Stark Distillation

by Dave Dunn

 

A slight departure from my more usual styles......
 
Stark Distillation
 
Wilt thou distill my bleating heart
To extract the spirit of love within?
 
Bottled in glass will it smell of pine
As just now it must within my breast
 
Take it then and rid me of its odour
Soured by the heat of your betrayal
 
Leave me no trace to fester as I sle...

Betrayal

Could Have

by Dave Dunn

 

We could have been friends forever,
but for all those lies that she told,
we could have been lovers for longer,
but those revelations made me feel so cold.
 
Trust is one thing that once fractured,
will never again be truely repaired,

Bottled in glass will it smell of pine
As just now it must within my breast

Take it then and rid me of its odour
Soured by the heat of your betrayal

Leave me no trace to fester as I sleep, but

Wait For The Flag To Unfurl

by Dave Dunn

So you come to me and say 'I'm free'
And you claim all your words are true
Then you run from me, saying 'Set me Free'
Such confusion runs through you


Some years I spent in quiet retreat
Without such strife if incomplete
Dont play these games no more with me

Each time you've run and turned again
And its truly sad to see your pain
But when ind...
