A night of reflection
NIGHT OF REFLECTION.
Some is for healing other times learning or growth
Each time different but the same a soul level oath
There's no words to explain although life lessons were had
Each one a revelation some happy some sad
And as I move forward l left my painful memories in the wake
Because my heart rises with more love and less hate
This levels only reached through nightmares and deep fears
First Mammon is served till you clear those dark energies of early years
As I navigate through my psycy...

Love phases
Having crushes as a child
So much innocence
Just holding hands was enough
Maybe a winter's kiss
when your lips were blue
Chasing wild geese in the snow
Stopping there was easy
You didn't know who you were
what you wanted
But now you're grown
You've come into your own
Desire is apparent
When that special one appears
The palms of a lover
come so close to what's real
Living was easy
But loving came with a cost
Passion uprooted you
Feelings were tossed
Together...

You've come into your own
Desire is apparent
When that special one appears
The palms of a lover
come so close to what's real
Living was easy

Feelings were tossed

Him
I saw you in my dreams
and although we never met
Your darkened hair and golden eyes
gives me a familiar sense
Almost as if another world
Has escaped the grasp of time
To search for you in this reality
I didn't need a reason why
Your presence has returned to me
but only in my dreams
I can't help but find myself wonder
who you actually might be
and although we never met
Your darkened hair and golden eyes
gives me a familiar sense
Almost as if another world
Has escaped the grasp of time
To search for you in this reality
I didn't need a reason why
Your presence has returned to me
but only in my dreams
I can't help but find myself wonder
who you actually might be

Marshmallows
Set me free
release me from these chains
created by an image that never was
oh wicked slavery
that denies my humanity
there is no marble goddess
or burning inner flame
release me
to be human once again
to feel
everything
emotions of hate, envy, fear, lust
and yes emotions of love and lost love
this is my right as a human
to feel everything, to learn from everything
emotions that set me free
to create myself in my mind's eye
to hear heaven echo with my laughter
to...

Rinse & Repeat
I came into this world
The first of four
But don't tell mum that
Her head will fall
Don't stress my mum out
She's got bulk going on
With me Tez & Bub now
I had best move along
My choice to go but
U knew where id gone
Into the darkness
You'd torn yourself from
I love you forever
Even after the damage you done
I love him forever
Even after the damage he done
But know that I'm gone
Ive been fucked now for
What seems like a life time
Plus all those nights torn
Never...

See Me, Love
I see you,
you don't see me
You are older,
wiser
I am younger,
naive
I'm falling for you
You barley notice me
I can't focus
You're too captivating
The way you play your guitar,
a peaceful melody
Our love that could be,
clarity
I know you have a lover
She's so close to your heart
Why can't I be the one,
to have you in my arms
you don't see me
You are older,
wiser
I am younger,
naive
I'm falling for you
You barley notice me
I can't focus
You're too captivating
The way you play your guitar,
a peaceful melody
Our love that could be,
clarity
I know you have a lover
She's so close to your heart
Why can't I be the one,
to have you in my arms

Houseplant
I used to have a plant that I loved.
The ones before neglected and left it
alone in the dark. At the base, there are still scars
yet I stared in awe whenever I saw it.
It had pink flowers mixed with bits of blue,
with a slim, tall, and strong frame.
The pot was white with a round bottom,
with red spots exposed by the chipped paint.
I loved it so hard because I wanted it to thrive,
but maybe I did too much. Every plant is different.
There was already yellow at the ends;
I didn’t notice the overwatering.
It hurt to see the plant go...

Silent Killer
Loneliness
Is the colour of honey fermenting in a cold dark cupboard
It happens when apathy moves in and connection departs
It sounds like untethered screams on a phone unhooked
It smells like smouldering smoke of old burning hearts
It tastes like a slice of life with lashings of sacrifice on top
It looks like a hurt bird out of flight on my wall totally fucked
and feels like a mausoleum for all things nice a melancholic paradise

More Than Just A Pretty Face
Inside four walls a pretty face sleeps
She sleeps to dream as her dreams let her escape
Inside four walls a pretty face awakes
She awakes to a tormented mind and lost soul
Inside four walls a pretty face cries
She cries to get out the words she can't say
Inside four walls a pretty face listens
She listens for the answers to her unspoken prayers
Inside four walls a pretty face falls
She falls back into herself and back sleep
Inside four walls a pretty face sleeps
She sleeps again to escape
Inside four walls a pretty face awakes ...
She sleeps to dream as her dreams let her escape
Inside four walls a pretty face awakes
She awakes to a tormented mind and lost soul
Inside four walls a pretty face cries
She cries to get out the words she can't say
Inside four walls a pretty face listens
She listens for the answers to her unspoken prayers
Inside four walls a pretty face falls
She falls back into herself and back sleep
Inside four walls a pretty face sleeps
She sleeps again to escape
Inside four walls a pretty face awakes ...

one day
one day I will find the man that damaged you
I know his name L.W. I am coming for you
I don't give a damn if it was 40 plus years ago
you stole a teenage girls purity
for the sake taking her cherry
twenty five she was sixteen
statutory rape ring a bell
you've started a sing career
watch your back
your next gig I might be there
I know his name L.W. I am coming for you

Trapped
Sitting in an empty bar
on my little island,
half way through a beer
stuck in no-man's land.
Too long now
my life on hold,
too old now
to be too bold.
There come's a time
when it's too late,
to change lane
and trust in fate.
Other lives
across the sea,
up for grabs
but not for me.
Too old you see
to be free,
to give up
what leaves me empty.
So I ask
what's the best,
I can do
to make the most-
I'm trapped you see,
and the best on offer...
on my little island,
half way through a beer
stuck in no-man's land.
Too long now
my life on hold,
too old now
to be too bold.
There come's a time
when it's too late,
to change lane
and trust in fate.
Other lives
across the sea,
up for grabs
but not for me.
Too old you see
to be free,
to give up
what leaves me empty.
So I ask
what's the best,
I can do
to make the most-
I'm trapped you see,
and the best on offer...
