The Poetry Marathon

He lay asleep,
Without moving.

For days he would do this,
Leaving us worried and clueless.
Never telling us what was wrong.

We should have noticed!!

He is an angel!
His music is relaxing.
He plays like no one I have ever heard before.

I could hear the early morning waves,
crashing along the harbour bay.
As I awoke I could hear them say,
‘Is she Ok?’

She was stranded on land,
away from her clan,
who lived under the sea.

She didn’t know how to say,
she needed to go away;
Back out into the ocean,
Back out into the sea…
So she could reunite,
with her lost family.

It was like the world stopped spinning!
The trees stopped breathing,
and the birds stopped singing.
Everything was as it was at the beginning,
not a single form of life was to be found!

She was lonely and scared.
Scared that no one wanted her,
That she would be rejected by everyone.
And so it seemed to be,
that she came to believe it!

Now she lays awake at night,
thinking!
Thinking how different life would be,
if she ever decided to leave.

I like to listen while I sleep,
and tap along to the beat.
In my head it feels so good,
to slip out under the hood.

The darkness creeps over me,
but it is something I can never see.
The way people look at me,
I wonder what they see??
The real me?

Dull

I used to think it was the answer to anything….
To dull the pain and loneliness!
To make all your worries,
And cares fade away.
But, over time they slowly slip back,
In through the cracks,
The cracks of a broken heart!
Or even a broken bone!

So well behaved he was,
that cute little dog,
who used to leap around like a frog!
Until the days came,
Where he would just lay like a log.
He would hardly move off his bed,
that poor little dog.
Now, just a memory in my head!

I lay asleep at night,
wondering, in a daze,
wishing for some Lemon Haze.
To take away the pain,
to finally let me spend my nights away.
Away in place with no bothers or worries!
A place it feels like I have been for days.
