Blackpool

.Reading time 1 minute.
There is a black pool at the core of my being 
When it’s light it’s just a reflection you’re seeing 
Of the moon in the water 
And I have been a “good” daughter 
Always abiding by the rule
Getting grades to fly by in school 
But I have grown up and in 
And I found myself in him 
When he set me free from the stricture 
And it was a mighty picture 
When he showed me his own shade of blue
And I wanted to be one with you 
As you just were yourself 
And my mental health 
Is not up for debate
But I’ve learned there’s something beyond the hate
You can even hold for yourself 
There is a wealth 
In verdant green
And it’s the best thing I’ve ever seen

New Season

.Reading time 1 minute.
New season, can you accept it with grace
And it’s been an age since I’ve seen your face
And for all my intuitive understanding 
I can never reply to what you are demanding
In splintered prose
And less travelled roads
It all gets so tiresome and weary
I just want someone to see it clearly
And I had thought that you
Had peered through
The vast abyss or canyon cavern
To something more than a tavern
With spirits and ale
A chalice that is not up for sale
I support the columns because should they fall
There would be an unholy clatter in the hall
Like that time we shattered glass
Or broke the branch of class
With our own brand of free
Now he’s talking to me
And it’s like all my dreams have come true
In the midst of me and you
And absent weight
A moment to forget the hate
And all that weighs us down 
We could be the coolest folks in the town
Your words, not mine
And every crime
Has its resolution
And the solution
Is meeting them where they are
Every person, I don’t care who you are
Has a star
At the core of their being 
Even though they may not be seeing
The light sublime
I wouldn’t trade it in if it were mine

Vision

.Reading time 2 minutes.

I felt I was always waiting for my big break
And the world would discover me and you’d see your mistake
But it’s been over twenty years since I started writing songs
And novels in my bedroom willing them to play along
Cause I swore that I would captivate all of life from a stage
And I could mould a beginning from the ashes of my rage
And that band we never quite managed to get together
Before you left me on the sidelines for what you can’t remember
But I still swear I will make everybody so proud
And be the rebel who stands out from the crowd
The golden girl they always said would go far
But the darkness broke my spirit and you broke my heart
And I am just a shell of who I used to be
Or the ambition that I held and what was in store for me
Now it feels like I’m swimming underwater
And I have been reduced to just somebody’s daughter
Though I feel know musicians who have made it big
Or the idols of my writing and I visualise a gig
That brings us altogether and finally reveals
The depth inside of me that nobody steals
In passion and in presence to step inside my own
The fire and the promise I have always known
The inspiration deck from my observatory
I was not born to hide away so listen to me
And the aching wisdom that just came with this body
The omnipotent surrender, I’ll leave you thinking of me

Everlasting

.Reading time less than 1 minute.

The night comes falling in around me
And I just feel like I am free
As the stars shine bright cascadingly
I wonder who it is I’ll be

For the design is perfect pure
It’s the one thing that I know for sure
And in all of what will endure
You are the perfect ailment cure

Cause loving you is just release
You are the wrinkle that I crease
You’re the one thing that does not cease
In all of what will just decease
