Sonnet XVIII by William Shakespeare
https://www.speakpipe.com/voice-recorder/msg/xv04n534l3ljc64l
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d,
And every fair from fair sometimes declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimm’d:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ows’t,
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
It’s Not Enough for Me
I’ve seen you in my shadows,
I’ve seen you in my dreams,
I’ve seen you in your letters;
but it’s not enough for me.
To see you in the daylight
and underneath the moon,
to have you in my arms;
but it’s not enough for me.
To have you look upon me
with your gentle eyes,
with a smile that holds a lifetime;
but it’s not enough for me.
To hear your gentle laughter,
and feel your hands placed in mine,
to wrap my arms around you;
but it’s not enough for me.
I will love you forever,
for as long as that will be;
but even forever,
is not enough for me.
Been there!!!
The grass is always greener for me
this state I’m in
just can’t be,
I run to find comfort in the other field
only to find that there is nothing to yeld,
and no energy at all to build,
there is no comfort
it’s void of joy, peace and happiness,
Ive been running since I was a young boy
I run from my thoughts
run from my feelings
strait into the presents
of a heroin dealer!
This I do...
to push down the emotions
trapped by time
forever so revealing,
its my own soul,
I’ve been thieving.
I run from field to field only
to look back at greener pastures
If this goes on it will be sad fatal and disastrous.
I’ll die full of remorse
Tired old and full of regret,
Oh! curst oh! curst.
”This fields
the worst!
the worst”.
So first light I’ll be running
for greener pastures
” It's gotta work! I'm sure it'll work”.
Where the grass is always greener
Just to glimpse
a different scene
There.
So I can run from getting clean here...
”Not this field!
I’ve been here,
When? oh when?
will I wake from this bad dream,
dear?
”when you stop running from all your fears
thinking the next one will surly be greener,”
”I know this for a fact
cos it used to be me,
I was just like ya...
a vagabond trying to
get free and cleaner.”
But all I found is the grass is never ever going to be greener.
Sunshine.
Im now in sunny Queensland but moonshine got me leaning,
I wanna be clean
I'm off the ice
Making me feel right
About my plight
Sin city's behind me for now but
Next months it'll grind me out
Till I screen n shout
What's this life all about
If not struggle
I wish I could hug u all
The Americans the Buddhist Christian or
Even the next man
Put your faith in
Where blessed man!
