Waves break as I awake on the misty shore of my mind
Memories old and secrets told are what the ocean leaves behind
As the sunset sky drifts slowly by, I rise to stare at the sea
And wonder if this place I'm in is the home of eternity

The ghost of the guard still haunts my mind
He warns and scorns then leaves me blind
The ghost of the guard will visit my dreams
And plug the void where creation streams
I once had a friend who helped me cope
He provided healing antidotes

Though I was a madman
I don't regret a thing
For madness is an asset
When I'm fighting in the ring
A boxer though they called me
A warrior or a king
What others had to say
Was not as flattering
Let's look back to the night
As the... – by Tim Strauss | 80 Views added 5 months ago

There comes a time when statements turn to phrases
And phrases smooth to rhyme in rhythmic phases
Where your mind takes a seat as your heart takes the stand
Poetry comes in many forms when you finally understand
My mind is a circus tent, and... – by Tim Strauss | 93 Views added 6 months ago

Is not my perception art itself?
Can I be this bold to say?
That my mind creates this world alone
From depths of empty space
My perception alone gives light to the world
And darkness too I suppose
But the two combined create the mind
That... – by Tim Strauss | 49 Views added 1 month ago

I'm staring out from shadows
Peeking through the blinds
Witnessing atrocities
And breathing all the while
I'm canvased in hushed darkness
Hidden in the brush
Where tears are cried alone
And there is no thing as touch
I'm found amidst... – by Tim Strauss | 47 Views added 2 months ago

Cities rise from summers remnants
Where winter had its way
Through ice in spite, life broke through
And sprang from disarray
Where once was fallen now doth rise
Upon a breathless yesterday
It seems in death, life always finds
A path for a... – by Tim Strauss | 54 Views added 3 months ago

Be yourself out in the world
Shame not for goofing
Laughing, playing, mindless aloofing
Because in solitude, God will speak
And relay the secret of his mystique
You haven't got to worry about a bigger picture
The lord will give you glimpses... – by Tim Strauss | 39 Views added 4 months ago

Feelings are portals to realms of memory
Shadows of the divine
They are mystical personal electric currents
Echoes from an experience in time
Attention seeking; they beg us to see
The nature of our reality
Like smoke from a fire burning so... – by Tim Strauss | 47 Views added 5 months ago

Where is the endless highway?
Paved in sweet escape
Rounding turns of mystery
And lit by moonlight rays
Where is the lost highway?
A place of magic and glee
Imaginatively fortified
And inside you and me
I lost my way down the road
And... – by Tim Strauss | 51 Views added 6 months ago

The trees rustled an English whisper I heard so perfectly well
They were magical messengers sent to deliver a lengthy wordy spell
My ears could hear, my eyes could see, but I simply could not believe
The words they wrote right through my pen... – by Tim Strauss | 52 Views added 9 months ago

When you're in the ring facing a straight faced foe
Who's got eyes that stab while he lands vicious blows
A question is posed, will you stay or go?
Will you forgo what you know to create a fate all your own?
Or will you dance one legged,... – by Tim Strauss | 56 Views added 9 months ago

Situations in the present can bring to life ghosts of the past
Reasons for this upheaval I confess I haven't quite

Could be the time, could be the place, the people or even me
Could be chance, coincidence, fate or just... – by Tim Strauss | 53 Views added 10 months ago

Close your eyes and be still
Let your mind disappear
Follow the light that pokes through
And have no fear
Past the reach
Of sorrow and disdain
Will be a quiet place
Void of all pain
Encircling your soul
Guiding your mind
