  © 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...

  © 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...

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...

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'...

Lyrics © 2020 Song © 2026 And again I sought shelter in the Dark Realms that place within and far down where He said he would create a safe space deep underground I named it our Secret Garden where I could lie and watch the skies darken Oh I should have seen the danger of addiction to this mayhem the eyes of the stranger in the mirror made no prediction of the craving that would arise from just the short, sweet, taste of freedom teasing me awake in the early morning burning in my dreamtime warning where I wandered unhappily seeking my mind running rings around itself until at last exhausted I collapsed at his feet where I was rewarded with a fleeting kind of peace but nothing could tame the tempests raging through my psyche fighting to take me home to him outraged I battled them blindly furious at needing to lose myself in him utterly despairing at the dark pit of Chaos which every fibre of my being yearned to hurl myself into and be finally done with this shattering of self like a mi...

Lyrics © 2020 Song © 2026 I was calling You when I lay sleepless at Night my mind seeking One that was stronger to quiet the Chaos and bring the Light I was needing You even as I painted pretty pictures of peace this longing did not cease it grew deeper and darker twisting further inside I was feeding You my Soul seeking Yours out of time or space lightening striking the ground far below deep in the Underworld where shadows grow You said you saw the tears in my need and with those words the seeds of my undoing were sown seeing straight through the mask shown to the broken doll lost inside In a moment of cheek that left me breathless and weak I named you Satan and so you said you would burn me But could you not feel me blazing since you first lifted your hand to my cheek? Still, I stayed and so you played with the shadows in my mind breaking me down a little more each time until I existed only as your wish twisted Your heartbeat steady in my ear drawing me into you to a point far past ...

© 2026  It's 3am and I can't sleep a wistful tear is resting on my cheek and there's a burning space where you should be lying next to me it occurred to me perhaps I forgot to say I would save that place just in case you ever found your way to loving me So perhaps you didn't know cos I have never told you so there's a spot I kept aside just for you and through Grace my walls blown open wide as I had to learn to trust too I've been quietly watching you don't think I've ever met someone quite so true there's a straight up honesty in everything you do and although you have a brilliant mind you're strong enough to be kind you have a hidden gentle side to you Maybe you didn't know cos I have never told you so I have saved a place just in case you ever found your way to loving me So go if you must - explore your free but when it's home-time come back to me come back to me.
