Of Waning

Set me free From the aches of this skin From the weight of a body All chagrin Hear the words I can't say Still afraid Choke on bile By a poison betrayed Pulling breath from my lungs Like a tear Whispers dance, and I turn, No one there Molten knives ricochet Off shrapnel coated bone In this excruciating night I hold it down alone Body twisting, poison arrows Endless rippling pain Muscles scream agony Amid the crippling strain Hunger's your friend little girl You've known him so long Deep inside fingers strum His near forgotten song The chasms so familiar Thoughts spiral into the void Don't you see, here again Is the place I'm destroyed Proven the weaker In this battle of wills Slower and slower My waning heart spills

Blood of Mine

With all the things I've carried You've always been there From my first breath Glaringly present in your absence With all the things I've carried Your empty eyes kept watch Never seeing reality Scarily absent in your presence Of all the things I've carried You'll always be the heaviest Blood of my blood From this dark day to my last

Weakness: Beginning of the End

We never fathomed A place where Love wasn't Our Song But with time and mistakes We slowly Proved ourselves Wrong

Life on Repeat

Between mistakes And yesterdays We sit paralysed and watch the days float There are tears here Just the way it used to be And we quietly, still Bleed our hearts away

Among the Stars

Azure gaze shines My supernova in the midnight sky Fingertips of oblivion Like dancers across my spine Everything of importance lives In these shadows between our feet The truth we thought we knew Fades to nothing in utter defeat Poles apart, north and south The world between your hands and mine Yet inextricably linked we are Magnetic pull like a blessing divine Meet me then at the earth's inner heart Let us dance in the land of dreaming Reshaping the very world's existence Long lost phrases now gain new meaning Four letters to shatter space and time Three words to restart my heart A breathless ache burns through sanity Let's forget where

*X

He is the stars Drawn behind my eyes Silver twinkling melancholy dreams Someday I am the waning moon Hiding under the treacle sky Eclipsed by shadows of Aurora Paling Phantoms reach Across our self-imposed skyline Sweet tendrils of passing fancy Illusions We become Skies torn asunder, by mo(u)rning Their golden-haloed new day Breaking He wakes Her rays of sun taste like lemons Mixed into his poppy seed words Deceit I slumber Count the hours on winter icicle fingers Till we return to twilight Nightmares And we remain No more than a world apart But never any closer Someday...

Denial

Sleep evades me like a shadow at midnight On a lonely road beneath a broken street light Funeral flowers wilt like childish dreams Blind disbelief, another coffin gleams Senses lose faith as you fall into the fray The waves of hopelessness wash your heartbeat away Ashes exile our joy upon the breeze of death Swirling into the endless sky like a final breath

Drought

Drinking life out of this body A longing for water rises Every muscle consuming itself To survive the petite demises Skin retreating around bones Only skeletal fingers to reach The withered throat failing A voice too parched to beseech Internal organs shrivel Life pulse slowing to a murmur Dark red ardour dissipates Leaving a deathly ashen pallor Every endeavour to stir Shoots agony through phantom limbs Gasping for air with lungs of dust The light of life in eyes dims Desperate back curved in agony Piercing feet skitter up a spine Scattered thoughts lose sanity Pray for salvation divine Mouth thrown wide The abysmal, inaudible scream Ha

Arachnid Ardour

Intricately spun webs of sticky treacle words Drawn like a moth to the reflecting glow Escape, fly away Before it's too late Alas, overcome Mesmerized by the danger stuck here, again Eight legs draw nearer whispering love all the while no harm, my sweet, no harm Long careful fingers reach forward to touch Inching closer yearning for bliss of contact Finally, softest limbs with sudden malice Skin sharpens in lust Devouring with toxic infatuation Joy becomes panic all too soon Too late now, too late Again Trapped by this most beautiful murder Silly moth didn't you see that your love is a spider?

Asylum Seeker

this corridor is frozen                              again all thoughts slow....                        to a pain hands tied behind my back,                  no way to get them free you scream into the dark night like you’re calling for me feeling trapped inside these very walls every tear you cry                 every scarlet drop that falls                       whips my helplessness                             insignificant & powerless my words hover far from bringing peace unable to help bring you clean release too                         removed,                too

A Mere Hour

Morning,  a foreign concept beneath this night Hold a candle to the mirror,  see darkness despite Labelled a mere hour of pleasure,  worth measured in skin Again & again..   only treasured in sin Emptiness recedes the constant dull voice of pain Cut by his bitter shards,                                       my choice of stain Meet me in the valley in the final hours Can't you see it's my soul that your touch devours?

A Corner Report

I wrote your name in a tiny corner of my heart Where no one would ever get to see it I wrote your song on the back of my hand Where it waits for the day you let me free it I stored your voice deep in the folds of my embrace Where I only need listen intently to hear it I hold the image of your face behind teary eyes And I feel your skin as if my soul is near it You told me you could never love me You said let's just be friends I wanted to say don't do it But this is how it ends I stood watching your back walk away I fought sadness for unspoken things I wanted you to stay touching me But we never know what tomorrow brings..

Broken Throne

Worshipping at unworthy feet,  glorifying the wrong name This way of life turns       my face away in shame Bruised knees still bend      in submission a little girl still fights           for recognition Trying to break the habit,       can't bow here anymore This undeserving king          is a ghost of those before Gave everything I had and got a knife wound in return Every time my heart beats   I feel the wounds burn This evil dictator   rips my every page My heart full of love,   has now turned to rage Praising on my knees  like foolishness alone But always still bowing   before a broken throne

Firefly

Fire rains from your hands Tumbles down onto me Befalling my life like A tragedy I’m left with only embers Ashes fly in your wake Rise again; from death Replay my phoenix mistake
