Clichès, past these pasts
Liars and their lies...
Players and their lairs -
The devil is a liar -
No fair play, stay as we
Lay you with flair;
Maybe you'll toss your hair?
Show off! Blow off! Write off!
Breakfast again, thinking again...
Dreaming,
Mind bleeding again!
Slipping,
Reeling again,
Caught and dropped the bait
Wait
Should I stop - no longer on top?
Red light to green light - no amber -
No go slow... These roses die slow
Mirror images of a good soul...
Good guy gone bad - no Rihanna!
Bye bye baby... Maybe
Double back and drive back?
Rack up a few miles as I race back?
Grab it, tap it as I go bare back?
Nevermind, Nirvana I've found!
If dreams were movies...
Mine are 4 dimensional
Unconventional, emotional,
Inspirational - at times irrational!
My biggest movie became a true story!
Don't worry, slowly it will slow me,
Show me to move slowly -
Not lonely, or coldly, but surely!
The story starts boldly;
The hand I dealt - I fold!
Shuffled, re-dealt and replayed.
Fairy tales sold, strange tales told,
Mould my soul as was told... Foreword
My book begins,
I'd look but I'm hooked!
The destiny I ran from has found-
The dreamer fairy tales had bound!
Life has finally ground me!
Both feet firmly planted,
My seed sowed
Behind me is the past me-
I'm looking past me to the new me;
Me and mini me!
I'd murder me for mini me!
Silly me,
Took mini me to change the silly me!
I was feeling me!
Stupidly, cheating me!
Wasn't seeing me! Just
Mirror images of the old me...
Ghosts of the real me!
Casper flying, lying to the real me!
I'm reeling, rewinding, replaying me!
No more playing me - praying for me!
Feeling brand newish
Lehayim! Rich like I'm Jewish!
Money used to be my wish...
Llife blessed me with a bigger wish!
As the story gets oldish
Realise I'm dining from a new dish
Options changed - this is shish
Untainted and without blemish!
I'll enjoy the joy with relish!
With love undying, I'll lavish
The unforeseen wish
That caught my leash!
Finally I'm settled...
New levels to wrestle
With mettle I'll challenge levels
Never settle on your journey's vessel!
Attempt to change your levels
Aspire past desires;
Prise your mind past
Mindless behaviour of days past!
In the end, the prizes won't last,
Conquests become lost and cost
Too much to mean too much!
Forward I march, and after March
With much joy May I match
The joy that life brings.
