Today

Today there’s something wrong,

Misalignment in the stars,

Numbers that will not add up,

A North wind bringing chill.

Today there is no calm,

A restlessness untamed,

Cards that count for nothing,

A curse upon my name.

Today I walk in shadow,

No scar upon the land,

A fortune told in whispers,

By silver changing hands.

Today the walls closed in,

I stepped upon the cracks,

Faces from the past in trees,

Smiled down with mocking laughs.

Today I read of fate,

In runes cast by the gods,

Of lives both blessed and blackened,

And futures robbed and lost.

Today my eyes see clearly,

Today there’s something wrong,

I turned to face my future,

But you, my love, were gone.

Through the Trees

To slip between the black sheets,

As Winter closes in,

A burrow deep beneath the snow,

Unnoticed and unseen.

To feel the dark heart beating,

Now deep within my chest,

An old friend half forgotten,

A strangely silent guest.

To sink into the comfort,

A quilt that fits like skin,

To fall into the welcome,

That lies beyond the grin.

And feel the arms that wrap me,

In swaddling over tight,

And choke the life within me,

To leave me without sight.

But through the night I see you,

A truth beyond the trees,

Your nakedness my blanket

On colder days than these.

Something

Well I was older

Than my days,

Playing out my time

In middle ground,

Living like a monk

Unholy days,

Checking off the hours

A voice without a sound.

 

You gave me something

On that we are agreed,

Gave me something real

And not something I need,

You showed me something

Yeah, opened up my eyes,

Showed me something real

Brighter than the skies.

 

Well I was younger

Than you knew,

Killing every second

Assassin’s eye,

Leaning from the edge

A life askew,

Safety’s middle ground

And comfort’s easy lie.

 

You gave me something

On that we are agreed,

Gave me something real

And not something I need,

You showed me something

Yeah, opened up my eyes,

Showed me something real

Brighter than the skies.

 

Well you were stronger

Than you knew,

Living in each moment

Open eye and heart,

Captured every image

Living in the new,

Never knew your power

A perfect work of Art.

 

You gave me something

On that we are agreed,

Gave me something real

And not something I need,

You showed me something

Yeah, opened up my eyes,

Showed me something real

Brighter than the skies.

Here is My Heart

Here is my heart

Amidst the mountains high,

Their frosted glistening peaks

Rise with the beat,

Each steady pulse

That echoes through the air,

Falls silent through the snow

And hides me well.

 

Here is my heart

In racing waters free,

Dancing with a spirit

That feeds the blue,

Each flowing pulse

Brings life to other’s eyes,

Awakens senses new

And lets me be.

 

Here is my heart

In forest’s hidden glades,

Shot through with sunlight’s spire

In which to bathe,

Each silent pulse

With nature’s force conjoined,

Sees me rise in splendor

And lets me live.

Your Ocean

I dipped my foot

Into your ocean,

Felt the waters warm

Kiss my skin,

And wrap their arms

Around me.

I closed my eyes

And saw at last,

Felt the sweetest spay

Seep within,

And soothe the fear

Within me.

Headlong I dived

Into your sea,

Its rainbow colours

Swallowed me,

And here I’ll stay

My only home.

Strangers Then

We were strangers then

When you held

The silken veil so close

To your eyes,

The Moon’s promise

Dripped honey from

Your lips and seeped

Beneath my skin,

Naked wings spread

Like caramel

Their succulent temptation

Before me,

And I, with patterned eyes,

Lay open, exposed.

We were strangers then

When you held

Your lips so close

To my ear,

The Sun’s last tear

Bitter salt from

Your eyes washed pallid

On my flesh,

Failing arms spread

Like withered branches

Lifeless now

Before me,

As I, with empty eyes,

Lay open, estranged.

Remember

I see you in my dreams,

Always in the dark,

The part of me that died

When I was seventeen.

 

The laughter at my side,

The smile upon my face,

The look within your eye

From which I cannot hide.

 

If only I could,

(See through your eyes)

If only I could,

(See from outside)

If only I could,

(Remember)

What took it all

Apart.

 

Lost amongst the trees,

And blinded by the light,

Living in the shadows

Thrown over all we see.

 

The tears we never cried,

The things we could not say,

The faces that we lost

At least I know I tried.

 

If only I could,

(See through your eyes)

If only I could,

(See from outside)

If only I could,

(Remember)

What took it all

Apart.

If

If I were taller

If I were bigger,

If I were stronger

If I were wiser,

If I were braver

Wore my heart on my sleeve,

If I were driven

By glory or greed,

If I could charm

The birds from the trees,

Then the one that you love

It wouldn’t be me.

Sleep Away

Let’s sleep away
These winter days
In dreamscapes
You and I,
And dance on air
Our wing beats sing
A soundscape
To our love,
As hand in hand
And eye in eye
We hold each
Other’s love,
And trust our dance
No other saw
The footprint
Of our love,
And should the demons rise
I’ll take you in my cloak
Keep you always safe and warm
And kiss away your pain,
So let us sleep
These winter days
In dreamscapes
You and I.

Little Deaths

These hands

Complicit in the words

I write

The words

Which seem to hold the key

To me

The key

A lock that’s now forgot

In time

Forgot

The scars upon my heart

For you

My heart

I pour into these hands

Again

These hands

A party to our

Little deaths.
