Scrapbook
Fluttering butterfly wings written with sharpies
Small signitures and hastily scribbled words
Beautiful smiles (and the occasional smirks) on every page
Drips of chocolate ice cream smudges
Some folded, bookmarked dog ear pages
And a few cheeky comments, candy wrappers and cute bumper stickers wedged on the side
Colorful ribbons and festival atmospheres in the booklet
All in a scrapbook

Ice Cream
Everyone including my sister
bows down to the nations favourite treat.
Even days where I would catch a blister
It was still a nice delicacy to eat.
We would go to the van every week
Just to savour the great flavours made to offer.
Sometimes my sister would get some on her cheek
This is the benefits of being a brother.
We would often sit by the sea
Licking every part of the wonderful cone
Sometimes I was so kind I said "The drinks are on me"
My family however prefer a nice scone.
Oh how I love Ice Cream
I think it's a lovely pudding
I would go to the extreme
Just for some Ice Cream loving.

Storybook
The night has fell
Dad holds a storybook in his hands
I do hope he has a spare tale to tell
He puts the book in his big, calloused hands
Stretches the covers to the very end
And sits on my Hello Kitty bed
The story abruptly ends
"The Princess and the Prince lives happily ever after,"
I look at my bedside window and into the sky
Remembering how the Princess was cursed by the eerie moon
And ask my suddenly stilled father
"Does the Princess outlive the curse?"
Dad never answered me, just gave me a bittersweet smile
I didn't ask for the anwser, the harsh reality he was hiding
But now I stand with my partner hand in hand
In the airport, filled with friends and family
And I finally realise
The strong willed can outlive their curse
As this is only the start of the ending
The ending of the next beginning

Arise, Sir Stupid!
I spend all day at the beach
Working as like my farther
Become the nations best construction worker.
I work all day and all night
To make the best it can be
And the most realistic as you would expect
Tomorrow I did the same thing
Working on it, adding finishing touches
And putting bits here and there and everywhere.
I even collected water from the sea
To make a moat around the outside
Making sure nothing is spilt around the sides.
Feeling contempt with the finished design
I smiled in glee and happiness
Until something blocks my light.
It was all fine until he showed up
Laughing like the sound of chalkboards
And a look represent Medusa.
He gave a smirk, a laugh
And went full foot onto my castle.
All that hard work shattered into bits.
His pose was behind him
The 3 Stooges I should say
None of them giving a care in the world.
I wasn't only angry, I was outraged
And went home sheltering from the hate.
And avoiding more trouble.
The next day I did the same thing.
Built another castle that took
Me another decade to complete.
Unlike the over one though
I felt pretty happy than ever
Before and simply waited gazing at my design.
Then the man of the hour arrived
His foot made of steel
His heart made of pure evil.
He aims and all lets loose
But strangely this design I spent ages on
Gave out a really massive thud.
The castle was still intact but the bully
Was shattering and falling.
Similar to the end of the world.
His crew looking at me and them him
Staring and feeling confused
Forgetting he had just dyed his foot red.
First I smiled. then giggled
Then did a massive obnoxious laugh
Right in front of his face.
He wasn't happy and went to lynch at me
But missed and landed at my
Older brother who is like Iron Man but stronger.
Before he runs off my brother
Strangles him to death.
Think of it as a human baby and rattle.
I watched in delight.
Laughing and joking the whole time
While his crew was getting attacked by the gorilla.
I watched them get flung far away
Never to be seen for ever more
Now when I make a castle I think of it all over again

Requited-Unrequited Love
He sends me a shy smile and a late Valentine
And asks for my permission to be courted
I stand stiffly and watch him, a smile plastered on my face as I speak
"I'm sorry, but I'm leaving in 4 days."
And leave my former best-friend and love interest
Standing in the remainants of ashes
-------------

Shells
I listen out for them
The sound of dawn.
The sound of awakening
The sound of sunrise.
I feel the rough hard skin.
The touch of grains that lie deep.
The touch of who once lived there
The touch of the shield of eternity.
I look inside the holes of nothingness
The look of emptiness in life
The look of the naked hole with purity.
The look of extreme death.
I smell the ocean that lies deep in the skin
The smell of the darkened atmosphere
The smell of all that came
The smell that used to give this creature a life.

