Flesh of Heart

heart of fire
warrior sister
plateau passion

why'd you do that?
scupper me or scupper you
broken home but no broken bones
cast adrift and alone
no matter
who i am with
being alone but
hearing angels cry out
for her sweet eyes
classic turns of fate
a pebble in my mouth
of drought

she said
i want to die
surrounded by my children
she said
i want a partner
to protect and provide
for our child and I
its almost too much
to bear
this weight of love
leave it all behind
shall we?
elope into the water
cut the anchor roper
start with nothing
like children
learning to walk
i still and always will love her
but i am never
really there

a usual story

she sang
you always want more
she sang
i don't believe in heaven
i'm taller than god
homeless restless and eternal
so
the victory sign to the troops
two fingers up to the suits

this is only the beginning of the change
shedding my cage
losing the rage

adyu merushi

sorely tested
you've been hurt
so you hurt others
do'nt have an affair
wide awake at three
staring at the ceiling
the mistake
again
hold on
it will happen for you
the peace which you long for
the strength
the honesty
the laughter

have we learnt the lesson yet?
its the way you move me
and the way i'd like
to make you feel

cheetah
deciever
dream stealer
darkness after dawn
fragile hands
dance for me
i cough up anger
cry
you sing for the moon
i sing for the sun
she does not understand this side of me
a view of everything
the left hand path

dead three times
on the operating table
left with a white sheet
over your smashed body
it is only when your mother
comes to sob over you
there is a twitch, a spark
you come back...."Hello"

a cord mended, bound, burnt
this is for you sister
please stay alive
for the struggle
for the power you wield
for the love you make
for the art you make
