still alive [21 Mar 2013|05:57pm]
as she takes me by the hand
and the summer in her eyes
shines so bright so promise
flickers up inside you like a wish from faraway
farawhen
farasleep
i brush the snow from my shoes
lace up and get up and
take her hand again, so silently
two figures, against the wind
two figures, against the northern sky
envelops us fully as it sings
so full so longing
warms up inside you like a wish from faraway
farawhile
faralive

still alive...

wrap the honey [17 May 2012|08:34am]
so caramel, this summer air, so
deep breathe water
and me sitting atop the ocean view
the power lines freshly uncut, and
you sleeping in the wire times with
a head full of songs

we went to the libraries
and we went through the fires
and the doors to the underground opened wide
"come along now, let's go for a ride"
pretty escalators
pretty escalations
and her with the radio mind, always tuning, tuning, tuning, tuning
always changing the station
just when we thought we'd arrived, and
always channeling some new ghost
when all we had was the writing on the wall
wrote it down then, there in the bathrooms
greentile and some mellowing floodlights, I
wrote those names in purplepurple
wrote some good names
right then

so you're going to university, so you're
finally free
and those books will suit you pretty and I
will paint you some lunch
let's sit out here in the grass
let's deep breathe water...

these lovelines [30 Nov 2009|09:21pm]
Some crimson laughter, some memory song,
lights spill the pages, ice makes me strong
Fever to work it, water to dry
Ashes to ashes, clouds to the sky

I had me wishbone, I dreamt me a kite
to tie round my ribbon, to set me aflight
I sent her three kisses, I wrapped them in peace
she sent me a love note weaved into fleece

Of cats and of dragons, she wrote the first line
Of beauty and sparrows, and of cherrywine
I sat under plumtree, I breathed it alight
and held it so closely, with all of my might

So we flew through the feathers, we flew through the skies
Held on to each other, held on to the lies
For what's made of bone one day will be stone
And what's made of light
Will one day drown in night

But what's left never dies

These embraces
These lovelines
These traces of silver and fire

Are unbreakable ties

vampire 08 [09 Mar 2008|01:30pm]
I am water. Unknown daughter. Under thought and inside mind.
I am water. Firstclass auteur. I am cutting my own path.

Will you hear me? Try to steer me?
Try to make me speak your words
Will you catch me? Try to match me?
I am water breaking ice

And I am water in your eyes
Your eyes...


I am firstborn. Cold as new dawn. Fast as wires speak the truth.
I am gliding. Co-inciding. I am rising up again.

And you thought you
were so clever
And you thought you
knew it all
And I took you
and I made you
look
at me

I am you
I am you

I'm the you before the kiss
I'm the you that you now miss


I am younger.
Cold and stronger.
I'm the one that got away.

The one that got away.

better now [04 Jan 2007|04:47pm]
[ mood | tender ]

dreamscape fast falls below zero
fours and fives and nines
she sings of dreamgirls and fires and low lights
and I dance myself to sleep

up on that speakerphone, all down that freewall
doesn't half taste lemon ice
from left here

broken old wishbones, flushed down the old stairs,
new kittens and new words now

if you please

come off that cardhouse

I can't hear you when you're talking to the stars

so happy

these stories sing themselves to sleep... [29 Nov 2004|05:59pm]
i have this friend. (just a friend.)
he likes to collect.
things.
small things.
like, y'know...marbles. pebbles.
hearts.

(all these people you sleep with. isn't it my turn next?)

arrived, stockholm, 10am flight on schedule. weather: mild to moderate, considering the season.
she renegotiates on a sucide pact with Mona Lisa:
"I can live outside the frame!".
and double-mocha fortified:
"I know that now!"

(silent films. so hypnotizing.)
green eyes. blue smiles. lips red like heart. red like cherry-marble-hearts.

i have a friend.
we like to collect things.
sitting for days in a lemonschnapps glass, watching the people and clouds stumble by. i catch thoughts and he talks to glitterflies.
but we always set them free in the end...

my little star [03 Aug 2004|12:22pm]
[ mood | dream codeine ]






I send you thoughts hidden in secretive glances
like pages in notebooks sleep underneath grass and rosebush

you take your time to find them because
you say you like the anticipation

penelope at 51st floor [19 Jul 2004|01:18pm]
[ mood | liquid paracetamol ]

my new room messes with my height perception. the windows are taller and lower than i've been used to. the ceiling is lower, too. to look out the window feels I feel much higher than I've been since aberdeen 02.
all in all it makes me feel dizzy and tall. like I want to lie very still and flat out on the floor.
which i have done.

the room is very bright and my new flatmates are nice.
we ate cherries all night and talked of stealing penguins.

sleepflower [24 Apr 2004|01:54pm]





on a kinda greeneyed day, sleeping in amber so slowly
prettylight cuts a figure, down 'gainst the church walls, a friday.
it's so much louder when everything sleeps.

and when you're razorcut from my skin
i promise these roses won't notice
little diamond star, just how crystalline you've become
being crushed by the weight on my shoulders...

[ mood | incoherent ]



I just want to sleep sleep sleep...
...drown in sleep...it's been 3 months. and I'm so beyond mania and hysterics. I'm just day-light halluzinating now. For Real. There's lizardmen crawling along the ceiling and blackcats keeps swishing in and out of cornersight. Cowboyjunkiegirl says she wishes she saw cats. I guess it's a nice kind of trick.

Songs and pictures aren't creations anymore, they're a weed growing, a virus that's spreading cobwebs over my eyes and my mouth and wiring me closer to the deepsea bed of confusion...

Mr Pajo wants me to go to a concert tonight and he laughed at my t-shirt, I took the piss out of him enough to get pens thrown at me, and it's only 3 o'clock...

blind fighter pilots [17 Feb 2004|12:20pm]



Blind fighter pilots circling overhead last night, dreaming me sweet of Indonesia.
Never thought I had the rain in me, but I do, I do...

Drank some oranges. Spilled some wine. Cowboyjunkie sent me golden sounds. Rollergirl was dancing for money downtown. While uptown streetboy said again that he loves me. I lost a cat but now it's sunny again.

veronica fever [06 Jan 2004|01:25pm]
[ mood | heatshivers ]

or possibly redcandle dripped into my mind...lying dimmed down under darkblue sheets, mild hospital light licks the walls.
soft whitecat lies on the floor next to me, watching. cats like to watch fever. cats like to dance with you when you're drunk.

drunk... rum stops the nausea. rum and saline. peanut tortillas and orangejuice shakers, serve with vitamin c pills, so many till your gums tickle.
but it's good for you.

he and she and they and it run thru my room all day all night.
sleeping in 90min slots, dreaming in blocks and in shifts. feverdreams so colourful. stories are better than thoughts.
thoughts are useless when your sentences run together like puddles of rain on the street.
like sitting in a cushion den livingfloor smokehouse next to a celebrity tree and three potential flatmates. talking about bbc travelling and china smiles. such a pretty house. many fishies on the ceiling.

danced with two girls. one is my ex and the other i kissed. still strange to think that you'd pull a gay man in a gay club with two lesbian friends. truth or dare has a lot to answer for.
and i've stumbled up steps and steps and steps lately. but it's good. it's good.

saved by the smokescreen [27 Mar 2002|04:41pm]
spilled some vaseline
red and green fingernails
he found my assertions real pretty
as i lay in silence, waiting for the goodluck kill
but the army outside our window
just marched on by

didn't see our sunflowers shine brightly
didn't see ours was impeccable sky