Storm
Boom! Bang! Swish!
Thunder crackles and lightning flashes
My tree falls

Bramble (06/07/15)
A/N: Dedication poem with no title, goes for everlasting (I'll force it out of you, narcissists) BFFs- Jay, Val & Caramel ;)
Lightning flashes
It seems like the sky is unhappy
Like how the Hulk envolves with anger
Like how I get when I'm snappy
I watch the storm raging on
Suddenly thinks of them
The no longer lost souls I saved
From the prison of greed and gems
I remember a man
Hid his hurt under a world of pride
I remember a woman
She never gave up on her dreams
And I remember myself standing from harm
As they walk me into oblivious bliss
The sunset.

Sounds
The sounds of chirping
The sounds of burping
Makes the air calm
The sounds of a happy crowd
The sounds it being loud
Makes the air noisy
The sounds of love
The sounds of hate
The air tells us it's all our own choice

Rain
Summer rain
You can never predict them
Like the ones in Spain
That crash like a gem.

Fade Away
It was a long night
In the summer of calm and brightness
We went to sit down by the sea and stare
Into the dark sky.
The sky was gloomy but
Gave that feeling of welcoming.
We sat on a sun-bed with a drink
And we listen to the gentle sound of the waves.
The birds had gone
For it was replaced by the night owl.
We watched the moon rise
And the clouds above.
My lover tapped me on the shoulder.
She wanted to go for a dip.
I was sceptical because
I was worried about our safety.
But she didn't care and ran in
In here birthday suit.
I wanted too but
I chickened out because of our safety.
But she forced me to go in
And so that's when I gave in.
I dipped in the sea
In my birthday suit too.
At first it was freezing
But it was overpowered by our love.
The night grew on
And we all sat staring into the sky.
We chatted about us
Daily lives we had.
We sang songs and
Made love like anyone would do.
We heard a sound.
We thought it was the waves.
And we was right.
It was the waves.
But it kept getting louder.
And louder each time.
I was short sighted
While she was far sighted
So I was able to see it better
And what we saw was indeed a wave.
But it was a tidal wave
It's face menacing
And it's height was
Far more bigger than mine.
When I finally I figured it out
I screamed at her to run away
From the beach.
When she did we ran as far as we could.
We kept on running to shore until
We were safe from torture.
I managed to arrive in one piece
But not so lucky for my lover.
Alas she was sucked in
And died a horrible painful death.
I wanted to cry over the remains
But all I was staring at
Was the death of my lover
The use and abuse of my one and only soul.
I shed a tear and watched
When the wave stopped.
I looked in all that was left
And dropped to the floor.
My life is grinded to a halt.
I cannot move on anymore.
I have lost my only soul
My only protector.
My friend sees my cry
And rushes like the fire brigade.
I tell him the news
Of the whole tragic tale.
We both hug through the night
Remembering the years I spent with her.

A/N: For my beloved Jay and his courage for suddenly joining the house captain election. All Hail Captain!
Captain
Captain, ol' Captain:
Sail me through the roaring seas
Rule my world with waves and stone
Don't let our boat be released
Leave the shells and prizes alone
And bravely sail on, sail on
All hail Captain!

Footsteps
His footsteps echo down the stairs
"Do you really have to go?"
I don't look back and sprint away
"Yes, yes I do."

Morning!
You can tell the birds chirping
You can hear the kettle boiling
And the pan frying.
Good Morning, my friend.
You can see the clear blue sky
You can feel the heat from the sun
And the sounds of yawning.
Good Morning, my friend.
You can smell the food in the air
You can feel the soft luxurious bed
And the light coming through.
Good Morning, my friend.
You can tell it's daytime
You can tell what time it is
And you can smile for another day.
It's going to be a good morning.

Schools Out!
Schools out!
Hurray! This is what it's all about.
No school forever.
Now I'm off to see Trevor.
So now what?
Well it's summer you little nut!
Come join me for all the fun
Going to the beach hanging out in the sun.
Just sit back an unwind.
Let all the stuff ease out of your mind.
Forget all the teachers and work
There just a bunch of uptight jerks.
Think of all the things you do
Like making yourself a hot brew.
And putting your feet up
And even take pictures close-up.
No teachers to bug you
Were done with that, were through.
Just savour the great outdoors
And smell all the ocean floors.
Just wake up at 10:00am
And get up to smell the air and the jam.
Get up, get up, get up
GET UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wake up with a jolt.
Summers not until 1 month Mr "Speedy Bolt"
Don't start skipping school now.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Ow.

