Love Lies Bleeding

I plunged the knife into his heart
I plunged it right on in
The heart said No,
Its not your place
to bin this man of sin

The heart said So
And I said Oh
We tableaued for a while

His blood pumped out
But he gave no shout
Just twitched with half a smile

The dam broke in my head
A spring creaked on the bed
The mattress now was red
He opened one eye and said

I was only ten minutes late
How d'you get in such a state?

The Thin Line

if i didn't love you
and you didn't want me
then i wouldn't know
and you wouldn't see

if i didn't want you
and you ever loved me
then it wouldn't show
and we might be free

truth and beauty

A life of truth and beauty
Tattoo it on my wrists
Ink it in my veins
Prove that it exists

Oh no

Oh no he didn’t call
Oh woe I’m in the hall
Oh hell I ripped my dress
Oh balls the flat’s a mess

Oh bugger my head hurts
Oh Christ I’ve lost my purse
Oh cock its ten past one
Oh will I ever learn?

Sex and the City

I’ve been watching too much Sex and the City
Its not good for a girl’s psyche

An episode a day keeps the mean reds at bay
But back to back action brings panicked depression

The clothes and the cocktails
The men and Manolos

Is much much removed
From my dull life of shoes

“Of false idols beware”
said the chap in the air

Is Louboutin a God?
Can’t I worship the clog?

And as for the sex
Well it makes this girl vexed

Who has room for a swing?
And that vibrator thing?

Now I sound like a prude
And I quite like the rude

It’s a bit of a mare
For a poor confused bear

Now…Aidan or Big?
Knowing my luck…Stig

i write

I write

I write when I’m happy I write when I’m sad I write when I’m lonely I write when I’m mad I write when I’m crazy I write when I’m sane I write from the loss with all to the gain

I write for endeavour I write for release I write for a purpose I write for some peace I write for my future I write from my past I write in pure fury I talk out my ass

I write in the hope that things will change soon I write and I trust in the turn of the moon I write in exhaustion I write for my smile I write and I hope and I think all the while

I write for the shhhhhhhh and the loud and the proud I write for my eyes which are cloudy now now I write for the clack of the keys and the sense and the order of things which eludes me hence hence

I write from the heart I write from my head I write at my desk on the bus in my bed I write with no stops or commas or caps I write in frustration at all of you chaps

I write from the chaos I write for the soothe I write for some way of solving the prove I write for no one I write for you all I write from the depths I write to enthral

I write
