Miss Fairytale

Once I saw a solar eclipse.
Like dusk at midday
the sun darkened
to New Moon black
...

Do you ever stare
into the eyes of a beautiful soul
and wonder how many memories they hold?
How many thoughts they've had of you
...

This room
Heavily feminine
Antique white
Bare
...

Laced with eloquence;
she glides along the dusty riverbed,
One blood rose in her hair and the funeral flower in her hand.
Ebony trails lash at the flaky ground
...

I wonder why this angel
is able to fly.
Light and pure
he may be
...

Pale berries fade to bright
Leaves green whisper autumn
Creasing brown and crisping – falling,
July parts with Summer sudden as fright.
...

Woman stops at a window
below a blood-orange sky,
Watches drinkers sip from china
cups, tuck crumbs into napkins,
...

A blood-slice high in
black grows fat as an orange
to a full blood moon.
...

I would like a dress made of your skin
A speckled garment to wrap myself in
Threaded together with strands of your hair
And preciously beaded with tears.
...

You are rocks - solid and slow
Beneath the serenity
I am a leaf caught in flow
An under nourished casulty
...

A lost man walked along with me
The road I had misplaced,
He taught me proper walking
With strong boats
...

Gifts from our Mother;
Womb, seed and blood
The eternal jewels of creation
And the plentiful cup of knowing.
...

Earth –
My home
My body
My knowledge
...

Spoken words rest stagnant in rigid mouths
Burnt flesh flakes softly from barely-grown bones
Fields of lovers scatter landscapes,
Pure hearts arrow-punctured.
...

Married to the world
Anger echoes circular
Without end
Like a ring.
...

Anti-human voices boomed in the tunnel
in the street, under steel
Carnage dropped from the air into silence,
and all became still at England's heart.
...

Summer bloomed in the heavens
A plump orange in the blue swamp
Flame to waxy moon-faces.
...

I sit down and remind myself of you.

The roses on the heater smell delicious
But their colour is not as obvious,
...

'Goodnight sweet Day', I have to say
As you pass me by without delay
And the stars in your hair wink at cold night
You push me on to dreamless delight.
...

Her ovaries lay in her basket of memories
Upon ripped tissue and numb transparency
Like eggs dropped from the bird of sorrow,
Soft, white and hollow - the image of her body
...
