Bella Magik

Her golden hair meets the sun, she's searching to be free
her memories, like the turning tide, have been washed away to sea

she rides the distant horses to what she's searching for
...

Across the water blue, glide the contrast of an oil
Spilt regardless of the beauty free to us we spoil
Un-contained, what will not blend, divides and all that’s left
Is the suffocating stain of loss that smears a beating chest?
...

Finding ground to fight beneath my fingertips
one hit to greet the canvass, met with my open lips
unhesitant surrender and I only lose
crawl to walk the steps in elevated shoes
...

You are leaving tomorrow and although you’ll be back soon.
I’ll miss you long before he picks you up at noon.
Just when I think that I couldn’t love you anymore.
I know I’ll love you double when you walk back through the door.
...

It's not so much that we need only love ourselves,
for most of us, for most our lives, seek love from someone else
It's not so much that we need only make it on our own,
for most of us, for most our lives, don't want to be alone
...

If words were bullets and mouths were a gun, how many people have you shot for fun?
How many times have you aimed from a fence? How many times have you claimed self-defence?
How many souls have you lined up to take, random shots at so they'll bleed and they'll break?
I wonder when you're shooting somebody else, if it's so you don't feel like shooting yourself?
...

I woke up crying knowing,
open eyes would not present me
The vision I crave as I long each night to be
Pinned down by the weight of you Iris blue collide
...

If you're not in a hurry, please sit and talk with me awhile
it would be nice to have someone to share a simple smile
for so long I've been counting shadows just to pass the time
as days become the thief who steals away this life of mine
...

Cower in fear as the caged tigers roar
bearing it's teeth as it's not done before
pacing so constant, scratching the floor
impatiently knowing, it can't take much more
...

Jack said that from a distance, the mountains looked like they were red
and the glow from the fire danced for all
off on the far horizon there was unrelenting havoc
as the men who risked their lives watched another gumtree fall
...

Cover up the truth with something pretty
Disguise it in the lies that want to see
Hide it form their sight, so the perception
stays as far from the truth as it could be
...

Why deny these mountains made of molehills
Burn the bridge before you've gone across
Chase the rolling stone of your decisions
To see if it has gathered greener moss
...

Rainy days, oh rainy days.... make me sing the blues.
Rainy days, my feet are wet, the rain soaked though my shoes.
Rainy days, oh rainy days, they remind me of...
The rainy day you stood there, accusing me my love
...

One day I will turn around and everything will shine
a brand new day will dawn upon all I have left behind
Good riddance to the darker days that saw me running wild
to wear an adults skin when I was clearly still a child
...

My little brother I'm left crying out “where is it you have gone? ”
They said that you had died, but surely they are wrong?
They said that you'd been taken and eternal you shall lay
but you can't die yet, there's so much you and I have left to say.
...

Pages holding words of me I trust you to believe
Seize the spirit of the love and legacy I leave
When the dust has settled, when all is said and done
I'll be forever with you as our hearts all beat as one
...

Seated at a table, but the wrong restaurant
I wonder who really ever gets what they want
Life is full of changes, and we learn as we grow
But, all I see are strangers, there is no-one I know....
...

At times I've wondered if I've always had a strangers face
and times I've wondered if I'm standing in a strangers place
to see me as I never was, in time, becomes a waste
of moments lost to all, the years that time cannot replace
...

We have been together through famine, feast and fire
dwelled in darkened alleys and built the towers higher
we have known each other, sharing fortune, sharing fame
we have treated wounds inflicted and eased each others pain
...

How are we meant to comprehend?
The tragic loss of life
When we are told of hundreds of murdered
By a martyrs sacrifice
...