Oh Dear Peter!
There once was a guy called Peter
Who was also know as a cheater
He conned people of his money
Which nobody found it funny
So they placed him in an eletric beater.

Birthday #1
I was presented with cakes and candles
And a whole lot of presents
When I've (desperately) turned to you
A "I forgot, sorry" Is all I get
-------------
Bramble (15/07/15)
Birthday #2
"Happy belated birthday!"
My friends gather 'round and say
I look up from the chocolate cake and smile
Presents lighting up one by one in their pile
Shiny disco lights are up
And I feel the love
When you put your arms around me
And sway to the matching beat of the day
-------------

Flames
Fire burning
Oil Crackling
The smell of death.
Acid bubbling
Lava spitting
The sound of fear.
Bones cracking
Tissue ripping
The feeling of pain.
Mouth burning
Throat freezing
The taste of bad experiences.
Friends shouting
Lions roaring
The emotion from my body.
The blood
The pale face
The last word
-------------
IRmjii (19/07/15)
Time
Short hours
Long hours
Boring hours
Are all part of the day.
Daylight
Moonlight
Afternoon light
Are all part of the sky.
Coffee breaks
T.V breaks
Nap breaks
Are all part of rest and relaxation.
Crying baby's
Nagging wife's
Irritating brothers
Are all part of a stressful environment
Broken laptops
Slow cookers
Empty batteries.
Are all part of practical work
Smiling
Playing
Laughing
Are all part of having fun.
And you know what?
I love it!

Question?
Some people think.
Why are we here?
What is our purpose here?
Who created us?
What if we didn't exist?
Some people think of it differently
Did god made us?
Did Jesus made us?
Did science made us exist?
Is it science that makes us die?
Well the simple answer is.
We do not know.
It's all part of the wonders
And wonders of life around us.
It all comes true if we wait.

Life
Life is like a box of chocolates.
You get some good ones
Or you get some horrible ones.
While you like them some may not.
Life is like power.
Some people get all the glory
While some get absolutely nothing.
You win some, you lose some.
Life is like D.I.Y
It takes ages to solve things
And when you do you get no credit for it.
Some do nothing and get praised.
Life is like a record player.
It goes round and round and never stops
And when it does its broken or faulty.
Just like some peoples lives.
Life is like an oven.
Sometimes it can get hot
And it gets angry when you aggravate it.
Plus they charge you for nothing.
Life is like cheese.
It pollutes the air
But people don't care and eat it anyways.
Just like myths and legends.
Life is like a train track.
It stops for the rich and trod's on the poor
It goes in a cycle same when you get up for work.
When the cycle is done you have to sleep to repeat it again.
Life is like a jigsaw.
There's always something missing
Which you spend forever looking for
Only to realise the true meaning.
Life is like a rollercoaster.
It goes up on a good day but goes down on a bad day.
When it loops the same thing happens.
And there is nothing you can do about it.
Life is like a jug.
When it's empty you have lost confidence,
When it's full your ready to take on the world.
But to refill it can be costly sometimes.
Life is like a book.
When your mother opens it you begin your journey.
When your son closes it you end it.
You write the chapters but life publishes it.
Whatever life may be to you
Can be something else for others.
But do remember to
Make everyday happen.

Ghost
They all told me not to wait on a lonely summer night
But it's never enough
The ghost always returns to me
Me, me and me alone
Holding a cup of whiskey
A AK-47 on board
Spending another dear night
At Lonely Street, Heartbreak Hotel
Carnival sights are all up
Yet I am still here mourning for my loss
Standing in a corridor full of people
Yet I still feel cold
"The Buck Moon is up, dear fellas!
Raise up your glasses, ya'll be celebrating with us tonight!"
Couple in hayrides, little kids dancing in delight
Yet no smile appears on my slightly painted face
The Ferris Wheel goes up slowly
Creaking as the fireworks go
My fingers move nimbly
A black mist spreads over the night...

XxXxXxXxX
The owl hoots knowingly, the ravens squawk approvingly
And off I go, leaving the place I called home so many nights ago
Up, up and up into the unknown...
