Crime And Punishment

.Reading time 1 minute.
How about goodbye
And you made me feel like I wanna die
So I close the door
Pretend I don’t love you anymore
But I do
It’s always you
Amid the curtains pulled
And the pain, it dulled
As the years passed
But I wanted it to last 
So I would have something to hold onto 
But your love stuck like glue 
In my heart
And though we are miles apart
And time and space
None of it is gone to waste 
Because I would do it a thousand times over
Just to find your four leafed clover
Growing in the grass
And I loved to learn in class
But nobody taught me a lesson like you 
I’m just not sure I wanted to
Let you go 
And I know
That everyone dies 
And the child cries
When her grandfather passes 
And it’s the wisdom of the masses
To mourn and then move on 
But there is a hole where he is gone 
And nothing can repair it
I dare it
To swallow me whole
But my soul 
Just grows more vast 
And life asked
Me to be free
So I let go and eternity
Came to kiss my lips 
In the middle of an eclipse 
Where all was night 
But in the darkness shone a light 
And nothing can drench it 
Nothing can quench it
No pulling thread
Can unmake where I made my bed

Trapped In A Chasm (Part 2)

.Reading time 1 minute.
I was trapped in a chasm of my own making
And there’s no telling what you’re forsaking 
When you let the riverbed run itself
And label me with poor mental health
For daring to see the truth of the matter
It’s about facing your demons or calling me a mad hatter
And Power is thin and lost
I get the sense he paid the cost
For his education
And now his profession is elimination
Of anything like a shoot of green
But he doesn’t see the roots in between 
The folds of soil
He tells me who I am and my blood starts to boil
Psychosis or manic depression 
But it is my confession 
That I have never known an altered state
In anything except the boy that I date 
On the sly
And it’s all getting by 
In the rocky shore
Could you not close the door
When I let you in
Because you are not him 
And I need to be open to 
The water that is flowing through

To Create A Space To Be

.Reading time less than 1 minute.
To create a space to be
Are we rewriting history
When we say peace is what we want
But men in armoured cars still daunt
As you file past
And the tenuous ceasefire doesn’t last
As they arm their guns 
Equip fathers and sons 
To go to the scene 
And rescue people from the dream
Of hate and hurt
People pushed into the dirt
Of circumstance 
What happened to the heart that used to dance?
Is it all forsaken
And when we waken
Will it be to the sky
I’m still holding the reason why

Infinite Gravity

.Reading time less than 1 minute.
A star collapsing in on itself 
The absence of light and what it all meant
As a black hole is created
Try as you might you can’t escape it
But does it wash out somewhere else
A wormhole into a dimension of self 
That cannot be contemplated 
They say that I’ve been educated
By my years
But the tears
Burn into me
An inferno that’s been set free
Into everlasting space
A love that breaks upon this place

The Vines That Pull

.Reading time 1 minute.
So I got locked up
For a crime I didn’t commit
And the doctors are in league
With the demons I’m dancing with
And they’ve got names 
For my affliction 
Like love and lust
Passion and addiction 
And I can’t exist 
Between the two poles 
Do anything other
Than be completely whole
And I thought I could trust
In a fall away floor
So I stood still
And the trapdoor
Vanished 
From under my feet
Now me and the darkness 
Finally meet
In movements that reach
Across my bedroom floor
It’s not really
Less is more
More like a mystery
Than a conundrum 
The wonder is that I 
Can’t discover Him
Where he always was
Like light was put on pause
And the Saint I love
She talks about the distance 
Between the God of peace
And the rest of existence
So I know I’m not really
On my own
Then it bursts to life
In true colours shown
Like the whole world was pulsing
With this desire
And the heart of the matter
Was a burning fire
That gives rise to lit in the tree
Like Moses says God is talking to me
And the Divine has its own language
It speaks in tongues 
And I could translate them 
When I was young
Now all of the words 
Turn to a silent tone
Like the crackle of static 
On the other end of the phone

The Great Calm

.Reading time less than 1 minute.
Enough of your reign over this land
I was honest and faithful, you were underhand
And you always find ways to point out my flaws
Say what’s underneath when the ice thaws
And you gave me pause
A moment to think about a hidden clause
In all you perambulate
Find a way to get out of that state
And into another
You were never close to being a brother
To me
And I see
All the design done deleteriously
Is falling into my palm
You were the storm before the Great Calm

Juxtaposition

.Reading time 1 minute.
I don’t want the traditional life
Not hand to shoulder then be a wife
I want to soar with my wings full open
Not getting by or how you coping
I want to see the stars with my own eyes
I want to shed my leaves like a disguise
And stand solid like a tree
Are you making fun of me
Coz I know you are all motion
And I am still, I’m just supposing
You think I’ve missed out on stuff
But there’s more than one way to love
There’s more than one way to be
But it’s rare the one who really see
With their own eyes deliberately 
Don’t think you’ve made a fool of me
Cause I dive in loving the water
Priceless doesn’t mean you’ve bought her
Only that you’ve reserved a space
In the corner of her face
When she smiles up at you
I love it coz I would too

Isobars

.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Maybe I was wrong about the weather
Maybe I was wrong about the stars
Maybe I tried to map constellations
Along Earth’s isobars
And are we all just dust
A collection of particles in space
So though we both live and die
Nothing ever goes to waste
And is it all alive
Just a breathing, heaving mass
The universe is in my bones
And this too shall pass
