Uncertainties.

Lips of fresh scented rose
not yet kissed
Curve of warm breasts
softness not yet embraced
The gentle arc of your back
not yet caressed
Don't hurt me
Don't shatter me
Please don't break  

this brittle heart.

The Birch of Cancer.

~ An olive branch

Drifts through my fingers

burnt to a cinder

Cancerous, decayed

Before I could even feel it's warmth

Soft in my hand. ~

In the broken heart, a shattered rainbow with dizzy colours.

Round, round
The merry-go-round
Left, right
Up and down
Circles, circles,
So very dizzy.

I love you
I hate you
I kiss you
I spit on you
I love you
Fuck you.

The best thing that ever happened to me.
The heaviest drain, ball and chain,
Devoted, I'll never let go,
Too hard basket, piss off, leave me alone.
I hate what happened to you,
You deserve every piece of hell you got.

My perfect goddess
Emotionless bitch.
My ultimate Queen
Self-loathing slut
My beautiful angel
You. The dysfunctional failure.

Round, round
The merry-go-round
Left, right
Up and down
Circles, circles,
So very dizzy.

A broken heart splinters
Shattered blinding bright
With more colours than any rainbow.
Circles, circles. So very VERY dizzy.
Which is left, which is right?
Which is dark, which is light?

The Dream

Every time I wake up

There's an open space

But I see your eyes of blue

Echoes in an empty room

Everytime I breathe

I'm still hearing you

You're not here in this place

And now each step I take

Wishing I wasn't walking alone

I want to open my eyes

And see this all gone

That you're still there in front of me

I want to end the night

Looking into your eyes

Gazing into my heart again

Heart is tight now

Skin so cold

‘cause you're not here in my arms

You're gone

Back into the shadows

Walking away once more

Shoulders shaking, heart breaking

"I can't do this anymore"

Baby there was nothing to do 

Now stop your tears

Nothin to do just love

I want to open my eyes

And see this all gone

That you're still there in front of me

Can this silence end now?

Your golden hair spilling onto me

Can this distance close now?

Drink your kiss, love into me

Can these tears stop now?

My life’s complete, you’re one with me

I want to open my eyes

And see this all gone

That you're still there in front of me

I want to end the night

Looking into your eyes

Tell me you love me once more...

Lyrics by MB.

The 2 Of Us

Lying in my bed I think of you
That song goes through my head the one we both knew
In each line lies another line full of sacred sound
But you're outside where the companies dream and the money goes round
Lying in my bed.
Watching my mistakes
I listen to the band they said that it could be the 2 of us

The snow might fall and write the lines on the silent page
But you're outside making permanent love to the nuclear age
Two silhouettes by the cash machine make a lovers dance
It's a tango for the lonely wives of the business class

Lying in my bed
Watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
Lying in my bed
With nothing much to say so I listen to the man
He said that it could be the 2 of us

I heard you call from across the city through the stereo sound
And so I crawled there sickeningly pretty as the money went round

Lying in my head watching my mistakes
I listen to the band
And the drums beat in my head
Pianos chime the sound in this prison of the house
And as the illness comes again can you hear me through the rain
As I listen to the band?
As I sing the silent song
Mime each lonely word
Please listen to the man he said that it could be the 2 of us

Alone but not lonely, you and me
Alone but loaded...

~ Words & Music Suede 1994

I Remember You.

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through

I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew that you were there for me
Time after time you there for me

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand, I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd want to hear you say, I remember you

We spent the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said I love you babe, without a sound
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand, I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd want to hear you say, I remember you

We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand, I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd want to hear you say, I remember you
