Meg Lealand

Dream of distant cities
Dream of choirs or song
Dream of buried treasure
Waiting for so long
...

Warm swell
Lit eyes
Beaming face
Nice suprise
...

A perfect day
Should never end
Just press 'replay'
Again and again
...

Why are some songs so annoying?
I mean, do I really care,
About the way to Amerillo?
Or who's waiting for him there?
...

Sometimes, the kindness of others,
Overwhelms me.
Forgetting war, and poverty, and greed-
Just for now.
...

'Mum, there's an elephant in my bed!
I think it just sat on Teddy's poor head! '
'Come on, don't be silly!
It's probably just Milly!
...

Stinging
Tears springing up
Close your eyes
Hold them in
...

This flower is one of darkness.
The petals are velvety black.
The thorns are spiky and malicious:
A rose- but does goodness lack.
...

There's a crack in my curtains.
Light's coming through.
Makes sense- it's only half eight in summer.
I'm thinking about what could be out there.
...

Tick tock, tick tock
Got to stop watching the clock
Hours pass by
Watching ceiling as I lie
...

Things never seem fair
When they happen to you
Others never see it
From your point of view
...
