“Normality” people cry
And I can’t help but ask
Why?
A slave to the wage
Already trapped in a cage
What is it about life before
That you are all grieving so much for?
The freedom of which you speak
Having to book a holiday for a ******* week
Yes I miss a warm embrace
I want him here kissing my face
Technology overload
So ***** I’ll explode
Yet somehow I know
That back to ‘normal’
Is not where I want to go
When this is over
You’ll book that holiday
And take the next flight
To some far away place
To have the same sun
On your face
Then back to your cage
A slave to the wage
This simulation was not a success
Mother Nature cries
You’re all a ******* mess
She’s given you a chance
A time to pause
To reflect
To ponder
To dream
Yet you dare not ask
What does all this mean?
Do you sit there and wait
For world leaders
To decide your fate?
Will you choose to do good?
To have compassion for those
Where isolation is all they know?
Locked away behind bars
With their trauma and their scars
Out of site
Out of mind
They’ve been left behind
When this is over
I’ll ask myself the question
What do I yearn for?
And the answer will be
As it’s always has been
Freedom
From normality

Saturday night
She danced the night away
The night is over
But she still wants to play
Like the pied piper
She plays her tune
And friends, thieves and lovers
Fly from the moon
They’re excited to see
Disco ***** in all her glory
The musky hummmmm
Sweet and sticky
She likes it when
You give her bean a flicky
Her mating call
Is a sight to behold
Once you hear it
There is no escape
And like a Venus flytrap
She entices you in
So grab your snorkel
And dive into the depths
For are many treasures
That one can find
Disco ***** has nothing to hide
Evoke the Disco *****
For she’s always there for you
A sign of a magical night
Of what naughty deeds
You have been up to
And if you can’t remember
Disco ***** will be there to remind you

Scar tissue
It's ugly stuff
Though some people say
It's beautiful
In its own way
Like hardened lava
After the eruption
Of pain you once knew
Tugging on your soul
And heart
Making it hard to beat
Leaving you breathless
It's like a ghost
That haunts your every move
A reminder of the past
And of your strength
That you got this far
You made it through
Scar tissue
It's tough stuff
But so are you

If only I found it easy
To express my love for you
Why don't the words flow
Like they used to
You are my strength
And always there for me
I wish I deserved you
But that will never be
You've never left me
Even when pushed away
Despite my self sabotage
And harsh things I say
I've let you see my dark
Others only see my light
Yet you stayed with me
And held me every night
I don't often say the words
I love you
My heart is scarred by the past
But you know, I really do

*Smell the air
The scent of autumn mulch
The rain pours and pelts
Washing away the memories of summer
Leaves of orange and red
Clinging on to branches
For dear life
Not wanting to let go
I know how that feels
To feel like you're being
Pulled so hard
Every day
Bashed and bruised
Forced to go to a place
You don't want to be
Like the leaves
You eventually fall
Are trampled on
Over and over
But duty calls
It's the circle of life
Apparently
Then spring comes
And you wake
The sun is shining
And you can face the day
You tell yourself
It's all ok*

A big black cloud
I see it on the horizon
A storm of uncertainty and doubt
Coming closer and I wait
The fog rolls in and blinds me
Pain is so opaque
I cannot see
Fooled by the eye
It is not over
The worst is yet to come
When pain turns to sadness
It lingers and scars
Finally find my strength
And with it stand tall
I weathered the storm
Now the air is so pure
Breath in and out
Face a new day
Pick up what's left
And find happiness again

I wake, sweat sodden sheets
It was just a bad dream
But it felt so real and I'm scared
That I'll never see you again
One day you'll go
That much is true
Like a thousand knives in my heart
Every day of my life
I'll look in the mirror
And will see your eyes
With tears staring back at me
Wishing to see your face again
Morbid thoughts I know
But it's my biggest fear
To not have you close to me
Or hold you near

You're a funny a little thing
Your mama tells you so
When you're staring into darkness
At what she'd like to know
With no sound at all
You slink into the room
You sit there all wide-eyed
For it's the witching hour soon
Ears pricked and ready to fight
Your claws already drawn
You sit and wait expectedly
But all that comes is dawn
And when the sun appears
Your guard is up no more
You cuddle up to mama
Whose love you can't ignore

Blood pours, it hurts my eyes
In the darkness, I cannot see
It burns the fear, but anger remains
Takes hold, I cannot control
I see your face, it's blurred red
The smell, that sweet sick smell
Of metal and tears and pain
I want to cry, but the anger I feel
Grows bigger, the darkness forms
Your heart, it's poison buried deep
Twisted and insecure, ugly inside and out
If you could love, I'd try to understand
But you will always be afraid
You'll never be me, you'll never win
And neither will I, if I feel anger
My soul forever scarred, like my dreams
Thank you for showing me, how not to be.

Meandering, staggering, the squelch of fun
I cross the field of dreams
To step off the world, just for a while
Is all one needs it seems
You captured my heart, I cannot explain
What you do to me
The world outside, a thing of the past
I'm wrapped in a bubble of glee
You're good for the soul but that's not all
You take my troubles away
And if I could, no matter how I ache
A few more days I'd stay
But a few more days is never enough
I never want to leave
My heart, forever in your mud
The real world you reprieve
And as all the years go by
I never do forget
All of the joy you give to me
And I ain't seen nothin yet
