Viola Grey Poems

Don't fear that truth you hide,
it escapes your weary clutches as you slumber.
Face tomorrow with certainty,
it holds secrets of longing yet discovered.
...

Built there to protect...not to repel...
but why on earth would I let you
behind this wall.
...

Lingered long upon this dream
where nothing is as it may seem,
word of colours silently scream
and truth belongs only to me.
...

Hands drip, cold,
fevered claws cling
to neverending visages
of tormented rest.
...

Why would you be
all I am
if not carved from
temptations shaking hands.
...

I don't need you
to make me happy,
but I want you here
to help me breathe,
...

You can smell it in the air
long before the pavement darkens
with each fat, slow drop.
Electricity sparks upon our flesh
...

Memories make a liar of me,
their shadowed existence
never saw the sun
of your smile,
...

You have breathed new life into my soul,
where you shall swim forevermore,
into oceans of deep green fire,
I am slave to your desires,
...

Do I really have to leave a light on for you,
are you not clever enough to find your way
after another long night.
And what do you mean you can't read my mind
...
