If only I had known back then,
That you were all hot air,
I would have run away and then,
Washed you out of my hair,

The love we had felt real to me,
You did a splendid job,
Your acting skills were so on point,
But now, you're just a ****,

The plans you made behind my back,
They've all become so clear,
The single pictures you would take,
And have done for a year,

Perhaps it's my fault, I don't know,
I should have seen the signs,
Deception from the one we love,
Just ******  with all our minds......

She sits at night spinning spells of love and luck,
Splashing over hair, then hiding under rocks,
Chanting affirmations over darkened mirror,
Making talisman with earthly blessings for the wearer,
Waxing moon, waning moon, full or half or crescent,
She will make it go away or teach someone a lesson,
Your deepest wish she'll grant, for that is the hat she does,
She draws upon the ocean tides without a hint of fuss,
But never will she use her power to hurt or mame or ****,
A hedge witch only beckons love, but not against your will,
An alter made from beauty, with the softest female touch,
And vestments worn with good intent, to bring to you so much,
Next time you see a hedge witch, tilt your head and say hello,
As she may help you out someday, and you would never know.

The gods and goddesses,
They gathered,
Deliberated,
And decided,
That I am to be yours,
I thank them daily.

Peering roung a corner
Ever searching for the one,
But not of love or glory
But a knife, a dart, a gun..

Looking for the culprit
Ever on your tender hooks,
Unravelling a story
In your head, regarding looks..

Paranoia deepens
With each  day you do without,
You've thrown away your meds now
So you start to prance about..

People see your moods change
And they act accordingly,
The intervention starts now
How you wish that you could flee..

Back to taking meds now
As you promised everyone,
The cage is built around you
Until next you try to run..

A work of fiction...ish

The night was fun,
She felt quite drunk,
The taxi left without her,
She wrapped her shawl,
And shed her shoes,
The night was all about her,

She walked and sang,
Quite merrily,
So unaware of danger,
A shadow showed,
A figure pounced,
She stood to face a stranger,

Her eyes were wide,
She shrieked with fright,
His knife rose up to cut her,
Her throat gaped open,
Her blood flowed downwards,
Her flesh sliced up like butter,

Excitement grew,
He felt the rush,
And moved on to her gut,
His knife took on,
It's own cruel life,
He continued with his eyes shut,

The moon gave off,
An eerie glow,
Blood tasted just like wine,
Another fix,
For lord Mountjoy,
Strolls home to plan next time....

At this table,
We do not swear,
At this table,
We show respect,
At this table,
We love, only love,
At this table,
We share our day,

In this home,
We do not strike,
In this home,
We do not spite,
In this home,
We show love, only love,
In this home,
We share our sanctuary,

I'm sat here quietly, eating my tea,
My dog is here also, staring at me,
She's just had her meal, so why is she looking?,
She munched at it happily, while I was cooking,
Her eyebrows are raised, and she's sat bolt upright,
She'll raise her paw lovingly, poor little mite,
Or is she just greedy, and wanting it all?,
I should banish her from here, into the hall,
The both of us staring, with gazes so bold,
And while playing this stare off, my tea has gone cold........

When he's looking into your eyes,
But gazing over your head...

When he's saying aha, aha,
But he's thinking so much more...

When he's holding you,
But feels stiff as a board...

When you're sharing a meal for two,
But it feels like you're there alone....

It's time to ask yourself, is he really there?

Can I drink you in?
Will you swear it can happen?
Come and quench my thirst.

Time,
Where does it go?,
Does it join the back of the queue,
Like some never ending carousel?,
Coming back around again and again,

It's been a year now since you left us,
You left us, to join the back of the queue,
But not to come around again,
Never to come back around again,

Your queue took you somewhere else,
To some other time and place,
More like a train than a carousel,
This train never comes back around......

Time,
Where does it go?.......

The first,
Finding myself,
Discovering the nurture,
Realising the impatience,
Encountering the unconditional love,

The second,
Oh, the second,
Sheer bliss,
For a while,
Then,confusion,

The third,
Mastered it!,
Yeah, right,
No instruction manual,
Complexity in full swing....

