[ About the Author ]

You live in my heart always
You fill me with hope, pride
You ask nothing in return

Bitterness I show, even anger
Something is wrong within
I search the endless tunnels

Your there for me always
Your there to give me a smile
Your there to tell me its all alright

Confusion I show, even regret
And still I search the inner feelings
Hoping to find what is really wrong

You lye bye me in bed
You comforting me in the dark
You keep the demons from hunting me

I show love on occasion
I show emotion seldom too
I thought, I thought and thought

Then you left me, burying my heart
Knowing all to well my mistakes
I was the one that thought too much.

TO THE TOP

You are late tonight
Bad night weather perhaps
Evening bloomed
Still I withered away

I look to the stars
Searching for you tonight
The moon shines brightly
Alas the orbital mission

Receive me when you call
I say prayers in my head
Forget the magic we make

But now it is all too late
You have fallen from grace
To this place earth

Be gone to the stars
Remember how it all started
Just down on your luck

I remember you at first
Some glued up alien
From some strange planet

Now there is no glue
Even you don't have a clue
You have forgotten

In the stars above us shining
The universe looks down
Trying to give it's warning

Sit bye me sing a lullaby
Perhaps we can find away
Prayers to the above
To the planetary homeland

TO THE TOP

I awoke one day
And found you there
Why bye me I thought

Scum to the world
Their thought faces
Broke through me

Is it so bad to be strange
Is it so wrong to want, too
Be it as it may I am

You talk behind my back
Talk about your friends
Everyone you actually meet

Pathetic lives you all lead
I pittty your exsistance
Oh infuriate you do I ha

The price of being weird
You do not care as to the thoughts
Of all of you who mock

TO THE TOP

I d sit there and watch you
Remembering those good days
When you had a smile a mile wide
Brought joy, happiness to the day
When I was blue I could look upon you
Then I would turn a shade red
When bruised and battered
You would always lay by me in bed
And never would there be a word said
We shared everything in this world
You even told me goodnight stories
Then you had vanished just like a dream
But the memory of you shall never fade.

Freddie Sykes 1997

TO THE TOP

I searched the dark horizon waiting
For the winter nights to come
I spread my mighty wings wide
And closed my lids tighter

Leaping into the air I felt the world spin
Then I opened my eyes, open and wide
Blinded from all its beauty
Of the coloured bridge in this sky

Darkness came and covered the land
Then the world was spinning all to fast
Bright burning light engulfed me
Sending me straight down into the ground

For a time I lay with my wings broken
Was it one of the Gods whom had, spoke
I had nearly reached the Rainbow of my Dreams
Perhaps in the future I will be Stronger

Many summers came and went bye
Just turning into the cycles of life,
As we all do now know
I was tired

Shivers rack my fragile body
But never the same as before
For now time has taken its toll
My scales changing in colour

I now know I will join the world in summer
Becoming one with the place I was born.
Then truly I will find the bridge in the sky.

TO THE TOP

Far away we fly, to the distant mountains
awaken from a endless flight,
morning shines with renewed lights
then we fly to the fading sun
hearing the echoes of the past
remembering the joys of being lost

TO THE TOP

Words were shared in understanding
Thoughts of pride flowed deep down
Inside the well of creation itself
Summer time has been and went

Right to the top of the floor
Second third even four
Turning it into a decent
Everything is really happening

Fearing the shadows of fate
If it's meaning is of courage truly bent
All the verses spoken were all meant
Struggle up into the light

Misty eyed, emotion feel it strike
Like the red hot poker in the night
Rendered to silent whispers
The meaning will be shed forever

Lye bye me till our end of days
Rumbling into the deep blue sea
Sowing the seed to life
Sleep pretty children of mien.

TO THE TOP

The last line folded
The second held
The first one shined

Words spoke in anger
Lies, with spoken truths
Silent screams

Image shining
In shaded shadows
All appear in, moon light

Terrible laughs
Willow of thoughts
Rainbows and dreams

Rain comes
Sun shines
Winter also rhymes

Happiness fills the heart
Sadness burdens the soul
Then step through the door

Take my worldly view
Weigh opened values
Share honest opinions
Cherish another's emotions

TO THE TOP

The beginning became rushed
Only too fall short in the journey
Carried to a secret place
Too find a change would occur

Place of hallowed, allowed truths
Shallow puddles turn to wells
Tiny seeds planted to become trees
Heartland of nature returned

Returning to mothers dwelling place
Where freedom seeks out no need
Where no greed could ever follow
Peace was found in the heart, soul

Shadows engulfed the daylight
Turning day to night

Then monsters did finally come
They called this progress
Took every space they could find
Moved us all from our homes

Change was imminent we knew
The way of life can be confusing
But this is the way it has always been
It will never really become different

I ask only one question, why?

