When You Are Not Here

You got me waiting up all night

Hoping you would come in through that door

I want you here by my side, only then can I feel right

My heart is as tangled as the bedclothes on the floor

My body is hot like I got a fever

My eyes are sore from crying a river

Oblivion

Burn, burn, I am burning
Quick! Douse me with fire
Pin prick sensation crawls over my charred skin
Claps of thunderous pain seeking to be released from my brain

Fear Perfect

I can't be them

They can't be me

We can't be us

We can't be free.

The laws we make

The rules we laid

A Secret Passion

I stood at the back of the hall
She saw me not
The clock ticked rapidly towards my fall
She moved further into his embrace – all is lost
The forgotten lover’s cry none heard
The lot of them knew not of my grief – dead
The priest’s pronouncement my final judgment
Husband and wife as they were meant

Black

Black

Colour of the night

Mysterious like a river in the dark

Enveloping everything right

Black is charred earth’s legacy

man’s cradle – civilization’s abode at infancy
