All The Faces

A way of being scared no longer
This time it might
Just last.
The night boils
Like a photograph
Left in the sun
All the faces that I knew
Blown from my mind
Torn away
Take their words, please
When they go.
A mind gone blank
Sun bleached film
Turning me away from all
I know
Lost in the fog
Being scared is where I belong.
Lay low, fearful
Breath catching in my throat
And all I see
Is the night boiling away
To nothing

Sunflowers

Sunflowers painted
On my skin. The flower with
Scratching leaves
Feathered heart
Facing down towards the ground
Awaiting the sun
They rise, they bloom
Growing hot in the summer blaze
Rising to occasion
Bringing up their
Hearts. Fire and gold mustard glisten
Centre deepen black.
Sunflowers scatters
Beauty as they twist to see the sun
(Drawn scratchy
On the page
It does not look real
The refracted image of you.)

Pictures
02:16
|

Shutter clicks
And captures us still
Framing people
Ones who we’ll never be again
Forgetting who we are here
Morphing into something
new so swiftly.
The day moves on taking with it, memories
Which will fade
There is no stopping
As to dark it descends
And the images are all that we have left
Pictures of people we forget.

Bring Me New
00:51
|

Please deliver your words to me
By hand, bring them to my door.
Fill my world with words
Music that will burn away the dust and dirt
I linger in.
Bring me new.
Fill my life with fresh.
Something different…
Bring your words to me.
