I Know

An unwise man once told me that I was a sinner She told me that in my eyes was an evil, demonic glimmer The tragedy is that for years I believed her I didn’t resist when my husband called me Darth Vader // So what can make something like that right in my soul How…

Dearest Ones

Dearest ones I didn’t know there was a type of reverence That whispered into your soul the very truest meaning of the words I live to serve Her voice was quiet when she said it to me, and I shuddered quietly in turn And I suppose that quietitude is catching, because I haven’t heard anyone…

Flickering

The lights in the house next door start to flicker on But then I feel scared and shy and I want to run And I don’t know where this feeling comes from deep inside But it claws around in me and I want to hide So I guess I’ll play it straight for a while…

Shimmer

I love the way that the curl of your lip Eeks upwards over your beard on one side As though by reaching upwards it could touch Heaven Which is ironic really, when you think about how surely footed you are in the Earth Although you are ever climbing ever striving to reach just a little…

Guns and John Mayer

When I’m drawing blanks from the calibre of weapon in my arsenal And I can’t see a way to take someone off their self-appointed pedestal I’d like to say that I go peacefully into the quiet night like a good little poettess I’d like the knowledge that I can live and let live that I’m…

An ice cold star flickers in the sky my lips meet yours and I taste Strawberry With small red chunks of dubious fruity origin stuck in your teeth Chocolate Malted and melted and mesmerising big brown eyes blinking Caramel Chewy like the rebound on your tongue and your spit is sweet like Vanilla And as…

Via Amour

The way of love is at time a little challenging It rends and twists in my soul like a serpent trying to break free Jormagandur held down but waiting to rise, rise up And when the rhythm of it all escapes me and the writhing Burns my body from the inside out and I thrash…

Tasted

I wonder if you remember the way that you tasted the night I met you I know that it is easy for me to recall the sugary drop of you into my mouth And still now when I lick my lips there’s a flash of your sweetness But it’s only a reflection of how you…

Emerging From The Trees

I went for a walk in the woods and discovered that I’d lost my way And when I looked all I could see was the bitter end of a foggy day The sunlight was stranding through the trees in mysterious little wisps Like steam rising from the hot open pores in the earth swirling like…

Flicker

The light that dances in your eyes behind a smile Hides none of the hard-won peace of mind post-trial Your introductory period has now ended and I suppose That it’s just as well I have your credit card details so as To keep asking you to pay the piper although I know I’d pay To…
