Ghost, you better not stop
Pass through the town with grace
Watch the mist, rise,
Don’t tell me I’m wise,
Hiding all the lies I can see in your face.

Oh, how you used to boast,
You were the hound on the chase
We feel so alone, the city at night,
Your gaze concrete and firm, that look on your face-
I don’t wonder why

Leave all your friends, don’t say goodbye,
They won’t think twice, now that’s your life
Too scared to lie.
You’re full of strife
Even though you try,
The path is straight and full of hate,
Don’t think too much, you don’t dare cry

Keep moving forward,
In the icy rain,
The land of the unknown, you’ll go
Weakness won’t show.
Don’t speak too much,
It will cause you pain;
With a last look from me,

I hope now you’ll see

bones
The night
the moon started
to drip
a silver drop
fell from
it's tip
and carved
in the dark
the sweep
of an arc
so fine
we thought heaven
had split.

Girl in white,
Soon you will dream,
I’ll try not to scream,
As you go, into the light.
You’ll smile and say,
Now is the day,
We’ll go far away,
With our hands clasped so tight.

I hope the sun decides to shine
Through the drifting blinds,
And the warmth will flow
from your eyes to mine.
The butterflies will mirror
How your soul takes flight,
As you ride that tall ship into the light.

The perfume,
It won’t fade
As your last song,
Is made,
Your flowers will be laid
On the earth, damply fresh.
The stars will shine,
and we’ll drink red wine,
Your favourite lines, forever
Etched, into our minds.

The moths will be tied
To your dress just outside,
It’s a message to the world,
The most sublime of signs.
The ocean will whisper
Secrets, throughout the night
I’ll keep your candle burning, always bright.

The books that we read, lying out on your bed
Not a tear I’ll shed
As the words, spin around,
Buried deep in my heart.
In them I’ll try to see
Why death is free,
You didn’t seem scared to me
When the wind echoed
‘depart’.

Your hair was intertwined
As the petals aligned,
A golden sweet glow,
From your toes to your spine.
I’ll sit here in the silence
I know I am in your sight
And when time takes me to you, I’ll alight.
Let's cover the walls,
In words we will never say,
Sheets we'll never sleep in,
Pictures never taken.
Let's be blind to what could of been.

So many words that seem so morose
Line after line of sadness
In these dark phrases, we do engross
Our emotions will turn to madness

So for a small moment, let’s think of what life really contains
Away from this swirling devotion
If that’s all we focus on we’ll all go insane
Let’s deviate from all this commotion

Outside it’s sunny and even if it’s not,
Imagine you’re inside and cosy
Sipping cocktails by the sea while it’s hot,
Laughing until your cheeks are rosy

Sand between toes
The smile of a stranger
A bubbling creek flows
With no grief and no danger

Chocolate and ice cream and sugar and spice,
Sunglasses and flowers and everything nice,
These little things should all suffice,
To make your eyes glow, away from the **vice

I have travelled the world,
                                               Climbed tall ships at sea,
       But I still do not know
                                               Who I want to be


Stare out the window,
                                       What does life mean to you?
How do we know,
                                       What we are meant to do?


I am wild in spirit
                                 But I can’t seem to      grow        it.

Please someone                           help me,

                                              Help me to show it.

A frangipani candle,
Sandalwood perfume
The shimmer of the shadows,
That light up the room

A hard covered book
With a silver inscription,
Warm jasmine tea,
Baklava from the kitchen

Soft red lipstick
And a robe of white silk
Dark lash rimmed eyes,
A bath of rose petals, floating in milk

Sweet drifting music
From the balmy outside,
The chirping of cicadas
And the whisper of the tide

Gentle gold jewellery
Which can carry you away
A feather pillow on the wooden floor,
The start
                          To the end
                                                       Of the day
