Sam Betts Poems

II knew you before I met you.
You're in my mind not in a place, you have no form you have no face, you drift around with feminine grace, I knew you before I met you.

Oh I knew I knew, one day it would all come true, I knew I knew, I knew you before I met you.
...

On a hillside in France I heard my heart beat amidst smoke and fire they sounded retreat
My comrades ran past with out even a glance then the enemy approached that hillside in France
I stood and faced them I felt so calm I held no weapon I meant them no harm
To try to resist I wouldn't stand a chance
...

Here's the Moon curser on the salt path and he won't let it be, he sticks like a cold shadow and he won't set me free.
Then the thoughts in yo head no one else can see, till they etch your face has you pass the gallows tree.
Jones left the creatures with their wing that bark, I said hey Davey you should have took those now they're smirking in the dark.
Though the dust flows through your veins your songs have left their mark it's and your face on the cathedral floor white skin with the facial spark.
...

I took you in I swallowed you whole
What's it like in there can you find my soul.
I drowned your talent and no one can see you fighting inside to break out of me.
...

Desert storms still blow today.
Today desert storm blew some sand to where my heads at, I'm once again reminded I'm still there, with sun scorched skin and sand stuck in my hair.
I breathed the dust from Beau Gests lost, I paid the price for Blairs cost, I wish I wasn't here with sun scorched skin and sand still in my hair.
They blew the storm and wont be wrong, my friends and I no longer strong but do they really care for sun scorched toms sand forever in their hair.
...

A silent gaze.
I see you through my vacant eyes, my mind still works you don't
realise.
I'm just the old man on the bed with strange thoughts running around my head, and so very soon I will go but befored that my friend you need to know.
...

Dwight J's Time to sleep.
No shame right now it will never come no one will ever know all I have done
Every deed I ever did or mistake I did make
My mind has held a copy that proves I am a fake
...

At first your look a monster I thought not green and rotten but white and taught.
Why did you look this way your vacant eyes took mine and then did stay.
A soulless stare did you possess I thought this my final sight I would witness.
I gaze down your lengthened arms up to this face I have no fear has I leave this place.
...

The man
You're a man that no one can see just myself and those closest to me.
I adored you I knew you could see but a lack of empathy made you oblivious to me.
The best part of me just dribbled with other one liners you'd often say
...

A boy in a leather coat.
He had a long leather trench coat when first I did see the man who would forever be closest to me
He danced with a style that envied me till I stepped out of the side lines and I wonder still?
We next met again in a room on the med, the boy I did envy was next to my bed.
