Green
Lush green shrouds my dark little mind
water spiders dance over its surface
reflections hide its depth.

Leaves rustle as branches sway
wild wind in torrents
pverhead clouds race the sky.

Beneath the canopy all is stillness
the fertile pause before birth.

Icing
I watch it all go wrong and fall away
all the beauty and joy
how I wanted it to stay

unrecoverable
resign the current siuation
future unfathomable

like melting icing
too sweet to be substantial

History
the lips that once kissed me so gently
now deconstruct everything around me

the words that once lifted my soul to the very heights of heaven
now like a stone sink me to the darkest pits of hell

you who hold them both
you say you will never leave me

now all I want
is to be free from this cell


I wear the marks of persecution
on the body you once caressed

the light that once shown from these eyes
has long since died

I have picked up all the clothes
from the place that for you I undressed

the bed where we came
is now the bed where I cried


all that is left now
is for you to leave

still you stay
in this misery

that you love me
I no longer believe

my tears have dried
like you... they are my history.
