Fractals of pictures past
Run round my mind
Seeking solace in your arms
I weep, the salty taste of tears
Fills my mouth
The sound of subtle shushing
Soothes me
The darkness I see
Through scrunched eyes
Satiates me…calms me
But you know my pain
You know my anguish
You know what it is like
To lose a mother….

We were equal
Our opinions appreciated
Our views unchallenged
Our life peaceful
But we were foolish
We accused our neighbours
We waged political war
And now we must decide
A nation once united
A nation once certain
A nation that could part from peace
Perhaps
Just perhaps
There won’t be strife
There won’t be war
There won’t be anger
The bitter taste of loss
Won’t plague our mouths
We might be graced with good fortune
Graced with untold pleasures
That can only be found
Through a simple referendum
But is it right…
No!

Scarred by days so painful
A history almost made folly
By actions around you
Actions that bruised
Bruised the blanc skin
That protected you just enough
You watched the cherry blossom fall
From the cracks in your cage
A cage lit only by glimmers of light
Falling through the veins that lined the ceiling
Water veins from days gone by
Tis those same
Almost forgotten days
That have burned their mark
In places no-one ever thought to look
And now in the moonlight
You sit on the pontoon
Conjuring courage
Conjuring magic to rid you of your scars...

Take a chance to breathe
Fall into my outstretched arms
Take a chance to look and see
That there is no-one here for you to harm
Take a chance to grow your stalks
Bloom out into the heat
Take a chance and start to talk
Fall down and I'll lift you to your feet
Take a chance to learn and grow
I'll follow you all the way
And once you've learnt all I know
It'll be a better day

Come closer so that I can breathe
The fresh smell of strong mints
The warm air you radiate
Come closer so that I can feel
The wise touch of years gone by
The soothing sound of your beating heart
Come closer so that I can know
You will always be here
You will always make everything better
You will always love me...

Let my leaves unfurl
Let me blossom in your light
A thousand years from now
The world will bathe in my shadow
Taking solace from the ever growing heat
That falls in rays
Trapped within our land
By a thick, dense cloud of smog
The only calls are those of the extremophiles
Birds, fish, whatever they may be
All living on the edge of extinction
All adapting to the ever growing forest of fern
But not the green, luscious fern that grows today
A yellowed
Blackened
Dry
Fern
A plant that can no longer take the perilous heat
A plant that will no longer grow
A plant that might
Ignite
Death is already here for the plant
And is just around the corner from us…

Frail I am in this windswept and wave battered shack;
Forsooth this be thy home next to the pebbled track
Which runs alongside the barren lands of this bay.
Time sweeps past like the wind whispering with dismay,
Telling of the malignant humans, all but possessed,
I used to walk with those humans, all well dressed
And now set in the stones that line their graves.
I wish, oh I wish thy could have helped and saved
The fragile bodies that now lie skeletal along the sands
That used to ring with cries of joy like the musical bands
Playing so nearby in the bandstands of our city.
More a village twas but still such a song filled and pretty;
The same village now plagued with the deathly sights
Of darkened, dismal days and dank, musty nights
Truth be told I want to return to that heavenly place
But tis this shack that is my pen, my metal cell
Lying next to what is left of the place that fell.

A classic way of how to talk
The criticism on how you walk
The words you use everyday
Moulded like a piece of clay
What you wear and where you reside
When you laugh, when you cry
Whether you're rich or ever so poor
Whether you play and whether you score
Perfection is a concept made to scare
Made to question those that dare
Dare to do not what their told
Dare to break the dreaded mould...

Narcolepsy hard and heavy watch me fall asleep
Lulled to bed in a cunning thread of the tangled web we weave
I dream in pristine colors, windows of my mind anew
No fingerprints or ***** looks or evidence of you
I find comfort in forever wherever it may be
I may have left my home but it will always stay with me
The smell of all the smoke with the sound of all the rain
On constant playback every second deep within my brain
I found that time is all that matters and everything else faded
I spent years and years learning how to forget everything I hated
I've only gotten older and have nothing left to show
Except a ringing alarm clock and blood on my pillow
Narcolepsy hard and heavy watch me as I sleep
Another pill, another high, another date to keep
If I shall die before I wake, I hope that I'm with you
Then it won't matter where I go, cause you will see me through

To save your soul I'd cross the seas
I'd steal a boat and sail the breeze
I'd live life upon the run
Staring down many a guns.
To save your sould I'd search the caves
That lie across our childhood bay
I'd speak to god in a moment so mad
Praying in selfish thoughts so sad
To save your soul I'd go so deep
Into the alley where the homeless sleep
I'd pay a dealer for his woes
And once again off I'd go
To save your soul I'd break the law
Not even I know what I'd do it for
But once thing I know is what I would do
And who I would hurt just to save you...
