover, the echo again
"Too late, too late, this floor your blood shall stain"

I have nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Stuck in his book
Just waiting to die
Well something to end my block Hehe

I may write this as a series, I don't know yet depends if I can get the second one started right :)
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
Stressed out to the max
Head uncontrollably whirring
My patience being taxed
My stomach is stirring

Blood rushing, veins bulge
Muscles tensed, tearing apart
In this instability I do not indulge
This madness, lost in dark thought

I need to be alone
Prevent any harm
Lay like a cold stone
To return to calm
Stressed night at work -.- just venting
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
I have lost who I am
Or was I just never found
I don't know when this began
Where do I start? Feeling drowned

I subconsciously blend
I'm a natural chameleon
My emotions and thoughts bend
I feel like an alien

Whomever I stand by
Is who I become
I could breakdown and cry
All these influences, like gum

I'm deep down somewhere
Just no clue where to begin
I need a white light to appear
Or forever my world will spin
Lost for who I am. So hard to explain.
Shannon Jeffery Jan 2015
As I float across the cosmos
Pleasantly with ease
Upon my face with a gentle kiss
From a summers breeze

Laying on the warm sand
In which gently I settle my feet
As waves wash over me
Where land and water meet

A vibrant paradise
Of silent bliss
A moment I
Would never miss
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Silhouettes begin to brighten
Under a resplendent sun upon the horizon
Nimble light dances across crystal oceans
Rendering sparkles upon the peaks
Illumination of vibrant skies
Serenading over silvery steeps
E**nding with scenery of beautiful hues
Shannon Jeffery Feb 2015
Golden glow
On the horizon
Harmonious songs
Sung on the wind

Cool breeze
Flowing calmly
As darkness
Turns to light
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Slowly drifting
Under the horizon
Now inviting, a
Sleeping sun
Entering delight, a
T**ranquil night

Turned to self incision,
Escape from tainting vision

Tantalizing our
Every
Moment.
Probing and
Twisting our minds
Away.
Tampering with our senses.
Inception, entering
Our brains and
Noxiously reprograms

Thank you dear Lord
for what you have given
I do not know what allowed me this reward
But now I have been granted vision

You have given me the chance
to meet an angel of great faith
I was in a downward spiralling trance
now I enjoy every beat and every last breath

I pray that you take great care
of your angel on the path she may follow
To find someone so empowering, so rare
guide her through, for with her there is a better tomorrow.

To the beautiful angel of my light
thank you for waking me
you have given me greater sight
I see a greater perspective, I'm free

In return for what you gave and I receive
I will be there for you in your time of need
any pain I'll do my best to relieve
just tell me when for your heart I can't read

I thank you dear angel
my heart and soul shall protect
at its very best, no matter how painful
for you I have immense respect
You cured my heart and soul. thank you this is the least I can do. <3

I'd like to just say a thank you to a lot of people on HP

You've all made me feel so welcome, I never really thought I could write well but I still did because it was from my heart, but I have gotten some incredible feedback.

You are all amazing, such talented writers and it is such a pleasure to read your work let alone have you comment on mine. So once again a massive thank you to all at HP :)

Life,
Something not many know.
Maybe not even I,
But begin to see I do
With waking eyes.

I once believed
Life owed us the world.
Instead,
I now realize
That we owe life,
More than we can pay.

We should embrace,
With open arms.
Take it from
In front of our face
With a confident smile.

We owe life this,
For it gave us a chance
To live just once.
Don't let it escape
Don't let go
Grip your chance
Tight in both hands
Shannon Jeffery Aug 2014
Why do I continue
Allowing them to use me
Why do I smile
Through this wretched agony

They sit back and watch
As I do what they need
They sit back and laugh
As I break down and bleed

But I still insist
On helping the needy
But still I'm blind
To those who are greedy

I live off my kindness
And yet I'm breaking
To them I just a target
An advantage for the taking

The only home from the pain
Is when my ink hits the paper
Without this relief I'd go insane
Sometimes I wish I was just a vapor
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2015
"Life is just a game"
Something we've all heard
Some take with excitement
Others think it's absurd

But think for just a moment
One moment is all
What if life is the player
And we're its game, here on call

We fight to the death
With no purpose or cause
Life lasts forever
We have no button to pause

No revives
No return
No extra lives
Just time to burn

Bound by mortal chains
To world where we bend
Maybe I'm crazy
But it's lifes choice in the end
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
The time is right
Its time to fight

You tell me to hop away like a little bunny
You don't want me to wait, you think I will hurt
I'm so sorry but I just won't give up honey
I will fight for you untill I'm buried in the dirt.

