Electric eyes that try and see,
yet you think you know me,
the truth makes you squirm,
yet in credance you will never learn,
It's the essence of your belief,
hollow pots that are full of grief,
tantric words massage your soul,
shouting words from a fathemless hole.
you think you can take it all,
but a trip always precedes a fall,
there's alway something left to sell,
but no more words left to tell.

I see the twinkle still in your eyes,
the grey clouds closing in on your smile,
ambiguous laughter still echo's in my ears,
ghosts that walk through the shadows you cast,
reaching with a hand I cannot touch,
grasping I wish to touch your soul,
there are tears but only in my eyes, not yours,
I see it tearing you away,
like a desert carcass waiting for the rain,
disappearing, fading, translucence.
if I could only wear your mantel,
takeaway the weight from weary bones,
time to rest your head on my shoulder,
sleep only sleep, my sister, sleep,
tally with me and we shall ride the morning.

If you could feel what I can feel,
Sleep would be kept from you too,
Watching the sheep count my dreams,
Waiting for the rain to start,
Torn into pieces before the dawn,
Phantoms twitch into life,
They watch me squirm on the edge of a knife
Imaginary tunes ring in my ears,
Dancing round the room held up by strings,
Never ending words upon a canvas soul,
fluttering ribbons on a maypole,
Waiting for the clocks to laugh,
The mists of time choke my breath,
If you could feel what I can feel,
Sleep would be kept from you too.

our mouths go dry,
our actions get lazy,
our anchors unmoored,
our directions change,
our bearings are misaligned,
our charts remain unplotted,
our complacencies swell,
our greed metastasise,
our ignorance nurtured...
*How then,
would our story end?*

Deep within
Under my skin
I am the worrier
You are the scar
Silent you are
Beneath
I am the worrier
You are the scar.

There you sit on your stand
Waiting to be played
Calling me
Play me play me
As I pluck your strings
The dark deep sound
Deep within
My beautiful bass.

On the ground you swirl around
In and out among the graves
Slowly and silently
And as the church bells chime
Silently you disappeare
Until another day.

I see you in the water
I see you on the water
Floating gracefully along
In the mist
Like a white Swan
My beautiful water ghost.

"Egg Shells"
Tip toe tip toe
Silent foot steps
Tip toe tip toe
Walking on eggshells
Tip toe tip toe
Too afraid to talk
Tip toe tip toe
I'm walking on eggshells

You told me no one would come,
never listen to the voices in your head,
walk on paths that lead to the dark,
to the moonlit heavens amid the stars,
take to the old wooden ships,
ships that sail to those ports in your mind,
the vanity contained in your youth,
the way the curtain always falls on your truth,
smiles that hide in the gardens of solitude,
heinous streams at the back of your soul,
hands held out, make me grasp hold,
take me away, take me off the grid.
