I want to be a dolphin
Swimming in the clear blue seas
Escaping from a robust angry world
Before it brings me to my knees
Gliding through the fishes
And twirling in the reeds
Bouncing on the sponge of a jellyfish
Riding a wave until it recedes
The seagulls will call my name
Seahorses will wave hello
A million miles from my life
Amongst the aquatic flow
The salt will sting my mouth
But that won't bother me
I'll laugh at all my problems
Cause I'm finally going to be free

She cry's into her clothes
Weeps like a baby
And I don't know what to do

He hits and scratches
Just doesn't understand danger
And I don't know what to do

Tomorrow we'll talk
All smiles cause we love him
And I don't know what to do

Then the cycle will commence
He'll repeat the process
And I don't know what to do

Until the morning
When we find it in us to carry on
And I don't know what to do

Locked out
Out of her kingdom
Out of her abode
Out of her sanctuary
Out of her haven
On her own
Watch the misery
She is angry
She is upset
She is devastated
She is livid
As her coffee hits the door
See sadness become smiles
As here comes the neighbour
As here comes the keys
As here comes peace
As here comes release
When she opens the door

The mirror cracks a thousand times
Into tiny shards of glass
Each one resembles my life
What has gone and whats to pass
Different stories and different times
Glittering in the pieces
Situations of highs and lows
Until the my energy ceases
The largest fragment cuts me
And i'm reminded of a night
When my friends drank to much
Causing us all to fight
A tiny slither of glass
Rolls around in my hands
I think of being younger
And sailing to distant lands
All the debris is cleared
Then thrown into the bin
Amazing how nostalgia works
Whilst plans start to begin

Running for its life
The fields seems so long
Foul dog saliva chasing
From a horse driven throng
Poor fox knows the outcome
The game is a nasty affair
It's jumps over the bushes
To escape hounds without a care
They sniff into the brambles
And bark a sweet delight
Their prey is completely cornered
As it cowers with fear and fright
The rest is just all history
Another successful hunt
They trot back to the club house
With the killer at the front

We glided along together
Idyllic and in utter calm
The bitter cold nibbled our lips
As I felt the warmth from your palm
Hand in hand we skated
Smiling and totally as one
You were my big sister
I embraced us both having fun
A stumble onto the floor
And a tear rolled down my face
Don't cry my little brother
I'll protect you in this place
It was then you became my amulet
From all the things that are bad
Security shone like a ray of light
And I felt oh so glad
Then I heard the sound
Of a crack spreading on the ice
You pushed me away in desperation
This game suddenly wasn't nice
Down you fell into the water
And silence covered my tiny ears
As your porcelain face floated beneath me
Confirming the worst of my fears
I sat and waited for hours
To see you emerge from the depths below
But ofcourse it never did happen
You saved me and that's all I'll ever know

On the bench of tranquility
I rest my weary bones
With drinking vessel in pocket
The wind she gently groans
Hankering for conversation
Into a slumber I start to drift
Blue sky filters my pupils
As my vision begins to shift
I'm dreaming of daffodils
A lump shapes in my throat
The pain pierces my chest
And my soul lifts and floats
Soaring over the fields
Ducking under the bridge
Unnatural supernatural pulling
Takes me into the ridge
There I see a miracle
A lady shrouded in white
She beckons me to come forward
And tells me to enter the light
