90s poems

FIERY LAVA

The fiery volcano spews out such beautiful orange fire by night lighting up the sky for miles around; people stare in awe at such a magnificent sight and they think of the power of the earth.

In a sudden hot breath whole villages are swallowed by the boiling lava streams,

huge lakes of  lava form, such deadly beauty and destruction. The power of the planet,

creator, destroyer.

 

ARABOTH

One day there will be a city built from the ashes of a nuclear war that killed 3 billion people. A city built to hold a million but they’re all dead ’cause of the war.

So only twenty thousand live there, in defiance of what they have all done.

For Mother Nature will strike them down and take Her revenge against Man,

for what he has done to Her only pearl. Araboth will die and so will its people whose forefathers have done this to the world.

Their final master will be a tidal wave two miles high, instant death…

FRACTURED YOUTH

We are the fractured youth of today.

We live and die on the streets, our town is a war zone.

No one is safe from the guns and the killing.

Fourteen-year-old kids shoot their brothers for drug money.

Look at our youth, they live and die on the streets.

Yeah, our fractured youth.

There ain’t any hope.

There ain’t any hope.

No, none at all ’cause this is our fractured youth.

ICE-COLD CRYSTAL MOON

I see the ice-cold crystal moon

glittering in the jet black sky

amongst the pin prick stars.

Oh, Great Moon Goddess

heal us with your white moonlight

and give us the love we deserve

until we are all one again.

This is our time, our place

where we will live our lives

under the light of the

everlasting moon

for ever and ever until we die.

The moon is one with us

as we are one with the planer

and the universe

is with the Gods.

Oh, Great Moon Goddess

heal us with your white moonlight

and give us the love we deserve

until we are all one again.

This is our time, our place

Where we will live our lives

Under the light of the

everlasting moon

for ever  and ever until we die.

BELTANE SONG

Here is the coming of summer

when the sun shines on the land

and the oak tree gives forth

his new green leaves

The deer run through the forest

people dance to the pipe and drum

all celebrate the kiss of summer

who banishes winter gone

We are all one with nature

as the Gods and Goddesses are with the planet

that is coming into bloom

with the scent of hawthorn and elder

For Mother Nature has smiled on the land

in this the time of Beltane

a time of new birth and happiness

and a time of love and healing

THE DARK TOWER

On the barren northern moors

lies a dark lonely tower.

No one ever goes there,

not a bird sings or a rabbit jumps.

This is the place of loneliness

and of despair and foreboding.

The sky is a leaden grey and

the wind howls around the tower.

Long lost souls cry for release.

Some may be your friends of long ago

or some long lost lovers of times gone by.

This is a night time place of the

lonely day.

A traveller comes along,

over these barren cold hills.

He sees the tower over the horizon

distant, far and on its own.

In a minute he is there

standing  before this stone monolith.

Slowly he enters the dark tower.

The stairs are steep and the walls cold.

Coming to the top he sees the souls,

they are of everyone we knows.

Just his presence there

will set them free.

Violet light hits the tower,

the sky turns blue

and the souls are free.

The traveller meets his long lost love

dead for a thousand years.

Now Lancelot and Guinevere are

together again.

BLUE SUMMER SKY

The sky shimmers in this English summer, the heat covers everything.

All the green meadows have turned golden brown in the sun.

This is the month of flaming June where all of the trees show

their green leaves to the sun, the sky.

Rain is scarce this time of year, for all of the reservoirs and lakes are dry.

There is not a drop to spare as the clouds have all gone away,

Yes, they will be back but many months later in the autumn.

The land is coloured so many colours, brown, gold and green.

Everyone loves the summer, all of the great sunsets and fiery blue skies.

KIA

Oh, mighty planet of fire and of ice,

you are the bounty of life

and of all things ever made.

You belong in all worlds especially ours

where the frozen water at your poles

and the fire at your middle heart

make all life yours to control.

Creatures of fire swim in

seas of molten lava

while beings of ice glide

over infinite frozen ice lakes.

All of your planet is a crystal ball

of energy that is life, is alive.

Now mankind reaches out

and comes to Kia for the first time.

In the year that went unrecorded

man came and fell in love

with your many multifaceted ways.

He has sailed on lakes of lava

And tunnelled icy wastelands.

He’s found types of life that he

never thought existed and he

was amazed to see them before his eyes.
