Liam Hughes Poems

Freedom, a birth-right or a thing to earn.
To make a change tables have to turn.
To discover truth lies have to burn.
Knowledge is no gift you have to learn.
...

The sky may be too high for me to reach
But I wouldn't like the feel of it anyway
The ones who say your obliged to teach
Do not have any knowledge to give away
...

They tell you that you have to hate.
That it's the thing for what you wait.
And if you're not careful you'll be late.
That your destiny is on this date.
...

I see beauty all around me
It’s in the sky
In the birds that cry
In the way they fly
...

With eyes like an ocean
Filled with emotion
They long for devotion
Delicate like a flower
...

The bells toll as rain hits the roof
In time with the horse's hoof
Hiding beneath the churches spire
Our hearts that know what they desire
...

You may grow to find the world is never at peace
You may think that love can't be in our mind
You may feel that anger will never cease
But we promise you love you will find
...

Children playing in the park
Praying that it never gets dark
So they can continue to laugh and lark
Hunting freedom just like a shark
...

It's hard to recall the minutes that drift by without haste
It's our own fault for letting them go to waste
But it's better to forget them as they cannot be chased
And the next one is waiting ahead for it to be faced
...

Through the darkness my soul does drift
Through the sands of time my hands do sift
Searching for answers to give my spirit a lift
They will not be offered to me as a gift
...
