Automatic Doors!

The automatic doors swung open and then closed

nobody entered the shop

or so the shopkeeper thought glancing across

yet a customer observed

a transparent shape the premises did penetrate

the image in her mind did infiltrate!

 

As a few others shopped browsing in the store intently

no interaction but music playing

she focused her gaze particularly on the middle aisle

as items seemed to levitate

then just drop gently to the floor with an echoing thump

that only made her jump!

 

Backed away alarmed against the main counter with force

knocking over a large display

now drawing the managers complete angry attention

at this unexpected disruption

was unable to explain the mess or behaviour in any way

did not know what to really say!

 

Nobody else had witnessed anything nor shape did see

had fallen over got up apologising

people gathered confused tightly around her petite frame

was feeling so embarrassed

the fact that the goods were strewn around was ignored

with them all only felt discord!

 

Before her saw clearly the shape coming towards them

as it came to a high stack of beans

they crashed to the floor making everybody scatter

then as it entered so it left

through the automatic doors now not the only witness

following her gaze there became a stillness!

 

The atmosphere became unsettled as the doors opened

then closed yet nobody was close by

on examination of the security footage a shape was seen

and the items falling to the floor

but no explanation was determined of how it occurred

a suggestion of ghosts was thought absurd!

 

The woman knew it was true and set out to find out more

as life went on but shoppers were weary now in the store !

Descend!

Felt very nervous as the airliner approached

the large busy international airport

relieved that we had all survived the ordeal

the other passengers also shaken

but the ordeal was certainly far from its end

as the aircraft began to descend!

 

A long haul flight from a popular destination

started as another routine trip

three hundred passengers happily got on board

filled with many different thoughts

sitting with the usual hassle and lots of chatter

now every moment for them did matter!

 

Arriving ten hours late at its European destination

fuel was at a critically low-level

had seen the silver metallic object at close quarter

flying closely along side the plane

that sharp turn as the pilots tried to avoid a collision

just missing with luck or precision!

 

Then the violent bang as eventually they impacted

luggage and passengers thrown

through the cabin with a destructive turbulent force

leaving many injured and petrified

but worse was to come when we fell from the skies

cabin pressure gone the awful cries!

 

The captain sounded calm as he warned us all

of the collision and rapid fall

telling us to brace ourselves the staff assisted

oxygen masks dropped into sight

as the end of our lives seemed an inevitability

totally exposing our vulnerability!

 

Our fate was certainly not in any human hands

as an engine burst into flames

and we all were thrust to the right as a voice

came emotionless over the intercom

to prepare for impact then we hit the runway

as spiritual came into play!

 

There was no fuel left we had recently been told

the only reason we did not fry

as it broke into two pieces the screaming stopped

the grating noise of metal on tarmac

pounded our bodies and minds we must perish

leaving those behind we cherish!

 

From utter despair and acceptance of our demise

the craft was now at a standstill

somehow the crew managed to open the doors

emergency shoots quickly deployed

and if by magic we were in the main terminal

battered shaken but relief discernible!

 

There had been no fatalities but many injured

as we all sat and stood dazed

men in black suits came with armed soldiers

confronted us with an ultimatum

that what had happened was an engine fault

a tragedy in which you were caught!

 

This would be in the official report to follow

if anybody veered from this line

they would visit them the consequences grave

with that clear threat departed

even though we knew it was a metallic UFO

the outside world would never know!

 

Defying their warning was determined to tell

now in fear listened for the doorbell!

Sweet Face

How I’ve missed your sweet face

it becomes much harder

When I talk on the phone

listening to your voice

But there’s no choice

my destiny’s unknown.

 

I’m born to roam these lands

this is the way I am

Somebody’s after me

your face I won’t see

But one thing I know

must get out of town.

 

CH. How I’ve missed your sweet face

for so very long

How I’ve missed your sweet face

shouldn’t have done wrong.

 

The morning airs so cold

heart aches for your warmth

Fear grips my thoughts again

there’s no where left to run

Now I’ve fired that gun

our lives ruined for sure.

 

Was it really my evil side 

that drove me on to kill

Or my deep love for you

no I’m not the nasty sort

This I’ve often thought

oh how I feel so blue.

