Mark Hopwood Poems

As the world keeps on turning inside of my mind
I feel my soul Burning, But the coils still wind
And I'm sat on my floor feeling kinda lazy
Thoughts flashing through my mind like I'm going crazy
...

There's a crazy wind blowing tonight
Engulfed in a grey fake paint on sky feeling
You know the feeling when things don't seem right
There's a strange feeling in the air tonight.
...

Someday soon I hope to be strong
I hope that one day I'll really belong
People will really need me around
Yes, One day I'll be found.
...

Behind their eyes they'll find that there's a hurricane
Twisting rapidly, Running circles around the pulsating brain
And in the centre, right behind the velvet shining blinds
There's a place of Souls, Spirits and Minds.
...

Can I take you on a journey to a place where
The world turns proudly and we breathe natural air
And we don't go screwing with the o-zone
Where we are really together, not together alone,
...

There's thunder in my clouds
Darkness covered net like shrouds
The winds in my soul are blowing a Gail
As it peers at death through an invisible Vail,
...

I know my dreams but they're out of my reach
The ship of hope has washed up onto the beach
I can feel my oceans slowly turning to sand
I try to hold on but they slip through my hand.
...

Smoke the grass, they say its always brighter
Your spirits in a bubble but floating away, lighter
And it gets the flame burning bright
So you can see the sounds and hear the sights
...

My eyes meander around the room
Looking for something to fix a gaze on
I caught a glimpse of a shining light
Then I blinked and it was gone.
...

My heart beats loudly
like the rhythm of a drum
Singing love in your name
This lonely heart has overcome
...
