A window opens and clouds engulf the mind
Grey clouds with darker undertones
Raining down thoughts of cynicism and despair
The world itself is distorted
On some level there's still an awareness
Knowledge that this storm is only temporary
A certainty that this too shall pass
But in the moment it's smothered by a malaise
When caught in the storm clarity is stifled
It doesn't take much to be carried off
Carried off by a maelstrom of turbulent emotion
Sent careening through a twisted mind
How quickly we're seduced into embracing it
All the confusion festering within
We'd cling to those darker undertones
If they didn't kiss us goodbye and blow us away
A window opens and we breathe out a miasma
Leaving us shaken and bereft of colour
Perhaps a price paid for a cleansing of sorts
For the fleeting reprieve that follows

Melancholia
Soothe and subdue me,
overthrow the ferocity
that harrows me nightly,
and all through the day,
when I should be
happy with you.
Say you will slay
all of my fears
and the forces that drive me
always to tears,
or this intensity
will surely devour me.
You won't escape its teeth, dear,
because you love me so.
You stand by your woman,
even when the wind is blowin',
threatening to tear our house down.
And the colder the winter,
you just hold me tighter,
vowing nothing
will tear us asunder.
Golden-hearted you,
bravest of lovers,
have withstood all the tempests I bring,
but together we will drown,

The May Queen
There is a ghost still left in this machine,
but all it does is sigh,
“I used to be the May Queen…”
And like the wind blowing
through reeds, soft and haunting,
is the familiar sound of that wistful sighing
the remains of a mournful cry;
“I was a queen and now I am nothing...”
“I used to be the May Queen,
when I was fair and seventeen.
The summer sun was candy sweet.
I danced carefree in my bare feet.
I had a young man's heart to share,
I wore his flowers in my hair.
My world was new and evergreen,
when I w

The Angel's Lament
The bell tolls its haunting ring,
A tune to which the angels sing.
Their promise of exquisite things
Falls deaf on those without their wings.
