I am dancing on light
I am floating in a sea of colour
It is brilliant but also subtle
The colours rock me like waves
I could lie on this ocean forever
There is nothing but me and the light
I am at peace
I am at peace
I want to be at peace.
Something hysterical
or maybe
it's
classical
music.

I'm in the
shower room
plotting an overthrow
this body
just has to
go
soon.

It all turns to dust,
the days are getting shorter
the night's are much tighter
I long for the lighter
mornings
to come.

Something hysterical or
me
waxing lyrical while
the sun burns a hole
in my headstone.
Light, dancing wildly
Spectrums of colour, of creation
I look at my reflection
Against the cool glass
my breath staining it like frost
Sometimes I am transparent
like this mirror, like this cold air
and still, I look into myself
the crushing weight of the world
making the glass pulse
and my pulse, shatter
My emotions bleed out onto a wood frame
seeping through and taking shape
Turbulent, uncertain, blazing, brilliant
Is this me?
My inner turmoil made flesh
inside this glass tomb

I am, as I have always been,
On the wrong side of the mirror.
"I look inside myself and find perfect emptiness"
I've been having nightmares about you again
you know the ones, where I wake up
Screaming and shaking
hairs raised like there were spiders on my skin
insects, bugs, those four-legged thoughts of you
holding me against you whispering
love love love
how sweet, how blissful, such tenderness

lie

you grab my head thats cradled against you
in your hands that dwarf my own
twist, snap
That is how you have loved me
that is how you have left me
I awaken, soaked in sweat and tears
I sob into pillows that still smell of you

spiders

Are they still just dreams if I cannot escape them?
Do nightmares follow you into the waking world?
When you dream, are there spiders?
Did you ever really love me?

**Have I ever woken up?
kinda rushed, i'll polish it soon
Bare your soul to me
show me but one slice
of your heart that lies beating
show me meagre fragments
of disjointed thoughts
and I will hold in high regard
you, and find somewhere
a comfortable place in my heart
where you can reside
people are so quickly overlooked
so seldom loved by the many
alas, it might just be me

perhaps I simply have
too much love to give
I am good as I am,
do not take that from me
do not presume to know me
at my best, or my worst
it is enough to know
that my tears will water the earth
and my blood will paint the sky
until it is red and angry;
you will know my wrath
should you tell me how I am
should you say that I could be more
or that I am somehow, less,
be it enough that the stars hold me
be it enough that the moon moves me
be it enough that I can love me
                      
                                                                  
                                                                                                    I am good as I am
