Singers’ Heath

Why do you wander the earth alone?

What sin is it you seek to atone?

Your soul is contorted and ever afflicted,

Of what crime is it that you’ve been self-convicted?

Why the deepening pain in your eyes?

What sadness is it you seek to hide?

Your heart is thwarted and ever twisted,

By what word is it that you’ve been blacklisted?

Why the shackles upon your smile?

What sorrow is it you seek to beguile?

Your mind is bleak and woebegone,

From whence the dejection that you’ve undergone?

Wander alone no more my friend,

This atonement with peace your soul will mend.

Your crime is one that broke no laws,

Your self-affliction has no real cause.

Let me take the pain that your iris hides,

To allow comfort return in leaps and strides.

Let’s liberate your heart once more,

And welcome home joy through love’s front door.

Let’s renew the light that should spring from your face,

Instead of sorrow you’ll now feel ace.

Your mind will be free and happy and bright,

Take my hand, and return to the light.

Oh, child of mine!

Oh, child of mine!

I do not wash clean clothes

And I don’t care what you say,

Pick the damned things off the floor

And put them all away!

Gravy and peas are not breakfast

And I don’t care what you say,

Eat that flaming toast right now,

Or you won’t go out to play!

Your finger is not a toothbrush

And I don’t care what you say,

Now brush your bloody teeth,

And scrub that plaque away!

You fecking do eat chicken

And I don’t care what you say,

Stop pushing it around the plate,

You’re eating it today!

The sink is not a toy

And I don’t care what you say,

Stop pouring shampoo down the drain,

You’ll block it up one day!

Bedtime was always eight

And I don’t care what you say,

Get your bloody PJ’s on,

It’s time to hit the hay!

The landing isn’t bed

And I don’t care what you say,

Calling me while standing there,

Is making me go grey!

Nightmares aren’t always bad

And I don’t care what you say,

You still run in for the safest snug,

Long may you stay that way!

Blue Moon

Blue Moon

The Blue Moon in silence swiftly weeps past

Lending to life one final last gasp

Pulling from anguish she gives up a sigh

And lays on the cloud hoping to die.

Singing a song that can never be heard

Bleeding a heartache that can never be shared

Longing for love that will eternally evade

She hides in her paradise of perpetual shade.

The Blue Moon in silence swiftly weeps past

Wishing forever to be white at last

Hoping perpetually she prays to the skies

Knowing all answers  are unceasing lies.

Lamenting a fate that can never be hers

Scarring her soul with infinite tears

Pleading with ghosts that will never admit

She’s left in shadows as nature’s misfit.
