In The Centre Of A Circle

I know you’ve got a wife
And I believe that it’s for life
When you make a promise to someone
And I know that the sun
Has gone down on what we were
I used to be angry at her
For taking you away from me
Bitter coz you didn’t stay with me
And I was flying high
And you just wanted to die
I could feel it in my bones
When we left our homes
You know the one in LA
And no matter what you say
We can’t put it back together
And you just live in the rainy English weather
While I soak up the sun
And now that it’s done
I can finally breathe
Because what we both need
Was not the claustrophobia and smother
I was your girl, not your mother
And they all write about us
But there just was this trust
Between us
I though I had dreamed us
Up
But then my cup
Overflows and spills all over the floor
And the one that I adore
Is many miles away
And not just physically and so I pray
To the God I claim to know
How do I let you go?
When you mean it all to me
Is there a past tense to infinity?
And does it mean now that the rose is in my garden
That I shouldn’t be so hard on him
For what he could not be
I couldn’t hold on so I let you go free
I always thought you’d come back to me
But forever is now part of our history

The Falling And The Flying

The falling and the flying
And somehow it felt like dying
As I raged against the machine
And swore that I was the queen
Of my own domain
As the rain
Fell upon my head
And I wished myself dead
A thousand times
But the war crime
Awoke me to be
Something that I have to see
If I am to realise
That which never dies
In it’s own embodiment
That hell is heaven sent
If everything is God created
And some things are simply stated
In their complexity
There are rivers that run into the sea
And they get the best of me
As an ocean swallows all you’ll be
And the holy light
Was more than all white
It was the trancendental
Amid the realms so evidential
In it’s plurality
The God of One
Revealed Itself to me
And I was twenty three
When I shared the summer with the free
And it bit back
For all that it lack
In the midnight ramblings and stuttered speech
I know he hit me because he was weak
And scared and suffering
And, I, the bird with the broken wing
Refused to fly
And something die
In all that war
I don’t know what any of it was for
Because he just tries to say
I want you at a distance, okay
And I belligerent refuse
To be some point you want to prove
Throw the papers in your face
And say that thing is a disgrace
And leave me alone
I block the phone
From ever calling to my door
I shut you out and what’s more
I bar the gate
And time won’t wait
For a sin like that
Something was said that can’t be taken back
So I leave
Like Tristan with a heart upon her sleeve
In her walking boots
And the man may have roots
Or a motorbike
But what are you like
When you swim the sea
Just to say sorry to me
Like Michael and the man
I’d forgive you but I don’t know if I can
Let it go
I thought I’d write it down so you’d know

Leagues

I dig you
Like a grave
And you’re the hero
I’d die to save
In the monuments
Of long lost glory
And are you just staring
At my story
As we put leagues
In between ourselves
Like Walmart
And stacking shelves
For all our worth
I swore but it still hurt
And cursed the stubbing toe
It didn’t make the pain go
Only added a layer of ennui
I’m always longing for open sky
To set sail a sea
Into the blue eternity
That stretches out the clouds
Until I make the people proud
With who I am
Something about love
And God’s plan
