Head Mess

Head Mess

I can't shake the mess in my head
I think i'd be better off dead
The problem with that though
will be today or tomorrow
I wake in the next world
where everything's unfurled
and the mess in my head 
which made me want to be dead
will be the same issues to be dealt
and the same feelings to be felt
and unless faced with strength it's damned infernal

Adoration

A gushing response,
deeply forgiving.
Oral translation,
ripe for the picking.
ADORED AREN'T YOU?
Thrilling moments,
Isolation abating,
Overdone on the waiting,
now.

Simply

Simply, so easily
her senses fill her mind.
Ideas, illusions,
dreams sometimes.

Always fixed on one ideal
unable to for-fill.
Interpolated,
completely deflated.

Who's ideal is it anyway
mankind?

Civilization, Civilized
creation destroying.
Unhappy at the desires inside
creates a release for herself

New love enters
intellect cares for
makes aware
a place in her heart to receive.

Utopia

Utopia;

it spoke to her.....

said, "Fill this space"

so she did.

I Want Through a Man

Man, Man, Man,

I want to purr every night,
hum like a bird.
Feel his warm commitment,
a man that loves,
he is not faint hearted.
A man that is brave,
sure of what he started.

Not scared of the future,
committed to stay,
sure of his desire,
unable to sway.

I want him here with me,
I want him today.

I'm in want of a lot now,
easy to disappoint.

I don't really care,
disappointments a good one,
it remembers to say,
"Don't go down that road - it's not the way!"

Disappointment can lead you the best way to go,
get it right next time,
you just never know!

The Play Is In Her Head

The play is in her head.
It should be in her bed.

Desire so contorted,
out of control,
fantasy eludes her,
makes her a fool.

She gives him the power,
the power to say;
"Today you can wonder,
tomorrow dismay,
but then maybe the next day,
you just never know,
I'll make you so happy,
you'll suck and you'll blow"

For he is her puppeteer,
she hangs on his strings.

I'll give her some scissors,
see what that brings!

Hypnotised

I feel hypnotized.
The flame is strong,
my passions aroused,
it shouldn't be wrong.

There's nothing to stop me,
my wit dimmed by light.
I fly towards my death,
it was always my plight.

I can't wait to get there,
a straight line would do.
Dive bomber - moths away,
I land in a loo.

I Wanted You To Stay

Once, twice, three times lately
Strength, I felt it
it's here to stay matey,
A direct question
chance of a straight answer?
I am that brave
I won't grow cancer.
Do you know?
if doubt prevails
I'll set my sails
It's then obvious
there's no chance for us.
I've given sincerely
created
deflated
changes
remain with us.
where are you going?

Far away.


I wanted you to stay.

Lover Don'T Leave

Give me a bit of credit,
I was told that's how you fed it.
The hole in your sole,
filled with bright light,
shone from a lover with deep insight.
welled up with feelings all warm and driven,
completeness remains,
a love that is given.
a heart made aware,
a long to receive.
give give give

yo lover don't leave!

Elemental

Live your fire,
quench your thirst,
fly your dreams,
land back on Earth.
