Snowball

A flick of the wrist, the snow ball shakes
The cloud settles around;  little plastic flakes
At times you die, and wonder why
The shaker decides to keep you alive
Why not let the pain push you under
You are but a speck of matter
But no, he decides when it is time
To shake the snowball again
“O fleck you’ve seen the pain
Until you were numb and could not feel again
I’ll show you pleasure
That you didn’t see before
You will live again; to feel some more
I’ll heal your wounds, I let you hope
I’ll give you love that lets you cope”
The block is gone, blood starts to flow
The agony fades; your face starts to glow
A reason to live; to smile again
To wake up; breathe, to love and to wait
Until...the shaker is bored, and then;
“I think it’s time; to change your fate
The shaker decides, “I’ll flick my wrist
Your story little speck

Now has a new twist!”

Masks

Masks for me
Masks for mine
Layers of masks
Masquerade pantomime
Peeling chipping fading
Add some glitter glue and shading
Wear a smile, and hide those tears
Share your joy, and conceal those fears
Trauma, guilt shame and addiction
Anxiety obsession
Paranoia depression
You will find all shapes and sizes
Colours, cultures, to conceal your vices
Kabuki, Thalia, Melpomene and No
Chhau, Mahkala, Pascola and Xantolo
Pick one for you and one for me: One for grief and one for glee :)




One for grief and one for glee

Do you know?

A barren womb; an arid breast
Would scarce know the agony
Of a robbed womb : a bleeding breast
A heavy heart, a mask of mahogany
I may wheel my cart of anguish,
At least a cart I have to wheel
A heart of stone, shame from the past
What do you have to reveal?
Cos' its better to have loved and lost
Than never love at all
I may carry my anguish with me
While all you carry is gall

_ Response to a person who accused me of being sad...and therefore pulling her down :)

Blame

Do I blame the moment
When my head ruled over my heart
Do I blame the moment
When destiny played it's part
When nothing stopped conception
Growth, pain and rejection
When the path to Hell was paved
With all my good intention

Phoenix

I miss you O my lover
You are a phoenix from my past
It's grief that brought us together
And grief that pulled us apart
O the Mighty, the Faithful and the Proud
are helpless in the matters of heart