TO THE TOP

Right too the top of the hill
They swayed in to one motion
Levelled the plain here in Spain
Even now I travel on train

Bright moonlight
Shines with bitter hatred
Loved once, chained twice
Now to be caught in the vice

Running from dreams
Running towards them
Seeking out nightmares
Only trying to escape them

Mighty arms engulf the soul
Shy away, leading to truth
The questions of whit's
Charred, broken all gone

The words spoken
Torn feelings of betrayal
Shattered silence
All changed, renewed faith.

TO THE TOP

In my thoughts that you are, each and every day,
I would turn back the clock, change time
If I could have never met you, bliss
I would get on in my life, live happily

Now I just put up with you for comfort
Each and every day that does go bye
I can only dream of a brighter future
Only if it would quickly come

Wrong of me to think this way I know, but
I really do fucking hate you

In bed at night I slide off the covers waiting
For the soft moans the shivers of your body
Flooding out of you as I caress you
Come and come you do, bitch

Then the making is over time to paint
Colours flash in our heads
Master this bolt the door
Chanting the sacred rights

The door will close tomorrow comes
The sun will shine, all will be fine
Yes and I will still be a swine
But, you will always be a bitch

TO THE TOP

I thought once I knew where I was going too.
But, I guess we all go through things like this.
When I was younger I thought that the world owed me.
Again I guess that you all know what it is I mean.
A cover was pulled right over my eyes, from the beginning.
Was it right the way I lived my life now, why care.
That kind of attitude would get me into trouble.
Well that's what my mother and other people said.
Close to an end with bitterness, perhaps even loneliness'.
How could I find what I am looking for, I can't.
Go back to school learn a career take up a triad.
What the fuck I must be really weird.
Come on I mean listen I am bored of this planet.
Everything has been done every word said.
It really does not leave much room to do much.
How are your lives? What's so interesting in it?
Can you honestly say your lives are fine?
Religion now there we go another one of those.
Don't it just blow your minds, I mean god!
That's just another one of those things implanted.
Our mind are a funny thing really, look deeper.
I searched for many years and shed lots of tears.
Tried lots of mind-boggling drugs, drank till dawn.
Ah the searching still went on, I knew once.
I reached a point once in my life at sixteen.
That was the person who I was, just a little lost.
Then I screwed it up by experimenting loads.
I had lost myself to this crazy mixed up world.
Now I am back in the driving seat, now take a seat.
Advise is given freely and honestly, agree so far.
But always best to second the opinion, agree.
Most of the time I think we all are searching for something.
I just think we are all sure as to what it is.
Then we come to our beginnings where you from?
What do you do? How old are you? Many more questions.
The time has come to find a future for us.
I hope the winter this year is not bad, listen to others.
Perhaps in the future those words spoken will help you and I.
Speak the truth, as so there is no confusion involved,
Things are always messy when there are lies in the air.
Forgotten memories of lost loves let them alone, all
They will really do is make us blue and shed those tears.
Goldfish, fish in general I have found to relive stress,
Cats I've found work remarkably well too.
Have you ever had a notion when things are about to happen?
You have this feeling that you knew or like it has happened before.
I guess we all have to live life to find answers, I hope we all find them.

TO THE TOP

Creation there is much
Destruction there is plenty

Of life we know we exist
Purpose we have no clue

Stranded years ago
On an island in outer space

We take it to the other side
We slide and glide, in time

Reaching higher and higher
Until we reach out to the stars

Becoming one once again
From which we were born

In time we search for answers
And always willing to explore

We are the masters they say
I still see no masters here on earth

We are all children searching
For truth of where we all come from

Just look up into the stars you will know
As I do, the secrets it hides

Freddie Sykes...24/|April2000

TO THE TOP

Minds broken shadows
Whispered shattering cries
Lonely empty halls

Happily family gathered
Out in the open sun
Burning to a crisp in the day

Hollow trees speak truths
Where now their leaves fall
Tumbling straight to the ground

The world spins freely
As it always should
Just taking another day in stride

Mothers call out to children
All over the world
Time to come in and stop playing

Fathers warn of hidden dangers
Always being pains with protection
Time to come home no later

Life has its ways and means
Our guardians look after us all
Then we meet the maker

Angels appear out front here
Listening to silent fears
Calming the souls of burdens

Darkness shall fall end of days
Sleep will take us all to another world
Peace tranquillity exists

I will meet you all there
I promise you I will
Sleep well children of the stars.

