I didn't want today, So I took it and Threw it away. I didn't want to moan So I went and hid someplace alone, Wrapped up warm, Trapped at home, I didn't want today, So I took it And threw it away.
Time passes so quick- Every passing minute, Every tick, tick, tick - The days hurry past, In hours barely seen, Seconds fly fast - Where have they been? Is a minute so long, All stuck in-between, Soon forgotten, In the passing, tick - tick …
[Going to be read by my mum at my Great Uncle Ken's funeral this Friday. I'm posting it here as my tribute to him and his amazing art despite a 26 year battle with illness, as I can't be there on the day. I'm not sure of the author, if you …
While not quite within this world, I lie back with fists tightly curled, The blankets held tighter and fingers turning whiter, I look past our realm of light and travel seamlessly into night, The dream, more real than day, picks me up and c…

Such mystery within the minds and hearts of men, Hoping always to be captured by the ink and pen, With folded leather and a spirit tree here, Do not be afraid to shed a word or tear, Nothing too big, nothing too small, Here all is important…
Me and you - Surely we'd have a clue? Just a few words to act as glue? Show my appreciation, I must, A little wink and ounce of trust, But what to write in this card? Why is Valentine's quite so hard? "It's easy to love you." (But it's…
On Valentine's Eve, The hearts tickle out, Into the streets and up into the sky, Filled with hope and a quiet shout, If love is the answer then why - Be alone, if love holds the key, Why not enter that new home? On Valentine's Eve, The he…
"I have pondered life," said a cricket to a frog, "and reached a rather unusual conclusion." The frog, bemused by his talking dinner, merely blinked for a moment before the cricket continued. "I tried to find meaning and purpose," The cri…
We have the same conversation, Just circling around, About me looking up, While you stare down, It seems a lot about nothing, A fuss I create from thin air, But you say the same things, It's like you're never really there, Frustration boils…

So, I'm at 700, It's been quite the ride, Being part of opuss - I'm really full of pride, Thank you for reading, My unsaid words, I think it's best now, I return to the birds. Back to uni tomorrow for exams - catch you all again soon :) P…
#bestofopuss - personal favourite Like gems of every colour they shine in flickering candlelight. A silence holds over the life-giving orbs as the sun falls from the naked sky; lighting the world in pinks, reds and oranges to end its life …

Lost on the waves, Pondering its death, There is a heart - Adrift in the depths, Wondering at its place, When we are apart, And I forget your face, Overshadowed by dark, As fingers entwine in lace, A heart beats on, Silently, Adrift in th…
I lie naked next to Time, His fingers gently entwined with mine, I kiss his chest softly, "You must want me awfully," He chuckles, as I mumble sweetly, Of how I love him so completely, I treasure his perfect gifts, Of seconds, minutes, hou…
My legs are tied in Chains, As tears fall in my Hands... ... I'm lost so far Away, In some forgotten Lands, Shrunk so small, a Little me, Lost where none can rEally see... But I won't stay small, No way! It's time for me to Grow tall, To…
This year your heart will heal, you continue to learn and grow as a person and continue to edge closer to the freedom you crave. Unfortunately, you'll be stuck in the same country for the whole year and your 'Travel Twitch' will look lustf…

To me, in the mirror, I look just fine, But the scales; How they like to whine, Too much Xmas - Was it the mince pies? Not too much damage, Still the same size, Something nudges, Tips me off the edge - Back to healthy eating, And lots and …
We tremble, And fall, D r i f t d o w n wards, Feel small, RISE up again, Dance In the rain, Before Plunging In Dark, Unholy, Unrestful, Sleep... Shaking, moving, Lost in un-awakening, Cli…
I threw a bottle in the sea, Inside; a tiny piece of me, Set adrift on a falling tide, Left to waters vast and wide, A small slither of my soul, To leave me with a tiny hole, Sent on waves of blue and green, To a far off land, none have see…
What do the reindeer do, After Xmas and the hullaballu - Do they eat well and work out, Or binge, drink, sing and shout? Does Santa give them a break, Bake them a New Year's carrot cake? Perhaps a holiday now the work is done, Just a coupl…
Just two weeks more, my sweet, Then our hands and lips will meet, Actions born from words unsaid; The whispers wrote whilst in bed, Curled with the duvet, encased, Imagining your sweet embrace - Distance can feel oh so mean, But it'll be do…
A bumpy road still travels, Like a ball of yarn unravels, To snake across our hearts, From wherever we lie apart, Like a kitten I toss it in the air, And think of words to say I care, While miles away you think the same, And wonder, too, at…
Will you picture this, blank-canvas style, will you give me a moment - it'll only take a while... A journey to a far off land, come, here, child - let me take your hand. It'll be simple, like a crisp, white sheet or a new spring d…
To any of you that have read my mini 4 part series called "Choices in Love" I thought I should explain that it stems from a very real part of my life. My boyfriend, Paul, has suffered with Crohn's disease, a type of autoimmune irritable b…
You've left marks on my heart, Like footprints or scars, Or just fresh wounds, From an invader from Mars, I wonder if they'll heal, Or transform into something new, Perhaps if we stick together, It'll be something like glue, All I know, i…
Part 4 - Winter "I've just had enough, I hate it..." His voice said softly behind his tears. It was all I could do to hold him, gently yet firmly against my chest. "It'll be ok," I hoped, "They're sorting you out - this is a good thing."…
Write me a poem, Or write me a song, I don't care if it's short, Or massive and long, I just need words, With rhythm and rhyme, I need a special piece, Something to stop time, And steal me away, Hold open my eyes, And fuel my wings, With ri…
Part 3 - Autumn I was vaguely aware of the uncomfortable lumps in the ragged old hospital chair as I dozed in the late autumn sunshine. The light felt warm and comforting on my cheeks, taking me away from this dreary place back to the warm…
I miss you with all my heart, I'm sorry, my love, to keep us apart, To lay in your arms; drift into sleep, This memory held close, I long to keep, You understand, better than I, How I need to go, how I must fly, I'll miss you wi…
Nose bent in and eyes askew, I couldn't look, oh what to do? Just another human face, Yet so tortured - out of place, Eyes that roam but cannot see, Suddenly grateful for all that's me, A lip juts out, teeth grind down, Yet in her deformit…

Do not lay, Imprisoned, Alone, Do not lay, On this Cold, Hard, Stone, Do not lay, In bloodied fear, Do not lay, Without me, dear.
Part 1 - Spring It was a rare, crisp spring day where the sun shone as if it had just been born and the clouds parted for the blue sky in celebration of its arrival. Its crystalline, pure rays shattering the last few grips winter had on th…
Don't lose sight of what's right, or what basks in a warm-red light, A heart un-gagged, a soul un-masked, New, trembling body, with what is asked, A strength found deep, never lost, Even in sleep, A terrible fever of life and love, A deli…

