Poems Present.....


Hey all!
For my second post I decided to show some of the lyrics I have been writing recently. I write alone and with a band and they produce quite different results. I find that what I write with the band often comes out darker and often more sexual. This may be because when I write alone it is just me and my keyboard and it doesn't have the darkness or richness that the band enthuses. It has been nice for me to work with other musicians in the writing process and surprisingly it hasn't made me hold back lyrically-if anything I am more free.
The first two songs are with the band and the last was written alone.
Hope you enjoy!
Look out for my next post where I will be setting goals for my future projects.

Die with a Smile
A web woven from the finest silk
Led to tears like dewdrops stuck to it.
A catcher of passing dreams
And nightmares
Called you in
To their
Fairytale

Tempted bodies
Who lay unaware.
Spread their fingers
Closer to it
Poison dripping in
Paralyzed
Wrapped up
Ready to die
With a smile
Die with a smile

Tilts her hat
And calls to you
Licks her lips
She’s ready for you
Wraps her self around you
It feels so good
Knowing nothing
Can save you

Tempted bodies
Who lay unaware.
Spread their fingers
Closer to it
Poison dripping in
Paralyzed
Wrapped up
Ready to die
With a smile
Die with a smile

La Petite Mort
You crawl
Into my thoughts
You stir
The parts
That slumbered
So long
That yearned so long

Asphyxiated
Yet so alive
I'm so wet
My mouth is dry
I'm burning up inside
La Petite Mort
My suicide

My nails
Your back
This armour
Is cracked
No protection
From this 
Dark obsession

Asphyxiated
Yet so alive
I'm so wet
My mouth is dry
I'm burning up inside
La Petite Mort
My suicide
 
Committed 
I opened my gates
That you tried to batter down so long
But when I opened them up
You had gone
I can just see your back now
And you are too far down the path
To shout to
To run to

When I hear committed
I think of a padded cell
Would I have to be crazy
To commit myself ?
To you
When you don’t want me after waiting so long

The mask has fallen
And tears wash away
My last defenses
My army of doubts
Have gone AWOL
And I’m left here
With these empty hopes
That are no good
For fighting
This weary battle

When I hear committed
I think of a padded cell
Would I have to be crazy
To commit myself?
To you
When you don’t want me after waiting so long

Ghosts of Poems Past....

Welcome to my Poetry Blog!
I have decided to use my first post to share some of my poems which I unearthed the other day. 
For me my poetry is like a diary and often can be hard to look back on if it is documenting a difficult time. Often though, these times makes us who we are and show that sometimes something creative and beautiful can come out of a time of adversity.
Look out for my next Post- Poems Present.
I hope you enjoy!

Masks 
A swallowed word
A bitter pill
These ills I hide
Beneath calm eyes
To envelope your fear
To try to smother it
To repress it
Seems healthy
But soon enough
You will be sick
And that which you try to hide
Will be ruining your shoes
And follow you with each step

A mask is beautiful
But becomes horrifying when its' wearer is revealed
A breath out needs a breath in
These truths we speak are sweetened with lies
These soft tears hide
The grit of salt that
Heals the wound

I let blood
In my shower
So my veins could cry too
They needed to feel
The thrill of falling
Like I have for you

Whispers haunt my ears
I speak rubbish to drown them out
Because truths' sword hurts
But cleanses the soul
He grants freedom
To those that are bold



No 'we' in 'I'
You'll live in a light house
That keeps its' lights off
Lures broken hearts onto the rocks
I'll watch mouthing stay away
But at least I'll live to see another day

I might drown if I try to reach you again
This alone will be my deterrent
But what if you get lost again and end up on my shore
Will I stay or run away
This time will I die trying to mend what was already broken
Speaking words better left unspoken


I live out each life in my head
While sleeping alone in my bed
But I know that I must live in the now
Neither the future nor the past
And remember there's no 'we' in 'I'


Intervention 
I see myself
Deep crimson
Pouring from my mouth
Black and blue
Marks my heart
My feet so tired
From running to you.
My eyes blinded by tears
And my breath all expired
Like my feelings for you.


Premonition
Of what could be
If I spin in these circles for too long
It's time to stop dancing so fast
Stand still on my own
Wait for the room to stop moving
My heart to be calm again
My head to be sane again


I stroke my head
Caked in blood
Cradle my beaten body
So cold and hard
So battered
And broken
Falling apart
I try to breathe some life
Into this frail frame
Whisper words
To console the spirit
which hasn't quite given up.
