Ash in my eyes
Daze in my ways
Ash in my eyes
Oceans in yours
Grace all your days
Oceans in yours
Wary of those
With ash in their eyes
Wary of those
Who are wary of thee
Beware of nothing
There is no alarm
There is no smoke
For this town has already burnt
For my green-hazel eyes
Never again will see
Like they saw
For years unspent
Ash in my eyes
Ocean come home
To tell me please
I'm yours
If all I wanted was
Your body pressed against me
Would I feel lees naughty?
Would I feel less sick?
If all I wanted
Was a hand in marriage
Would I feel wiser?
Would I be more righteous?
All I ever wanted was You
All I ever needed was Us
But something had to come first
Dying; whispering in hospital sheets
A lesson was learned
How much pain
This Heart could hold
The only thing I've ever been told
You know now
How much you could need
That body never breaking down
The only thing I've ever been told
Shame on me
Because I want this Break
Becoming a Ghost
To hold a Spirit
Could this path
O, winding it may be,
Lead it's curves
Down to thee?
Heaven Down Low
Hark!
Watching those tapes,
Left in the recorder.
Do you shudder?
With each cold gaze
we seem to share
In every such mirror?
So would that make us Reflections?
Surely, for these are no mere
Projections.
Did they hurt you so?
Did they leave your chest raw?
Even with all
Protections?
How long
My Love
Is too long to wait?
Waiting is all We seem to do.
But I am here
And just barely a breath I've taken
Before you waved towards me
So Reflections we be
Seafoam Sovereignty
King in Green
Queen in Blue
Moves throughout you
But always remains
When will your rule begin?
Your decrees so silent,
Lingering in them,
Always so small; wounded little heart.
Self sacrifice or self care?
Still plenty of Land, out there.
Royalty of Setting Suns
King in Green
Lie to All you meet
Queen in Blue
Moves throughout you
But always remains
Wolf blowing his House down,
Gnawing at the bones;
All he's ever known.
Because he refused to be shown.
A tiger burning oh so bright,
Filling up her stomach tonight.
Gives all that she has to give
Because always she has known.
Pink Princess in Waiting
King in Green
Queen in Blue
Living through All
Moves throughout you
But always remains
Learn to play pretend
Among the people you have scorned
For all that little heart has to do
Is love thouself first
Pick up your crown
And good things may come
Let your peoples lead
Let that heart bleed
King in Green
Queen in Blue
Moves throughout you
But always remains
Let me inside
Where love still hides
Sleeping in your innocence
Wept for such ignorance
We give ourselves away
Every single fucking day
Us Sovereigns of the Sea
A flower freezing in the pines
On the wind when it blows
On your tongue if you knew
In time, if time really is luck
Music chimes not from these hills
Only sounds for the trees
For the jagged peaks and valleys below
Are empty without you in them
My spine is bent and bending
Laying the fruits of labour
For those too hungry to see
And those who are too blind to hear
The only profession known here
Is chest puffing and ego drowning
Hiding a soul from the world and himself
Taking comfort in dreams of things I fear
An empty field
With no guide post
Pretending to be King
Of the animals who offer everything
Countless time lost to myself
Lost to electric currents and high scores
Lost to
My poisons of every week
For I am weak
As high as I reach
But my hand falls not
Only the dark over the flower left to freeze