No essence of doubt, Nor trembling fear, I just lean in closer, A whisper in your ear, My warm breath, Tickling your skin, And that same scent, Of our lovers sins, Pink, moist lips move, And form the words, Feeling a heart flutter, Like win…
A warm coffee in my hands and a head full of plans, As I sit here and learn, with books most would burn, One I can barely lift, that makes me a bit miffed, So much to do, so much to say, yet so few days, A moment of peace to ponder and won…
The tasteless food and unhappy mood, the grumpy isolation and lack of interrogation. A world on crack, where leaders need a 'whack' but there is no light, only the dark of night. We are bleeding, people needing all there is - nothing less,…
In this winter's hearth, You are a broken flame, The captured beast, Willing and ready to tame, Held back by brick, Imprisoned in bliss, Hungry for the ice, And my winter's kiss, I see your orange eyes, Watching my icy grip, As blue fade…

This road is smooth, So I'll make a bump - Slow down the speed, Let the Tarmac crack and grow with weeds, This road is smooth, So perhaps take heed, I make my potholes, I drink the n.e.e.d..... A road too smooth. A slippery slope, Lost in…
My heart is unyielding. It pounds under my skin and I have no want to stop it. My heart was meant to LIVE. How it grows, by the hour - by the very minute - with love and life and wonder... Oh how my heart is so very alive... And yet, …
Head - pounding, Drums - sounding, Heart - breaking, Soul - awakening... Thee are for thy waste. Belittled with impending haste. Who hath done this torture of the mind? When all that was tried, was kind?
The falling of bricks and stones, To lay on the ground as bones, From the shell of old, the new arrives, The cold passing of time not a surprise... A goodbye, good riddance? To an eye-…
It is ice... Yet liquid. Chilled, frozen hard but flowing, caressing my every vein and every artery. Directing my every crimson muscle in to a motionless hibernation. Pale blue with streaks of silver. Shining like molten diamond, splittin…

A mass of congealed, black monster struggles and squeezes through aching veins. A purge of slime sweeping up everything in its path and adding it to its bulk. The pace is slow, the pressure weakening, A rotten heart - failing, But the clot…
Drops from my eyes, Falling like rain, It's all I can do... To cry for your pain, The wishing is done, But neither side has won, Hold on to me, tight... 'Cause I want to make it right.
A sigh... a simple breath, falling from moistened lips, Tumbling, a gentle wave, Over chest and hips, I sigh... with hands enclasped, A gentle feeling, I hope does last.
At the corner of your eye, The beasts stalk the night, A running army so fast, But freeze in the light, Silent as a mouse or moth, With a cloak dark and black, Hiding in every corner, Just waiting to attack, An octa-monster, Ugly as sin, "…
There is a wooden door, Sat at the back of my mind, Where everything is possible, Only just hidden behind, The oak is tough, The corner dark, But me and this door, Shall never part, Give me a moment, Of quiet and peace, I will open it a c…
I only care for the 'now', Not the past, future, when or how, I don't fall easily, I make no vows, So to these 'ifs' I raise my eyebrow.
You. Him. Her. Me. Everyone the same. Everyone searching, Crawling through this game, The soiled words of life, Told over and over again, OVERUSE IS FRACTURE. Now there is no meaning left. You. Him. Her. Me. We are all the same. Who made …
It was all there, Within my grasp, For a moment or two, I thought it'd last, But pancakes... They're better dead, Rather than enjoyed, From the other side of my head.
I keep a sliver of my silver soul, Alive and hidden for when I'm old, To rest away from prying eyes, The hypocrites, and their lies, To keep the silver free and light, It must hide from life's plight, Heartbreak, betrayal and loss, Just too…
I am not old and weary, With eyes heavy from scenes retold, Remembering the rain, Where new stories began to be told, I had whispered then, And will again, My soul and I will never grow old.

Some things in life seem so repetitive, Like the TAP TAP TAP In my head; it's starting to feel negative, Some things in life seem so repetitive, Like the TAP TAP TAP Stress is just far too negative.
Of the many tender, gentle hearts that walk this earth there is one tenderer and gentler than all others. It beats wildly in the chest of a young girl, a simple milk maid with stark red hair hung in loose curls about her waist. Her jade ey…
When your eyelids grow heavy, And the dark closes in, The dream-maker will come, To trace your every sin, He has no cloak of night, No staff or curved knife, The owls do not cover him, As hands grasp about your life, No weapons, yet he come…
I am a forgotten flower, Blooming for the bees, One day to be plucked, By a man down on his knees.
I am a forgotten flower, Blooming for the bees, One day to be plucked, By a man down on his knees.
Red feathered wings spread out in an arc as I tumble and fall in the endless dark, Through clouds and heavenly crowds of white angels standing proud, Where I had dared to speak among the scared - To shout and shout out so loud the fatal ca…
Can I just fall away to drift, From an ancient crystal cliff, Where above the sky is alight, Giant red-orange burning bright, The sunset of forgotten moons, Hearts and lovers tired old swoons, Held in a floating, far off place, Where fallin…
Come to me tonight, hold me in your arms, close and warm and tight. Whisper away all the worries that harm, for if you come, everything will be all right.
Demons hunt and demons prowl, Jumping about, frightening an owl, The dark cloaks their eyes, But that is not their demise, For the night is fuel to drink, Its navy swirling shadows of ink, The curl as fingers on your throat, A shadow bringi…
Lonely in the midst of faces, A moving, dynamic crowd, Surrounded by talk and chatter, Some looking sad, some proud, Walking, side by side - connecting? I wonder at this desolate place, As I look on, puzzling it over, How i'm part of this …
There was a little boy, Who fell from the sky, And all anyone would do, Was keep asking "why?" The boy didn't have a plane, This boy didn't have wings, He was up in the sky, Without any flying-things, "Of course I fell," said he, When you…

My feet are bare, Naked on the sand, Beside me you walk, Hand resting in hand, Golden waves on the land, Where the grains trickle down, Walking onwards, forwards, Toes printing on the ground, I look to the horizon, To see what is mine, An…
I want to say "I love you", Because I feel it's almost true, Either beside me, or within me, It is glowing, Humming - quietly, I wonder if you see... But here I am, Lost, Held close, Yet tossed, Sunken in dreams that smirk and trick…
As night consumes, I miss you tonight, For if you were here, You'd chase away the fright.
Your scent in my hair, As if you are here, Holding me close, To place gentle kisses, Down my nose, Leaving you... What do I do? Except think, And ponder, On things a little pink, While circling in black - The dreaded 'goodbye' Launches its …
Who am I to pin you down, Down, set fast on the ground, Pinned to a tree, or on my knee, Lost with the fairies and the bees, Who am I, to trust your soul, Dig deep inside me, fill an empty hole, Trust may set us free - But where will tha…