I won't hop away, I'm an eagle
I will jet up, flying up high
You're the paint for my easel
Up so high soaring across the sky

I've made my goal, from which I won't stray
I will hunt as I fly high, you won't get away
My heart has chosen you, forever my prey
Forever my love you will always stay
Shannon Jeffery Sep 2014
Heart and mind
So well intertwined
But sometimes world's apart
We all know how it starts

The tango of two
you just have no clue
What do you do
During this feud

Spinning and whirling around
They turn to you, their crowned
Your the master of the choice
The one with a mighty voice
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
Time, what is time
time is a measurement
  a measurement to restrict.
We live within time
time controls our daily life
  we fight against the clock.
Time is a human creation
free yourself of human chains
  and learn to live as one.
Only then will one truly understand.
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
Tempered moments creating
Intricate layers
Manufactured gears rotating
Effortless chaos
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
These days I have more flashbacks
Than I do reality
I wish the past would just sit back
And leave this poor boy be

But the past it holds more flavor
Than a stick of chewing gum
When it comes to what I savor
Babe your still the one

All I dream is you and me
Heart struck that youre gone
Forever my love I hoped you see
You are my transcendent song

The places we used to visit
A time when our hearts flourished
When the skies were our only limit
Beautiful times we cherished

Never knowing where we will end
Just a bunch of mysteries
For time to us we thought would bend
And now I have just memories

But as they say all things come to an end
And come to an end they must
For what we once held together
Are now ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Thank you to Mike for this amazing collab experience :)
Shannon Jeffery Oct 2014
Stuck in moments of pain and grief
Getting by only through gritting teeth
Smiling through river eyes
Hoping for a journey set for the skies

I know these moments shall pass
Likely slow but hoping fast
Though there's pain time shall heal
As long as my soul it does not steal
Shannon Jeffery Aug 2014
To be what they want
Is to win a battle
To be who you are
Is to win a war
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
Today my day
it was quite bad
Today my day
I felt quite sad.

I woke with a thump, my foot on the floor
lifting my head, smack there's the door
creeping and sliding, droop down the stairs
today is a day that will stick up my hairs.

I say good morning feeling all blue
yet some sadness lifts thinking of you
I have awoken just a little bit
but today I truly felt unfit.

you reply with good morning
the smile you bring to my face, astounding
the rest of the day moves at a slow pace
this morning is weird I feel out of place.

finally, the days end comes to near
today a day im glad will clear
ding, my phone its you I hear
you say hello, why thank you my dear

I think of many things of you
but when it comes to talking
my thoughts become askew
my brain just goes on walking

still thank you beautiful
you made my day wonderful
as crazy as it seems
sleep tight, sweet dreams

Gusts of wind
Torrential cyclones
Tearing down your will
Whirring gales pushing me away

Be ******
I will
To allow the storm
To succeed

I will break through
These storms carrying you
No matter how hard you deny me
I'll clear your bad weather if it brings me to my knees

I will enter the eye
Of your storm
Expelling the darkness
No matter the ending, I'll try

Just remember
I'm here
Forever
My dear
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
Beginning to lose faith
total loss of breath
Humankind begins to disgust
total loss of trust
Society tearing apart
total loss of heart
Cursed monsters control
total loss of soul
Too much disgusting behaviour. Animal abuse, destroying forests, war for greed and power. Too much to name.
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Tantalized by seductive
Offerings. Her
X-ray vision leers deep
Into my soul. She
C**onsumes my mind
Shannon Jeffery Feb 2015
A stench so foul
Haunts these grounds
Follow your nose
Silence is the only sound
Shannon Jeffery Jul 2014
I've decided to go on a holiday
Take a trip not so far away
I hike across the paper grass
An ink lake I almost pass

I dive right on in
Now ink stained veins
I travel across vast mountains
Trailing behind an ink river

