No Solution
Inside my soul is only darkness
I searched for light inside the flame
Revelation choked and died
On dreams of faith and suicide
And I have found there's no solution here
The twisted monkey seeks forgiveness
His empathy has torn apart
Everything fades and the wheel of pain
Winds it up a notch again
And I have found there's no solution here
Desolation knows no mercy
The futile clock runs out of time
Blood runs out to clot and spread
Hope is lost and God is dead
And I have found there's no solution here
I put a daisy on a chain
Another link is made
This is my pain
Here is yours
Weep for me
I wipe the blade carefully
It shines so bright
Bringing light into
Your world
Weep for me
And the clanging of the chain
And the ticking of the clock
Fit this dark place
I covered the windows
Just for you
I lit the candle
The shadows dance
To the sound
Of tears
Weep for me
You smell like metal
You tore the stitches
Just for screams
That no-one hears
Weep for me
And the clanging of the chain
And the ticking of the clock
Fit this dark place
I covered the windows
Just for you
It was still early but it was hot
The last day in July
The sky was a deep warm blue
Not a cloud in sight
The still air seemed to shimmer
with the heat
Everything was green and growing
I could smell the rich earth
Flowers bloomed everywhere
Bright beautiful colours
And their scent filled the air
Birds sang joyful songs loudly
And butterflies danced to their song
And it was wrong
I could hear lawnmowers buzzing
A door slammed
Parents shouted idly
The sharp happy laughter of children
and it was wrong
It was a lazy day
For lying in the shade
For idle chat
Sandwiches and barbeques
Cold drinks
There should have been rain
Th
I don't wish you well
I wish you pain
I don't wish you love
I wish you hate
I don't even wish for you to learn
I wish you all that you put in the world
Your lightest day is my darkest night
Your cruelty is beyond me
Your egos burn so very bright
Your souls are dead, nothing to see
You clamour just to be adored
So perfect, oh so perfectly whored
You leave a trail of hurt and pain
It feels so good you just do it again
I don't wish you well
I wish you pain
I don't wish you love
I wish you hate
I don't even wish for you to learn
I wish you all that you put in the world
Words on a screen
They seem odd somehow
Thoughts pinned to a page
Like butterflies pinned to a board
Wriggling desperately to fly away
But if we set them free
Then they are gone and lost
Or maybe not
Maybe they swarm somewhere
And breed
And then fly back
POP
I just had an idea.
Dont know where it came from
Maybe it escaped from someone else
Earlier in the day
I stand on rough stone
All around me the water sings
It freezes my feet
Drawing the heat away
With playful splashes
Behind me its song becomes more urgent
And then it falls .
Its happy song becomes the deepest scream
A bellow of released pain and rage
That echoes inside my head
And fills the world
Its tears rise in rainbow clouds
Far below me
And it rains its fury down gently
In billowing waves
Into the dark places
Where the sun never touches it
I feel it within me
Burning deep
Inside
My footsteps echo in empty rooms
And I listen hard for the careless laugh
I hear them
All the time
Tiny voices whispering
I walk slowly through the empty halls
Imagining
The nobodies rush around me carelessly
They don't see me watching them
They are not here yet
It resonates deeply
Pulsing
I can feel it
In the street, in the supermarket
I am not afraid
It excites me
But I hide
Come to me
See, how I smile
Take this
I can feel the power
Of the weeping
I mock it because
I understand it
He sits in the fire, haloed and cold
Counting the steps he takes
There is no rhythm in his heartbeat
Screaming silence slithers
Crushing flame with velvet coils
Darkness twists within darkness
On the edge of sight
Hee picks up the pieces of the shattered glass
The mirror is covered
The white cloth stained
The stones read pious words
Grouted with bloody flecks
He watches shapes without shape in the blurred window
There is only ice
In the dancing dust
I went to his room and
I covered him in earth
Covered him in shadows
Buried him alive
I listened to his screams and
I muffled them with pillows
Muffled him with darkness
Wrapped his body tight
I listened as I walked and
I heard the plastic crackle
Heard the shovel digging
Dropped him out of sight
I go into his room and
I whisper in the moonlight
Whisper to the candle
Then blow out the light
No Solution

Then blow out the light
She stands at the centre
As the world collapses around her
The devastation shakes her
But she stands serene and silent
Riding the waves of echoes that plague her
She lives in the darkspace and eats light
Vomiting blackness she defies no-one
Where are the things that you run from?
They run from you now
