He drank the pain
The scent of love
Dark stone
Sugared poison

Silver pools
On a rain shadowed morning

The queen’s tears ran through the city, spilling over the gutters, rising into the mist.

Unbound uncharted planets
In the secret places

Sun rising inside the earth

The Princess who found her voice 

I am walking in glass slippers
   Through pools of silver fire
   Across the sun rising inside the earth
   Dark trees tremble in this mirror world
   Rain soaked grass shadows the light breaking morning
   Silent, alone, I dream of laughter
   The clawed queen holds my voice
   Bound in a golden hair she ripped from my head
   I dare not speak in case the universe dissolves

   The crystal slippers glitter
   The queen's gift, the mark of possession
   Stumbling forward, a hidden stone shatters the glass
   Dark blood roses tangle across the sun
   Feeding the earth with flowers seeded from pain
   A cry, my first, breaks the silence
   I kneel in the rainwater, gathering the fragments
   Expecting sharp nails to tear my skin
   Poisoned air to close up my throat
 
   Instead, sweet lilacs fall from my mouth
   In the distance a scream and the snapping of talons

   I am singing and walking with blood soaked feet
   My words are stars carried on the morning

Dark sun
Black light
Shining in the spaces between.
Shadow magic
That binds the stars

London air

City Dragon
Burning through the streets
Breathing fire and toxic dust
Silent killer

Pluto's fortress

Here is poison
Sugared poison
  Morning star
Standing alone
Enticing with a smiling face
In a spite of passion

Seeping of the essence
Potent ecstasy
Each desktop shines
Raw gold slimes the floor
My dear ones smile
Before they slip and fall

Caught in the abyss
Pluto's fortress
Wings torn from angels
Shield their eyes

Possessed by dust
Blank faces turned against the city
Cold fire tears at their breath
Hidden in shadow light
Rulers of the world

Troubadour

Sky poet

Breathing star music

Chanted in ancient days

Listen….. Hear the singing silence
