Doubt


Sometimes I fear that I'm so dull,
I even bore myself,
The doubt that seeps into my mind's
A danger to my health.
The face I see each morning
Is a stranger to my eye,
But I won't let it worry me
I know that mirrors lie!

The Isolated Man


I am the Isolated Man,
Smothered by the empty air that fills my mouth,
Burning me as I move by.

I am the Isolated Man,
Ignored in public places;
Unseen again by the shining eyed hyena people.

Was I ever one of them?

My suit of sorrows wears me down,
The price to join them,
Too high.
Too high.

I am the Isolated Man,
Wheeling through the empty spaces.
There's still time to see me,
If you look,
If you dare.

Colour me Tuesday

Well colour me Tuesday,
My braces are lost,
All the laces and bows
Are undone.
A sesame sunset
Is smouldering down,
And the
Race of the humans
Is won.
So fetch me a Friday,
With high heels and cream,
And a skateboard
With elephant eyes.
I'm wearing a top
Made of tambourine screams
And I've no doubt
At all
I can fly.

Twiddle Fingers by The Green Flare



TWIDDLE FINGERS.

Lay enchantments over me,
Twiddle Fingers make the spell.
Magic me a fire,
warmth, colour, all things well.

I'm open to suggestion
in the warmth of fires light.
Let Twiddle Fingers touch me
and see the smile bright.

I have a charm, a unicorn.
He brings hope to all forlorn.
Gifts joy and luck and all things true.
His horn is pointing straight at you.

Let Twiddle Fingers circle me,
vibrating deep within.
Let Twiddle Tingles play on me
like harp or violin.

I'm open to suggestion
in the glow of your warm light.
Oh Twiddle Fingers, reach for me.
And fly me into night.

Believe

Believe in the
Red, the red of blood,
Believe in the
Heart, the heart of love.
Believe in the
Lunacy of tingling bones,
Believe in the
Truth, that you are not alone.

Wolves

Beware,
We've let the wolves back in,
They'll
Breed, and grow and roam,
They're back
Among the sheep and dreams,
The place
That is their home.
Beware,
We've let the wolves back in,
The ones 
With teeth and claws,
Don't try 
To blame the other fools,
The fault
My love, is ours.

The Universe Game


Why can't we play,
The Universe game,
The one where we make the rules?
Why can't we make
The heavens stop
When the fates have hit us cruel.
Why can't we play
The Universe game,
The one where we never loose?
When things are not the way we want,
Why can't we be the ones to choose?

Indigo

Indigo sunflowers
Only bloom
In the light of a
Blood moon.
Their seeds
Are worth 
A million day dreams.

Angels

She saw them.

Shining
Like stars.
Like angels.

Bringing light,
Bringing hope.

She shone,
Like the sun.
Reflecting 
Their light,
Little realising
They came to
Speak to 
The angel
Inside.

They saw her.

Cheese

D'you know,
The mouse thought finally,
I've had enough of cheese,
I'm going to change my diet
And I'll eat just what I please.

And scampering
Quite dangerously
Across the kitchen floor,
He dived head first
Into the bin
That stood beside the door.

Oh joy! Oh bliss!
What tastes he found
Such food should serve a king.
Not langulish rotting,
Just a bit,
In some black plastic bin.

He had to tell,
He had to share this bounty
With them all,
And soon the mice from all around
Came to his eager call.

But such nirvana could not last,
The humans saw to that,
And the last thing happy mouse saw,
Was the jaws of a smiling cat.

Song

I'm going to sing and play a song,
At our Festival of Music.
I have my courage
Screwed down tight,
I hope that I don't loose it!!

Avalanche

There's an avalanche of words,
They're building;
Backing up inside my head.

Inside this
Hormone soup of flesh,
This body, brain,
Half mental fed.

Neurotic neurons
Semi sluggish
Turning all my dreams 
To rubbish.

Confidence is
Serotonin,
Can't you hear my
Heart beat moaning?
And what was it
That organ said?

Who cares.

It argues
With my sanity
And leaves
My thoughts
Half dead.

The Tower by The Green Flare

THE TOWER

Won't you turn your will upon me.
A brighter light to guide my way.
To draw me ever nearer.
In your realm is where I'd stay.

Deep Red Queen, release your tongue!
Be determined with your power.
Whisper the verse, a spell invoked
and free me from the tower.

Stone walls that blind and narrow mind,
blunting things before they start.
Deep Red Queen will you break through.
Set your seal upon my heart.

Good subject I, if I'm set free.
You could not wish a better.
Good servant I, set by your knee
Obeying to the letter.

Deep Red Queen be good to me.
Use your free mind well.
Release me from the Towers clutch
and make a haven within hell.
