POISON

 

POISON

 

WRITTEN BY

 

JEFF R HILTON

 

2024

 

I USED TO THINK I KNEW

THE WAY IT ALWAYS WAS

THE WAY, IT HAD TO GO

JUST BECAUSE

NOW I'M NOT SO SURE

IF I'M

 COMING OR GOING 

EVERYTHING IS

SO MUCH POISON

ADDED TO THE MIX

SOMEONE CHANGED THE REASON

SAID IT CAN'T BE FIXED


WHEN ALL THE FEELINGS

 HAVE GONE

EMPTINESS AIN'T FAR BEHIND

IT CAN'T BE LONG

NO AMOUNT OF REASON

TO BE HAD

LIKE COMMON SENSE

WAS NON EXISTENT

JUST A FAD

 

SEEMS LIKE

IT WASN'T SO LONG AGO

EVERYONE SEEMED SO KIND

LOVE WAS ALWAYS PRESENT 

EASIER TO FIND

LOVE WAS

ALL WE HAD

DREAMS WERE

NEVER BAD

TIME

WE HAD SO MUCH

TO LOSE IT

THEY START A WAR

WHERE NO ONE

 WINS

THE POISON BEGINS

THE DIVISIONS COMPLETE

 

HEY NOW

I CAN'T STAY

I'VE GOT TO GO

EVERYTHING IS

 SO MUCH POISON 

THE FIGHTS BACK ON

KARMA

IS ON OUR SIDE

HOLD ON

IT'LL BE A WILD RIDE

SO MUCH POISON

GLOW

 

GLOW

2024

 

SEEMS IT ALWAYS

STARTS THE SAME

PLEASED TO MEET YOU

WHAT'S YOUR NAME

IS IT SOMETHING

I SHOULD KNOW

IS IT WHISPERED

ON GENTLE

 SUMMER BREEZES 

ON THE TIP

OF EVERY LEAF

BRING THE SUN

JUST ENOUGH 

TO SEE YOU GLOW

BRING ME

SOME KIND OF RELIEF

 LET ME KNOW 

 

MY ATTENTION CAPTURED

MY HEART AWAITS ITS FATE

IF ITS NOT TOO LATE

SUMMER NEVER STOPS

IT JUST MOVES AWAY

DISAPPEARS INTO TIME

FASTER THAN I CAN SAY

THIS DARK WILL

TURN TO LIGHT

THIS DAY, THIS HOUR

YOU MIGHT

FIND ME

STARING DOWN 

THE TREES 

IN THE SUMMER SUN

WAITING ON YOU

DO YOU KNOW I'M HAPPY

WHEN YOU GLOW

NEAR ME

 

 YOU KNOW I CARE ABOUT YOU 

HOW YOU FEEL

TOUCH YOU

TO SEE IF YOU'RE REAL

AND MAYBE

WE CAN GO FROM THERE

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY

MY INTENTIONS 

ARE MADE CLEAR

BRING THE SUN

JUST ENOUGH

TO SEE YOU GLOW

GOODBYE MY LOVE

IF YOU HAVE TO GO

THIS TIME WE HAVE

JUNE

 

WE DRIFTED

THROUGH ANOTHER NIGHT

INSIDE THE GATE

THE STARLIGHT

PLAYED OUT LIKE

A SYMPHONY 

WIDE OPEN

ARE THESE SKIES

ENOUGH

TO GET BY

JUST BEYOND

YOU'LL FIND

YOU CAN FLY

 TOGETHER OR ALONE

YOU'LL FIND YOUR HOME 

 

PIECES OF THE FUTURE

PIECES OF THE PAST

GO DRIFTING SLOWLY BY

THIS TIME WE HAVE

IS FLEETING AT BEST 

ENJOY THE REST

NO MOMENT WASTED

EVERY ONE IT COUNTS

FOR SOMETHING

 

FORWARD WE GO

RIGHT INTO STARLIGHT

TO DO WHAT'S GOOD

WHATEVER IS RIGHT 

DO WHAT YOU WILL

AS YOU CAN

DON'T EVER STOP

MOVING FORWARD

DON'T LET THE FUTURE

MEET THE PAST

MUCH AS I WISH THEY WOULD

THESE DAYS WILL NEVER LAST


WIDE OPEN

ARE THESE SKIES

JUST ENOUGH

TO GET BY

JUST BEYOND

YOU'LL FIND

YOU CAN FLY

TOGETHER OR ALONE

EITHER WAY

YOU'LL FIND YOUR HOME

TOWARDS THE SEA

 

