Market Day

Image
© 2025 Three devils took me to market riding In their car through the streets of Tinsel Town where the fallen ones are I wasn’t paying attention to where we were going to until with an awful knowing I heard the drum beat growing and with cold fear crawling up my spine we drew near to this nightmare castle of mine I flew out and up and watched myself leave the car and go inside I hovered on the roof while down below my Soul split and I cried And then yanked back in I had to choose down the spiral stairs where I could hear the blues or a ladder up somewhere without a care I could float away wherever I choose But instead I went straight on down the Yellow Brick Road in Tinsel Town paved with fairy dust and broken trust and a thousand promises owed songs of lost light drifting up to the night and tearful Angels in exile yeah its tinsel town where the stars don't shine in hearts as dark as mine and kissing clowns stab you with a smile yeah its Tinsel town paved with fairy dust and brok...

Calling Pluto

Image
Lyrics © 2017, song © 2025 Across Time and Space I feel your Power drawing me to you flames calling me to you falling into your Fire I am lost in your Heartbeat Come to me Pluto my Dark Lord of Power, take my hand and lead me through these mists into your Kingdom, into your Dark I am curious... how far down do you go? In a circle of candles I lie dreaming up at a starless Sky, from the Shadows you silently watch in the Night I am waiting, come get me I will love you if you let me I want you to take me your passion to break me your love to recreate me Keep me safe here with you I’ll reign as your Queen of Night and in your sunless, starless world I will burn so true and shine so strong, so bright I want you to own me, only you to know me a love of obsession a song of possession come to me Pluto and in your sunless, starless world I will burn so true and shine so strong, so bright Your Queen of Night.

Halfway Here

Image
© 2025 Trying to reconcile the Jekyll and Hyde in loved ones. And secondly, I often wonder how people can carry on like normal with so much cruelty in this world. Something must be switched off or broken inside. I guess that is what happens when you push the Kind too far it snaps and shatters across the timelines until you don’t know where or when you are That’s how they train the little soldiers when they send them off to war they twist and maim the Gentle until they cannot take it anymore They leave their minds behind to escape outside and their shadow self steps in who has been burned alive and killed to survive and seen the carnage shaped by sin There’s people out there living in despair that are only half way in this realm their minds are split and they’re trained to shift when fear threatens to overwhelm So when I look around and wonder where are all the folks that are supposed to care I should not be surprised that there are so few found 'cos many are gone just the lights l...

Seeking Grace

Image
© 2025 Where was I before I fell into this flesh sunk down into matter and drew my first breath what wishes was I dreaming before I came here to this place where I am now wandering the Darkness seeking Grace there is a sliver of memory of the Light where I am from the shiver of centuries through the night where I have gone I can almost feel again the Sun's warmth on my wings and the heavenly singing of Angels as I bent to crown a King and then I fell given a mission to help usher in the new Earth a vision I forgot so soon after my reluctant birth and deeper down into the darkness I went through the heartless demons that were sent to lead me further along the dark roads of this place away from the Sun's Light and lost now to Grace until at last at the bottom I met him King Hades himself who named me his wife in this Kingdom of Shadows sucked dry of all life I took flight in my mind where he could not follow whilst I remained chained underground and shrouded in silken sorrow and...

Stranger in the Mirror

Image
© 2025 There’s a Stranger in my mirror She sings me off to sleep when its 3am and dark outside but I can’t fall asleep It looks a lot like little me before I got lost in the memory of how sad things used to be I close my eyes so I can’t see Oh God if you’re hearing me I wish I could remember who I came here to be where once there was color there’s just faded black and when I look in the mirror the Stranger stares back I smile at her but her eyes are blank The world is caving in crushing my head I scream myself awake back in my bed Oh this Stranger in my mirror She won’t go away I wish I could understand what she is trying to say its like I have forgotten the tune of the songs that she sings guess I gave it all up when I lost my angel wings and little me got lost in the memory of how sad things used to be I close my eyes so I can’t see but the world is caving in crushing my head I look again in the mirror but the Stranger she is dead Copyright statement: Lyrics © 2025 Christine Jordaan....

The price of failure - as told by Moon

Image
Before Man came He was here peacefully grazing in My Light the Elders told tales of Him Ubhejane, the strong One, they named Him and so, in the flickering firelight His Legend was born His story drifting across the night sky joining those of the other Guardians – Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, and Leopard.   All was in balance.    All was well.   But as the cities grew, the forests fell darkness turned to dread I gazed down upon a brutal war when my Light was full instead   Powerless I watched the terror grow as greed crept under cover of the night the stars wept down as he was hacked alive the grasslands drenched in blood   While miles away in a shiny world where money matters more Fools count their gold and the souls they’ve killed as Death piles up on the floor   Fractured people mask the Empty with status they’ve bought but never earned to lull thirsting souls which wander lost disconnected from...

Timesheet

Image
© 2025 It’s Monday morning and I have to complete this sheet saying what I did with my time last week and I can’t help but feel bleak cos to be alive but not living your time is just a crime nothing more sad than a song that got lost and now wanders my mind an unhappy little ghost is there anything more tragic than a witch with lost magic? the hills and heather are calling my name I need to go lose myself there again high up in the misty peaks where the magic Moonlight speaks or down in the golden green where the silver birch dances unseen and the swans drift on the stream I wander there in my dreams oh this timesheet if it were paper I would make it a plane and fly it out the window and not talk to it again I guess I must just trust at the right time when my Stars are aligned I’ll be set free back to the Highlands the Soulful mountains the place I long to be.

Witch Flame

Image
© 2025 They thought we died out in the fires they lit to kill the witch flame and the Light we emit or drowned in the rivers that they threw us in hands and feet bound so we could not swim but you can’t burn fire with fire and the ice that held us is beginning to melt the Dragon waking underground guarding the Gates of the ancient Celts They thought they erased the Witch Flame magic blazing in our blood when giants walked and trees still talked before the reset in the great flood they built their castles of gold on innocence sold and the Goddess was bound and wept but her Spirit didn’t die She's freed from the lie and waking all those who slept You can’t burn fire with fire or stand against Dragon power The Old Ones are starting to rise against the False Throne in the skies They could not extinguish the Witch Flame or erase Her Sacred Names The King Stag still roams the wild wooded glens The Eagle calls yet in the minds of men The drums echo again and the fires burn Eden is calling...

Lesson in Lockdown

Image
2025 © Christine Jordaan Oh what miserable sprite led me onto your path a cheeky little gremlin hell bent on a laugh or was it an alien love bite from poisonous fangs that stabbed through my heart in some kind of cosmic prank? I was so lost yet again, faltering at the edge of the cliff where I had paused to wait out that fearful, thick mist for a second the storm cleared and I glimpsed the Sun's light as if Home finally beckoned me in from the Night What twisted desire was brewing in your head that leapt across time and space and jumped in my bed? Whispering sweet words that struck just the right chord when I was vulnerable, lonely, and quite frankly bored You asked what I hated in men and I said one that is weak I wish I had known then I was speaking to some kind of freak A conman peddling fake gold with a vanishing trick leaving me on my knees shattered trying to piece together a wreck If life is a mirror, what is tormented in me That I am constantly tossing on a storm-ridden sea...
