Scattered

As the clock strikes midnight

My eyes pain with tears

You’re music is all I have now

It eases my fears

Don’t let the dragon

Take control

Don’t let him in

He will consume

Every inch of me

Blue is my heart

Painted with loss

I must travel

These bridges

Where destiny

Wears a cross

Frightened by the nothing

The lifeless night

Blanket covered canvass

Take away

The darkened light

Music saves the hours

Darkness slowly drifts

Mood changes

No longer living in cages

Scattered amongst lost pages

Cailin

Red are my knees

Cycling I thought

Was a breeze

No air on my back

Sun piercing my eyesight

Black crows delight

Hungry for my flesh

Waiting for my fall

He will surely eat me

I must not stall

Red juice falls

Off my bottom lip

I slowly wipe

It away

With my finger tip

Enough he shouts

Blows out a whistle

Peeking from the edges

Wild tin whistles

Where is the water

Where is the rain

To end this suffering

This enduring pain

Leaves that shimmer

Slug eaten edges

My transport not far way

I could run through

The hedges

Hide surely I won’t

Be seen

I am a clever

Irish Cailin

Snap he switches on

Eyes and feet latched forward

I chase the breeze

Waving goodbye

His face priceless

Goodbye strawberry fields

I won’t taste your fortune

Harvest you

Neither will I slave away

In sun scorched heat

Burning my soul away

White Sapphire

White Sapphire

Riding along the

Church gates

Audience waits

Blackened crusted iron

Dividing both you and him

Enter in my child

Into an eternal fling

Veil held tightly

Just in case you run

Runaway bride

Where will she hide

Heart throbbing

Out of control

Doors open up

Silencing the noise

He is in perfect poise

Quietly walking

Her fathers spirit

On her arm

Air softly brushes her

Her lucky charm

White bowed flowers

Tinted green stems

The triplets gathered together

Cackling like hens

White sapphire daughter

Spirit in tow

Allow happiness

Let yourself go
