A madman in these streets


My clothes are tattered; my tongue dry
I walk the street; I roam the nights; I talk myself to sleep
I kiss the dirt; I dine with the swine
My journey never ends; my story ever unfolding

I’m a madman in these streets, a man without a name
A soldier without a home fighting for an invisible cause 
I stalk the flies; I clap my hands hoping to catch the skies
I dance to the winds; I love this melody

I gaze the noon sun; my eyes burn but I am not bothered
I have no shoes, no comfort, no shelter just a beating heart 
My home is on the road, the moon my pillow
The nights chilly breeze my blanket, I feel the cold within

The world thinks me a nut case, a mad man
Without a shred of dignity; without a penny to my name 
My make believe valuables laid bare for the world to see
My back scorched by the itching laughter of passing children

Don’t judge me before you hear my story; before you live my life
You only see a mad man; but I see a desperate man in the mirror
A man trying to find his feet, battling the elements
Trying to find a reason not to give up; trying to make it in life

I'm mad to all who can’t sync with to my wave
I'm mad to all who don’t feel the love in my heart
I'm mad to all who can’t hear the music in my ear
I'm mad to all who don’t share my dream

I may be a madman today; a madman in this strange lands
A madman willing to dive into the filth; without an iota of dignity
A madman desperate to survive, struggling to understand the whistling sounds
I may be a madman in these streets but am a madman with an ambition

No doubt I’m filthy today; tomorrow I will sparkle with shinning smiles 
I see a sane tomorrow; I see a future with open arms and warm hugs
I see a tomorrow where my insanity is embraced by all
I see the world waking to my dreams; I see a sane tomorrow

Remember

The leaves wilt Soon the season will tilt The world will cease to a halt A new beginning glim in sight The past shakes In the distance, yesterday fades Slowing dying in noon’s shade Disappearing into the distance cascade We match forward Ne're turning around, only onward But my minds eye doesn't fail I recall every detail From hello to adios Through hug to lies From kiss to kicks Warm hands to cold pecks We watched the sun set on the horizon Too bad I allowed it to set on our belonging Without an anchor we drifted into comparison And lost all sense of loving I'm not asking for a third chance Neither am I asking for another dance True I dreaming of an awakening glace But I only ask, you remember the opening fence

Black hole

Why does it hurt so much? Why does every waking moment feel like an endless torture  The deafening screams of my heart is silent to all  None hears me, none connects with me, none feels me    I try to hold a smile but it’s a mirage, blanketing my sorrow  I try to hold myself, but I’m hollow  I see laughter all around me, but none with me  Eyes stare but only through me    They say there is light at the end of a tunnel  This is no tunnel I am falling, I keep falling, deep into the abyss I keep falling  Into a black hole    I feel the weight of every tic, every toc  My eyes are dried out, every tear drop burns  My hopes dashed, my dreams, a waking nightmare  The canvas of my life is blackened out   My hands are stretched out Screaming for someone to reach out, anyone?  Praying to the endless, crying to be pulled from this quicksand  But my prayers are unheard and I’m hanging by a thread       MannyUchiha

Thank you Mum, I Iove you

She says I was gifted from heaven An answer to a prayer; a blessing from the most high That drew a smile, got her singing like she was high Made her dance from dawn till dawn But she couldn’t be more wrong   For I am the one who struck a pot of gold To have you gifted to me, born to you To experience the essence of your immortalised love From where do I begin, which memory do I recall first? Which hug do I ping as the warmest? The motivation, the support, the love, OMG the food I couldn’t list all even if I had an ocean of ink I remember the sacrifices you made for me Ensuring I never went to bed hungry Stayed by my side when I was unwell, pampered me like a prince And kissed me good night when I drifted into dreams I’m sorry for the hell I rained on you   I thought you were nag bug, a leech to my peace, scolded me because you could I didn’t get it then; wish I did but now I do and I'm glad you did I know you forgave, you forgot but I haven’t, I’m sorry
