Alas, a time has come to say farewell.
But as I leave, I hope that you excel.
The roads been tough, and we've pulled through.
Doing what all artists do.
So long my friends, who share this gift.
I hope that you won't go adrift.
Good luck for the future. And forget the past.
As life moves on, this will not last.
I'll still write, but to myself.
Again, I wish you all the best wealth.
Cheerio, for I must go.
Thanks to all who loved me so.
Time has come to pass, and for the best;
The youngsters prepare to leave the nest.
Goodbyes and farewells are not far away,
When months have shortened into days.
To those who aid, help and teach,
We'll promise not to be out of reach.
And when a time has come since then,
We'll return and meet again.
If time is not what time describes,
Swiftly, then will years subside.
If all our hoes and dreams come true,
We'll always have a space for you.
Dark early morning, a chill is about.
Freezing your skin and your body through out.
Look out the window, and what do you see,
A whitened road and snow covered chimney.
Brush off the frost outside of the window
Close it back up, to stop the airflow.
Go for your blanket to stare out again
Tiny far foot prints down in the lane.
Look at the sky, view the cool greyness.
Rap up tighter from the frozen furnace.
Notice it going by the rain now falling;
Melting the snow on this Christmas morning.
Watch all the white turn into black.
Like receiving the coal from Santa's sack;
You cannot see now, the rain covers the glass.
Stare in wonder
Seal the entrance, close every door on me
Shut light out, throw away the key.
Chain up my ankles, tie up my hand
Put a cage around me, fill it with sand.
Leave me alone to rot in the dark
Don't give me food, or make me eat bark.
Take away my air, and leave me to die
Just know I'll keep strong, I know I'll try.
Break my bones and puncture my liver
Punch and bruise, and then let me wither.
Hide me from sight, and those that I care,
Torment my mind, if only you'd dare.
Turn friends against me make me the sinner
But they soon know, that I'm the winner.
Lie and deceive, but I know the truth
I serve my turn, and I'll find proof.
Hid
Silence falls across the land,
With many males that lie... not stand.
It's unusual to hear no screams
No whizz-bangs and guns of any seems.
I glance at a picture, that was sent
From Harry of our regiment
And inside my mind I can't help but see,
Those bodies that are haunting me.
The cries of men, the squeals of shells...
I wake to hear the chiming bells.
The church and all are in saddened glee.
Of those the brave acts did free
Us from the enemy.
I sit alone within my chair,
And even though there's no-one there;
I still hear those teutonic days
(Where men killed men in different ways)
I wish I'd died, to rid this pain,

A Matter of Life or Death?
Raining days, and summer sun
Has the best already come?
Dark and grey, black and white.
I guess that everyone was right.
Mirrors smash, buildings fall
The Sun has stopped for us all
Mountains Crumble, Earth decays
Hopeless, found in many ways
Street lights brake, stars fade
Life was an accident that was made
Rock on rock, boulder on boulder
coolness in the air that makes us colder
Picture a shadow lost in the night
Nothing to cling to as there is no light
Picture a farmer, without his cattle
Nothing to eat and cause a rattle
Love what you do, and be what you can
Fall for another, work with a van
Climb Everest, dive in the deep sea

If ever there was something good
like meeting someone new.
A friend among your neighbourhood
who wants to get to know you.
And if you feel so great inside
where everything is right.
There'd be no need to run and hide
your secrets of the night.
But then again there are some things
That make you want to cry.
Hurtful words, unpleasant stings
like a needle in the eye.
And if the world could leave you
It would leave you on your own
As there is nothing it can do
When hurtful things are sown
into your soul and in your mind
you ask your self the questions.
No helpful answers you will find
Just lots of stored aggression.

She seems so near and yet so far away.
Far from the love that now has gone astray.
The love was weak but seemed able to grow.
But now it seems that I will never know.
Damn you Cupid, How dare you blind her sight?!
As now I live in darkness from the night.
Drunken days, the nights I will avoid;
As of the love we had I did destroyed.
If a second chance be me a given,
I'll live with you forever in heaven.
Your love will always keep me hanging on.
For I will surely cry if you were gone.
So, hun I plead to see you no more harm.
Your space reserved within my loving arms.
Only wish to feel your angelic touch,
Because; my darling dear,
What life created causes pain?
What love leaves you left out in the rain?
Why does the earth crumble at my feet?
Should I just lie out in the street?
There I should die, no warmth or shelter.
Then lie in the gutter, my life in a helter skelter.
Rapidly falling to it's demise.
Or my waist shrinking to a nothing size.
How can the world be full of misery?
That, to me, is a mystery
That will never be told.
As my pain unfolds.
Throughout the cries of several men
I feel it on my skin.
On my breath and in my eyes
The countless pain within.
The trouble brews inside my soul
Bubbles, boils and Splashes.
I can't go on much longer
In the cold and icy ashes.
(Conditions a phoenix couldn't live in.)
Yet here I am, standing in the blaze of flakes.
And evermore exhausted by the heavy pricks and aches.
Alone in in the winter sun, I count my hopes and dreams.
I think of what I would like to see, and not what it all seems.
Alas, a time has come to say farewell.

