like a page you could turn, 
a book you could throw casually aside, 
to be eternally forgotten in electric shady libraries;

My life started with rain,
the steady stream of drops,

sheltered by a makeshift roof and 
a border of trees.

It begins with a chase, where I jump swerve and run
Always two steps ahead of my frustrated mum
I duck under the table and knock over chairs
rush down the hallway and dash up the stairs

When finally...

Why won’t you answer me
When I say your name?
You simply stand there
Like we’re playing a game.

A great story you should know
You cannot ignore this
So let your listening ears show.

To build each brick, cell, prison, tower,
Keeping each...

Thou Art a Witch!

Of the danger when church and state are intertwined.

The clock insists it's after five.
Now comes the hardest part of day,
The long, infernal homeward drive.

I leave my job and peace behind

I learn now she is no more,
The heart just couldn’t bear the stress,
Cold and still, lying on the floor
With an unworn wedding dress.

I sit here pondering
Over once true love gone at last,
The mind now begins...
