Colour not your heart
leave it
pure
leave it free
living life as directed
by
the souls of eternity.

Colour Not Your Heart

Terrible Things
September 19, 2025
Terrible things have happened
Terrible things
Terrible things live
Exist.
We must live
Trying
Not to harbour
But
Eliminate
Those terrible things.
Not hear, feel
Allow
Those awful
Awful
Terrible things.

My Heart Does Cry
September 18, 2025
My heart does cry
my lips moan
you are lost
gone
from here
I’m
all alone
May tomorrow
bring
love’s delights
but
til that time
I’ll remember
all
you gave
throughout
this sad, long night.

No More
September 17, 2025
No more will I be
the one
who saves you
always full of courtesy
No more will I be
the one
who laughs
dances to a silly song
no more
No more will I be
the one
who helps you up
cradles a ailing, sickly little pup
no
no more
No more
will I be that one
For you see
you have come to me
you have made
me see
I don’t need to do
all that
Cause it’s you
now
doing all this
for me.

My Heart Bleeds
September 16, 2025
My heart bleeds
my eyes
do cry
everything in between
is
start to live
end with
die.
No words will hold you up
no words
take you down
only your mind
can
conquer
what keeps you
constrained
what keeps you bound.
Freedom is yours
freedom
in
life
start to live
is
my advice.

Don’t Tell Me
September 12, 2025
Don’t tell me
I must be the same
same as you, not me.
Don’t tell me
my beating heart
doesn’t count.
Don’t tell me
my thoughts are just lies.
Don’t tell me
the tears I weep will never
bring back ones lost.
Don’t tell me this
I ask of you
I plead, I cry.

A Sombre Day
September 11, 2025
A sombre day
in
a troubling
time
Make sure
not
forgotten
Not lost
in
time.

You Feel Me
September 10, 2025
You feel me
close
you feel my heart
I know you do
No words are spoken
no kisses
felt
yet in the future
I hope
I’m all
you think about.

I Don’t Care
September 5, 2025
I don’t care
if you’re white or black
whether you’ve seen the sacred cow
or
any of that
that
makes us different
in
thoughts and acts
we are still human beings
we are family
joined
it seems
to live life as best we can
making
full of love for all
all
of us
humans
and
other beings.

Play The Game
September 4, 2025
Change the game
change
the way we look
the way
we play the game
Makes no difference
who sees
we hold
all
the cards
We know
the stakes
we’re going to play
to
win
We’ll change the outcome
we’ll play
the game.