A spark flew - From me to you, Lingering in a kiss, Travelling in static Elec-tris-ity, Perhaps given by, The heart of the city, Or nothing but Our simple kiss, Where electrons flew, From lips to lips?
Who was it that heard the word of the tiniest bird and heard what it spoke that was full of such love and life that it fell from above - who was it that heard this dove? The tiniest bird that spoke of love and fell from above, wh…
You fear the birds above in the sky, And the dog that runs on by, Are you scared Tell me, why, of even a mouse? As you run in back inside?
Does it really matter that I could lie in your arms, day after day? Is it just me, or do we fit together in so many ways?
Like gems of every colour they shine in flickering candlelight. A silence holds over the life-giving orbs as the sun falls from the naked sky; lighting the world in pinks, reds and oranges to end its life in glory. Dark, grey-shadowed clo…

Nestled between the roots, Earthy and dusted in soil, Guarded on each side, By tiny grey gargoyles, The little wooden doors, Coloured brown and green, They hide away so well, They're hardly ever seen, This is where magic lurks, Where fair…
It's interesting to reflect on who you are. Especially as I'm a firm believer that we change a little, or a lot sometimes, every day. I think my sense of self is highly dynamic, an equilibrium of a hundred different factors. But I'll shar…
Bottles and bottles, They line the walls, On a hook is a cloak, Eaten and mothballed, Little yellow eyes scowl, Over a hooked nose, Dressed all in black, Even her pantyhose, A mouse keeps its fleas, As in walks her cat, The witch looks up…

Silver bark is scarred with ghostly faces and its branches reach up into the starlit sky. As I climb higher and higher, toes stealing every grip, The stars and universe circle on by, My climb is steady, I do not slip, The navy…
I wonder if I can bare it, The simple loss of you, How it would be bitter, As I wonder what is true, Even as I miss you, And push away all fear, The glimmer of loss grips me, And I almost shed a tear, Yet here you are, Beside me now, You ca…

We each took some piece, A piece of our being, As offering to the other, That we were finally seeing, It's like a ribbon, A ribbon I never knew, From a place inside, In an unknown view, Now it wraps us up, Holding our hearts, A soft, silk…
A silver fox, almost transparent in the gloom, runs past my feet with a chill. I watch this strange cousin of mine, my wolf-eyes looking on as he darts between trees and rocks, sniffing the air yet smelling nothing. His death frustrates h…
Raining rainbow maze, Under heavens misted haze, Where angels sing and pluck harps, Learning life's long songs, As rainbows dance in arcs, A mirage of mirrors, Under pearly white clouds, And golden rain around the doves, As angels gather in…
I once felt alone, A shallow, yet, Deep wound, On a darkened silhouette, Fading to grey, From black with a lost will to stay, But I kept swimming, Against the tide, Perhaps a complex, Or perhaps my pride, All I know, Is now deep inside, The…
Mist swirls around my ankles, silver fingers curling in tight as the night closes in. Knurled old oak trees stand naked and dark against the navy sky. Their silent slumber only broken by the creaking of their ancient limbs in the wind. The…
I don't mind falling, When it is falling for you, I don't mind endless talking, So long as it is true, I don't mind waiting, I'll stand in this queue, I don't mind this feeling, So long as you don't mind, too.
It crept around me, Where I sat, Slipping softly, Across my lap, Sinking deeper, Lost in sad, The draining colour, Of turning mad, Slithering menacing, The fatal blue, Until it was banished, By little, old you.
Two rocks collide, One white, One black, Dark as night, They spiral, Closer, Racing, A rollercoaster, Of passion and fire, A no longer secret Desire.
I wonder who I am, And I know it, I wonder what we are, Then I know it, I see a little spark, Circling between us, A tranquil arc, That just sticks, To rock us together, And roll off life's kicks, Ignition of dust, Blown away in the wind, A…

I have wings, pure white, Cutting through the air, A blissful, transient existence, Without capture or care, I fly through the dawn, The sunset and twilight, Finally, a resting place, A simple perch, just right.
Just a little note to apologise for missing your work, and I do, genuinely, miss all the great reading. But university comes first and I've got a packed schedule especially over the next few weeks with the new academic year, my sports clubs…
As the race gets faster, I get slower, Drifting back, Way behind the main pack, I don't want to run, So fast, under the burning sun, I just want to walk, Leisurely, so I can talk, Stop for a while, Give time to smile, But then rest is con…

A heartless evil reigns behind your eyes. A cold, black pool of tar, oil; seeping into everything you touch. Dripping in onyx drops that shimmer with silver as they collect around the space your soul used to live in. You made a deal, a s…
The mistress of the night looks up at the night sky and scowls, something is missing - something important. A black velvet cloak falls behind her heels as she walks the horizon. Stars pin back a few strands of her hair while red fire shine…
Man on stage, oh, how you straddle the strings that hold me together. I am a guitar in your arms, a mic in your palm, a shuddering, tormented wreck - like a nerve exposed. Pulsing on naked skin, I shudder. My mind is blank yet full to the…

At the bottom of a wizard's orchard, Is a secret hidden in the leaves, You can hear them beating, When you forget about the breeze, Just waiting to be plucked, Red, plump and ripe, These are many hearts of love, Just come find your type.
Red wine has trickled away down thirst-bitten throats while curling, blackening, corners sparkle in the fire; the rejected passions of a lover's notes, The mirror-skin of water turns to ice, melting at the edges as a pale, dying, sun peak…
Can I look for perfection, Hiding in your eyes, Looking in the wrong place, Knowing this is all lies, Waking up with fairies, Dancing behind my eyes, When hearts are hidden, Far behind all the lies.
Ripping apart the dictionary, And folding wrong corners, The alien comes in howling, Like extradited foreigners, A jumble of abandoned emotion, Clattering inside my weary head, Like smartie-fuelled five year olds, Discovering a brand new h…

Sleep won't come, As I toss and turn, While sulking, alone, My heart does yearn, An ice block melting, From hopes warm glow, A wish for a summer, A love without snow, Let it be fruitful, Keep my eyes dry, A brand new world, I'm eager to try…
A pure green meadow, No blooms in the trees, No colours, no shine, Not even honeybees, Silence surrounds us, No scent in the breeze, No warmth in the sunrays, Not a wave on the seas... I rest against your chest, Hearing a song without birds…
You have a choice to make. Right now. Live or die. But NOT for yourself, for another life. Perhaps a person, perhaps an animal. It is still life. You must make this decision, and you alone. A soul in your hands. Whatever the outcome, …
I married a dying man. The dress was pure ivory, laced at the top and tucked in around my chest. My curled, blonde hair was clipped back with blue ribbons from my face. He was just as I imagined him to be. Tailored suit, shiny shoes, so …
I fell. It hurt. The ground rushing up towards me was the last thing I remember. Then dark. Painful darkness. And now my body seemed to be listening to my commands again, I blinked - hard - trying to adjust, seeking to understand. …

