when i saw him on his front porch carrying a torch in the morning cold,
was a dark night when he slammed the door i don't know what he took me for
maybe it was he reminded me of a love i lost in the falling year,
maybe he was just a ghostly replica of him no longer here
he loved my photo but it was for you
when i came to, it all came true
was a dark day when i lay down on the street and waited a long time
try as i can to blacken the memory of the tin cans
thought i was a hero that i went back to zero
try as i can to blacken the memory of the walking man
he was the hero, when i was at zero
you left me alone, you left me alone

Book of Poetry

I had a dream you told me to find a book of poetry
to keep you in mind but set my heart free
you gave me some names, some titles to seek
so I'll no longer be weak
all I was seeking was the answer to a simple question
is there time left or am I wrongly guessing
to my life you were such a blessing
I don't want to let go
all of my life made up for so it was worth living
by the sweet heart you somehow kept on giving
in my mind I came to believe in
something I'll never know
I'm awake today in a dreamy haze
I can still see the smile upon your face
since I've known you I've stopped counting days
counting my life away
since I can't set myself free you do it for me
you tell me to awaken to my calling
but I'm still here and I'm still falling
deeper and deeper in love
I had a dream you told me to find a book of poetry
to keep you in mind but set my heart free
you gave me some names, some titles to seek
so I'll no longer be weak

2022 girl manifestation

Once upon a time I lived in the Eastern suburbs of Sydney, where subtropical trees grew, frangipani flowers littered the streets and I lived in dreams. Dreams of long hair, laughter, bony limbs, small breasts and music festivals.
The year 2022 is subtropical for me. I’m going home. I’m meeting a girl. We fall in love.
The best movie I’ve seen in the past few years is When Marnie Was There. It’s a Japanese anime that implies girl on girl love in a subtle way so you’re left to wonder. My love will be like that, with all the behind the scenes that aren’t in the movie.
Two girls, we can call ourselves that because we look like girls
Both in size 10 jeans, faded blue and faded black
Long hair, different colours,
Bracelets, guitars, and butterfly kisses
In clean urban apartments, dark bars, the front lawn of a party or the harbour front
I’ll light a candle soon and things will unfold
My girlfriend will do all the things with me that I've never done with men. Trips to the country, dancing at gigs holding hands, sleepovers that have a certain quality that is in between friendship and what couples do, because sometimes we giggle about guys on those nights, intermittently kissing. If I’m asking the universe for anything this year, this is what I’m asking for. Dream big.

For Mark and Elizabeth

since you asked for a melody with your names to be in it
since you asked I am giving all I can
there is sweetness at the end of this for me thanks to you
and I am going home at last
Mark and Elizabeth oh how far we've come you have been my saviours
can you hear I'm not crying on a piano
though I know how to play it it's the instrument of love I have chosen
my trusty nylon string guitar
I am not mistaken in thanking you
I am a free agent from now on
I am so grateful to both of you
Mark and Elizabeth you have changed my world for good
and that's all it takes to see his heart was good
and that's all it takes to see his heart was good
since there's time left for laughing here's a gift for departing
je t'aime mes amis j'espère que vous allez bien
when tomorrow comes I'll be living in my hometown once again
breathing in the salty air
loving someone who loves me
thank you mark and elizabeth

Her fairytale lyricism is influenced by fiction and sometimes real life, and she is mostly a recording artist whose favourite place is her bedroom where she can write songs. Mayumi's music is like a freshwater spring bubbling up at unexpected times, or a silk quilt in a warm lamplit room on a cold day. ... more
Mayumi Mullins recommends:
Come Apart and Overthink It are my favourite tracks. I hardly have the words for these songs, you just have to hear them. Such great attitude from the ever unique Fazerdaze
