Brambleshell
Oft I ponder long legged creatures traipsing through the trees, turtle shelled with bellowing calls that ricochet the leaves.
Whilst my head pillowed by moss mine eyes glaze towards the canopy, I search the palette of forest colours weaved as tapestry.
Unsettled winds traverse the sprouts that tickle at my upturned feet, my heart doth flutter reflecting on the being I may chance meet.
The gilded sun offers nay a thing hidden amongst obscurity, only when my vision ceases do I see the creature that I seek.
Whilst my head pillowed by moss mine eyes glaze towards the canopy, I search the palette of forest colours weaved as tapestry.
Unsettled winds traverse the sprouts that tickle at my upturned feet, my heart doth flutter reflecting on the being I may chance meet.
The gilded sun offers nay a thing hidden amongst obscurity, only when my vision ceases do I see the creature that I seek.

A Love Lull
Until the very end of me
There will still be you
A song in my mind
Glimmer in my dreams
Without rules without hype
Without the rest of the world
Intwined together happenstance
Our love unfurled
Underneath a harvest moon
Underneath the rain
Until the very end of you
There will still be me
-----------------------------------------------------------
Edges
Through the eye of a needle
At the end of paradise
Past a faraway stare
That's where you can find me
Fragile...
Until the very end of me
There will still be you
A song in my mind
Glimmer in my dreams
Without rules without hype
Without the rest of the world
Intwined together happenstance
Our love unfurled
Underneath a harvest moon
Underneath the rain
Until the very end of you
There will still be me
-----------------------------------------------------------
Edges
Through the eye of a needle
At the end of paradise
Past a faraway stare
That's where you can find me
Fragile...

A Crescendo Of Death
The Bell Tolls
Another soul doth depart from my family tree and soon the branches will all fall and it'll be down to me.
When death comes knocking, I'll not bend knee, I'll stand proud and tall. It's the final adventure, the final thrill and I'll take the call.
---------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, Midnight
I'm under no illusions we've a certain repertoire. I've danced so near you, challenged you, to burn out my star. It's a strange sensation to have you as my lover, to have you in my being where life is rediscovered....

Kiss Kiss Wish
Why can't we be like Robert Smith, just close our eyes and kiss kiss kiss, two love cats in the afternoon, oh why can't I be with you?
It's Friday and I'm in love, with all the little things you do, you're just like heaven, taking off, oh you're my favourite song.
I just want you close to me, pictures of you just won't do, another day at the end of the world, that's all I ask, one more twirl.

Portraits Of A Girl
A Picture Of Lust & Wanton
A chime, a twinkle, floats in the air, against my fingers, stainless steel
Upon my face, mirrored miles, full of grace, smiling smiles
Aghast, a gasp, breath behind, a grasp
You kneel down, mumbling prayers, the temple that is I
You thrust through, anticipating, the terminal trumpet
Entombed within, soft whispers impel you further
A final offering, so drown in my eyes, joy bound, heaven spent
-----------------------------------------------------------
A Polaroid
Dissolved, what's in a name
Dependant, on...
A chime, a twinkle, floats in the air, against my fingers, stainless steel
Upon my face, mirrored miles, full of grace, smiling smiles
Aghast, a gasp, breath behind, a grasp
You kneel down, mumbling prayers, the temple that is I
You thrust through, anticipating, the terminal trumpet
Entombed within, soft whispers impel you further
A final offering, so drown in my eyes, joy bound, heaven spent

A Hundred Faces, A Thousand Voices
Existence, Obsolete
You know, I know that you know I know what you meant when you said what you did to me and I just don't cry over the obsolete.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Missing
The mystery of immortality is the mystery. What good would it due you to walk around, a missing person?
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Eyes Say It All
I heard my eyelids having a conversation on whether I was sleepy enough to fall asleep, it went like this, blink blink, blink blink. ...

Or, Staring At A Popcorn Ceiling In Low Light While Covered Up In Bed
Stretched like the onyx canvas of the firmament, only to mirror the rapturing expanse of alabaster plaster.
Descending into this pillowy and fragrant garden of delights, where the warmth of sun and delicate clouds caress.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Doppelgänger Eyes
I've stolen the reflections from behind your eyes. Tell me your dreams, let me colour them, get you higher, higher, higher than an angel. I can feel the pulse of the universe in me...

Weightless
Cream coloured tub
Eucalyptus and rosemary
Doubled over
My nose pressed just below my knee and as I move it up
My lower lip drags against my skin
And then
I raise my bubble webbed hands and in a moment, I'm stuck
In some display of chaos theory worship, transfixed
Before submerging them and pondering
If everyone really does float down there
Beneath the veil
Down and floating
Down and sinking
Sliding and slipping
Until my hair tangles
Banshee whispers, crowd my ears
I tilt my eyes...
Eucalyptus and rosemary
Doubled over
My nose pressed just below my knee and as I move it up
My lower lip drags against my skin
And then
I raise my bubble webbed hands and in a moment, I'm stuck
In some display of chaos theory worship, transfixed
Before submerging them and pondering
If everyone really does float down there
Beneath the veil
Down and floating
Down and sinking
Sliding and slipping
Until my hair tangles
Banshee whispers, crowd my ears
I tilt my eyes...