I'm in another place, A forgotten face, Lost in the crowd, Never again proud, Invisible, invisible me, Now no one can see, Where none will ask, What's under my mask.
. I'll lead you away, Some where cool, Or warm, does it matter? Just someplace, new, Where dragonflys dance, in the morning d…
I heard the shout again. Illegible but.... Human. Definitely human. My mind buzzed, I felt my jaw drop at the thought. But I was alone, my head said, no one else survived the plane crash... I buried each one myself... It was Day 5…
My hand Is like My heart, An empty, Echoing space, Lost once, Or twice, In the emotional, relationship, Rat-race, Misguided education, Learnt too soon, To believe lies, About the stars, And reaching the moon, Beaten down, Wearily, Carefull…
Churning deep in my gut, A trembling, Piercing, pain, A rut, Where my soul rusts, Bathed in a wood fire's glow, An old cabin, Cloaked in snow, The pain sweeps across my cold old bones, The trembling returns, Slinking closer, Closer, To the…
As smoke clouds rain down, I toss and turn in weary sleep, Dipping from nightmare to dream, Yet I make not a squeak, My silent agony unfolds, Somewhere between the sheets, I tumble in a forgotten fire, Into the arms of hell's cheats.
An emerald butterfly perched, Upon my shoulder without a lurch, She looked at me with giant spheres, And told me all that she feared, "I am such a little thing, you see," She fluttered her wings at me, "If I say I love you, will you take me…
Together we lie, side by side, Come closer... *R-i-p.* "what's that?" Toss. Turn. Pull away. *Riiiiiip* Don't move, argh, "Shh, its just the cat." *drip*drip* now the fucking tap... Groan. "get off you stupid cat! That's that!" ...*beeep*be…
[one bad word] A purple liquid boils, Inside me, As I sweat and toil, I submerge myself, Beneath its skin, Let the liquid, Take me in, My worse crime, Was this passion, The purple laced black, This obsessive reaction, I know you, How you a…
Raindrops fall in ribbons from my eyes, A gentle trickle of a flood in disguise, Won't you hold me, forgive me, Hear my pitiful plea? Look past the rainbows and the joy, Set out amongst the doves to destroy, As a white feather falls to mist…
I can't feel my eyes anymore, The numbness, From icicles grown under my skin, Snow, glacier blue-white, Restlessness frozen in a block, Cold as stone, Left to drip, Ice stalactites, And work to trip, Unsuspecting terrors, Unfolded in the ni…
Careful. Don't - breathe - Don't - even - blink. The aquamarine water shimmered slightly as I reposition a leg that is starting to cramp. I cursed the ripples it made. Come on... Come on... Just one... How long must I wait...! My stom…

It creeps up on you... Slowly sweeping, tendrils of tension, Starting in your throat. It tightens, the growing heat and solidity of a presence; sucking its life force from the non-existent realm Of fatal emotion. Moist lips part, I…
Demons sail past my ears, Screaming unheard screams, I drift from one colour to another, As if floating in a dream, The rocks beneath my feet melt, They shift from blue to black, My eyes are closed with longing, As I wait for the demons to …
Take a tipple with me, End up down on one knee, Just one drink, To make you think, The real me you'll ne'er see.
When all the house is empty, And the family have gone out, There is a little old clock, He starts to tick and pout, For when everyone is there, So very quiet is his shy tick, He gets so very angry, He just wants to give 'em a kick! This l…
As you walk the garden path, Stepping from stone to stone, You know I'm here - Waiting all alone, So tip-toe over the hearth at the front door, Come hold me - By the fire on the floor.

Flame-spiked tears prickle my eyes as I watch your lips make the shape "goodbye." I hold you one last time as I fight not to cry, but whatever I do I know this leaving is for good. Why try... Why try to make peace with loss, when all it …
I live to love a world of pure dreams, Where I eat only strawberries and cream, And dance between patchwork seams, A flash of orange and blue zips past, The signature of a kingfisher, Calling me forward, To spend time in miniature, To doze …
Is it some muster of our calling, How we lie so still, yet blissfully falling, A murmur and a whisper, A shout in the dark, The echoing call, Of a night-dwelling lark Living in the shallow pace of life, A slow paddle, or a run through…
I could swim the seven seas, But I fear the salt makes me sneeze, I could fly way up in the sky, But I fear it is way too high, Perhaps I'll sit out this one time, Practice my adventures first in rhyme.
A black smile pulled across her thin pink lips, She danced around the pot, waggling her hips, Frog toes and petals of a dog rose, Three leaves of mint And of lust, just a hint, …
I caught a fairy on the wind, Wings and legs all entwined, She wiggled in my tight grasp But I held her by the ankle, fast, "There's no use wishing on me, I can't grant anything," said she, I blow off her gold fairy dust, "I'm sorry," I …
In a fae-packed room far up in the clouds, A sunlight blanket covers the working crowds, The ringing of metal on ice fills the still blue air, In this sky-shop where snowflakes are prepared, A bored and naughty fae makes two flakes the same…
You are wrapped in her arms, Lying in her sheets and her bed, But she is not me, can't you see? I'm the one wrapped in your head, A twisted mountain of green thought, You lie, moaning in pleasures throws, Flesh bare, flushed with red bloo…
I can almost f e e l you thinking of me, That glint in your blue eyes, It's like I can s e e, You are here, with me - But not, Drifting in my sapphire realm, Thick with silver thoughts, Lear…
Crushed beneath blackened abyss, Dwindling embers never missed, Death wrought by an iron fist, Of hell's army emerged from mist, Purple haze in a torrent of waves, Now cold; a freedom for this slave, Another life spent in hot glory, A winge…
My feet move between realms, a dust-ridden, moss-cloaked path. My feet move me onwards, never backwards, never looking at the past. My eyes search the light, the crisp edge of shadows that glitters. My eyes look to the sky, the trees, wa…
You healed me with a kiss, Taught me how to miss, Let me laugh, and cry, Told me to always try, You made my heart flutter, And my brain utter a mutter, Smile, with a gentle caress, Yes - I'm breathless.
"Follow me into the light," The voice beckons, Cutting through the mist, "Follow me through horror, And I will grant you bliss," The shadows close in about, Shifting the ghostly moonlight, Hiding the source of the shout, "Trust me," Now …
Ok, darn you all. This is ridiculous to judge. So many brilliant pieces, and so much cider and sheep later... I just can't decide on places. I know it's a cop out, but otherwise I'll try place everyone again.... And that's just a boring rea…
Apple juice replaced milk on my cereal this morning, by accident. It was gross. Plus I'm off to judge some sheep, So emotion contest results will be delayed, Incase you were to complain and squeak... Brain is foggy, I'm off to stroke mo…
I learnt the hard way that life wasn't a smooth ride. You can't just sit back without a paddle and let the river take you along. No, what happens when that waterfall comes - do you fly or do you fall? Living in a world of water you have t…