He's hiding out there,
Set to pounce,
He eats your sweet dreams,
Every ounce,
His cloak of nightmares,
Creeping in,
When you feel dodgy,
It begins,
The paranoia,
Endless tears,
The constant sleeping,
Silly fears,
A fresh assessment,
Doctors room,
A new prescription,
Numbing doom,
Your death averted,
This time round,
But with the devil,
You'll be found........

Foam and froth
Ebb and flow
Moon and sun
To and fro

You and I
Yes and no
You said yes
She said no

You blamed me
I blamed you
When you left
I pulled through

When I fell
I fell hard
You felt bad
Sent a card

I forgave
Took you back
All the guilt
Broke your back

You proposed
I said yes
You designed
Your best dress

Honeymoon, of your choosing
Saw you watch teenage floosy

Catered to your every need
Watched as I got on my knees

Taking care of someone else
While you watched, and pleased yourself

Now I'm taking care of me
Feeling fine and feeling free

Taking care of whom I please
On my back, or on my knees

Wistful sea or waning wave
I fulfill that which I crave....

Take heed of the prize,
For all too often it flies,
Right before our eyes

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com  02/03/2020

I felt you kiss me,
But alas love,
It was just a dream.

(c) eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com 6/11/2019

It's all emerging
I've always known you were here
And now the mist clears

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com 05/03/2020

I felt the warm touch
Of your breath on my skin
The goosebumps gave way to
Swollen wanton lust
We wrapped ourselves around each other
And gladly obeyed what nature desired from us
A loud noise stole me from my sleep
No! Just a dream.. Again.
Always, just a dream

(c) eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com 6/11/2019

There's a storm brewing,
A shift in air quality,
The prelude to a monsoon,
That hush before the deluge,
But this storm is not headed our way,
This storm, his one will bypass you and I my love,
For this reckoning is heading for those who wronged you,
A reckoning, not of your making, but for your benefit,
Yours and mine, let it be, leave it alone,
And let us begin our transition,
They will emerge unscathed, but told, informed.......

When you hurt someone,
The whole world turns black and white
And rosy cheeks fade

If I took a cup of water from the Ocean,
Would it notice?,
I would, I’d know ,
If I stole a snowdrop from the ground,
Would the earth know?,
I would, I’d know,
If I stake my claim over your heart ,
Openly ask before taking,
Will You allow it?,
I stake my claim before you now,
Will you?,
Be mine until the last ocean runs dry,
Until the final snowdrop dies?........

(C) eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com 07/02/2020

I should be the one,
When the night holds you captive
You should call to me

(C) eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com 05/03/2020

I will still love you
You dropped a building on me
I will still love you

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com 24/02/2020

I thought I felt you
Alas it was just a dream
Now I lie alone

(C) eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com 2020

I had it,
Right here in the palm of my hand,
But my stupid,
Relentless insecurities,
And failure to believe,
Has cost me my life,
My reason for living,
Of course, I will go on,
But never the same,
My glass is shattered,
I,
Shattered, my glass.

There is another,
A thief,
A past taker,
A future lacker,
An aponent if you like,
There is competition,
A rival,
One who had you,
But broke you,
I've claimed you as mine,
Unbeknownst,
She can try,
But she will fail,
Let the game of pursuit,
Begin........

(C) eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com 31/12/2019

She's evasive at best,
I beg her nightly,
Come visit me, please,
My body is tired
And my mind is too,
I need her here,
I need the velvet pillow of release,
Release from consciousness,
Just one night uninterrupted,
I long for her,
I long for sweet slumber

(C) eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com 30/01/20

I think I hurt you
I did not mean to do that
Can you forgive me?

