Water Circles

trembling water
dark water reflects an image like a flower

pure and sharp
soft and obscure
ripens and fades
blooms and dies
over and over and over

in perfect circles
it feels real it smells rotten like renewing

like a leaf on the soil

water circles carrying my attention back to the
universe

He Hurts

Aesthetically perfect
Lustfully alive-
joyfully wild
he smells like wet wood
he looks like autumn
He hurts.
His eyes are dry
and his heart emptyMy best friend we'll
hold our hands forever-
wipes my tears away my lover_
while we walk under
these trees_

Will I be your
precious little girl
until the last day?

Spanky Sundays

What did you do in your spanky sundays
beneath my nothing makes sense
and my everything does
What your thoughts were wondering at
when i was thinking of the biggest frame
what did you tell her about me
when she wanted to be the one
did you think that i cared
did you think that it mattered
did you think that i never knew
about your spanky sundays

At Last

At Last
My Love Has Come Along
With A Suitcase Of Coincidences
And The Sky Was Blue
And My Heart Wrapped Up
In Fairytales
And I Could Feel
The Thoughts Of The One
To Call My One

At Last
My Love Has Come Along
With An Envelope
Denying My Name

Left Me
In Tears
Something To Touch
And Drink

Glitter & Litter

Sometimes It Happens
Life Taken
From Bright Eyes
With Just A Glimpse
Of Glitter
Soft Clouds
Illusory Guides
Bitterness
I Could Taste
And Danger
And My Beloved
Entangled
In A Crazy Tango

No Spirals
No Vortex
No Halves
No Peace

Life Creates

Ballet

Waking up on a dance floor
shoes at my feet
won't let me touch base
with the ground
i can feel your hands
offering shelter
to my cheesy heart
telling me
that there's nothing wrong
in this essential core
here.
like a miracle of beauty
morning sparks in
whenever i think of you
a subtle breeze
brushes my eyelids
free from fears
i start to dance
listening to the
magic

Blowing Knives

my nerves
break down in
a myryad little
stars
and my mind
is destroyed once
again by the pain
you can blow here into
my eyes
as I watch myself
turn numb and bitter
to your satisfaction
As if I was your favourite
torture toy. As if I was
the girl with no value
you could throw on the bed
for as many times you liked
Just because you feel better,
this way
with my eyes full of tears and my heart confused

The Ugliest Lovesong

I sit on the toilet
and wonder
what this love is about

It doesn't strike
as a thunder
it holds me down

I often stare at the mirror
and wonder why
it keeps me stuck to sorrow
I wonder how

To be honest I want to stay
lay
and wait
day after day

To be honest I don't know when
I ll become
