The Green Bruise of Daylight
"The Green Bruise of Daylight"
A person can die for love
one sees red
the other sees blue
purple bruises
one sees red
alarm lights siren
purple bruises
detach into the grey
alarm lights siren
there is no more singing
detaches into the grey
courts fuelled by pocketsful of lies
rocks and gavels
for the...

Emotional BruiseEmotionally pinched
bruises the mind
blinds the eye from seeing
internal scars still bleeding
denial of the worst kind
feelings left behind
alone and distraught
in shadows of black and gray
surrounded by emptiness
.
Heart in shreds
gloom and dread
torn apart thoughts
doors of communication closed
beyond reach in saving
numb in soul
crying inside for help
prisoner of pain...

Bruise MeYou always try
to break me down
you always try to knock me out
damage me with just your words
not physical but it still hurts
and all you do is make it worse.
You bruise me
Cut me with your tounge
Brutalize me, cut and binding
as my blood pours from the scars.
You...

Broken Dreams Don'T Die, They Just Bleed, Bruise, Heal and RequireBroken dreams don't die.
They bleed.
They cry out for somebody to believe, believe me everybody cries sometimes.
Even me
Have you ever wondered what happened to those dreams we ignore
Do they turn into nightmares in a rage
Or do they simply fade away....

Lyric
Deep Enough To Bruise the SoulHe didnt know the wounds would go
Deep enough to bruise her soul
She lay there froze when he arose
She replaced her battered clothes
Rather the blows from clydesdales toes
Or the fate of conquered foes
This painful load forever to hold
A friend not stranger from her stole
He didnt think...

Living With Mother Nature's BruiseWe turned to each other when we heard on the news
Our daughters place of work, enduring mother nature's bruise
She worked on an island now swamped with wrath
To her we now travel to retrace her last path
To go there blind never knowing if she breathes
Thoughts think...

Aching BruiseEveryone is getting ready
For the Holidays already.
Shopping, rushing around,
Yet in sorrow I do drown.
Their photos I came across
I feel pain, agony, the loss
For my life is an empty shell
It is my own special hell.
My babies are gone
And I am withdrawn.
Aching...

Heroic Couplet
The Sound a Bruise MakesThe sounds a Bruise makes
Laying here without you tonight,
brings back memories of that awful fight.
What you said and how you threw your fist,
And it makes me wonder if I’m really cut out for this.
I miss you when you are not here the...

I Bruise EasilyDon’t get too close
I might shut you out,
don’t talk bout love
I might add more bricks
to the chamber that shields my heart,
The fragile foundations
of my ability to love without fear
can crumble at any moment
the warning sign says fragile heart
protected at all...

Punching a BruiseMy fingers press on
blue batterings
for the craft of lavishing
all the things that mattered
not a week ago.
I try to hate you
like a sticker on my puckered mouth
to take the light from my eyes
to make you rage and lash
crashing your jaw to think
that...

He BruiseThe Israelis can not agree
Upon whom their leader should be
They are told to pray
But what should they say -
Pronoun M, F, X, or all three?...

Limerick
Imprinted Self MessageStubbing a toe hurts like hell
Count to ten or curse and yell
Never to learn, walking in bare feet
When suddenly brick pillar my foot did meet.
Limping, near crying I hobble indoors
My stupidity again put me in the wars
Elevating my foot hoping pain quickly ease
Controlling...
