#2 Family Portrait

Blue eyed or green
Silver haired or dark
There's a spark
That shows they're mine

They see me through the shadows
They're bold and they're funny
They hear me when I'm silent
They're the greatest gift

Blue eyed or green
Silver haired or dark
There's a spark
That sees me through

#1 Lune

When you went away
I faltered
Subsumed by heartache

Valentine Morning

Connection echoes
We walk in three four time
Alone together

Heavy summer night
Caught the last bus to real life
Your eyes welded to mine

Pondering your mouth
Ecstasy and agony
Pulling me both ways

Falling into hope
Fingers of kimono silk
Found my hidden heart

You taste like desire
Black coffee in the twilight
Quiet wonderings

Rumours

Once I was punched
In the solar plexus
Remembering you
Feels just the same
Breathless
Frozen
Muted by shock
How swiftly
You sought the next
Woman to sell
Your lies to

Hooked

If your bass didn't stride with a limp
Just like me
I'd still be numb
If your fingers were not calloused
I'd be free
Arrogantly so, like parakeets

I am hooked
Flattened fifths paint the air
Phosporescent blue
If you weren't tender
I'd taste trouble
In your copper eyes

Fleeting Memory

When once upon a time
My lips were like cherries
Open and blooming
Powerful in their surrender
Once captured, like a drug
Prey became predator

Not Today

Some days I get out of bed, smiling
Not today
Some days I like what I see in the mirror
Not today
Some days I eat with ease, light hearted
Not today
Some days I want to be with people
Not today
Some days I am deaf to insults
Not today
Some days I find joy in all things
Not today
Today I can't, I just can't
