If I don't make you smile, then why am I here?
Do you no longer need to call my name?
I can't hold on to what has disappeared
Could you not kiss what I became?
Please
Smile for me as if it was your last
Call me as if I had said goodbye
Hold me as if I were made of glass
Kiss me as if I were about to die.

A list of charges

The defence responds

To a wall of faces

Accusers/jurors the same

Already certain

Of their sloping-shouldered verdict

But form must be followed

Creeds protected

The accused leaves the dock

With more reasons to forgive

Than sins to be forgiven for.

 
Can We Book This Studio by the Minute?

You know I've got ya

And Its gonna cost ya

It may be wrong

That I'm so young

I can't really sing

This voice ain't me

But we got this thing

Called 'technology'

I'm monotone

Till the mixing session

Around four chords

In anthemic progression

Don't write no lyrics

Don't write no tunes

They just need The Face

"Doesn't it bother you?"
Her incorporeal companion asked,
"To see your time usurped?
To see your name stolen
And used for the gain
Of worldly power?"

She looked beyond the stained glass,
The golden ornaments,
The gaudy vestments,
The empty chants,
And saw the eyes of an expectant
Smile at the face of a newborn.
"My time has always come.

Leading the Blind

This complex world
I brought you to
Taxing, tiring
Confusing, I know
I'll try hard to help

Poorly equipped
The lot of us
Slipping, tripping
No answers have I
But knowledge of falls

You are unsure
And here I am
Decades ahead
Answering questions
I'm asking myself

I've led the way
Taken the blows
Made the mistakes
So that my hard scars
Would teach you ( Read more... )

My LJ and I
Drift right on by
Sky
Red as a cynic
Grey as lost souls
Amber as the embers of Loki's net.

My LJ and me
Bob on a sea
Flags
Blue as broken life
Green as new love
Say hi and I'll try to reply to you.

Our Ljs and we
Passionately
Lie
White as a clown's face
Pink as a smile
Purple as a plea for someone to hear.

Silent night, fakery night,

Children's eyes

Watch the skies

Parents spend and families stress

Goods decide your happiness

Prove you love by spending

Prove your love through your purse.

Christmas time, marketing time,

Stockings weighed

Wealth deflates

Obligations to kith and kin

Don't spend more on her than him

While what we'd most like to see

Is a debt-free ( Read more... )

There was a young woman I know,
Whose bum hung incredibly low.
It came in quite neat
When finding a seat,
But it wasn't much fun in the snow
