When the world stops spinning And the stars fade away, When everything living Has turned old and gray, When the sun burns out And Heaven shuts its gates, When our destiny's in doubt And our future is too late, When the fires die down Into ashes of the past, And all is run-down Until their very last, When your hope runs thin And you take your final bow, I will love you then As I do now.

Your heart's peeling With every feeling, Don't say a word When you get scared, You were never prepared. A headless case of the heart Waiting for the end at the start A photo album from before Your fear closed the door On all our memories. Time begins to age At the turn of each page, What will it take For this love to make it? You say it was your best Every question was a test, Every thought was a sin. No where to run now A hopeless treasure you found, Compromised to carry on Always felt like you'd won I've got time And lots of cash, You wanted the impossible. A solitary dance A lustless romance, The innocence cut deep Smothering us to slee

A blue dawn slowly rises To a world yet undecided, About what it all means In an emptiness of vast. Living on retired dreams, A sallow version of the past. Greying heads, And decaying dead. We are what we create, Shackles of love and hate Within delusions of faith. Don't ask me to beg, I require no forgiveness. From these dregs I found freedom; A liberty to which I owe nothing. From the midst of frothing, Caged beasts of vicious honesty I delivered myself from evil. I shunned the life of modesty And saw no sign of a devil. I shall hail no mother but my own, For nature did not birth me. And Mary shared not with my father A silent repast one mi

Tempting as lazy Sunday afternoons Challenging the depths of my heart Drawing a love in silly cartoons Smiling under skies of starlight art A testament to love and luck For candor and ardor's sake If only to save a measly buck The world will be ours to take Ice cased mouths on faces Seeking sources of pleasure Leading in run-down traces Of a long lost treasure. And this time we'll survive As they did before the light Ask not for the bee's hive We are all bound to fight.

Adorning my heart with lavish hues, And embracing my arm when your blue. Taking my hand for your own desires, This passion within burns red with fire. You send me to sleep only to wake me in my dreams, And your voice, it echoes like the wind through the trees. The name we made for a future life; With me your ardent husband and you my sultry wife, Will serve to keep the bonds we share, From being cast into the abyss of common despair. And from this moment on, From when our curves meet, It won't be long, 'till our hearts beat, To the rhythm of our song. It won't be long...

Bleak musterings of timid hopefulness my strength keeps, For I was just a native lad who fell into the teeth of beasts. Damaged as I am, the pale moon raises the tide of my wane heart, And leads me to you, my dear, the one I love and will never part. The night's shadow leaves a curse upon my hampered skin, I can come from without, but can never leave from within. Shivering girl, don't wait for me, I am with you, don't you see? Time hues your wishful face, and worrisome lines find their place. Night's weary arm embraces the sky like a mother does her crying child, Whence sorrow casts its shadow and happiness is awaiting the while. Sets the mo

If I had to do it over again, If I had to fight for the right to breathe With every mistake that you would concede. If I had to do it over again, If I had to shuffle my aching feet To the rhythm of your broken heartbeat. If I had to do it over again, If I had to get on my knees and beg you to stay When you left me for him on that fateful day. If I had to do it over again, If I had to keep asking myself what went wrong As I slowly died inside while you were gone. If I had to do it over again, If I had to endure the everlasting agony Of what your sordid love did to me. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't.

He sits next to her everyday Another passenger on the subway, She notices him but is too afraid She cannot find the words to say. These are the times, This is the age, When people feel so far away. He cries in his sleep for a girl like her Wakes up again for another day at work. Bored to tears from all the long years Yet he holds onto hope And he thinks of the girl He doesn't quite know, Living in a distant world. She's so ready for a guy like him Finds his face in the crowd each morning, But the thoughts stay inside She cannot let them out. Side-by-side the whole ride She's dying to shout out "I've always loved you," She so desperately wa

Soundless serenity, A vastness of white. Reflecting rays Of sunshine, Giving light Giving life To a realm of stillness. Standing in the cold I remember your face, Pink flushed cheeks All covered in wool. Surrounded by silence Deep and resounding, Moving inside us Softly deafening.   Winterland. Colorless sand, Trickling shards Sparkling in your hand, Tastes sharp Like rusty shivers. All beauty and frost A heart of ice Dancing on fire, Embers of desire. You looked so alone On a blanket of ivory, I just had to have you For the grandeur For the glory. An act of chance, An avalanche Falling down on me. All beauty and frost, And I am so lost In t

It's time to move on, What's done is done; We had our fun Under the setting sun, But life had just begun And we were on the run At the sound of a gun. I know it's sad now Hun, But I'm just not the one.

Forever your black swan, Another shoulder to cry on. We both know that in the end I’m just another friend. Put a price on me, I’ll pay the fee. You see me blushing? This costs you nothing. When it’s dark outside And you need a ride Send whispers my way, You know I’ll obey. There’s no way out of this, It begins with just one kiss. But if you were to refuse There’s not much you’d lose. One friend Trying to pretend, One part of you You never knew.

