Beaching

The wash of the sea.
The burning brand.
Everything hurts eyes that have seen too much salt.

A Fairytale Ending

Run away little Girl, run away
the blind man said.
Go where they can't hurt you.
Don't follow your dreams, look
to the ground.
And be thankful you're higher than that.

Hide in the dark little Girl,
it's safer where they can't see you.
Where no one knows
where to seek you out
so they can't see to stab you,
to tear it all away from you.

Don't look back little Girl,
In case they catch you.
Snaring, snatching fingers
to have and hold and hinder.
The trees are vicious here
and the rivers full of dead water.

Hide from the world little Girl,
you don't want the anguish.
It's easier to pretend it doesn't exist.
In your gingerbread cottage,
your own only friend.
Until you become the Witch.

Xxx

The world Changed.
From the first caress,
the brush of mouth on mine and You
And I
To We and you to me
and me and all of me to you
because this is all I can do.
Won, lost, my gift to you

What Sounds Like Nonsense

A kiss, one kiss. You touched my mind.
I fought a battle, won and lost in time.
A hand to to take and hold in mine.
A memory spun in threads so fine.

Child to child to woman to man.
Breathing a light, softer, heart ran.
Take it, you take it, fast as I can.
Roll up the reel, let the film pan.

Onwards and upwards let the dream play.
Here we can hear the words are to stay.
Stars in the sky and the sun's out to play.
Take me outside to the dawning of day.