 

CH. How I’ve missed your sweet face

for so very long

How I missed your sweet face

shouldn’t have done wrong.

 

Weary I just had to rest

no longer could I run

The cops had cornered me

it had come to an end

Soon they’d have me penned

can I ever be free.

 

In my mind your sweet face

is as fresh as always

Now I miss your warm touch

was I part of your pain

Thinking you used any man 

still loving you so much.

 

CH. How I missed your sweet face

for so very long

How I miss your sweet face

shouldn’t have done you wrong.

 

   Just another lyric I wrote awhile ago. Hope it makes sense to anybody who reads it.

 

    The Foureyed poet.

Passion

You didn’t need me near

or knew I loved you.

Hadn’t my moves been clear

as our passions grew.

 

CH Passion fills my soul

how I want you

Passion fills my soul

passion fills my soul.

 

How I wanted to speak

but couldn’t say a word

my knees were very weak

lust within in me stirred.

 

Ch. Passion fills my soul

how I want you

Passion fills my soul

passion fills my soul.

 

You’re always in my dreams

how I’d like to confess

Yet with my clever schemes

it’s become a mess.

 

CH. Passion fill my soul

how I want you

Passion fills my soul

passion fills my soul.

 

You’re witty clear and bright

career minded and trim

Who likes to play at night

resting in the gym.

 

CH. Passion fills my soul

how I want you

Passion fills my soul

passion fills my soul.

 

I’m always on the side line

slowly the months go by

Will you ever be mine

my love until I die.

 

Passion fills my soul

how I want you

Passion fills my soul

passion fills my soul.

 

Sally hear my voice

let me speak at last

Please make your choice

 time’s speeding past.

 

Ch Passion fills my soul

how I want you

Passion fills my soul

 passion fills my soul.

 

    The Foureyed Poet.

Goodbye

It was time to wave goodbye

to go our own ways

 

Being forced apart

 

Somehow we both had to cry

thinking of those happy days

But sadly short lived

being forced apart.

 

No matter where your thoughts are

but I’ll be very near

 

Being forced apart

 

I shall call you from afar

only you will ever hear

Though it may seem hard

sadly this must be.

 

CH. When couples are forced apart

there’s always some way

For them to have a joint heart

to survive each day.

 

Your parents said it was wrong

they came between us

 

Being forced apart

 

But I knew we must be strong

no time to make any fuss

They could never win

for you are my life.

 

You all flew out to the states

watching the plane rise

 

Being forced apart

 

I’d miss our special dates

then I had a big surprise

Turning I saw you

feeling my heart pound.

 

CH. When couples are forced apart

there’s always someway

For them to have a joint heart

to survive each day.

 

You’d defied your family

to come back to me

 

No longer apart

 

Back together happily

for our relations to see

Our love was our guide

we had each other.

 

CH. When couples are forced apart

there’s always some way

For them to have a joint heart

to survive each day.

 

    For those who do love or like each other very much I guess it must be very hard to be separated from one other.

 

    The Foureyed Poet.

Trying

So long without any work

mustn’t give up hope

I’m not a person to shirk

give me extra rope

It’s hard to cope.

 

Never been without a job

can’t show my face

Don’t want to be called a yob

would like my own place

I’m just one case.

 

CH. There maybe despair

but keep trying

Life may seem unfair

but keep trying.

 

When living on the bread line

the tension runs high

in the queue waiting to sign

we all wonder why

As we do try.

 

Days weeks and months pass by

what have I done wrong

Often you feel you could cry

but one thing I long

Just to be strong.

 

CH. There maybe despair

but keep trying

Life may seem unfair

but keep trying.

 

I’ve not a penny to spare

so turn to the state

Those on the dole are aware

there’ll be along wait

an unknown fete.

 

Still some struggle to live

yes this is so true

For others a living hell

each day to get through

from a basement view.

 

CH. There maybe despair

but keep trying

Life may seem unfair

but keep trying.

 

This Lyric is Dedicated to all those without work. Or with the nightmare pending. My thoughts are with you all.

 

    The Foureyed Poet.

One Step

You felt just one step nearer

to the end of your time

But then something happened

somehow your life was spared

Suddenly you realised many cared

just about you.

