Nothing hurts more
Than holding your child
As they are falling apart
It kind of tears you apart at the seams
her cheeks are wet
And the sadness is radiating in all directions
But you've talked your talk
Both staring at the ceiling
From the base of the bed in a darkened room
You both soul searched and cried forever
Best friends forever in this cruel world
You know you've been a good mum
When she sits singing and smiling with a new hope twinkling in her eye
It's need a hard evening

I came upon an old stone wishing well
Way out beyond my dream time
Just past the hour that never quite Strikes
So I flipped my coin and tossed it so
Rainbow hues and no where else to go
I wished for love to hold me close
Closer still than I ever did know
I wished for arms to Wrap me tight
All through the winter nights
I wished for freedom
I wished for joy
My wish it splashed upon the fountains floor
And then I wished a little more
I wished for hope
I wished for faith
For without these two
I'd fall from grace
With out trust there is no love
No devine intervention from above

You kick the dust
Turn and leave
And I really want to scream don't go
But I don't
Because that just wouldn't be the right thing to do
And because it really is ok
Rai Oct 2015
I found broken pieces of you all over the place as I crawled my way through my day today
The smashed lamp on the living room floor
You were thinking of the women down the road
The one who reminded you of your mother
All Red silk blouse an large chest
All Cotten candy sweetness in daylight
Cruel sadistic witch when curtains were closed tight
The fragmented remains of a China cup
All birds and butterflies are now fluttering at the bottom of the trash can
Hell doth have no fury like a women scorned
And so be it
The mirror cracked
Your reflection too painful a desire to behold
The scar across your face another reminder
Of yet another painful year
But what hurt the most was my Guitar
No longer singing in my hands
Strings pulled tight
Like your lips as you were screaming your revenge
You said this time it was my fault
I'd looked at you the wrong way
I reminded you of someone who had deserted you
What am I ment to say now
Well hell thank you
For taking your pain and moulding it to fit me in too?
I couldn't find you in all the chaos
Silence
In silence I will now retire
If you want to play hide an seek its your turn to hunt
If you don't find me then I may have got lost
Between the birds,butterflies,smashed China and your mothers Red silk blouse.

I'll hold your soul whilst you are sleeping
When star light beckons for a home
When friends are there but your left yearning
When you cant find a way back home*

We can sit drink coffee
And chat awhile
Or get drunk on red wine
And go the whole mile
Soul seeking
Life stripping friendship
And a need to connect


Blow away the blue skies
Darkness is comfortable
And I can't hold my eyes above my chin today


Hold tight sister brother
Breathe and tell
Rid yourself from the burden of the pain you carry
If only for a while


You have shared your
Naked flesh
Naked heart
Now unclothed your soul


In blood and flesh
You reside
In mind and soul
You will remember


*Come sit awhile
The star dust is falling
And you are safe here within
The sanctity of connection

Helen
I sneak inside your mind
and tiptoe amongst
the broken glass
skirting around
disassociated thoughts
watching arguments
you thought you lost
sitting in the bleachers
of the upper reaches
of your subconsciousness

I find
I'm not the only spectator
that dwells within
your mind

you sit next to me
****** bare feet
you whisper softly
you're in for a treat

See that white knight
upon that fiery steed
that's you
waiting, for me

Waiting for the battle
sitting so calm
here I come
upon the darkest horse
ready to do you harm


I sat quietly in the stands
of your twisted tournament
holding onto your hand
waiting for spears to rend
skin from flesh
tear flesh from bone
waiting for blood to pour
from an empty wound

but the white knight
did not advance
just sat quietly
in saddle
waiting for a chance
for the black knight
to fall, stricken by
a ghostly lance
It was the white knights
chance, to catch him
as he tumbled
and fell

and there I dwell
inside your mind
you tumbled and fell
*I caught you in time
It's been a bad day...
