Cliff Jumpers


I had a dream about you last night again
We jumped off a cliff together
Holding hands, terrified and so alive
I’ve never known such freedom
Not in real life
We plunged into the freezing water
We screamed and laughed as we came up for air
We were completely alone
A dark forest behind us
It was almost dark
The orange horizon was fast approaching
I remember not wanting to leave
My teeth were chattering
But your chest was so warm
As you held me against you
Looking out over the water together
The whole world, still, before us
My heart was pounding
My mind was racing
But as usual, your warm, strong embrace
Gave me the settled peace my soul longs for
I gazed up at you
Wishing we never had to look away
Because I could hold your gaze for all eternity
Have you ever felt this way?
But then I woke up.

Parallel lines

We’re a pair of parallel lines You’re just like me We’re on the same path But we don’t ever meet You talk to all my friends  but me I guess I’m not that nice after all You You’re in the house up on a cloud Me I’m on a mission.

The angry woman

I am the angry woman I'm bleeding white-hot rage My fury of tears will drown you You should all feel afraid.  My tongue is poised for lashing My feet are here to crush My lungs are filled with fire I cannot stop the rush. My skin is scalding ashes  Of a burning, ember heart My words beat down like hail My screams are lightning darts. Watch me drink the poison And wait for you to die I am the angry woman But you all think I lie. 

The others

I only change for those who let me But they're too quick to forget me Already out the door As I want to give them more I'm only as happy as I choose But everyone tries to make me They're always trying to please me Instead of telling me what's wrong Am I too sentimental?  I don't ask too much.  Do I sound too certain?  They worry I will get resentful.  All the things they ask of me When in the end, I let it be I've never been one for convincing But they all say I'm a charmer It's only because I run warmer Than what they knew before I don't fake my emotions I'm no manipulator And if you got to know me,  You'd see I'm not a taker I don't fight, I won't fight I just laugh and I cry And I try real hard To make it look I'm alive.  Maybe I hide too much They can never tell my bluff I'm not misunderstood The moment they get me They're not sure if they should. Hope by hope I drip away Fading colour on my lips One by one I lose ...