Forming the ups and downs
The rolls and spins around
Dizzy I fall upon wet grounds
Tweeting of a pen birds sound

This is where you'll find me
Upon an ink stained paper grass sea
Shannon Jeffery Feb 2015
Stuck down a hole
Wanting out of hell
Life throws a rope
To escape where you dwell

You take this chance
But you don't realize
Lost in a trance
Life's just full of lies

Climbing high
Only to see below
The rope you've climbed
Burning slow

You look above
To see how far you've come
The rope bearing thin
It's all ready to come undone

Life lit the end
And scarred the top
It'll laugh at you
Never to stop

One last thing
Life did say
Thanks for the fun
Let's play another day


*SNAP

Your gazing smile
Sharp as the blade
Behind your back

Temple of my heart
Reaching for a hand
United with another
Slowly ripped apart
Torn in pieces forever
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2016
It's that time again
A war being waged
Between heart and mind
Upon the broken stage

Shattered reflections
Know how to dine
If only fate
Hadn't been signed

Then maybe
Just maybe
You could
Have been mine
Shannon Jeffery Jan 2015
Sometimes poetry unravels
From my mind
Like your glowing eyes
Radiating through my heart

But sometimes it hides away
In the eerie darkness
Like you encasing your heart
In the depths of sorrows
Shannon Jeffery Dec 2014
There once
Was a dog
Named Benji

He'd never
Run out
Of energy

Until this one day
He found a friend to play
What could I say
He's a skunk named Trey

Now these two
Had so
Much fun

Together
They'd
Run and run

Until Trey let one rip
Poor Benji took a slip
Down Benji went for a kip
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
What has come of me?
Everything is changing.
What shall be?
Life rearranging

My heart on a mountain range
My mind racing the speedway
Never felt so strange
Everything changing day by day

Do I have a passion?
Or am I just lost
In life's transaction.
Has everything been tossed?

Nothing makes sense
Not anymore,
Everything intense
Where is my call?

Where shall this end?
One day I'll know.
For now these wounds I tend,
One day I shall go.

But until then
I'll do what I can.
I will not bend
I shall ascend
Questions questions...
Shannon Jeffery Jan 2015
I didn't realise these demons existed
An infectious glaze inside my head
Black holes whirling, my mind twisted
Who am i with a heart coated in lead

Do I deceive myself
Have I lied my way through
My soul torn out and sat upon a shelf
In my reflection, all I can say is
"Who the **** are you"
**** just shoot me
Shannon Jeffery May 2014
Her eyes are my rainbow bridge to paradise
She smiles and the whole night sky glows
Engulfed by her gaze, my heart skips twice
Her beauty graciously flows

She is my sunrise
Lighting up my dull skies
She is my sunset
Painted my soul the first time we met

She layers my heart with petals of a rose
Covering the thorn carved wounds
Down my face a stream flows
An untouchable enchantress glides on the winds
Shannon Jeffery Apr 2014
You ask me who I am
My answer to you is simple
I am a special type of clown
But not one full of fun and whistles

I can juggle like a normal clown
I juggle my thoughts a feelings
My giant smile is a little upside down
No laughter for me just high pitch squealings

You ask me about my nose
"If you"re a clown why isn't it big"
I answer "oh but it is you just don't see it"
Jammed in others business it does dig

I also make people laugh
Not from a funny joke
But from my great failure
Because I am a joke

I'll do the good ole clown trick
I'll jam myself into something so small
Even though I am super tall
At least I'll be able to hide from it all

I am an upside down clown
It's what I do best
Now to move from this town
Onto the next
Shannon Jeffery Mar 2014
I sit upon a risen bank
with golden white grains below
in between my toes it flows
a soft singing breeze does blow

I gaze upon the stars so high
like fairy dust in the sky
the beauty of a moonlit night
a vibrant night, just Paradise
Thought I'd try something different :) hope you all like it

Mankind
A virus
Filling the world
With creations
Of destruction

She's a hand grenade
With no pin
Ready to erupt

I float
On the winds
Of time

Waiting
On a purpose
For me
To find
Feeling pretty melancholy about life. Dunno what to think or even write at this moment.

Breaks or builds you

Your choice
