Out through the glass
to the past and stars
lamplit rooms and lines of cars
On past the drain
warm as pain and wine
threads in an endless stream of time
Ragged Sun, Ragged Sun
Down into town
human sounds and sights
Drunk young girls, fallen copper pennies
Flight of a bat,
slinking cats and clouds
cracks in the concrete a plastic shroud
Ragged Sun, Ragged Sun
i cannot leave, i must stay in this flux
i want to change but the stains in my blood
On through the cold,
Old as coal and bronze
veins of leaves and half made songs
On through the dark
To the park and swings
Shapes take form, they begin swarming
Ragged Sun,
Ragged Sun,
Ragged Sun.

Blue Flowers

I'm haunted by blue flowers that grow in the caves,
lush thick green ivy that creeps across the grave
the scent of a woman the heart of a slave
what is this bitterness in love i taste?
the night comes rushing
down the grassy hill
for one glassy moment
all the town is still but
by the silent tendrils
of the rusty moon
a fist unclenches
like a flower in bloom
i searched for the blue flowers in night's city maze
in libraries and factories shop window displays
at midnight the musuem door opened wide
in darkened glass cabinets all the horrors of the mind
far from the path of the righteous i strayed
by a wax work de Sade I knelt down and prayed...
Do blue flowers blossom
across the morning sky?
outside the theatre royal
200 years slip by but
by the golden tendrils
of the darkest curse
my chest unclenches
like a storm cloud burst...
the room turned to cardboard
i fell through the void
all sense all pretence of illusion destroyed
i was the illusion the shape of a dream
the space and the weight of a daffodil scream
a fox on the lap of the king of the dead
who feeds me blue flowers whilst stroking my head
a sundrop shatters
across the midday sea
for one glassy moment
all the light breaks free but
by the fresh green tendrils
of a kiss released
my soul unclenches
may she rest in peace....
