Hayley Lewis

Rigid denials carved reflections in the floor
In beer drenched coats and thrown away inhabitations
Tussled hair and sweat soaked shirts
Throwing caution to the wind
...

I wanted to write some poetry
An appraisal if you like
A flow of words and sentiment
That appear faster than I type
...

I forgot, these promises I made
To my false deity
The God of all things saved
I prayed, to the empty space
...

My soul crushed,
Above and below irreputable dementure.
Solicited lies hounding at the door,
Tearing down the scafolding,
...

Summer come, and summer go,
Winter breath your frosty ire.
Whisper leafy melodies
Across the old log fire.
...

Wherever tears have fallen,
Broken flowers bloom.
To salute whatever sun
Has the patience to resume.
...

Hush little bells; your euphoria is my insanity
Constant and deafening; you bleed me of thought
Shall I pluck the rose from my garden, and flatten it for my collection?
Answer me now!
...

...If the sky were a deep dark purple,
And lakes were fussia pink,
The daffodils a seedy red
And the grass in rainbow ink...
...

Sometimes I find myself to sympathize
With the black cold winter night,
And I, of chilly disposition find
Unlikely comfort in it's plight
...

Till the morn my dear, I fear.
Your paddles laid and your boat is here.
The wind is rife, and the sail is white,
To journey yonder and out my life.
...

Whenever doves come to me
Fallen and broken
In the breeze,
I take them to my love,
...

It hits my chest and my stomach first,
The rush jumps through my body in one quick burst
My fear is my life line
I clutch to my heart the imminent threat
...

Sitting in the village, in the center of the square,
With a basket by her ankles and braids in her hair,
Her eyes though soft and patient,
Scan all around the streets,
...

Lets fast track my emotions
From searing pain to bitter hatred
I will turn your eyes from beacons of love and trust
To the fiery eyes of Satan himself
...

I played a game with myself and I'm tangled,
I'm twisted and hanging in threads
I'm afraid and cant move, and I'm helpless
Dangling awefully close to the edge.
...

For many years a smoker
Many more quite fond of booze,
I've dabbled in the small pills,
And I fell in love with food.
...

Hello virtual world.
I take it you saw me falling off my chair last night
Wine in one hand
Mouse in the other
...

My dear, sweet, vulgar one
You are as rank as Thames water
On a summers day
Your face enough
...

I do not care for your opinion
Your crude delude
Denial hence
Withering martyr
...

Blood red
Fire
Twirling vengence
Imposing desire
...
