Dreams can come true

And should the day arise
Grab it
Hold on to it forever
Not everyone has the chance to dream
And then for that dream to become reality
Not everyone has a 2nd chance

If you know that day is coming
Prepare for it
Don't waste the time you have
Make sure you absolutely smash it
You'll only have one shot at these 3 choices and then that'll be it
Another 12 months until the next shot

So as the day arises be positive
Be exactly who you are
Don't be shy
Don't be nervous
Go out there and shine

A promise

Follow me from the richest of towns
Bring nothing with you but your spirit
Believe that I will change your life
You know I can

Look deep within your soul
See the tears that have fallen in your past
Trust in me, know I will give you everything
Everything you have ever wanted
All you'll ever need
I will change your life
Believe in me

Tie a knot in some string and hang it from that finger
Look at my hands as they let go
And a ring falls down on to you
It promises you happiness
An eternity of love
Of a place where your dreams comes true
Believe in me and I'll promise that's what I'll do

My heart has something to say

Sunshine face and succulent skin
Your body is what my dreams portray
I get lost in your eyes
Your voice soothes all my pains
Your past breaks my heart
As mine probably breaks yours

You are my queen
You are all I've ever wanted and more
I miss you when I'm sleeping
My heart floats when we kiss
I can't get enough of this
Our love your love
What is and what's becoming
Close my eyes and see my future and it's all surrounding you
I need you
Now I have found you I can never lose you
I will compete in any fight to keep you
My strength to protect you is unbreakable
Sunshine smile and perfect face
My beautiful girlfriend
My future wife

Mere Mortals

What could they tell us, if we had the time to ask
What wisdom could they instill onto us
for we are just mere mortals in this town too
we might be fresher faced and always moaning
but still mere

What could they tell us about the olden days
you know, about the times that were actually hard
not these days where because a phone is slow we lose our cool
i mean real battles like the wars

I often wonder in my quiet times about the experiences of people
of any person really but just the notion that they also live
they also have really bad days and cant cope
i think long and hard and get myself all worked up

I have some relatives who are no longer here
and I could kick myself for thinking this all too late
For they were sat in there chairs all day with there heads full of memories
I wish I had plucked at them
asked them the questions that mattered
I know as a youngster, I was scared of them
intimidated by there big chairs and big slippers and stern faces
sat silently in the corner with there cups of tea
asking for me to come up to them and receive my present or kiss there cheek
they were not mere mortals to me
they were royalty
I would often stare into the floor incase they asked me a question

What was I scared of?
If i could go back, i would have asked them, what there favourite subject in school was? There most treasured recipe? What it felt like when they fell in love?
What it was like being older?
What they believed life was all about?

What could they tell us, if we had the time to ask
What wisdom could they instill onto us
for we are just mere mortals in this town too
we might be fresher faced and always moaning
but still mere

And What Is....

and what is the ending
is it the last breath
the last beat in our heart
or is it a life without love
is it that moment in which you have nobody and nothing
and you are just walking around in this life empty
what does it mean to have nothing

and what is a career
is it an income on your bank statement
is it the hunger for success
or is it making a difference
can you encompass them all
wrap them up together and pop on a bow

and what is love
is it that overwhelming bliss in your heart
that feeling of complete perfection
the thinking of and dreaming of the future
the understanding between two people
the trust between two people
the link that is seamless and unable to be tampered with
the bond
the knowledge
the puzzle that is now complete
the living together and sleeping together

and what is this life
is it just the most random experience
whereby nothing is impossible
where everything is for the taking if you want it
where hard work is reaped with reward
that if you fall you can hurt yourself
that if you sleep you can dream
the continuous learning and achieving
getting that brain absorbed in knowledge
having memories and remembering them
making mistakes and learning lessons

P

Fast goes the days as your time counts down
Place a hand on your chest
Can you hear your time running out?
Does it scare you?
Does it worry you?
Is your life all what you dreamed of?

I walk into a room, and I pick up a childhood picture
I look deeply into the eyes looking back at me
Would she be happy? Is she proud of what I've become?

Is my life something that can be measured with achievement?

What's next? Where do I go next?
No book tells me, only hints at listening to my own head and heart.. but is that enough?
Are other people also in this mindset?
Can this love I have save me?
Save me more than it already has?

I mean in all honesty this love has blown me away
Taken all my fears and squashed them
I have broken out of the cage I was so clearly stuck in
My trust has been awoken and has flourished
I feel invincible most days just from the reeling in my heart
The beat feels different
Happier and more consistent
The voice she has speaks to my soul
I feel like I could fly
Is this the beginning?
It seems to become more and more each day
Each morning I wake I am so happy to be lying next to her
She is my everything
Will my career go this way?

Is this what I have been waiting for all of my life?
Holding out for her
The love of my existence
Yes
Yes, it's as simple as that.
Thank you P
Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Modern day lives

I'm here
I'm right here and you haven't even seen me
Is this life now? Don't enter the location and lose your friends?
They don't recognise me you see
I've been busy
I've been living and sunning and loving and they have been waiting
Waiting for our meet up
I sit down, I'm exhausted, work have me on this project and my brain is in overdrive
I'm sat there drink in one hand, phone in the other
Chatting out my excitement of life, of love, how I'm engaged and it's so right
How well the house is coming on and how happy life is making me
They, well they just sit there
It's like they have only just seen me arrive
There minds are lost back three blocks in some other town, trying to catch up on my route
The hours fly and I'm tired
They have said nothing
Not a mutter
Not a sigh or ounce of recognition
Waitress comes
Bills paid
Tips on the table in the metal plate
I'm up and out
Coat on
Bag and phone
I've left
What was that?
Is that life in 2016?
Is that a friendship?
