Night's Lure
stars and shadows
bright lights and dark paths
the bump and grind
the peace of silence
the heavy sultry beat of night clubs
the insect call
the still, quiet silence of homes and parks
the fast times
the glitter of faster cars
the dead times
the endless and dragging boredom
stars and shadows
new moon; full moon
shadows as your friends
shadows as your enemies
on your toes
and on the go
finding trouble and the flash of fun
by the sniffing of your nose
as Dawn breaks so too
does the still
silence of
stars and shadows
bright lights and even darker paths

Dizzy 971029
Dressed in rags of
broken light
Wearing scattered rays of sunshine
Dancing in her sonic shoes
Hear her feet as they sing stories
Dispelling the nocturne
Everywhere she casts her glance
Transforming the silence into
Something we can use
Twisted senses, tendrils of confusion
Probe my mind for food
What else can I do but give them life?
Nothing can kill her now
Nothing can kill her now
Neurotica
Nothing can force me to die again

Youri's Tears
I see your last face again, it always is there
My loving child, as if you have not died
dancing in my arms, a safe and sound guide
Your peaceful brown eyes still not aware
Close my sore eyes that have no more goal
I beg You withdraw all those bitter tears
Silently running through hurtful years
And give me a home, a warm soothing soul
My bleeding heart offers You every day
A powerful beat for each memory alive
Listen to that prayer and make her revive
To lead me along a more colourful way
I fear the black night so dark and so deep
When grief full of passion meets utter despair
I struggle in quest through thin midnight air
And fight Him Who freezes the rivers I weep
My skies so steel grey with vast pouring rain
It folds me in blindness at shimmering daylight
Your perpetual beauty is what He cannot hide
So don't let me wander and suffer in pain
At dawn our seven swans will repeatedly weep
I beg you, my love, why are they so still
That tangerine sun, its purpose seems nil
When it sees my stare surviving my sleep
I love you so deeply, my missing child
My God above You'd better taken me
Allow me to sleep now, please let me be
I can stand it no longer, leave and be mild
Scarlet armoured brushes will never go dry
When I paint in shades of untamable sorrow
Because if it were now or maybe tomorrow
In your vivid colours, love, I do wish to die
