Chaos is what killed the dinosaurs, darling. / / Marina once told me that we only remember what never really happened. It would take me a lifetime to understand what those words meant. But I suppose I’d better start at the beginning, which in this case is the end. / Carlos Ruiz Zafon / / Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. / Donna Tartt
The butter started to glisten with fear
In the face of the icy saucer
In the silence the sound of the basket reciting angrily-
There was no place for an affair with
The strawberry jam.
So sickly sweet
The pleading knife resisted;
Don't make me do it
A smooth slice,
A pale & hard interior.
The shaking jug cried.
And the jam fell to the floor.

We were wild and eager in the cold,
Wanting to explore
Life lived by each minute-
Shot-
We wanted more and more.
And these are the nights remembered, in September
And we were told to enjoy them, remember, September
You have just one chance,
Don’t you know that child
Drink, smoke and dance,
Don’t care,
Go wild
Have no regrets, you shouldn’t care,
Please that’s what they say
But we feel pain, tears pour like rain
When we wake up the next day
But those are the nights remembered, in September
Force yourself, enjoy them,
Those nights,
In September
Go insane and feel no pain
They don’t know what to say,
When you wake up and look around
At the hurt caused the next day

Every time you think of me I'm thinking of you.

Please say you remember
The ages that have past,
A family so large with one woman in charge
The time it moves so fast.
A history repeated
Through the paths of time
A soldier, a sailor,
A prayer and dream maker,
All encompassed in some crime
Many children, different mothers,
Adopted, born in sin
Amongst tears and blood and a five year long flood
Their drive was just to win.
As one was added, one was torn away,
Listen, beg for them to stay.

He stood up above the crowd
And yelled speech in hand
Nice and loud
*Yoghurt covered, chocolate coated
We are all the same underneath*
Peanuts
And the crowd cheered and gloated
Wait said one
I'm a raisin, not a nut
They all turned towards him and stared him down
And one by one their doors closed shut

*The man and the mermaid.
One drowned
And one died*

Haunt your mind and haunt your soul
Beneath your skin, beneath your head
Beneath your nails, beneath your pen,
Beneath your sheets, from what you said
Into your food, into your drink
Into your scent that rains on down
Into your thoughts so you can’t think
Your face is dark, a twisted frown
You cannot run
You cannot hide
From your cold and hidden pride

Before I leave,
I’ll say good bye
Look into your eyes,
Just one more time
Slowly slowly turning; slowly slowly turn
We move together.
That I won’t miss you,
I can’t lie
Hold you in my arms,
I don’t dare cry
Slowly slowly turning
Slowly slowly turn
Moving together
So please stop your crying,
I’m leaving
There’s no point in grieving
Your soul, it won’t turn black
This fighting war and trying war that kills more than just lives,
You’ll be with me when I attack
Each time I start to kneel, I just try not to feel,
My soul will die, or I will die,
But that keeps me alive
Every time I start to kneel, I try just not to feel,
My soul will die, please I can’t die
You need me alive
It’s
A fight,
I go towards the light
And people try stopping me and I can feel you calling me
With all
My might,
I clutch your voice so tight
As I lose my sight
Each time I start to kneel, I just try not to feel,
My soul will die, or I will die,
But that keeps me alive.
Every time I start to kneel, I try just not feel,
My soul will die, please I can’t die
You need me alive

If you want to feel safe,
Or even just calm
I know somewhere that you can go.
Find a bathroom stall- nice and clean
Make sure there are no gaps above the door and walls
No spaces high
And no spaces low
Sit on the seat, touch your finger tips to each side
Close your eyes and stare at the smooth surface
Leave your worries (or your mind) outside
It may sound crazy
Or a bit bizzare
But give it a try
It isn't far

Ctrl + C me onto your heart
Ctrl + X me out and hang me above your bed
Ctrl + V my words into the poetry of your thoughts
Ctrl + S me from these lonely nights
Ctrl + W the door and let's dance
