Limerence

He was like a ray of sunshine in my heavy heart

Where did he tremble to?
He remembers the rain
He remembers her skin
He remembers her crying
She never gave in
But he gave up
way too easily
And slept through her fire
He remembers the day all too clearly
Vividly haunting him in his restless hours
He remembered everything
But he never remembered me

*

The bed rolled her knickers right up
She remembered his tender touch
It was never enough
She never realised it was never enough
But he could feel it
And it hurt
It hurt until it boiled his veins

A love that began so sweetly
That tasted so pure
Now ends in contented confusion
They were both never really sure

Eye

I never saw my eye
I never found it
Until I sucked myself

Her heart never beat the same

Maybe sweat released her inner self
Bound by an inward breath

She found her heart
Clenched between her teeth
Lips coated in juices
Above a restless tongue
And in there lye
Knitting neatly
Was her own eye
Stitching
Bleeding
As she sang
Oh so sweetly
''They never found the needles
They never found the needles.''

Inside the porcelain


''..in her own queer, female way, she was serious to the bottom of her soul.''

Leave the light on
Leave the light on, please

Heart is heavy
Sunken in blood
Not ready for love

She struggled to digest it

''There was nothing inside the porcelain.''

Creatures



There are some things in life that are mysteries
Some things in life that need no reason why
Some things in life that have no answers, no questions
There are some things in life that are innocent, no matter how tainted or torn
These creatures are silent, and have remained a mystery since the day they were born

''How foolish human creatures can be''

Fair thee well Poppet


''Fair thee well''
he said, with a poppet in hand.

Fair thee well

Red was the colour in his hands.
He handed her a bunch of Roses
with a smile cut sharp
across his face

''There's a baby in there''

There's a baby in there

Red was the colour of his hands

Ridges

I always knew you were there.
Like a witches finger,
scrawling up my back.
Your tiny little bones,
edged in deep
and fit perfectly
with the ridges in my back.
Now we're connected
and there's no turning back.
For the roots in my heart
form the outline of a child,
whose threads that went missing
are the same ones as mine.

A child is starved
A child is fed
And we'll weave this way forever
until we rest among the dead.

''But perhaps...

..their strong and aristocratic silence, the silence of strong trees, meant something else.''

Women's bodies merged out of the trees, 
dark, bulbous trees.
They appeared everywhere.
Soft, low voices.
Women's voices, breathless.

Stood, at the top of a small hill,
looking up at the sky.
It was bright, sunny.
Yellow/orange circle filled my eyes
and there lye a symbol,
a star,
and in the middle of the star, 
an eye,
a women's eye,
the Devils eye,
cast over like a shadow
in the deepened yellow/orange sky.
