Exotic Eyes

She led them on their way

Like a scarlet woman of the day

She focused them to go on

Even tough they were worn

Tired to the bone

As they followed her lips

Her perfect mouth

Said so many kind words

The shadows of men

Collected around her

Like stray birds

Gathering for all to see

Her unique beauty

While others were afraid to approach

They held themselves back

Like strapped up horses

Filled with thirst

Washing her feet with water from a jar

Exotic excellence she had come from afar

As the haze filled the downward hills

The men steamed up and did grin

Trying to catch her eyes on them

She just played with these

Testosterone muscle pumped men

Flagging a path

On the dusty shallow walk

She knew she had them in her hand

She knew she did not need to talk

As they watched her leave that very day

Somehow wishing they were with her

Travelling with her on a journey of her display  

Artist mind

Rolling his eyes

As colours caught his disguise

He wished that he knew now

What he knew then

But only time would tell

As he sat amongst

The wilted falling flowers

Strangled by over load

He felt their battle

That they have fought

He felt their distraught

He was once like them

Fighting holding on

With his fingers tips

Barely catching all

That was there

He felt his heart burn

Inside his chest cavity

His voice that was once weak

Was now strong and he would speak

He stood in their shadow for long enough

He wanted more from himself

He wanted to shine and be more

Than a empty blanket of some else

He wished for all that he looked on

Was like somewhere that sun shone

His images he painted

On a board of colourless of nothing before

Now it had life so did he

He painted how he felt

He was offering all for those

Who wanted to see

His work in emotion

For all to explore

While other would walk by ignore

Nose in the air

That would soon disappear

He would capture

Their hearts

As soon as that fierce unknown

Would clear

Sitting on the steps

Where it all began

Looking on at the colours

That once covered his disguise

Were emotions so strong

So was warm

He embraced all the loving arms

And well wishes

He had said good bye

To all those old memories

On their tall ships 

Pearls of strive

Standing alone

Holding on to something

That was never known

She held her breath

As she jumped in

Below her dept

Water that always

Seemed shallow

Caught her off guard

Something’s in life

You can disregard

She had held her final card

As she ran to her final post

After passing her light to all

Who waited for her

She gave to others

Like no one before

With nothing left

Only a tiny sparkle of dust

Opening up

Was her curse

Tucked away in her chest

Was a secret purse

Flushing all

That was held within

She had led a life of the past

Knowing she would someday win

Let me free

Set me free

She called out

As she ran the race of her life

Her light it shone out

Happiness once again

Filled her face

Applauding from the stands

Gave her fight and flight

To go that extra mile

Everyone was on their feet

Pushing her all the way

Targeting herself to towards the last lap

She was tired worn out

Feeling like she was about to snap

Not wanting to give in

Like all the times before

She pushed herself

Her feet into the ground

The floor

Passing others out

With the line just in sight

Her heart was beating faster

Than light

Rolling in over the finishing line

She exhaled one last breath

She was exhausted

Worn out feeling full of sweat

She had won she knew

The crowd took to their feet

Holding her in their thoughts

She was a winner that day

For the rest of her life

She remembered pushing herself

To be the best that she could be  

Freedom of the Street

Dancing along the road

To a tune of her own

She knew she was away

In a world of her own

Not minding all that

That was going on

She was to busy

Reaching for the skies

When dust filled her

Shoe ridden feet

She was excited to

Cover them along the street

Feeling free

Feeling the air

On her feet so bare

Nothing to worry

Free and laughter

Oh so rare

As she made her way along

Others soon followed

And listened to her song

Pick yourself up

Don’t be sad

Be happy for what you have

Feel the good

Not the bad

Own yourself

Cover you in love

Look up at the skies

Pull back your curtains

Not heard of

We all many layers

We do not always show them

Make it your day to day

To show all you have got

Do not hide behind closed doors

Do not cover up who you are

Impress yourself and only you

Just be you

As she gathered up a crowd

That believed this was them

They danced to their own song

And knew that they belonged 

Muscle Toned

As she drew his canvass

On her page

She looked him up and down

Drawing in on his muscle toned

Skin that was so fine

So well proportioned so lean

He shadowed his tummy with the light

She noticed something which gave her new eye sight

Looking away shy of him

He looked on amazed by her

As she asked him to turn to the side

Imaging him undressed on the floor

Taking on new life her picture

It did show

His eyes that shone light

Diamonds of the night

His smile that softened

Her heart so wild

As he lifted his robe

Back some more

Then suddenly dropping it to the floor

Eyes in the back of her head

They did go

As he stood there

In all his glory

What happened next

Is another story 

Life in Bubble

As a single tree stood inside

A bubble of water

That would not burst

Feeding it leaves within

A single mountain stood in the background

Mirrored by its own image

Wonders on tightly gripped water

As it filled

Shadows of their own

The mountain top

Skill of shape

It once was accompanied by others

Now nothing grew

As it stood still

Small drops of water began to fall

Echoes of a once filled land

That once stood tall

Now emptiness handed down

Starting all over again

Trying to hold on to

What was once then

Holding back until ready

To grow

Fulfilled by now

It put on a show

The bubble did finally burst

It had filled its thirst

As the roots were surely fixed in

And the mountain that protected it

Swallowed enough for him

Now energy had once begun

Trees shoots filled the sea beds head

As tiny rocks formed into one another

Holding on to the mountains mother

Say it When

What is a man

With a rose

A man who is about to propose

A smile that lights up a room

The sweet smell of distinct perfume

The softened smell of scented flowers

The innocent look on his face

As he throws off his manly powers

There they are twelve perfect roses

With tiny tear drops

Sitting perfectly within

He knew her heart he has to win

As he leaves a trail

For her to follow

She swallows a sip of wine

And follows him

There he is

With his heart on his sleeve

She is giggling

A child within

What is going on

He replies back

Will you take this load from me

This load off my back

As he turns

With a sign on it says

Will you marry me

Please oh please

As he is on bended knee

All she can do is laugh

And say

Oh yes of course

I will I will

A happy ending for both of them

A new start too

Happiness is something

Can be so easy to do

Make a life together

Hand in hand

Through the times

Both good and bad

Hard and sad

She never looked back

Neither did he

Cuddling up together

Two rings, two hearts entwined making them

See all there is to see
