Every song I sing
is off-key
so, I sing to myself
and inside
is beautiful sound.

When you ask the giant spider in your dream why it keeps tapping strands of silk, it tells you it's to see if anything out there changed from the last time.
'Otherwise I'll be unmoored.'
But outside of dreams giant spiders mostly care about food & do not communicate at all.

...music, has combusted. Not quite vanished, it leaves behind smouldering ashes for the phoenix to rise - equal in value, but not in timing, or shape. Iced peaks are thawing as I shed the lining. A...

Part of a song I wrote, called 'Heart of Ice':

In this world so cold
I got a heart of ice
But when you bring the fire
It dissolves
feels warm and nice
Once it's melted down,
There's no heart left at all
Transformed into a ruthless creature
Ready for the fall

Years and years gone by
I thought you had changed by now
But no, still the same

...thunderbolt struck, when it hit me:
There was no golden absolution, because there had never been any guilt.

Laughter broke free from my centre like the downpour from the clouds, a wordless...

Lemon memories, purple bruises
seared in the shadows
mine to bear.

Wandering through the nightmare-fog
with the leeway of
visceral roots.

Shackles, weights and pangs aloft
I hear songs
unlearning, rewriting joy.

Wandering through currents
Silent, I observe
Nightmares taking shape
Abiding the laws they serve
Protests ring aloud
Voices seared with verve
Mine joins the chorus
Desperate to preserve

You should know
I used to smile at others
absentmindedly, all the time
and now, because of you
I never do.

When the table revealed how wonky it was, emptiness was already throbbing.
Your cup slid toward the floor, but this time, the cup's magnetized strip held.
You sip coffee and remind yourself inter-dimensional termites come from hollower dimensions.

Shards

I ran out of words, not out of tears
though it is good to know, because
it means I have got a heart
that can break, and still love
with each single shard
and love always
heals, even
broken
hearts

Eyes locked on each other
Breathe me in
Skin to skin
Soul to soul
Feel the passion flow
The world outside begins to fade
In your arms is where I belong
The fire gets closer
Where making love just isn't enough

Behind those eyes
There's a warm glow
In the space between breaths 
I feel your blind devotion
Falling into cosmic bliss
Letting love flow freely
Drifting where starlight and silence kiss

You, Schrodinger's cat of lost - perpetually lost and found at the same time, until one of the two states becomes unmissable.
But the height of these states can surge like a flare. Or like joy & pain. High enough to see the world.
Sad enough to see the world.

Where the dotted line freezes
Is where we bleed poems
Falling into you
With promises of forever
A spell undone;
A truth that lies within my heart
A balance of love and desire
You're my weakness;
A gift from above
