Charm To Rejoin & Tear Asunder

Bring together what was stretched too far
     Whether by train or plane or car
Give strength and knowledge to get the job done
     The first step is over but the game's just begun
____________________________________

Send knowledge of future, of justice, outcome
     To the one who left tasks empty and undone
Will power is needed and a strong steady friend
      To help them acknowledge that this is the end
____________________________________

Two parties, opposite in goals and in means
     Their lifestyle seems idyllic almost sanguine
It's only a façade, behind a closed door
     Any time together feels like a bore
____________________________________

First, bring to her what she sees in herself
     Power and glory, wisdom and wealth 

Follow the song of the muse that she hears
     No longer chased by that what she fears

____________________________________

Then for him, growing patiently older,
       His request is the one that is the bolder
He must go to the point where they meet
     Follow his heart to the echoing beat

Ribbons

Ribbons on wrists
Stronger then wire
Feeding my ecstasy
Bringing me higher
More than gravity
Holding me down
Put in my place
With a smile or a frown
You hold the power
Over my soul
Fulfilling my body
Making me whole

Sight

Call on me in that darkest hour
From your dark and hidden cower
I'll be what you need me to
Do what no one else can do a
And take you to my hidden bower

Our love is your secret power
When the rest of the world seems sour
I know you're feeling blue
The world will see what it wants

We enjoy the grandest flower
Grown and strewn from highest towers Bloomed in love so true
You know just what to do
We possess all the power
The world will see what it wants

Surface

The other side of the glass
A face staring back at me
Reflecting my current self
Or the world I long to see?
A silver mirrored piece
Causes such ponderous woes
When gazing upon its surface
Recalling highs and lows
The power and its image
It's leaden, heavy glare
Reminding us to consider
It's power is we care

The Revolution Will Be Live-Tweeted

The Revolution Will Be Live-Tweeted

While wiling away the lonesome hours

The fire dies away

The subtle form and plays for power

It makes you hang your head

And wonder at this hate filled world

A golden prince in a handsome tower

Keeping girls at bay

What’s the difference between defend and cower?

When words can wound like weapons

Children learn to wield them well

It’s amazing that women haven’t soured

Of lives lived certain ways

There must be a collective willpower

The revolution comes ahead of schedule

It has waited long enough

The time has come to overpower

The world as now it lays

We must o’erturn the bower

Precious things can be destroyed

Only time should be that precious

Once the world has been scoured

We will have our say

No longer will hate devour

And all the world will be empowered

Revelations

So terrified of what it means

What calls in the dark of night

You are the brightest of light

Keeping me from losing my cool

Coming apart at the seams

My battered knight in armor

No longer shiny and new

It’s not anyone’s place to judge

Intolerable what people think they can do

To figures on paper-mache

Used for money or power

Not important for what they portray

Kings no longer have power

Should they?

Divinity

Divinity

Dancing along the head of a pin
Crowded out, pushed way too thin
Too many people, still not enough
Arguing for sanity is dangerous stuff
Trolling for power the rush to be beat
Rivals will mark you, steal a hasty retreat
Never forget Paris, The bouillonnant vibe
Feel what it’s like to be truly alive
Tomorrow will come without much applause
Making it easy to dessert the cause
Listen for footsteps, the tiniest patter
The simplest way to make sure you matter
It’s easy to forget childhood goals
When glory and fame make life seem whole
Time hasn’t finished, there’s a new story arc
Now is the moment; We must leave our mark
Take what is offered, a well deserved prize
You know what is needed, where divinity lies

Ghostlight

Ghostlight

When the curtains close

And the lights all dim

There’s only me

Standing there without him

The lights all fade

To the darkest of blacks

So deep that it burns

Inner demons attack

Swarming and seething

Eating mind and spirit

An all consuming power

No wonder I fear it

That empty stage

That lights on old ghosts

Brings light to the darkness

To what we fear most

So don’t leave me here

In the dark and alone

Give me thunderous cheers

I’ll truly be home

Supernova

Pressure

Not quick, fleeting

Long, steady, building

More than half again

What anyone should bear

Position of surrender

Means anything but

Tables turn

Power switches hands

Giver becomes taker

Shared power

Becomes more potent

And then eventually

Supernova

Dominion

Steel under Silk,

Strength below belies pretty promises.

I love you is a powerful spell

Make me believe.

The power of your spell,

Your power.

You certainly have dominion over me.

Do you have the authority

To control the world around us?

There is no right or wrong answer waiting,

Only green/bright here

Dilemmas arise,

How are they answered, love?

If there is a hunger; how is it met?

With a purely physical proposition,

Or is the answer

Only to wait,

To learn patience, politeness, probity?

Power

Going into a darkness unknowing

Stand up straight and tall

You shall be numbered among the fold

The circle is cast

The fire stands ready

If you have fear in your heart

The blade stands ready

Moving into the unknowing

The blade falls away

Courage fills the heart

Power rises up

Unity abounds

One
