SO THIS IS SILENCE The boy walks round the jagged rocks Caught between ideals and desires He shrinks into oblivion And there was silence as he sat so still Averted face stares at the floor. So this is silence So this is silence Listen the sound of laughter The frenzy and blind violence of fear Listen the sound of laughter The frenzy and blind violence of fear. Alone again with light and silence Alone again with the skies. So this is silence So this is silence Silence Silence Gunshots Car crash Raindrops Silence Fox barks Raindrops Idiot cries Gunshots. Silence Words: S H Jones

TALK WITHOUT WORDS We look up silently Without quiet music. My face four days old Your look new born. There’s fear in your frown like mine No distance away, Noticing a hand half around my head And on my face Protecting me Protecting me. Afraid of your frown don’t change For me expressions. A button undone The earth that’s on my back And in my hair Portraying me Portraying me. You’re so clean untouched Like me experience possessed She breathes so tense Flexes her hand Don’t relax Projecting me Projecting me. Words: S H Jones

THE TEASE THE TEAR Your features Looking so happy inside Don’t let them see down Through the floors. Ignores the questionnaires and smiles Plays ignorant for words today. The blind could not ignore your smiles Here in your features anger talks, Jagged haggard they talk Screaming still. To sorrow features never hide To sorrow features cannot hide Jagged haggard they talk And then my fear behind Venetian blinds. Appear hidden in reflections Speaking nothing abusing my ears. The wailing sirens in your eyes Here in your features anger boils, Alarm aware they talk The tease the tear. Alarm aware they talk The tease the tear. Words: S H Jones

IMPULSE OF MAN True or false, the life of man Beneath her dress so soft so thin Not wicked thoughts, explains he shakes For Gods sake hold the key Locks in this agony. Your arms are positioned but they are not nailed You look for the pacifist but he went, he’s lost in the maze These winds are cold and it’s walls will press his face. True or false, impulse of man Hits his girl she swirls across the floor And as she falls bites out his tongue Black strips on the birch Mans eyes bulge and burst. Words: S H Jones He shouts “Oh pacifist help!” But he cannot hear He’s lost in the maze. The rock cuts his back And the wind will press his face. True or false, impulsive man Erase the face from smile to scream Must keep his hands inside his head Tear lines in her clothes Bruised hands hold the rose. So now you must wait For the honey to come to your throat Your arms are splinters But they will scrape the disease from his face. Press his face.

Shrine 03:40
SHRINE Material folds From rough modest clothes Slabs of cold sacred stone The peasant girl kneels. The peasant girl kneels In strips of feeble watered light Slim fingers clasped Warm steady precise The unwanted love for a murderer In strips of feeble watered light. Echoed sighs Soft Madonna eyes Bathe in smooth flickered flame The peasant girl kneels. The peasant girl kneels Crosses herself slowly The warmth envelopes, seals But stays as quietly she leaves. To love a murderer. Words: S H Jones

TWILIGHTS POOL Transparent babies, we walk like men Across the marshes and back again We seek a different view A world that’s fresh and new. We wait together at twilights pause Bodies dance forever, the cool dark pool She craves to swallow you Fill your lungs Fluid pure as morning dew She craves to swallow you. Transparent babies, we walk like men Across the marshes and back again We seek a different view From each hill We drip the morning dew On a world that’s fresh and new She craves to swallow you. Our reflected bodies rise And we walk like the new born On ploughed earth waves She craves. Fill your lungs Fluid pure as morning dew. Words: S H Jones

OUT OF THE MOVING LIFE OF CIRCLES I could be the money Scattered in the ash, You could be the jewellery In the silver box In this heaven of mine. I won’t come back. Watch the candle burning Watch the candle drip This heaven of mine. I won’t come back I won’t come back. Words: S H Jones

Shantell 03:37
SHANTELL Winter winds blow the trees, Creatures trapped have to fall. Hear their howls claw the sky… Whispers follow Shantell. Shantell sleeps tables creak Mirrors start to speak. Branches scratch, tap the panes Whispers follow Shantell. S H Jones

WALLPAPER DYING The cold it penetrates so deep The leaves cry drops of ice, A fire guts the land inside him He wonders what’s it like To be in the sunshine with her. The wet material on his face With line of unforgetful stress A scratch in the wall by his side He watches all the time While all around him wallpaper dies. The boards of such familiar grain Are roads leading nowhere, Careful drawings in the dust He tries to remember… The breeze it blows it all away. Something through the darkness Caught his eye. Words: S H Jones

THE SECRET SEA She swims the secret sea of sleep's cocoon It's soothing hands caress her dreams, she breathes She tries to hold him in her arms But sleep walks away She holds but light burns the day. Upon the secret sea she floats alone She sees a figure on the shore who casts A shadow across her bedroom floor. The tide pulls the day She calls but sleep floats away. A swirling flood invades her room as sleep Takes off his head for her to feel His eyes lose his face, Day pulls his eyes from his face. She calls But sleep walks away She calls But sleep floats away The light burns the day. Words: S H Jones