 

CH. Too much to do to die

determined to help your kids

That you loved so much

saw all fear disappear.

 

How precious is each second

unknown is life’s cycle

Moving to the future

for those you love and try

Keeping your souls spirits high

this pulled you through.

 

CH. Too much to do to die

determined to help your kids

That you loved so much

saw all fear disappear.

 

You knew how lucky you were

to have another chance

Hope and strength in your mind

not taken for granted

The new seed of peace planted

in your fresh heart.

 

CH. Too much to do to die

determined to help your kids

That you loved so much

saw all fear disappear.

 

You felt just one step nearer

to heaven’s open gate

But now that time must wait

though the day wasn’t right

To see that wondrous shinning light

there’s now no fear.

 

CH. Too much to do to die

determined to help your kids

That you loved so much

saw all fear disappear.

 

    The Foureyed Poet.

Night

How frightening is the night

when the sun has set.

Life goes on in the blackness.

You may even get a bite

in night’s closing net.

 

CH. You can’t escape from the night

darkness swamps the light.

That’s all around you.

 

 

Now there’s creatures stalking

when it’s dark outside.

Life goes on in the Blackness.

Are you afraid of walking

just wanting to hide.

 

Any sound seems all around

no way to escape.

Life goes on in the blackness.

Weird noises come from the ground

they take any shape.

 

CH. You can’t escape from the night

darkness swamps the light.

That’s all around you.

 

Your heart starts to pound faster

shadows become real.

Life goes on in the blackness.

Thoughts of an unknown master

such terrors you feel.

 

CH.You can’t escape from the night

darkness swamps the light.

That’s all around you.

 

How you long to see the day

to let your mind rest.

Life goes on in the blackness.

Those nightmares have passed away

at last you can jest.

 

The people of the night

have gone for a while.

Life goes on in the blackness.

As you greet the morning light

ending your dream trial.

 

CH. You can’t escape from the night

darkness swamps the light.

That’s all around you.

 

    The Foureyed Poet.

Motor Bike

The sound of your motor bike

fading into the night.

Were we really alike

was my idea right.

 

Should have been long gone

knowing deep in my heart.

But somehow you saw no wrong

so soon we’d be apart.

 

CH. Speeding out of my sight

into the fading light.

 

I kept waiting for your call

to say you’d arrived back.

Pacing up and down the hall

looking at your old mac.

 

You never did contact me

on that uncertain eve.

So stubborn you wouldn’t see

why did you have to leave.

 

CH. Speeding out of my sight

into the fading light.

 

With a worried shaky voice

your mum was on the phone.

she’d been given but one choice

hearing it in her tone.

 

Something had happened to you

how time seemed so slow.

But we had to see it through

when there’s no way to know.

 

CH. Speeding out of my sight

into the fading light.

 

No way can time be reversed

being so badly hurt.

You and that bike were cursed

lying down on the dirt.

 

Your tyres burst you hit the ground

nobody was to blame.

I’ll wait till you come around

our feelings are the same.

 

CH. Speeding out of my sight

into the fading light.

 

CH. Speeding out of my sight

into the fading light.

 

    The Foureyed Poet.

Haunted

In my thoughts did you call

how you sounded so very near.

I left my girl by the stall

why did she disappear.

 

    That soft voice haunted my soul

my feelings you’d known.

Lonely and on the dole

our love had been sown.

 

CH. I heard you so clearly

my heart longed for you.

All I said was meant sincerely

my heart longed for you.

 

    Did she want to be free

searching for her face.

Had she called out to me

this city’s a vast place.

 

    I walked down dark streets

seeing many poor ones.

Who had found total defeat

whose daughters and sons.

 

CH. I heard you so clearly

my heart longed for you.

All I said was meant sincerely

my hearts longed for you.

 

    Each shadow showed her face

terror filled my mind.

There seemed to be no trace.

you were a special kind.

 

    I came back to the stall

so near to the river.

You were there on the wall

we both started to shiver.

 

    We promised to stay near

mind and body together.

Both of us filled with fear

our hands joined forever.

 

CH. I heard you so clearly

my heart longed for you.

All I said was meant sincerely

my heart longed for you.

 

    The Foureyed Poet.
