The Usual
Ruby’s waiting tables, waiting for her time,She’s got a full house and I’m flush out,She lays out the menu and says what’ll it be,The usual I say, if you’ve got room for me. As you like it, but might you want a change? Remember you’ll pay for who you’ve been,Shall I put the broken record…

Before I Live
Cold comforts are your frozen repose,The shield and the maiden’s frozen toes,Tipping in defence of Winter’s throes,Holding power only an Empress knows. Comes a conqueror’s horse and lance,A foolish heart must take its chance,And tempt with fate this mortal’s dance,Upheld in song – is love’s true stance. Here in my lines made to suffer still,Knowing…

Your Lullaby
You’re not sleeping in this burning world,And you’re afraid of dreaming out loud,Afraid the flames will get a taste for you,Be left a prisoner of your forlorn desire.I’m not going to lie but I can be present,Walk with you through judgement of fire,With the seeds of affection we’ve sown. Maybe it’s the weather, or a…

Emily’s List
You don’t know how to have me,This matchstick girl’s dream of fire,The circus dancing around you, The fame that gets you higher and higher. I don’t want you to fall beloved, Tell the preacher I’m keeping herUp there in the rarified air –This wish in my hands forever. Let go of my balloon Our lies…

The Lady in White
There! Her pale visage plays with me, Haunting my city’s streets, Spectre of pretty perfection, Brilliant in her bedsheets. Intimate her imitation, Folly this shadow’s game, I flush, I read, I feel her chill, To touch her spooky fame – Now I wish to mourn the living, Bound by the breathless call, The Lady in…

A Girl Called September
You took me out to a sweet Midsummer’s dream, To tell me all about the sleepy Shadow’s play, And the two hands it takes to move the darkness The Lady who gives, and the one that takes away. Feeding those pretty vampires at the petting zoo, I gave them a little of me, you gave…

Slopes
Senses are broken, I have to make the lightAnd imagine what it feels like..I’m too soon for that world,The light doesn’t reach me,It’s just noise, broken,Confused, superior,Glowing beside me like a child,Wanting texture and mauve,The tree,There was supposed be a tree,There will be no fruit this spring,Eyes are open growing bigger,In this darkness bigger,The whole…

Fish Faces
I thought I knew him,A Mrs Vain for him,In love with love,An angel in disguise,My half filled cup of Sundays,Why don’t we like Mondays? Straight to the point,I let you pierce my veils,I’m a mermaid explorer,I’m the mother of snails. You blew smoke in my faceSo I blew bubbles in yours,And we kinda got along,Your…
