Delusion is my WorldWhy does delusion seem to be the only reality I know?
Almost never catching myself when my mind starts to go
Is delusion my real reality though?
Snapping in & out of this dimension
Which I should mention,
Is beyond my comprehension of an
Intervention for redemption or reinvention
What's your intention?
My soul can't take anymore pain...
I don't get what you...

A Wilderness of MirrorsI stepped into a forest where every tree reflected me,
but none with the same expression.
One wept. One smiled. One looked away.
I asked them, Which one am I?
They shattered into a thousand answers.
The ground was glass. I fell upwards.
Gravity obeyed my uncertainty.
My shadow walked ahead, not behind—
impatient, perhaps, to leave me behind.
A voice whispered...

A Heart Of Desire
Illuminated in blissful triumph divine harmony inspires a dream...
Soothing liberation paints it's way
to glorious rythmin in a loving scene
Exalted upon a divine mountaint
Euphoria in showering beams
A light of hope resonates translucent
In a pleadge of sacrifice at once redeemed
For sacred seeds of earth reveal
A wistful promise as the sun reveals
Another day of radiant light
Lost...

A soul past midnight
Is lost to the waking world
In a land of eternal dreams
A wasteland of bones n broken souls
Beyond the point of no escape
A world past midnight
A twilight time of the last hour
A land infinite and in between
The moments of revelation
Reality, as souls pass midnight
A new realm, unknown, n unseen...

What beautiful decay
As sunlight paints all in gold
A cresting wave
Along a distant bay
Gulls cry high into a clear sky
Its tyrannical son burns all away.
Summer has come
What beautiful decay
As evening dies on horizons blade
A splash of crimson
Deep in forgotten May
Amber n indigo lay lazy on the shores
Autumn lingers behind the day
What beautiful decay
A chill frosts...

Moon sculpture Soon, I will journey to the middle of the moon,
There, I will proudly place a memento with flair,
Fine sculpture shaped for reduced-gravity design,
One like proud Lady Liberty, facing the sun.
Like a bright beacon blazing in starkness, a spike,
Soaring melodies of beauty gently pouring,
From a breath of fresh air deaf to bees’ noisy hum,
Bold, elegant masterpiece...

TimeTime
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire
The eminance and authority of time.
GOD is time ..
One day is a thousand year's to GOD
One thousand year's is one day to GOD.
In HIS time
By HIS time
On HIS time
We spend time
We get free time
We have good time
During our darkest times ...
Sun still shines.
Do not waste time looking on past regrets
This is negative energy and...

I am I say
I am the sunrise
the spark of creation
the breath of nature
the whisper of twilight
the rustling of leaves
the touch of rainfall
the drums of thunder
the colour of rainbows
the kiss of moonbeams
the spring of compassion
the voice of love

Morning Bliss
Soft serenade in a sanctuary of velvet dream
Lovely hues in luminesce blooms dance a meloncholy breeze
Dreamy and surreal
A sanctuary of dewdrops
Slide down a bent branch to redeem
Tranquil turquoise touch rich amber
Leading to a garden grove
Posies sway in an orchestrated ballad
As two bluebirds flutter and float
[]
Young one full of dreams
eyes wide with...

A Beautiful Love StoryA Beautiful Love Story
I wrote a composition on the day I found your love
Mystified by your beauty my snow-white angel dove
I sat at my piano and softly touched each key
And began to sing a song, a song of you and me
I need to tell you once again you fulfill my every need
You bring me light...

Haven't You NoticedHaven’t you noticed sometimes that it goes
As if not with yourself, but with somebody else
Whom you never desired to know, but who knows
Something about your state of health
I've no clue how it happens, but it seems unreal
That I’m not the same anymore
It is more than surprise, that I have to feel
A stranger, whom I cannot...

I dreamed I was drinking with Toulouse-LautrecI dreamed I was in Café Terrace with Toulouse-Lautrec.
We were downing glass after glass of orange triple sec.
And quite drunk, he muttered something that shocked me so ~
he intimated he'd eaten the ear of Vincent van Gogh!
And then I was startled awake ~
with my bloody sunflower bed sheet wrung around my neck.

Time Delirium
the minutes linger
the hours gallop by
time starts slow then disappears
when i try to unwind
its fluctuations drive me crazy
without rhyme or reason why
it makes no sense at all
time wreaks havoc in my mind

Picking At Scabs
A musky, burnt haze sears slowly into my nostrils.
The twilight hour pulses steadily, bathing stark walls in an eerie gloom.
Too awake to drift to sleep, yet too tired to drag my bones off this sinking mattress.
Thoughts cyclone like a tsunami within a withdrawn mind,
picking at scabs; the...

The Book of SoulsIn the beginning as it was on Earth,
there's a gentle mood played
in Iron Maiden's music...
before the shock of reality hits
us in the face and it's time to admit:
Everyone has demons to face,
dark places in both mind and soul
that we would love to erase.
Bury them with the kings of old
whose stories and legends have...