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com  11/02/2020

How do I cope?,
Without you here,
Do I ****** a million words that have no association to you?,
Do I work my fingers to the bone until I'm too tired not to cope?,
Pistols at dawn with my own thought process,
Who will win?,
You.. You win.. Every time.
You always will

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com  19/02/2020

They hound and they snap
Driving you over the edge
Yet they never stop

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com 15/02/2020

Hold tight my darling,
Because when we soar upwards,
Nothing can stop us.

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com  03/03/2020

Two years to the day,
I still can't believe you're gone,
I miss you mumsy.

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com  26/02/2020

What lies before me?
I'm afraid to face the day,
So I roll over

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com  19/02/2020

I'm missing a piece
There's a you shaped hole in me
I need it back please

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com 20/02/2020

I know I love you,
But the universe must not,
As you're still not here

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com
13/02/2020

I am in awe of you,
In a constant state of wonderment,
Why me?,
How am I enough for you?,
I made the grade!,
You chose me,
I am yours,
All yours, forever,
I am in awe of you,
Don't ever let me go.

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com  24/02/2020

My scars are ugly
But you see past all of that
Embracing them all

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com  10/02/2020

Every scar,
Every deception,
Every bomb shell,
Led me right here,
So I would never,
Ever change a thing,
I'd do it all again and more,
Because right here,
Is where you and I,
Are destined to be...

(C) eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com  10/02/2020

When I scan your face,
Every inch makes me want more
I want all of you

I will still love you
You dropped a building on me!
I will still love you

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com  23/02/2020

Kiss me there,
Like you would kiss my mouth,
Touch me there,
Like you would touch my heart,
Circle, back and forth,
Slow and rhythmic,
Hard and frantic,
Make it hurt so beautifully,
But make it soon,
I'm craving it, you, us

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com  12/02/2020

I want you my love,
Why can't the universe see,
And let me have you?

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com  14/02/2020

It lurks,
Like a cancer,
Over my shoulder,
That essence had a stab at it,
It failed,
It's my turn, let me be,
It's my turn,
I will succeed where It failed,
I promise to adore,
I swear to nurture,
The gift from the gods,
The gift, it failed to see......
I pray this gift remains with me,
But, it lurks, always, lurks....

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com 08/01/2020

I know we're on a roll babe,
I love the time we share,
I know you love me now though,
I've yet to travel there,
These voices in my head dear,
They toy with me so much,
I worry you will tire love,
I'm not afraid as such,
Just thinking way too loud but,
My quietened mind is close,
For you have made a promise,
And you, I trust the most,
Just tell me that you love me,
And love my quirky ways,
So we can get to living,
Our next one million days...

(C) eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com 22/01/2020

You know the one,
Where we are wrapped around eachother,
The outside world is but a soft whisper,
A dreamlike state envelops us,
All we see is eachother,
All we feel, is eachother,
Fitting like two pieces of a puzzle,
Loving like two frantic beings,
That dream,
You know the one,
Where we fall into each other's personal space,
And the things we do do eachother need no explanation,
Where nothing else matters,
Nothing else matters,
But you, and I,
That dream....That's the dream I dream tonight...
And always, until I make it our reality...

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com 07/01/2020

I've travelled,
Unravelled,
I've healed,
Been revealed,
Ive waited,
Breath bated,
But you?,


I've cried,
Been denied,
I've sobbed,
And been robbed,
I've been clean,
Been obscene,
But you?,

You have tamed me,
Never maimed me,
You have loved me,
Soared above me,
Freed my sorrow,
Cupids arrow,
Yes, you,

(C)eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com  17/01/2020

The void I felt before the light,
I begged the moon with all my mite,
I never knew that you were there,
To kiss my face, and stroke my hair,
I thought you were but faint a dream,
I dared to fantasise extreme,
You hovered over me that night,
And when I died, you gave me life,
You're just within my grasp my love,
Can almost taste that velvet glove,
Keep looking forward, right at me,
Don't lose your focus, now you're free,
That sweet redemption we have searched,
Love's a right, we both deserve.......
I love you!


(C) eileenmcgreevy@ymail.com  19/01/2020

Dare I?,
Dare I think it?,
That he loves me?,
Is it really true?.......
