I usually find explaining poetry blashemous but regardless...  This is the first poem i ever truly wrote.  My father passed away on the Fourth of July, 2001.  Outside of school i never wrote anything, this has inspiried me to create more.  My father is my inspiration.  I was 16, i am now 20 and these words still hold a great deal of meaning and significance.  I feel this is a deeply personal write, which is why things may not resonate as they do with me...  Either way, i hope you enjoy.


The stars that shine so bright

Only live for half the life

Its natures way

Its natures life

A work of magic in the eyes

The sly magicians great disguise

Greater than god could ever see

The sinful’s leader in misery

Its always hard to lose the one

Just when you thought they’re good they’re done

It doesn’t make sense to wisp away

Death it seems is far too grave

Destiny holds the futures lies

Master of our own demise

Afraid of Life afraid of Death

Afraid of living with something left

We’ve come so far to be in the past

Why cant life forever last

Relationships come and go

Love is like a worthy foe

A game of life a game of mind

Please don’t let me live so blind

So I call to the heavens of natures way

Life’s worth living ill make it pay



Style from grace

Window of faith

A language from apes

Transcended by seed

Absent from greed

A higher intelligence

Brought by benevolence

Misery and greed

Not born from the seed

Magical as a god

A whisper from above of natures true beauty

Mountains and space

Flowers and race

Hand over your keys

And ill show you the kingdom ancient as dirt

The higher intelligence abound dissolving boundaries

Things are strange

They must not be happening

Straight from the dream of powers passion

I sing your life’s song in perfect requiem

This visions coming true

As you fall to the floor my mind hides deep inside

Lights swirl in circles with the sound of bombs

Explosion

Fire works take the sky

As my tears just pass me by



The sound of death brought through the thunderous night

Raining light

The world should stop

Only it skips a beat

But its all the same just one less soul

A casualty of life’s honest goal

Because way back beyond bright blue skies

Is right where the devil lies

Tied up in gods sorry story

He’s killed so many its easy to see

I look deep inside and realize the truth

Gods the devil, blinding the masses

Ideas like that, you must take us for asses



You see

My addiction, it has two faces

My addiction lies in bright blue skies

My addiction lies bent on demise

Swept away to luscious lands

Always begging to takes its hand

A foreign land I’ve found inside

Dreams have found a place to hide

My addiction, it has two faces

My addiction lies with truthful eyes

My addiction lies deep down inside

Were all guaranteed a place to die

Were all guaranteed a place to hide

A peaceful rest in the waking of worlds

A forgotten story of birth and innocence

Crushed by novelty and rape of the blind

Jesus, how did we get so far behind

Welcome to my world where passions clash

I pray my life will forever last





I’ve traveled the Far East,

I’ve traveled the veins of blood, love

I’ve traveled irony and ecstasy

Traversed deaths destiny

Holding me tight

Waiting to take flight

No more will I walk the lines of truth

No more will I walk the lines of life

No more will this life offer me a hand

Just another precious land

Hues and shoes for walking,

Hearts for loving I have nothing

Hearts for Death I have nothing left

I’ve never seen such bright blue sky’s

Master of my own demise

Plant it, watch it grow

Watch it suffer so

Hitting the end is my lonely friend

Something I can never make mend

You only get one chance to live a thousand lives

You only get one life to master the skies

Plant it, watch me suffer so

How was I to know what was in store for me

Waiting on the other side like wanted and forgotten friends

I have no more soul in my body

No more body in my soul

Ripped and shredded red

A sullen and aborted bed



Waiting at any moment to be swept away

Death chooses the place to lay

This is the tragedy of errors

You call it work

I call it blind



Isolation from my only friends

You’ve watched it all slip away

While you sleep in warm beds grave

Rest in peace as your soul quivers

Rest in peace as your body shivers

Only redemptions shy casual eyes

Can deliver us from tragedy’s lies



I wont trade who I am

For a

Never

Never Land

A very insightful poem, Nikerlz.  You lost your father at a very young age.  I really don't care what age we are, the loss of a beloved parent will always stay with us.  

Welcome to Passions.

I understand such feelings, having just now lost both my Mom and my Dad. I do, however, feel blessed to have had them in my life for many more years than you had your father in yours. It must have been exceptionally difficult for you at the tender age of 16.

A very moving write.

Love & Eternal Light,
EA

This is pretty amazing writing.  I understand the loss and the questions as I kind of went through some of that when my brother died.  It's an amazing piece of work that you wrote.
