The spider walked on fraying thread
(Against a harsh and trying wind)
Still shedding shreds of ruin
(First love unto a sin)
The currents batter and betray
(Burst of flame beside him singing)
Still righteous faith bade him to stay
(Still wounds of heart remain unhealed)
Little White Notes
A pet project of mine.

Dust
The dust it
Corrupts the sunlight
Disrupts the reel light
Obstructs the view of
Freedom past the window
Corrupts the sunlight
Disrupts the reel light
Obstructs the view of
Freedom past the window

Deidre's Song - The Childe
The childe sought the wintry night
By the pool of streaming light
Saw naught but peace that it provides
Felt not the cold's first frosty bite
I flinch not from the darkest sight
Nor from swift and icy winds
My steps are sure, my wings are grown
Mother Maeve come take me home
I await the wintry nights
Through the summer and the spring
Until the day for which was made
This dance to welcome mother Maeve

Deidre's Song - The Mangrove
The dreams are hollow and filled with sand
(On the edge of a cliff and a rugged precipice)
Castles built by foreign hand
(Stock still as the porcelain beside the prone widow)
Make me a mangrove that I may demand
(As tides rise and fall washing away)
My roots to grip the salty sand
(Elaborate pillars of salt and sand)
(On the edge of a cliff and a rugged precipice)
Castles built by foreign hand
(Stock still as the porcelain beside the prone widow)
Make me a mangrove that I may demand
(As tides rise and fall washing away)
My roots to grip the salty sand
(Elaborate pillars of salt and sand)

Doll
Painted on the marble stretch
Macabre red on heated stone
Lilting laugh at nothing latched
To nimble fingers laced with flax
They clambered up the too-high steps
By mirrors' light on plaster splashed
Opened the little door to fetch
The button eyes and needle thread
They'll bring a toy for little girls
To perfect dollhouse woven
To place within a room once loved
For newest soul beholden
Macabre red on heated stone
Lilting laugh at nothing latched
To nimble fingers laced with flax
They clambered up the too-high steps
By mirrors' light on plaster splashed
Opened the little door to fetch
The button eyes and needle thread
They'll bring a toy for little girls
To perfect dollhouse woven
To place within a room once loved
For newest soul beholden
Can you guess what movie this is from?

Bluebell Lights
How strange, the sky is falling
My darlings, don't be mad-
I knew; it was just simply galling
The way they looked past
At the Blue with no regret
The Green it seemed were stalling
To watch, to grasp their grubby minds
On the things they're sure to tell
I'm sure they'll find appalling
The pall of rancour that I spread
My dear beauties, come to me
Where's the Red? You clamour
Red's too refined for this;
Though you may endeavour
But this is so much better.
The noise enthralling- do you hear
The tolling of the bell? How it's calling
Through the cawing, the Red and
The Green and the Blue, oh do you hear
The tolling of the bell?
My darlings, don't be mad-
I knew; it was just simply galling
The way they looked past
At the Blue with no regret
The Green it seemed were stalling
To watch, to grasp their grubby minds
On the things they're sure to tell
I'm sure they'll find appalling
The pall of rancour that I spread
My dear beauties, come to me
Where's the Red? You clamour
Red's too refined for this;
Though you may endeavour
But this is so much better.
The noise enthralling- do you hear
The tolling of the bell? How it's calling
Through the cawing, the Red and
The Green and the Blue, oh do you hear
The tolling of the bell?

Deidre's Song - The Ashwinder
In the wake of laughing flame
Winding through the ash
Embers watched him as he came
And then took out the trash
She knew only swathes of fire
Something tinny in her ears
Scented tears of hurt and pain
Saw him laugh and feed their fears
She lay on timber, gave a sigh
Watched the boy with shaded eyes
Let them take the boy away
And teach him all for naught was wise
Winding through the ash
Embers watched him as he came
And then took out the trash
She knew only swathes of fire
Something tinny in her ears
Scented tears of hurt and pain
Saw him laugh and feed their fears
She lay on timber, gave a sigh
Watched the boy with shaded eyes
Let them take the boy away
And teach him all for naught was wise
