DROUGHT
The soil
Is hard and crumbling,
It stretches on, and on,
Not a drop of water,
Has reached this place,
In so long a time.
My heart
Is cold yet living,
It’s beating on, and on,
Not a bit of love,
Has reached this place,
In so long a time..................Fleur ‘92
IN MY MIND
I search but I don’t find,
I seek but I don’t ever see,
The mysteries that float,
In my mind.
I hunt but I don’t catch,
I cry but I don’t weep,
For tragedies that re-enact themselves,
In my mind.
In my mind I see,
Beauty which has no place,
On earth,
A love which is restrained,
Peace, slaughtered by war,
New life, Rebirth,
All this is what I see,
In my mind.........................Fleur May ‘92
HAVE YOUR SAY
Some say ‘you’re noisy’
Others ‘Too mad’,
Some say ‘Too ugly’,
Some say ‘Too sad’
Some don’t care,
Some say I’m Pretty,
Others just glare,
But do they really know me,
My heart and my soul?
I’ve been hurt, and
I’ve cried till I’m dry, and
I’ve loved all I’ve got till,
I’ve got no more to give,
And it’s taken,
Soaked up, and wrung out,
Then thrown back, at me,
With negligence, hate, and
No care.
I’d pour out my heart,
Till there’s not a drop left,
And I’d shout till I’m blue,
But no-one would listen,
And no-one would care........Fleur June ‘92
PROBABLY
I think I might,
I might not.
I could be right,
Right about what?
It could be,
But then again,
I’ll just wait and see.
Life’s a pain.
I could do,
But what if I don’t,
I know I should do,
But tell you? I won’t!...........Fleur July ‘92
OUGHT TO
It could have been,
But it wasn’t.
It might have been,
But it couldn’t.
It should have been,
But it wasn’t allowed.
I sit, desolate,
Feeling sad,
It’s over, so soon,
Yet, in some strange way,
I’m glad..............................Fleur June ‘92
Untitled
Where once there was a place,
Throbbing with life,
Full of happiness,
No creed, colour or race,
Now stands a ruin,
Void of life,
Full of despair,
No joy, love or care.
This place is so near,
And when I think about it,
I am filled with fear,
This desolate part,
Is within me,
It beats as a part of me,
My heart.............................Fleur June ‘92
WANT
I want to draw you,
A picture,
That’s here, inside my head,
I want to show you,
My feelings,
That are hidden, almost dead,
I want to hear you talking,
The things you always said,
I want to listen to you,
Think,
And get inside your head.....Fleur Mar. ‘93
CHURCH OF FEAR
Dark Church of Fear
You have many in your congregation
Hungry, grizzled faces leer
Your horrific sermon fills the nation
Dark Church of Fear
Cast in the shadow of doubt
So far and yet so near
For a new scared flock you tout
Dark Church Of Fear
Pulpit set in the heart of humanity
The price to your following is dear
Slow rot, ranting madness, True insanity.....Nov'96
