A Poem for Today: You’re So Gone

By Blynds on October 31, 2024

You’re so gone
I’m still into you
It’s been so long
We’ve said words so true
I can’t picture you
Like I used to do
Playing games
Under skies so blue
Kicked off my shoes
Lay down in front of you
I’m not afraid
We had a special brew
The lights are on
All is yellow in your eyes
The wind is rising
September storms arrive
You’re so gone
I’ll bring you back home
I’ll sit with you
Until I’m alone
You’re so gone
I’m still into you
It’s been too long
These words are true

A Poem for Today: Get It On

By Blynds on October 30, 2024

I wanna go to China
Take a trip to see the sights
Shanghai Beijing Hong Kong
The Yangtze River by night
Open up the world
Get on with each other
Yeah we’re all different
But you’re still my sister my brother
New things are good
New places open eyes and minds
We all got the same coloured blood
Stop the whitewashing read the signs
They’re not coming for you
Just living like you and me
Making their lives better
Looking after their family
You know you’d do the same
Don’t tar and feather to blame
Someone you know someone you love
Had to move country to play the same game
There is no shame
In getting on
So get on with it
Get it on

A Poem for Today: Holding On

By Blynds on October 29, 2024

I’m holding on
For dear life
My eyes are closed
I can hear your voice
Talk to me
About the simple things
They mean the most
Hear the birds sing
I’m not afraid
I’m comfortably numb
My heart is strong
I’m not ready to succumb
You brush my hand
You kiss my cheek
I’m Marcus Aurelius
Before the long sleep
My memory escapes
Although I am still me
We are all stardust
I’m ready to be free
I’m holding on
For dearest life
My eyes are closed
I can see the light

A Poem for Today: Silvia

By Blynds on October 28, 2024

I’m needy like a mother
Addicted to the sugar
Can’t give it up or let it go
Just live it up thats all I know
Hey what’s so bad about that
Give you back more in return
What you want I know I’ve got
I know I’ve got a lot to learn
Your attention gets me high
I guess I’m just that kinda guy
I’m all in for you and more
Waiting all night outside your door
Can you hear me sigh
Every time I see you walk by
So enraptured like a child
Thoughts of you are always wild
I’ll meet you at the underpass
Under the tree I kissed you last
Silvia come back soon
Under silver light we swoon
I’d take you home back to my room
Let it fill up with your perfume
Remember this for all time
Next summer I’ll wait in line

A Poem for Today: If Time Was Love

By Blynds on October 7, 2024

To live a life well
To do the right thing
Don’t know if I can
I’m gonna give it my all
Follow in your footsteps
Make my own path
I’m big enough and old enough
See the writing on the wall
You can’t slow time
Just how you live it
If time was love
How would you give it
Words thrown down
The stairs in anger
Keep the child within
Don’t grow up too soon
Carry your own weight
An extra pair of hands
I’ll lift you up on my shoulders
Float off like a birthday balloon
Is this life good enough
Did you take it all
The summer morning rush
Before the Autumn fall

A Poem for Today: We Connect

By Blynds on September 27, 2024

We played the game
As best we can
You’re my woman
I’m your man
We got on top
Of everything
Took the lot
We couldn’t stop
Just take a breath
Slow down time
Feel the earth
Turn sublime
We can connect
Our here and now
We can connect
All is ours

A Poem for Today: Destination Home

By Blynds on September 26, 2024

Where the parakeets fly
We laugh and cry
Under turquoise sky
No secrets no lies
Who am I
But a child
Man flying high
Saying goodbye
A lesson from the guy
The big sleep boy
Ship ahoy ship ahoy
Destination unknown
Destination home
Loving arms to hold
He’s closer than you know
Wipe your tears dry
There’s a song we will sing
Don’t move keep still
Listen to the ting ting
Everyone goes ring ring

A Poem for today: I Love You So Much

By Blynds on September 25, 2024

I’m real sorry kid
I hurt you with those words
I know what I did
I’m a bad guy
I’m worse than before
I made you cry
I wanna fight
All the time
Make you hate me
Because I love you so much
I know you’re right
I’m just slime
I know you can see
I love you so much
I’m out of touch with reality
Too much time
Lost in digitally
How can I get better
If I don’t love me
I’ll just keep on saying
Kid I’m sorry

A Poem for Today: Feeling Better

By Blynds on September 24, 2024

Today was hot
To hot to run
So we just took it easy
Drinking iced tea and eating fruit
We talked a lot
Kids in the sun
Then you got all soapy
Set the neuron’s loose
They get together
We’re feeling better
Never say never
Now and forever
Tonight is closing out
The sun is on it’s way
We’re patiently waiting
For the yellow to appear
Let’s rise up
Under the same sky
Fall under her spell
Inside we’re equal

A Poem for Today: Getting There

By Blynds on September 23, 2024

We’re on the road again
It’s good to be going somewhere
We can listen to the wheels turning
And our favourite radio station
I like to watch the trees fly by
The villages with their church spires
Vintage cars with their hoods down
Still can’t wait to reach my destination
It’s not the getting there that counts
It’s what you learn along the way
