Grief is costly and I was broke, 
Not you or him or any bloke,
Could have filled my pot of casting love,
He pulled my purse-strings from above.
That heavy weight of stress I threw,
I shrunk and stole myself from you.
That constant stream of words that played,
For them, a fortune I'd have paid!
I foraged deep for that sweet tune,
But woeful blues, they filled the room.
You wouldn't know t...

She squints and glares, fixed on you
Eagle eyed, she wanders through.
The cries and spiels and sobs you say

Around me, gold fingered bird-watchers with their fogged up binoculors,
tasting their uncessary glory.
Molten pride down th...

Some produce from sleep deprivation...

Eyelids fall and so do we
from this rope a wishful me,
No ground to touch, no cold hard floor

Cover sharp corners, prevent the thrash?

Those big icey eyeballs
Keeping you cool

I don't want the harness
