Through the ages, through the years,
I wonder what these shoulders could bear.
A lifetime of love followed by another of woe
You become a needle to stitch and sew
The Fate's threads are never ending,
Your eyes keep depending
On your ability to foresee
You always know what will be.
Your words and rhymes prophesize,
The same days and years you have come to despise.
Until you realise. It is different this time.
There is you
and there is
me.
And we are what will always be.
Old clothes slide on the skin like mausoleum night shifts
Those ghosts of the party, the beach and the cried out nights
Lift the soul to the floor.
The stitching is too tight and my legs are itching to be free
They drape the flesh like blinds that were alright for old me
But now
I have grown.
My style is the same but more defined like
Biro ink on lined paper
The yellow lemon drop retro skirt of the fifties but I made it 00’s
The cars zoom all over it, still to be worn
With the baggy Shelley shirt.
My gig dress catching dust, as a memory of
first musical occasion
Too classy too feminine to be emo
But that was it

On my minds eye's edge...
On my minds eye’s edge I waver,
And watch those watery depths that did acclaim your soul.
Did they wind around you?
The same way they taunt the shore?
A prisoner of the oceans rush, but I knew it was always more.
No, I knew you; it could not be so simple, a death known by so few
But I will make sure you still achieve your goal,
By hand and heart I will continue this labour.
Of Love, I know yours for me was settling into a cosy armchair
To read and grow old while you gazed at another so bold.
Although my pulse never faltered;
Except in envy.
From the earliest memory,
From home to here, the depths of emotion never altered.
Now I am
Alarm on a September eve
As a diseased swarm it,
Descends, whipping sickly veins,
That taunt the twilight a deathly black.
The chill gnaws on unaware leaves;
Their rotting carcasses still
Stumble
To
The Earth,
Raining destruction as you walk through the snarling wind.
Cold embrace forbids passage
But with old armour woven you head forth
Further into its hollow lair.
The birds flee in flitting flight,
Warning bells; they ring. Louder. Louder like a banshees dying lament. Shrieking. Louder. It had been foretold but I did not believe it. How could it be possible? Run to the window. People are panicking, scarpering like a blind gaggle of geese through my tiny cobbled street. I need to run. I need quiet. I want the light chatter of a market day to return, although it will not. I need safety. I need to run. Where will mother and father be? Fathers forge? The market? My newlywed sister's home? Will they come back for me? Should I find them?
The gap between the bells shortens. The melodies of angels overcome by a devilish din of death that s