I looked at the stars, And I wished for a hand, Lying back on cool grass, Watching fireflies dance, As the universe circles above, I whisper my little wish, Of a hand for my glove, Just a someone to be mine, Yearn'd treasures in the sky, Th…
Look at me - What do you see? Is it vacant eyes, A mouth capturing lies? Or a warm heart, Laughter lines like art, A gentle smile, Or a glare to run a mile? Am I just a stranger, Wandering this world, Dancing in the rain…
What happened to the stars and the moon? A crumbled up dress of a forgotten loon? Is it all bitten by a darker beast, Taken all light in some great feast? I wish to know the thief of the stars, The moon, the sun and mars, Where is this gobl…

I reached out into the black, Fingers playing in inky dark, Swirling the shadows, To form a small spark, With the night at my command, Kisses drip from my lips, Drawing out new life and love, By the light touch of finger tips.
I hold your tiny life in my hands; an insignificant sparkle of joy. Now left to dwindle in the fading light; those simple dark eyes that used to shine through the night. The loss of such a small life, I see it ebbing away before me in th…
So it's all been a fake - You're not really a man, Out of the closet now, Just because you can, An opussing blue smurf, With a little white hat, And big ears, Why, fancy that! So 'King Leelee', Your other name, Or was it 'Teatea', Are they …
I'm ignoring you, And I don't know why, I push you away, So I don't have to try, I think about loving, But turn my back, This isn't for me - Not something I can hack, I don't know 'right', What is 'wrong'! Why keep singing, This same stupid…
Reality strikes a blackened heart string, By the mere release of such a tiny thing, A life; a small, insignificant treasure, Giving joy no one but I can measure, Knowledge may be power, But in this reality I cower, Knowledge to see more tha…
I look through your tears, a sodden tissue clenched tight, My hopeless murmured comfort, Too little too late, after this black dog's bite, The milky shadow that cloaks your soul, My friend buried beneath, …
A whisper at the corner of my eye, A vision parted, in surrendered lies, Beasts of the light, or beasts of the dark, Lurking and stalking, Stealing away hearts, Leaving them scarred, Defaced and raw, Then handling them back - Returning the…
What is the point anymore? I just lie, crying on the floor, Wondering what life is for, Looking at every closed door, I tremble, releasing a sigh, I give up on wondering why, All that 'who are you?', 'who am I?' And if I left, would you cr…
Translucent kisses laid down, As silent sacrifice, On this now-cold crown, The peace of our mistrust, Slow, sensual metal at rust, Won't you believe and see, At first light, you will leave me For the darkness beckons Close you…
The walls are high, And the bars are thick, The darkness looms, Within this crypt, A shattering cry, Not heard by one, Left so alone, Where fingers drum - Tap - tap - tap, On the rock they go, Sending me in a spiral, Forever low, Within thi…
Perhaps I don't listen - Or I don't understand, How it whispers quietly, About how to deal my hand, I barely hear it, if at all, To be honest, It seems so very small, A little beating thing, Inside my hollow chest, Not like it can sing, Its…
Crinkles form around eyes that twinkle, They whisper of hidden years In their lover's dampened ears, Sixty years together, growing old, Collecting all the stories that are told, Over and over, every dinner time, Yes that one about loosing a…
lavished hips, Vulnerable flesh, Greedily devoured, An empire guarded, By howls on the hour, Darkened eyes, Observing, Star-lit sighs, As the full moon beckons, Daring, A love to be reckoned, Transformed, Running into the dark, Blackened, …
I don't just hear them sing - The rattling cords of the blackbird, And the sharp little cries of a robin, It's like I can feel her every word, The sun is gone from this land, Its passing marked in song, Often I sit here and listen, Wonderi…
The numbness... The banging... The painful dying, the trips on a river of souls to meet old friends and death's warm glow... An end in time, A diamond cut wrong, Added notes in a perfect song, Circular rivers run unknowingly a…
I want to ride on Dragonback, Right up to the stars - the moon, and back, Throwing out my nets and lures, To catch the wishes and gentle cures, For I can't sit and watch you die, When wishes just lie in this sky, With my dragon's great big …
I clamber through the undergrowth, Brambles leave pale streaks on my skin, Trapped in this damp, dark green world, Where the only exit path is deep within, The yellow glow leads me forwards, A tiny glittering fairy as my guide, To just k…
Plump, red and ripe, You're really just my type, So many forbidden uses, Before I suck out all your juices, I'll cover you in cream, Like something from a dream, My tongue will caress you, And all your friends too, Soft, sweet, little delig…
I don't see what's wrong, With the small, humble lem-on, I like its bitter taste, Its happy yellow face, Cheers up the fruit bowl, Even though I wouldn't eat it whole, Why criticise this little fruit? When life is giving you the boot - I li…
I woke up from a dream within a dream, Felt you there, a fabrication held at the seams, Your scent filling my vacant consciousness, Emotion enveloping an unguarded, sleepiness, The memory of a touch, held with a gaze, The whisper of a sigh …
"Morning, Petal," she whispers, Turning on the light; its soft orange glow filling the room, Growing bright, The soft new baby, curled, wrapped up tight, Opening her big brown eyes, A mother's touch; soothing her cries, Comforted and held …
Giant orange spires rise and coil from their emerald bases far below. Their surfaces glint; shattering the sunlight in a million pieces. Here in the sky - amongst the glittering orange spires, dragons fly. Great green wings spread wide in…

Whispering to conspire, Tormented soul, tormented brains, Held still - an arm the only move, A silvery light of the moon, blinkered by a passing cloud - Suddenly two bodies, closer in the shadows, Still. Resisting, And Still, Yet …
Great brown oaks guard this rock, A shining smooth, silvery block, Lying deep in the forest of old, Veins surround, running with gold, Beating with the pulse of the earth, Occasionally burning in glowing rebirth, Really only protected by it…

Look at me this way, As I Stare at the moon, Look at me this way, As if I'll be there soon - Look at me this way, As I Look back at you, Look at me this way, And You'll know I'll be true.
My heart breaks as I leave you, It tumbles Down And Lies at my feet, How can a week pass so fast? It will be Too long 'till our next meet, Eleven as one, a family incomplete yet done, A wonderful, Dysfunctional, Yet Functional, Unit of p…

How lonely are ye to sit below this simple tree, And ponder of a world where passion has toes curled, And flaming rivers run Under a bright, golden sun, A rock sinks in your gut, Looking out from your solitary rut, Is the grass greene…

