When someone loves the pieces of you that play in the shadows, they love the whole of you. © 2026  Instead of running from my Demons You called them by name, and from the castle dungeon they fluttered out through the thorny maze I sit empty in the centre of the chaos content without control curious now that the borders have been breached and no longer strong enough to go back on patrol I simply lie back and watch these strange, fierce beings crowd around You I don't have the heart to lock them up again Somehow they must now play their role in the game cos if You love them I guess You love me and its time for us all to just be free I’ve just been carrying on for too long and so much of me got left on the road but if You love them I guess You love me maybe its safe for me to put down this load Yes if you love them, You must love me You called them by name, wings tattered, but glittering with the joy of being seen rebel flames Heart battered and whispering of broken dreams I’ve just ...

My own Affairs

Image
© 2026   I made this up. Mostly. Allegedly. And my taste in fictional men is not up for discussion 😉 I was out and about minding my own affairs when I saw you watching me from the top of the stairs you smiled just once and I knew that I was lost as you walked towards me I thought to hell with the cost oh I should have carried on minding my own affairs or disappeared in the crowd when I saw you coming down the stairs but you were like the candle flame and I had to come burn my wings and as we danced you held me close and told me a lot of precious things it was full moon that night made us both a little crazy and shine a little bright and before I knew it we were swimming in the sea with the big white moon laughing happily oh I should have carried on minding my own affairs I don’t know what was in the whiskey but I tripped down the stairs and God only knows when I last laughed so hard when you fell right over the dog in the yard the next week I saw you on TV you had been up to no g...

This Doll's House

Image
  © 2026 Somewhere in the purple past before the shading Spell was cast and horror split my mind in half is an echo of sunlight on water and now this memory’s come to light to lead me back out of night and break down the door to the sanity I fought so hard for I’m kicking down this Doll’s House from the inside out breaking all the chains and I'm going walkabout Oh yes, the devil is real and I’ve looked him in the eye watched him break and steal and heard all his pretty little lies I don’t know who I was dancing with back then or how I went spinning off track or when I just know there was sunlight inside and it all turned black and died I’m not even sure how to tell how far or long ago I fell now I’m just an Angel lost wandering through this hell I’m kicking down this Doll’s House from the inside out breaking all the chains and I'm going walkabout oh how long I waited to put on flesh again just to feel the soft summer rain and I would die a thousand times over to hear again the ...

Even Lightning needs to Love

  © 2026   I guess your Angel spoke to mine and said that we were out of time ‘cos you’re still so far and not getting any nearer I fear I may yet still drown a bewildered Queen whose lost her crown and headed back to Tinsel Town where the sky’s a little clearer If you’re listening somewhere out there under this cold winter moon do you think you are coming anytime soon? I'm bored with waiting and staying still the Moon is calling and I'm praying you will somehow appear before I disappear back down far underground to the Kingdom of Shadows where King Hades is waiting with my new crystal crown I dreamt a dream within a dream where I lay fast asleep while tumbling down through space and time and in this dream your angel came and called me by another name someone I had been once before another life on another shore and if by magic there appeared a door to a realm I had not been before And although I turned away saying I could not stay I was still yearning to go at the e...

Avalon Calling

Image
  © 2026 There is a whisper on the wind that soothes me late at night when Despair holds my heart in its iron grip and I’ve drifted from the Light It sings to me of Avalon and green-golden summer days of cheery finches and apple trees and ripening of the hay Of mossy rocks and silver streams and swans floating on a Lake of Dreams and with this vision of peaceful bliss and loving calm and happiness is a song so pure of chords so true that twice I turn my head and search to see if the God is wandering with me in the forest too Each time I visit this Sacred Land of Silver birch and Beeches grand I leave a little more of my heart there entranced in dappled forest glades and when I awaken in this time and place a part of me remains dancing, with the twilight shades And though I sit here far away and there’s heartbreak stealing the sun from day for just a while my Heart stops its tears and lays to rest its doubts and fears and following the echo of a love before my dreamtime steps lead m...

Crossroads

Image
Lyr ics  © 2020.  So ng © 2026 He spoke to the Broken in me languishing hopelessly at the bottom of a very deep, dark place for a very long time this shadow self of mine He awakened her an Underworld God fashioning a Doll for his Kingdom to serve his Vision She grew bolder this Shadow self of mine wanting more in space and time Her need thrilling through my veins longing to run into his flames and lose us in this secret Garden The Sunlight paled next to his blaze she stumbled through to reach Him the colors outside seemed so dull compared to the glowing crystals in Hell where He ruled ruthlessly His Doll grew stronger feasting on the freedom He fed her even as He bound her tight with His will whilst I faded listlessly going through the days until my awareness shifted inwards entranced by the Visions she shared with me, our Melodies blending together into a haunting Harmony that drifted wistfully through the Realms and as it faded away sinking into the Shadows I surrender...

A Perfect Storm

Image
Lyrics © 2022. Song © 2026 Ireland, 1998   💔  #PathsNotTaken  It's a perfect storm, my Love one that might break me my shadow inside the damsel denied somehow betrayed me and now hunger consumes me for a peace that eludes me and when I look in the mirror at night it's your eyes that I see I just want to cry and turn out the light but you’re still looking at me a perfect storm, my Love one that might claim me I’m on the sea clouds pouring on me these waves can just take me I was stuck in a ruin looking down at you not having seen you before you were speaking to the guy that I was with at the time and you both looked up at me when I called it's a perfect storm, my Love maybe one that could make me if I could find all the pieces I thought lost forever maybe I could glue myself somehow back together later that day we walked and we talked alongside a pretty golden river and I knew I had found a Heart that wanted to be mine if I let you, you would love me forever it'...