TO THE TOP

You keep me safe and warm at night
Free from all dangers
Free from all suffering
You are there as my best friend
Have, been all my life
There, to hold my hand
There, to speak words of wisdom
Love me when no other does
Sing to me goodnight, lullaby's
Whisper words of encouragement
All I wish I could tell you I love you
But, that never seems the right thing
Never seems enough to express my feelings
Yet I know you will always be here in my heart
Like a fortress you are there to protect me until I grow older

Thank you
Mum.

TO THE TOP

Hearing your voice
Amongst an angry crowd
Seeing you they're trembling
With fear

I am there I am here
Always

Clutching on throughout
Many years of joy
Sadness touches the heart
Bringing fear

Questions of many
Answers are few
The days fairly flew

I am here and there
Always

The leaves had fallen
Amongst them was, me

TO THE TOP

My mind reals with..wonder
Amazed beyon belief
Seek out the path

Help me
Help me

Those words spoken
Silently

Unity..of the forgotten

I want to be free

Trapped inside
The continuing shere
Thoughts shared

Hell
Help me

I am in the world
Of the forgoten
People

Reach out touch
Reach out feel
Reach out Hide

Words of children
Keep me warm mummy
Keep me safe

Bitterness clouding all
Shadows over taking us
Anger flooding on in.

Help me
Help me
I am in hell

Windows shatter
Hearts Break
Tears flow

Help.us all

TO THE TOP

Lifts the heart to see
Lifts the burden from me
Brings light to show the
Way

Holding life close
Understanding nothing
Pretending to be
Free

The dragon within
Always trying to break
Always pushing
Thee

Afar in the distance
Love blooms waiting
For discovery
Today

Our hearts beat the beat
Racing to find love
Avoiding despair
Looking

The mind hopes
Searching for the thing
Questioning every single
Thing

The soul trying to find peace
Even harmony

TO THE TOP

I ask one thing
I thought you were the one
But you turned out to be
Well
Something else

I dreamed something
I thought it was my reality
But
Soon realised it was not

Water passes under the bridge
But emotions
Well
Different story Hugh

Once I thought of you
Even dreamed of you
But along the way
We parted

Shallow we were
Desperate for love
Only not to be alone
For another day

Red, hot fire
Consumed me
Bitter jealousy
Hurt me

Behind us we let it lay
In front of us, well
We could never say
Just waiting another day

Goodnight

TO THE TOP

I am a star
I am the best
I will be up there
With all the rest

Bragging

I am the one
I am on top
I am into pop

Bragging

I am a star
I am a model
I am a, idol

Bragged

I did this
I did that
I did everything
Except

Being loved

TO THE TOP

Empty hallways
Under the mountain
Severed hopes united
Broken hearts
Reunited

Spoken words
Red, blooded anger
Shamed deeds
Left unpunished
Surrendered silence

Trouble comes
Bright flashes
Lightening brings
Booming thunder
Disaster to justice

Memories of cruelty
Sharing emotions
Empty promises
Only to fall victim, to
An uncaring society

Laws of right
Turn all into night
Digging a hole, from
Where there is no
Return, innocence

Terrible cry' shatter
The innocent hearts
Of a young sweet child
Mind and body
Hearts and souls, torn

They are in all of us
Just lurking there
Behind a wall of niceness
Only to emerge out side
Fooling the eye with all

TO THE TOP

Walking away facing no fear
Then suddenly mum would appear
Moonlight is golden in the shade

Windows are broken from winter
Screams go unnoticed
Dreams go on and never spoken

Reaching out to all of you
Pretending to be something I'm not
Lay me out there in the open

Mirror shows opportunities
Reflecting past failures
With the images of lost, found joys

The balance of life
The taste you, we all have
Never to be told of the secret ways

TO THE TOP

Paint the picture
On your wall
Show the future
So I am tall
Making the dream
Come true
For we can all
Live in peace
Showing them all
There can be
Unity
Even in a world so big
As this one
