Gold and silver in the night
Texaco sign burning bright.
There's freedom in her lies,
there's summer in her eyes.
She's far away now
cartoon lips, bottle blonde and how?
She sells her soul, crying.
Claiming she's happy and yet she's lying.
In the Sunset Boulevard,
she's living fast and playing hard.
Light up that sequin dress
in the spotlight and smoke, god bless.
Bless her young life, having fun.
Just drive till dawn in the sparkling midnight sun.
She says "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
She's slowly dying, drowning in the risen moonshine.
The girl with the Arctic Mind, left behind and she's doing time.
Broken down dreams are the crime.
Acrylic paint and golden curls
in the pink light, she dances and twirls.
Lives her life on,
depending on his paper love and his con.
Furs, diamonds and thick smoke,
happiness for her is turning out to be a sick joke.
She was the girl with the Arctic Mind.
all teeth and eyes
the road-man wears diesel and grease
he wears leather and jeans
his is the hard life
but he lives it like no other
the road-man is a mouthful of bullets and bones
and his eyes are dust and gravel
his motorbike's engine growls like a living thing
its pipes shine in the unforgiving sun
it runs the road like lightening
the road-man is a creature of the
high desert road
where dust devils and snakes crawl the
unforgiving landscape
he is a hard man to know
has not much to say
but you will never meet another man
so ready to lay it on the line
so ready to face the burning road
a dying breed
With one press of lips you walked away,



I wanted to beg please stay, please stay.



“Don’t destroy my dreams for I can change”,



But by that time you were out of range.



And the sun dipped its head into the grey,



And the flowers wilted onto their knees to pray,



The river stopped babbling calling for hush,



Crystal snowflakes turned to slush,



The birds ceased their twittering song,



And my heart weeped for you, so long, so long.
If God is real then I ask you to help me
If God is real then I ask you to save me
Like glass can shatter
so can my dreams
Like wood can break
so can my heart
Like life can die
so can my soul
Like a person without hope can give up
so can I


If God is real then I ask you to help me
If God is real then I ask you to save me
If God is real


If God is real then protect us all
Help us all
Save us all
at least
Free us all
Upside down telephone steps,
Diagnosed with perplexed paintings.
I felt it in my blood,
Pills rattling in the gutter of a bottle,
Lifes going no where,
Polar bear drowning,
Is the only sight I could see,
As I looked into the vortex of my future,
Crisp apples and new pencils,
Can't make me learn quicker,
Quickly I melt into an abyss of wondering,
Down a deep dark hole of nothing,

Sometimes I think about the time you told me, it was Blake who stole all the pills. But it was you. I think about what you did with the money. But today I lay upside down on the stairs, well, the ceiling fan turning rapidly. Suddenly thinking what would happen if it fell, would I lose my head? I laughed knowing I already did.
I hate it all haha it keeps getting worse. Jeeezzzzzzzzz I need to stop
Please take these pieces, I've swept and cleaned them. Gathered them from the gallows where my heart use to hang. I can't find forgiveness here, the warm wet tears gallop down my cheeks. The word "unloved"radiate to my core, you'll never be good enough. Your presence is a chore. Make up to cover up the ugliness you didn't know was there, until mentioned at the diner table. I've always been a stuburn girl, so I raised my head and snuffed. I am beautiful, I am. I could feel her smirk, from a mile away. Like a curse creeping in. The words spoke a hurricane into my soul. "Stand infront of a mirror undressed and tell me what's beautiful, I can assure you there's nothing". Hoodies & leggings, cover up all the mistakes, now im begging. Take these pieces, I've swept and cleaned them...
I hate her
I wrestled with the black sea
that brood inside of her,
but nothing I possessed
could stop that dark tide
from taking her.
The poem is actually a line from a short story I wrote about a man trying to deal with his wife's depression
