Little One

The sky is awash with a golden hue
The air filled with the first breath of spring
The trees are reaching heavy branches out
As the birds in their nests start to sing

A young woman picks flowers in the meadow
The warmth of the day at her back
Her basket is full with her pickings
As ducks in the pond start to quack

Her raven locks move gently in the breeze
Every gesture she makes full of grace
She lifts her face up to the glowing sky
And basks in the golden embrace

Her heart is full of joy and love
Her smile lit up from within
She places her hands on her burgeoning belly
New life, soon will it bring

Placing a blossom behind her ear
She lifts her voice in a song
A lullaby carries off through the air
While the child inside grows strong.

The Pain Inside

I am torn open,
Laid bare before my soul
Rent and reeling,
Pain devouring me whole

Agony coiled tight
Wound up inside my heart
I feel I can’t hold on
This pain is tearing me apart

Blood spills out upon cold stones
My wounds are open and raw
Pain is searing into me
Where once I held such awe

I’m stumbling through this darkness,
Desperate to find my way out
I’m clawing at these chains that bind me,
This all encompassing doubt

I’m drowning in these tears of hate
This scourge upon my soul
I’m lost inside my tortured mind
As I finally lose control...

Beauty in the Madness

Shattered glass raining down,
Like crystals in the light,
There’s beauty in the madness
And honour in the fight

What’s broken heals stronger,
The pain becomes an ache,
The nightmare turns to dreaming
And eventually you awake

Your heart, once broken, empty
Begins to fill with love,
Your soul, once lost and wandering
Shimmers with light from above

You were broken down, defeated
In a cage of your own design,
Until something snapped inside you
And you caught a glimpse of the divine

Though weak you came up swinging,
You fought what raged inside,
You cried sweet tears of victory
For it was the enemy inside that died.

In Darkness

Cloaked in shadows
A hidden physique
Lurking in darkness
You prey on the weak

Hungry for something
You cannot explain
Timing your strike
As you go for the vein......

It was Love

You rage against the demon
You fight the beast inside
You bend, you break, you crumble
As you cling to what’s left of your pride

You’re weakened from the nightmare
You’re ravaged from the pain
You sink into the comforting darkness
As the faceless lay the blame

You feel so broken, so empty
There’s blood smeared over your face
You long to leave the void behind
To feel a loving embrace

But the hand that reaches out to you
Is the one that gave the shove
That sent you down the spiral
And told you it was love

The Rage Within

Anger boils inside you
It rages deep within
You struggle to hold it down
But it seeps out of your skin

The blood, it flows freely
You wish to do the same
But deep within your heart
You're bound by anothers pain

You shout out words of anger,
Of bitterness and hate
You watch them hit the target
Then try to take them back too late

You're trapped inside this vengeance
You aim to shoot and kill
Watching them crumble slowly
You feel a perverse little thrill

Sitting there in the darkness
With the lights on all around
You beg, plead, hope and pray
It's not too late for you to be found.

Make Me Whole

Tear down my walls
Crawl into my soul
There’s a void within me
Please.... make me whole.