Marvellous traction in moving inaction, A terrifying motion, unwittingly chosen, Turning wheels and clinking chains, Miraculous machine in pouring rains, Carving your name into the bark, Holding you close in the dark, The full moon glows, a…
Two tiny words, Lighting up my screen, It's not something heard, Just something seen, "I'm missing you." You want to say, But you really can't, No, not today, I ponder for a bit, Decide I'm the same, Then give a little smile, At our new ga…
The relief at my collapse is eternal, Relax, the webs of emotion turned to train tracks in my mind, Tumbling thoughts rolling, steaming into a brightened, flaming abyss of remembered desire, Filtered love, Faltered thoughts and streaming …
I'll tie a silk red ribbon, On a small branch for you, Hoping it'll be found one day, And the knot you will undo, Just resting in the woods, An ancient symbol of heart, Won't you steal me with an arrow, Or pierce my skin with a dart, Roam t…
I lay alone on my side, Thinking of where your body resides, How that, if you were here, You'd curl up behind me, And murmur in my ear, Rough hands coveting my curves, Lingering in dips, Lavishing my hips, Where are you wh…

Backstroke with eight legs, Floating at the top of kegs, Giant wooden barrels, steel rings, Fermenting cider - a marvellous thing, Gallons and gallons enjoyed in secret, An arachnid militias quite elite, They tip-toe across the beams, Quiet…
You sent a tiny guardian, Perhaps to look after my heart, He has no name, just a face, Perhaps so we'd never be apart, With wings speckled silver, And great big dark eyes, Did you give him to me, To make me your prize? He watches over thing…
Chilled fingers up your back, Sweet expectation of attack, Amongst fluttering, dusty wings, And snuffled sounds of other things, She stalks the little ones of the night, Making their black eyes turn white, A starving stomach yearning for mo…

I am cool like ice, Full of cranberry juice, Peach snapps for spice, Peach purée, to seduce, Raspberries on top, Vodka and pomegranate, Passion fruit does the job, My cocktail planet.
Forget about me, a lost soul, Searching for the place to fit, That perfect, little me-hole, Sometimes I wonder, is this it? But no, I move on to another goal.

[sorry for bad word] Your voice drools in unkept distinction, Monotone and repetitive, nothing to say, Your voice a victim of extinction, As you peer from narrowed eyes today, Looking at my hair out of place, Drawling and silently snarling…
So I can run, Run fast, Climb trees, Hide in the leaves, Camouflage My heart, Wall off the world, Leave pages of books With corners curled, Come back another day, Once the fog is gone, Perhaps, again, To hear sweet bird song.
I wish you would just say, Forget all these games we play, Love me, that's all, Don't let me feel small, And then, once done, call it a day.
With a sharp tug, it went away, And I tumbled and fell today, You stole away sure-footed land, And took back a once-held hand, A rug pulled from beneath my feet, Every light turned off in this street, Windows plastered over in paint, My win…

There was a scent in the air that reminded me of you, It made me wish for that hand that would carry me through, I remember your words, your thoughts, your touch so soft, And how, before you and I, before us - I was lost, I enjoy our compat…

To you my heart is lost, Sunk deep in a carpet of soft, sweet moss, Let me curl up with you, To dream a dream Of a world that's new, Tenderly saved from love, Now it is drifting lost So very high above.
As your hand trails around my shoulder, The flames between us glow and smoulder, I feel you edging in, holding me so close, In the comfort of your arms, I have no more woes, The world looks different when I'…

I want you in bed beside me, Just to feel your warmth so near, Perhaps, if I wish hard enough, Beside me now you'll appear?
Tired of longing, Restless in lust, A hunter of souls, Living in disgust, Still in shadows, Pacing the dark, Snatching breaths, Kindling sparks, Behind corners, On an opposite table, Lying in wait, For prey unable, The heart he hunts, He…

There is someone missing, Things just don't feel the same, Why is there such a hole, When I don't even know his name?

Hot summer days, sky so blue, Time for red lips to touch you, The ice is out, those lips pout, Now learn what today is about.
The sky is bleeding crimson tendrils, Whispers of a coming red war, Keep safe your dear children, Lock those windows and doors.
You curl, burn and shrivel, Falling for a monsters drivel, Seeping red inside your head, Don't you know - red is dead.

[Inspired by @bryanrobertheap and @aleishagayle20] Purple fire will melt my feet, I'll wander over to the Lord to meet, I will kneel in eternal flames, Unheard words will voice my appeal, Skin will crisp and burn, For my life, I'll truly y…

Creeping fingers of green and blue, Feel the magic they will bring to you, Wash away my sandy footprints, Leave behind the smallest glimpse, A world beyond our own, Vast, beyond and unknown, It's a time when the shells all sing, Washing up …
Me and my dragon happened to come across a wagon. There was rumbling in his tummy and we spied inside the wagon something yummy. The old man and his donkey, they got such a fright, he looked like a zombie! I thought to be polite, and ask f…
I wish for you, Just bring me something new, I'm tired of trying, I'm tired of buying, There's a heart right here, Just waiting for the all clear, Blackened a bit, not sure why, I know too well you're a good guy, But why is it always the sa…
Too many shots to make rhyme. I think I lost a dime. Now I know the beat and the tune. I'm off to howl at the moon.
I'm not looking for love tonight, Just for rampant fire to ignite, Red smoke can peal around my skin, Bright eyes will watch what is within, But not judge, Or hold a grudge, Unless you're into that sort of thing, Perhaps you would like my w…
There is a dream floating in my mind, it's something sweet, something kind. A fire bursts into life from sparks off a knife. I lay here and stare, right up into the night air, feel you breathe in my hair. Don't you dare... My heart is not…

There's a swelling in my heart, Caffeine consumption is a new-found art, A deep rushing of dark red blood, I hope my dry eyes don't flood, My brain is fit to burst, I await anxiously for this test, I say to the world, "Do your worst. And …
There once used to be a hand to hold, And arms to warm me when cold, I used to look into sea green eyes, And know they never told me lies, There was a comfort in your bed, And sparks of love in my head, Bare legs running through the surf, …
Dragon and I are going out for dinner later, I'll have the soup, And he'll have the waiter.
A wart on her nose, A garden of one thorny rose, A black pointy hat, A spoiled fat black cat, A happy little witch, So why the twitch? This twitchy witchy, She had felt a bit itchy, When out jumped a gnome, Just as she was arriving home, S…

I have a soul that sings, It even has bells it rings, There's something in my blood, That makes it go lud, dud, thud, The beat fills my bones, I'm surprised it doesn't carry down the phone... I have a soul that sings, I'm sure it's even go…

