Liam Hughes Poems

After I've taken my final breath
Will the world wonder where I've gone
When it's time for me to live my death
Will the light I've lit be shone
...

To you she is perfection with nothing to lose or gain
With her things are elaborate when they started out plain
Her scent and her beauty drifts its way into your dreams
Eventually you wake and your world weakens at the seams
...

I look around me and see a corrupted system
The impure members think they're owed wisdom
My hand is firm and irradicates the dirt
Prevents the unworthy from causing more hurt
...

My ears are now able to hear.
No longer held back by what I fear.
The truth now feels so sincere.
As long as I still have you near.
...

When the world outside begins to crumble
The cold water rises as you begin to stumble
And your hands begin to numb and begin to fumble
Lose your place on the page
...

Red sky in the morning
And as the day is dawning
The soldiers begin their mourning
They did not heed the shepherds warning
...

A prison within a prison
My choices lead me here
Every fatal decision
Has laid the path so clear
...

All the lessons that I've had
They still linger in my brain
Sometimes I think I'm mad
But I'm not I'm just insane
...

Going faster than time itself
Keep your head and keep your health
Your mind is numb can't control the thought
It's time to teach what you've been taught
...

Voices drift in from the endless night
Telling you they long to see the light
You whisper to them don't give up the fight
one day they too will have the gift of sight
...
