Esteem

Beaten and bruised
My lovely muse

Alchemy

I cried for joy
That wasn't mine
I found the tears
In love sublimed

Coven

No need to ******
Came a willing lamb
Snap your unused lures
And paint my empty wool

Ballad

Black sticky balm
Percussions drum
It's flaming calm

Sweet icy chips
Sharp notes *****
Metallic lit

Red velvet voice
Seductress nice
What relished vice

Phoenix

My chest of ash
And hopeless dreams
In anger burned
In spite of meat

My flaming heart
And heated head
Defiance fed
A sparking wish

Trust

It started small
Like filigree

It bound the heart
A slushing sea

A pebble thrown
And contents poured

It filled again
And it was stone

Right

The south is fading
And grasses grey
The thistles pale
All minds they stay