There was a little fairy, She walked out of her eyrie, Bumped in to a friend, But was soon to meet her end, For she offered a cup of tea, ...or three, But forgot how thirsty he could get, So she was made to dig a hole, to sweat, Down and…
What a strange odd thing to find, Did someone really leave it behind? Like a chicken fillet, It's one half of a duet, Except a bit more floppy, Not really an ideal copy, Such mystery it provokes here, Without it are they subjected to jeer?…
I flew on the back of an albatross, After a day of eating applesauce, He told me how to look both ways, When making flowery bouquets, And that the ocean was the sky, Just like October is really July, He swept me far out over the waves, Tell…
Big, white and beautiful, With just a hint of spice, I like to fly away for a bit, That would really be quite nice. [5 exams in the next 4 days... My head hurts]
The world screams at me, Do this, do that, be this, be that! I turn to run, I turn to flee, But I get distracted, by a cat.
Blast! I came in here for a thing or a deed, Me and my mind, we had agreed, This was the place, But it's gone without trace! Those blasted Event Erasers there, I never think to prepare! All I need is something small, Was it my shawl, or a…

I can't help, But be struck, It's too beautiful, It's unreal, Surely not, Perhaps because it's hot, A beautiful world, I am truly in awe, But simple things - grass and trees, It's all I need today, so please, Relieve me my Urban Trap, Send …

They charge across the bath waters, Shouting of the Great Three Seas, Cheeky bathroom squatters, Always upsetting my Siam-ese, I watch them scale the shower, As they mount an attack, I wish they would clean and scour Maybe that would stop …
I lie naked next to Time, His fingers gently entwined with mine, I kiss his chest softly, "You must want me awfully," He chuckles, as I mumble sweetly, Of how I love him so completely, I treasure his perfect gifts, Of seconds, minutes, hou…
[For my brother] I have lived two childhoods, But I am not yet a man, My bones are 14, but I am 19, You may look at me, but I won't really be seen, My rough beard is finally growing, My manner is getting more easygoing, But it has been a …
Fingering the edge of sleep, I have a hard time trying not to peep, It's all so sparkly and mysterious, It makes me all delirious, What a strange old world I keep, Inside my head when asleep, There are great red elephants, And somethings qu…
Take me to your forest, Let me push you against a tree, I may just be a tourist, But I dare you not to flee, The wood is pressed hard against me, The breeze tickles my bare back, Green leaves our marquee, Won't you let me attack? I'll be …

+18's only...probably Spread me wide, Go deep inside, I am your prize, Hear my cries, Give me pleasure, Find your treasure, Lie to me, Forget honesty, Time to be bad, Take away all sad, Night owl reigns, Wild un-contained, Give me a bite, …
A Fairy sits upon a shroom, While a Faerie takes a field to groom, One is chocolate, The other butterscotch, It's like roasties or mash, Card or cash, Two sides of the same coin, But not quite one adjoin, Best friends with bees, Or tiny cat…
I feel it in my belly, I feel it in my gut, That wasn't really jelly, I think you're a silly smut, I saw a fish make a wish, As it tumbled from the sky, Then stole a coat all swish, It didn't fall from high. You see that octopus there? He…
You will always be loved... If you love yourself for whom you are, And know you can change what you don't like about yourself …
In an attic room, high above the bustling streets of the Unknown City, a single, naked, light bulb hangs limply from the ceiling over a large wooden desk. Pieces of paper are strewn across the room, disappearing into thick black shadows not…
You peel off my clothes, And kiss me just so, I tremble at your touch, It's just too much, I'll drag you back to bed, Cause you're stuck in my head, I complain I'm neglected, When really I'm infected, When did you plant that seed? During my…
I dreamt you held me close, Something between us glows, Kiss me softly, Love isn't costly, Hold me close and sigh, Don't whisper goodbye. You're a romantic heart, I daren't rip it apart, We lay here till dawn, Until I awake and find you gon…
I shouldn't miss you, But I do, I think I took it for granted, That you were enchanted, Do I dare call you first? Why do I ponder and curse? Surely this is the solution, Just to allow our fusion? I miss you, I…

A buzzard sat in a tree, full of his ravenous dinnertime-spree, As he spied out on the horizon's sun set, and there wallowing in mud all wet, it was the strangest creature he'd not yet met, A long furry nose, that could deftly pick a sing…

It sends a little hum, Right down to my bum, Laced with milk and sugar, It makes my morning quiver, I slink out of bed - To the kettle I head, I silently hope I am not seen, Before my morning preen, A couple of mugs may break along the way,…
Waving her twinkle-tiny toes, she sat and considered her simple fairy woes, Watching the deep forest grow, from the back of her loyal blue crow, She knew something was amiss, and ruining her sweet fairy bliss, On and on she searched the …
Sun beats hot, Cool ice melts, Hot lips pout, Summer's a-bout, Lemon-cool, Don't watch me drool.
They thunder down the racetrack, With a rider on their back, How their hooves pound, Heavy on hard ground, To get here has taken so much care, But, mighty bones will still wear, Cyclic Repetitive Strain, Over and over again, Bone will bend …
Who ever was looking for steam punk authors (I forgot who, sorry) check out : Gail Carriger, China Mieville and not so steampunk but a dash of it Catherine Webb's Horatio Lyle series.. And of course the classics Jules Verne and HG Wells..
The arrow clicks back in to place, To my target I face, Deep breath and draw back, Time to attack, I feel my bow bend, Don't overextend, Release. It finds its own life lease, Point cuts the air, Monsters beware.

It doesn't take long to make, A little bit of Tea and Cake, After stretching my mind, And arguing with time, Nothing can beat this friend of mine, I may hum a favourite tune, And wonder how it's already noon, The rest of the day can wait, …
Come play, Today is a happy day, So hold your sweetheart's hand, Make them feel grand, Frolic in lush meadows, Listen to their voice echo, Bathe in golden sunlight, Squeeze them tight, Everything will be alright.
I saw you sing, once, A glorious thing, All for a strangers purse, You magic, menacing curse, I can't help but giggle, As you try play fiddle, Oh, loveable rogue, An old witche…
Yippee, hurray, Top fifty you say? A goal so sweet, One loveable feat, Opussians, Thank you, My most humble adieus. [a little thanks for enjoying my rambles, I'm smitten as a kitten]
Every time you say I harsh word, Every time you shove and push, You shrink. Soon you will become nothing, If you aren't already, There's no profit in shoving, Don't take it out on Eddie, or Becky, Get yourself a new teddy. The world does …
I need to get away from here, I need to get some air, The walls are closing in, I'm tearing out my hair, The piles of nightmares grow, Are they breeding in the night? My eyes no longer glow, I just need a good food fight, Or something else …
Inside the can, A tiny little man, Trashing, Popping, Moshing, Unstopping, A randy bubble rave, In a tiny aluminium cave.
I luckily felt myself astound, When I stumbled across @Earthbound, I was just resting on my laurels, When I came across her morals, A significant poke to my imagination, To start to consider reincarnation, So many million species probabilit…

