There’s a distant light shining over you tonight You’ve been transformed, you’ll always be my storm In the tuscan dusk you’re swooning under moons of musk You touch the texture of the tiles and miles away A visitor waits for you to show You’ve got to go In the plum sun dunes rippling to a […]
Lying face down in the dust Your body crippled with mistrust I wonder if you’ll ever rise Too much of nothing wears you out There’s a lot of that about I see it lingering in your eyes If you change the arrow’s course Or feel the punch with all its force Remember passion never dies […]
Sometimes you’re dressed in castillian vogue Other times you speak with a faux (false ?) scottish brogue Ruthless, relentless, pursuing your defenseless quarry Now you say you’ve been following me through my lives and deaths From the very first tears to the last failing breaths You clean up the mess, you say "i must confess" […]
You wake up in the suffocating out-of-it (arabic ?) darkness Dragging the river of your very soul You emerge from troubled dreams With your head held very gently Think like clotted blood in a golden bone Who’s promised you that ? who’s paying for it ? what’s waiting out there ?

Ghost in flesh, i can see but you can’t see As we begin our descent into vanity She’s an x-ray of a woman And she walks right out of the film Dematerializes slowly Scatters into the air Unsubstantiated Unsubstantiated In the end, i can see but you can’t see The train is gone, we’re alone […]
Come down, another day Morning streaked on a perspex screen The screaming beaked blackbirds peck The wrecked eyes of last week’s lies The sandman gets shallow sleep He tries to weep for the grown-up things One last peep for policemen A’resting in the woodland side so steep Oh and i hope i’m not going too […]
Tiny drops of water glistened on her black fur Taillights in earshot, headlights shine through her And on legs crossed on the red surge settee Sat next to nothing and she looked right through me, and on Inside the car sat a sulky blonde And on her lap the road went on and on As […]
