Autumn

NO WALLS COULD DIVIDE

I built a wall towering up to the sky,

I stuck you inside, never heard your cry.

I’d like to go back to when you were small

Please take my hand, I won’t let you fall.

There’s a place in the wall where there is no gate

So don’t you worry, it’s never too late.

I’ll show you the tree that you used to climb

And we can roll in the grass, like we did in old time.

It’s not always greener, on the other side

But there’s sea shells and starfish on the low morning tide.

Bring your suitcase to stay, or bring the children to play

Home is where the heart is, and that’s where you are,

Always at home in my heart, and never afar.

The Maiden

VIRUS

Give myself protection
from that which
i fear most.

Deep
aching
longing
to be loved.

Held and healed
hold and feel
steal it

while i am
dreaming
again.

Always a gain
for lovers.

Pain
for others.

Love given
and surrendered
Taken
Cleaned
and remembered
Because it is me
"clean me"
cream me
scream free
quietly......

THE VIRUS

Given protection
from that which I fear
deep aching longing to be

held and healed
from love's pain
given
surrendered
in imagination's name
remembered in mine.

ONCE

Once a dream tangled my sleep

Pushing my angels aside.

My bed grew cold with an icy wind

That had silently crept inside.

I dreamed of a sea that had turned to ice

And captured everything inside.

The fish were suspended in seaweed so still

The waves that were cresting,

Now simply resting,

While waiting to reach the shore.

From inside my dream, I heard a scream

Perhaps a mermaid was trapped inside

And there I saw with frozen stare

A maiden beneath the waves

She cried out to me with lips of blue

Her tear drops were glassy pearls

The men brought their picks

And rocks and sticks

And hammered and chiselled away

At the glacial grave

that had her enslaved

With its frigid icy grip.

I gaze on her face,

So fair, such grace

And she softly whispers my name

Please release me, dear child

From this hostile tomb

Lest I should freeze away

Rather bury me where the warm sun shines

On a green hill far away

Where the daisies sway

And the dragonflies play

And the trees reach up to the sky

Where my children can run

Sing dance and have fun

And make sweet garlands each day.

With us to watch over and pray.

Of course mother dear, of course.

Constantly deleting                  

what's shared in my heart

defeating him in life and art.

                                                  

Would rather                            

it wasn't there                        

for him to decide.

                            

Will cut it from my flesh.            

Will burn it inside.

                              

Will kill myself rather            

then be found insane                                 

with loves that I've had                

which I keep in my brain.

          

Forgive me God                          

I know you are wise                    

You are always beside me        

no matter who tries                

to cut me to size.

                    

Always inside me                           

no matter who lies                    

no matter the disguise            

of the Loneliness Prize.

Colourless without you

rape of the mind

taking strain
feel the pain
nothing left in my brain

cant sleep
tablets are cheap
need to be buried
really deep

sitting in the dark
               a pain in my membrane
 from the empty void

my soul and emotions
 raped and stripped
now a gaping hole
 longing to be filled
not enough pills... to stop the dreams

you will catch me as i fall into sleep
but theres too many sheep ......
too many dreams

my body untouched
            is dry, lifeless and empty
it blows down the street
like a tumbleweed
passing through a one horse town

i frown
empty, lost and worthless
no longer any need to speak
you've taken my thoughts, my hopes
and what was left of my dreams
they belong to you now

Youness

THE RUNAWAY MAN!

Yes, there was a time

he said he loved me so much,

that he would go to the ends of the earth for me.

But I think he liked it there

Because he never came back

Again

black misery pulls
                            us
                                  down
                                              again

we tried, failed motherhood again
is he really the way, the truth and the light
has he left us behind

we didnt keep up again
always again and again
nothing new

everything happens again
its never a gain