I don't understand your shadow, That you fail to kill with tobacco, Why does it lurk and stalk? I fear the darkness of your talk, Do you set out to scare? Sometimes it's like your not even there, Or is it the beast that mutters? Did it cove…
Hot eyes, Sad lies, Goodbyes, Cold heart, No start, Finished art.
It's such a hard thing to grasp, The knowledge that you will not last, Some hidden illness inside you, Giving you that greenish hue, I wonder why in sadness, And put it all down to madness, People must die, for others to live, But for choos…
Shining white teeth, Victims quaking beneath, The time for war has come, Sound out that battle drum, Hackles are raised, No gods are praised, Invaders are on the ranch, Hoots call down the flange, Red-blue faces snarl, Clash, defend and twi…
On a snowy mountain-top bare, something lingered in a darkened lair. A face as white as the snow, and a deep double fur-coat treasured by King Crow. Her movements barely made a sound, as she padded across drifty ground. Everyday King Cro…

Out on the grey-gold sand, On the very edge of land, Down where the waves crash, There was a grey old donkey called Dash, Way back when in his youth, When he wasn't so long in tooth, He could run the whole beach and back, With a child and t…
I wish there was a way to create a list of favourite posts - it's tough that i can read an amazing Opuss one day, but lose it the next! An Opuss library required? A personal Top 50 favourites?
A monster born of wind and lies, Holding greedy sin in yellow eyes, With a virgin girl's head, Forever lost in unwed, Talons to bleed the dead, Flesh never left un-shred, Great grey wings of misery, And a mind full of trickery, Such a foul …
A winged beast is quite the sight to see. But beware, they come in such variety, with many a'winged society... Winning their love requires a certain expertise, so sit around and listen, and munch your crackers goat's cheese all a'smitten. …
I dreamt that time went astray, And gave me an extra day, What a curse of a gift, What a treasure to befit, How days pass un-wanted, Oh how I was daunted, Such plans came to fruit, As time stood so acute, I could climb a mountain, Make lov…

Perhaps I confuse you, Amuse, and bemuse you, You think, how can I act the way I do, Without wanting to be with you, Well, that's just not the way it works, Sometimes I'll laugh, play and send smirks, But thats just for kicks, ... and the o…
Once there was a sloth, That treasured a polka-dot cloth, Great red spots on cream, As if he found it in a dream, Magic polka-dots so bright, Filled that sloth with delight, Just a slow-poke sloth, And his red polka-dot cloth.
Where am I? And who are you? What is this world? Why can't we see? Don't angels hover atop mountains, and mermaids swim the seas? Do the dead lie sleeping in graves while the living lie awake in beds? Why does magic flow through our veins…
You should listen to the flea, It's only polite, you see, About all the places he's been, Oh, the wondrous things he's seen! Oh the bottoms that have been bitten! Mr Flea's never been so smitten! Only the crown's heir, Quite compares, He ad…

As I peel away the skin, To reveal hidden secrets within, You can't hide things from me, I will search until I see, Down to the bone I travel, Attempting to unravel, What goes where and why, So I can help and try, For patients to come, Just…
Don't talk to me just because you feel you have to, perhaps it's time to say we've had our fun, me and you. So, the ground isn't steady and we don't know where we stand. But when ever was stability so grand? I came looking for excitement …
Piles of papers, Miles of facts! Muscles, bones, drugs Fleas, mites and slugs, Nerves and thinking, Breathing and blinking, Cranial nerves, every nerve, Laryngeal muscles like, Arytenodious dorsalis, And teeth in a row, Tranquillisers and…
Even the smallest breeze, Through fresh spring leaves, Or laying back, On some old mac, Hearing birdsong, Slowly drifting along, White spotted skies, And fresh baked pies, Helping with milking down on the farm, Rushing into out-stretche…
Everything dies, Not always a soft sigh, Often unseen, It's sometimes mean, You may be taken, Or just not awaken.
I'm missing you, Like I shouldn't be, I haven't even made it to day three! Don't let my brain think, Don't let my heart sink, ...Or swell, I'm doing reasonably well, Learnt from my mistakes, Normally full of haste, I …
My head feels empty, And yet I am full, Full to the brim, Full of you. My nerves are gone, All flown away in the dawn, You whisper lightly, And hold me tightly, Tickle me there, Hands through my hair, Just to prove I'm alive, Just to pleas…
Mouth dry, Don't cry, I'm sure he's a nice guy.
I cut you out, I draw you in, I'm not sure, We're just not pure, What's this all about? I'm in a clockwise spin, So are you out? Or are you in?
Great, green leathery wings, Beat, sweep, sing, Deep, throaty, hunting roar, He's opening his maw, Smoke and lava descend, Flames caress the world, Beetles swarm, scurry, Fat, black, Roasted in a flash, Best eat…
"Art is the only justification for pain." - Danny
My deep roots of foundation, Ripple with anticipation, The ground is shaking, Perhaps in awakening? I tremble and thirst, And throw in a curse, Come on then, change, Unruly upon my range, Do your worst, Rule the world, Strike me down, Wh…
I'm stuck in this town, Walking around and around, Searching feverishly for green leaves, Or just a fresh breeze, ...Please? Up and down, Round and around, A maze of rock and ground, No bird song to be…

You can assume all you like, Doesn't mean you are right.
Hey, you, don't you dare, That's just not fair, Don't forget about me, I know you, you see, It'll all a trick, Just some old magic, There you are, you lurk, You think I can't see you smirk! Don't you dare, It's just not fair, I don't have …

Hold me down, Great roaring beast, Oh raging waters, I'm yours to feast.
Does it make me so very bad, To string you along, just to be glad? I know your weakness is me, Am I mean not to let you be? On I go, singing life's song, While you just tag along, It's a long shadowy road to run, Are you sure you don't p…
The tendons that slip around each other, striped and tough, beautifully intricate. How all the bones, blood vessels and nerves know their paths. How some structures only function is for the security of another. The body is a complicate…
I wonder as you stare, That perhaps you're as mad as a hare, What great Oceanic eyes, That sit and learn of my demise, Can you see my soul? Or is there just a hole? You stare so intently, Almost gently, Forgive my in…
Just dare me to. I just need a nudge. I'll come to you. And I'll bring fudge.
Rain, rain go away, all I want is to go out and play.
If you have never watched the stars at night, you have never truly noticed how small you are.
I think that you are a very balanced and focused individual, and because you are concentrating and working hard towards what you want to do, it leaves little room for you to go off track emotionally.
I feel like I've just flown on the back of a winged horse. A mile high, above rolling heather-coated hills.
You are irreplaceable and invaluable. I treasure you.
There are always dragons. I can feel them.
The unfurling of the dragons wings against a gust of wind.