The Beasts Last Wrath
As she opened her eyes, day turned to night,
As dark clouds covered the sky like a swarm of hornets.
The sky and the sea, and the sea and the sky, became one,
As rain fell hard onto the river like shooting bullets.
The wind whistled harshly through the lands winding architecture.
From behind her, she could hear the fierce beast prowling his way over,
As his every step pounded like the beating of drums.
Knowing he was hungry for battle, revenge, and blood,
She pulled out her shimmering silver sword, and held a tight grip to it,
As the mud on her hands cracked in the creases.
Turning around, they locked eyes, and he roared

Shades of Shelter
Perfect figure, with beautiful hair,
Perfect clothes, and a smile so fair.
But in the back of the classroom afar,
She sits wearing with sunglasses
As black as tar.
The thin covering over her eyes,
Hides the window to her soul,
Any unspoken lies.
Everyone is always full of wonder,
Of why she hides herself under.
The answers not because she's blind,
Nor because she hates her given eyes.
But because of the troubled life,
she lives every day,
No wonder she has such
little to show or say.
Her sunglasses work not as
a fashion statement for her face,
But as a one way window,
A shelter, a safe place.
As I stare into the clear, crystal blue water, I realize how mudded my life has become.
How I've let people throw rocks at me, just so they can watch me break.
How I've thrown rocks at myself, just to see how far I can be pushed.
But as the water snakes between my toes, I'm forced with a hard realization;
Life is nothing but a river. You have your ups you have your downs,
But at the end of the day you're still here.
No matter what hardships have been thrown your way,
You're still there.
Beating them out.
You may not be winning, but you're not giving up the fight either.
The river symbolizes what every person should be.
Strong. U
I never believed someone could truly be heartbroken.
I always thought it was something people said they felt, but never truly felt it.
I always thought the term was overused.
Like it had little to no meaning.
Now I know I was wrong.
The term heartbreak?
Real.
At least for me it is.
You can't imagine how it feels.
To literally feel your heart breaking in two.
I feel like nothing is ever going to fix my damaged heart.
It's broken beyond repair.
And the worst part about this?
You feel your heart breaking,
But you can't do anything to rectify the situation.
You are where you are,
Whether you like it or not.
But no, not even tha
Oh tell me? What part did I screw?
Oh tell me? What detail did I miss? What feature did I overlook?
What feelings did I leave unacknowledged?
Oh I have loved you! In every breath you wasted weeping, every tear you wasted falling, every lonely night you surpassed by yourself, all feelings you locked in within your aching beating heart of blood.
And you crush yourself, you blame yourself for everything, and I just stand there, waiting, hoping... Desperate for you to see me, to know I'm there for you.
And although it cuts me, I stay away, although I'm hurting, I smile, I laugh, I play, I tease but oh trust me, a heart I have burned lyin
I am Eighteen and I write poems as a hobby. I'm into acting as well, I used to go to a drama club down in Gloucester, but it stopped for the older group. I go to Ribston 6th form. I mainly write about me and other emotions, but at times there just random. I do also like to write my own songs, although I've only written two.
Dear all,
Change of plan, I've decided to keep this site, however I won't be publishing any more poems on here for a while, unless convinced otherwise.

I can't believe it's a few months out from a year since my last journal entry. University applications and student finance are miles from my thoughts!
Well I haven't made any new poems recently (or those I want to share). But I plan on doing so during the summer. I'll have the whole summer from the 21st of June onwards to create some more to the people who read them :P. I know that's not many atm but hopefully I'll get more watchers over the next few years.
Before I sign off, I'm making these more like diary entries as they'll be neater and a bit more detailed. Have a good summer! :)

It has been ages since I've written a Journal Log!
As you can tell I have been very busy, with AS Exams, summer holiday and coming back to school for A2. However I have uploaded some more poems for people to come and see if they please.
I will try and do more on this site if possible but as this is my last year of A-level, i will pay more attention to that.
Thanks
Ashley xD
I don't know how to do it :L haha but yeah, I just see poems as me and I don't really care if people see them or not :L it's something for me to reflect on. My escapism haha. but Thank you for your comments I hope you have favourites xx
