Bryony Sheldon Poems

Jaded, disconnected eyes,
Scanning for material pleasure.
Misfits, telling only lies,
Pretending it'll get better.
...

These membranous wings of fate
Fly me through this torrential downpour
I'm upshifting at half-past eight
I have nothing to slow down for.
...

Well it was getting pretty late,
Still had dirt across my face,
Took a visit to the line that shone like steel.
Now every other breath
...

Honey, I killed the kids,
Buried 'em in the back yard,
Don't you give me that look-
It's not like it was deliberate!
...

You're in your summer dress
Showin' them bare, fleshy legs,
I'm a teenager in heat-
And I smile...
...

I guess it's just a game
And I don't know when to stop
And I didn't mean to change-
I didn't know I could
...

The flesh
It crawls
It crawls
It crawls
...

Your love
Like blood
Dripping off my wrists
I'm lost
...

Vanilla Coke & Pick 'n' Mix
Show me one of those magic tricks
Then I'll take you right by the hips
And dance, & dance, & dance 'til the mourning comes!
...

My hair's too long
My skirt's too short
My thoughts are wrong
My rights aren't fought
...