TOWARDS THE SEA

 

WRITTEN BY

 

JEFF R HILTON

 

June 2024 

 

THIS YEAR

THIS MONTH

THIS DAY

THESE HOURS THAT

COME AND GO

JUST SIMPLY SLIP AWAY

A PAST SO VAST

IT ALL GOES INSIDE

A PRESCRIPTION OF SORTS

 

chorus 


LIKE WATER UNDER BRIDGES

JUST THERE ONCE

THEN ITS GONE

FALLING DOWN

TOWARDS THE SEA

JUST LIKE ME

A PLACE I LIKE TO BE

THIS MOMENT

THAT WAS JUST HERE

THIS SECOND PAST

NOW FARAWAY

NOWHERE NEAR

 

LIKE THE SUMMER SUN

MAKING ANOTHER RUN

TO MEET THE PAST

I STILL WISH

IT WOULD LAST

SLOW DOWN AND

NOT GO SO FAST

FALLING DOWN

 TOWARDS THE SEA 

JUST LIKE ME

A PLACE I LIKE TO BE

SMOOTH LIKE STONE

 

SMOOTH LIKE STONE

 

WRITTEN BY

 

JEFF R HILTON

 

June 2024 

 

 

TIME

WASHES OVER

WASHES IN

SMOOTH LIKE STONE

A STEADY VIBRATION

A WARM SALUTATION

AN ALTERED REALITY

CONTROLLED BY A PILL

FROM NO WAY

I'LL EVER TO

SURE I WILL

 

FREE WAS NEVER EASY

NOW ITS SO HARD TO FIND

 THE WORLDS SO COLD

THE WORLDS SO UNKIND

I GUESS I WOULDN'T

MIND SO MUCH

IF I WAS FREE

BUT LATELY I'M BEGINNING 

TO BELIEVE

I WILL NEVER BE

 

chorus

 

TIMES WASHES OVER

WASHES IN

SMOOTH LIKE STONE

A STEADY VIBRATION

ALTOGETHER

NOT ALONE

YOU COULD BE 

RIGHT THERE

ITS ONLY NOW ITS FAIR

TIME WASHES OVER

WASHES IN

SMOOTH LIKE STONE

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE

LIKE THIS

YOU DON'T

HAVE TO BE ALONE

 

WHILE I'M STILL

 IN CONTROL

OR MAYBE ITS AN ILLUSION

TO SOOTHE MY SOUL

SOME SLEIGHT OF HAND

THAT'S GONE TOO FAR

WON'T LET GO

TIME WASHES OVER

LIKE WATER IN THE SUN

NEAR TO LOVE


 

NEAR TO LOVE

 

WRITTEN BY

 

JEFF R HILTON

 

2024

 

THIS IS AS CLOSE

AS I DARE

I'D HATE TO BOTHER YOU

FIND OUT

YOU'RE NOT THERE

TURN ME ASIDE

WITHOUT REGARD

MAYBE

YOU WOULDN'T THINK  

ONCE OR TWICE

ABOUT IT 


 chorus

 

DARE I GO

DARE I SAY

I SHOULD KNOW

THAT'S JUST THE WAY 

SOME THINGS GO

SOME THINGS

ARE BETTER

LEFT ALONE

BUT SOMETIMES

YOU JUST HAVE TO TRY

THERE'S NO EXPLAINING WHY

A HEART

DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT

 NEAR TO LOVE

SOMETHING DEAR

SO VERY CLOSE

AND NEAR

CLOSE ENOUGH TO HEAR

YOU BREATHE

 

I CAN SEE IT NOW

I'D NEVER WANT TO LEAVE

HOW CAN IT BE

 WE COULD FIND A WAY

TO TURN THIS ALL AROUND

TO TURN LOVE

ON ITS HEAD

DO SO

WITHOUT A SOUND

DON'T LEAVE ME BEHIND

THIS TOOK SO LONG

YOU WERE

SO HARD TO FIND

 

REAL

  REAL   WRITTEN BY   JEFF R HILTON   DECEMBER 2024     WHEN ITS REAL IT GLOWS UNFAMILIAR  ALWAYS ON YOUR TOES YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S NEX...