Leave it to him The one who's all steam The one without a dream. He'll take you home To his castle of chrome To be his imperfect clone. Give him what he wants He smiles and he taunts He laughs and he haunts. Force those three little words out He likes it when you scream and shout He likes it when you beg and pout. Tell yourself that it's real When you find him in bed with her When you make him lose his temper. Because that's all you are to him, Another excuse to be angry. A seed of lust gone too far for him, But you meant everything to me.

Absorb the mellow light Coming through Stained glass windows In the evening. Thinking of you, And it always shows. It means Less and less, Each time you exhale To speak your mind In defensive lies, To no avail. Little yellow stars Set the night on fire. The moon's our only way out of here, So hold on to me when you feel empty. It feels Colder and colder, Show me that smile again I wanna feel the sun shine Out from above your clouds, Just one more time. Lift you in silence, Somewhere far away From this sordid scene. Drunk talk will say All the things You mean to me. It gets Harder and harder, My arms grow tired Of holding your heavy hear

The black windows show the carriage around us. Everyone is sitting, sloping off into whatever silence they can gather over the whine of the train on the tracks. It's night time. The train has been delayed, but the lights are still bright and the kids are still wandering  about the carriage excitedly. Somewhere a baby is crying. Mobile phones call out to their owners for attention. It's hot. The air conditioning isn't working in the summer night. Lights flash past in the darkness as we speed through station after station. The Midlands is a pattern of anonymous lights. You can link them together like artificial stars in the blackness to form

He uses and abuses and only plays to conquer Her venom solely matched by grace, she is a gorgeous monster He loves to tie his victims up and leave 'em high and dry Her prey she likes to play with, a spider catching flies He controls their lives and they dance for his delight She spins her web around the fools too entranced to fight They meet perchance one sullen evening His last toy cracked, her meal still bleeding He spots a doll of heaven's lore Gliding on the porcelain floor He can't believe his luck to find A gorgeous pet to hurt and bind She drops a strap to show some skin And works her hips to draw him in Out the corner of

When my eyes roll To the back of my head, I can see my thoughts, Even the ones I didn't Know were there. I've lost some things back there. Where is the bottle of Scotch when I feel depressed? I keep that in a special place. What about the neat suit I wore to every wedding, Every funeral, every extra special occasion? It's hung up around here somewhere. Where do I keep that Extra bright lamp, Which I use to expose Every dirty thought, Every monotonous journey, As if to question their very existence? I forget where I hid it, It doesn't turn off. And the plastic bag that suffocates you? When you're in a tiny room, When yo

Someday, I’m going to rest. I will be carried in a white bed lined with silver and gold and descend and descend and descend… and wake up to unimaginable grandeur. I will be a bull, alone in a lavender field. Don’t send me balloons or I might remember and cry. Next, I’ll be a child in a crib made of clouds. Multi colored sheep may rock me to sleep. At last, I am a sparrow ready to take my first flight… I will unfurl my wings and ascend and ascend and ascend to the place where you are, where the sun hides. Someday, I’m going to rest too. and I’m taking these flowers to heaven.

Santa Claus Tired, cold and desperate They go rushing by Some have angry eyes Some want to sit and cry Standing in the doorways Or blocking up the aisles Snapping up the bargains Like hungry crocodiles Loads of bags and boxes Barging down the street A little Christmas shopping Turkey and some meat But where is the spirit As they push into the queue The seasons great occasion Understood by so few The message is the giving To witness a joyful tear The sound of happy laughter Is all you need to hear Buying to receive Is borne of selfish greed This type of giving Isn't what we need St Nick gave for love What he could aff

I had a dream I pushed you away. So strange, my thoughts would put you back to how you were, the summer I blushed against my will. So strange, my soul would turn her head and deny you. I don't blame her, I don't blame myself. Perhaps it was the fear that drew me in, no rush like terror to excite me. You are not so much lost as you are vanished, I could find you if I wanted to, but I much prefer to choose otherwise. I am drugged by the winter air, but I know better. Summer doesn't mean life, not now. It's not my fault. You were like drowning in champagne. I'll take none of it back.

What are these things That entertain us? These things, that draw boxes around our eyes, These things, that soak up our attention Until they become saturated, These things, that needle through us And embed themselves in our misshapen spines, These things, that plug our colons, and squeeze the piss out of us, These things, that drink the gravy from our eyeballs, And sew our asses to our sofas, These things, that funnel their noise Into our eardrums, and block everything else, These things, that cut off our noses, Our legs, our eyebrows, These things of equality, equal measures, Equal disinterest, equal logic, These things, that

Pearls of love slide down my leg Blood pumping hard and fast through my head The euphoric feeling takes full control The heat from this pleasure touches my soul Eyes dilate and hands start to shake Out of breath and body vibrates Muscles tense so tight Like I've gone in to shock This second feels so right I never want to stop Then words can't explain the feeling that comes Spirit and body finally becomes one Focus comes back and pulse rate slows down Then the pearls become rivers that soak my night gown.
