One by one
Each leaf unfurls
Invoking the richness of
Scents that reveal the ancient
Secret of the Rose –
Forgotten tomorrow
Unborn yesterday
Today is captured
Until it stealthily
Fades away.
Velvet Rose

Piano Man
Easy on the eye
Not gonna lie
Your fingers caress the keys
As my eyes caress your face from
Afar but close enough
To feel your warmth and
Bask in the music flowing
Forth
Your voice is butter
I cannot help but
Melt into the night as brief
Hours flow by and short
Minutes tick by
And I
Never want the song to
End.
Play my songs for me!
Mr Piano Man.
Please play my song.
Full Stop
Life is short we always hear
But these darn nights are hard to bear
I said goodbye you said yours too
My heart was twisted for I knew
Our kisses had finished, one final look –
A single full stop to close the book
.
Your Child
There are so many moments I could never recall
Your voice I heard from your womb
Your touch I felt from my first morn
Bound together with our invisible cord
But that last night, that last drive, that last time
I heard your voice, I felt your touch
I will never forget, it will never be gone –
For as long as I live
As long as I breathe
I am your child
I recall it all
Company
My words are my company
They’re all I have left
When faces and friends have left me
Bereft.
Soft words cloak my heart
They keep my soul warm
Like music they work like a
Charm.
My words are my company –
A massage and a touch
My words oh I do! I need you
So much!
Logic
I question my logic
I wish I could tell
Why your thoughts and your words
Wrap me under your spell
It makes no sense
I don’t understand
I question my logic
I stare at my hand
I rip off my nails
While I try the hard math
It makes no sense
Overcome with pure wrath
There is no logic
My love is pure blind
No rhyme nor reason
You’re one of a kind.
Words Fail
Words fail me I have nothing to say
There is no reason or why to explain
I flog myself, try understand why
But nothing arises the well has run dry
Emptiness swallows, I drop down the well
Into blackness forever – that’s all I can tell.
Things Happen
Things happen
People fail
Others fall.
Nights follow
Sorrows drown –
That is all.
Changing the World
I believe in you and all you can achieve
In your vision and power to change the world
I believe in you – your strength and quiet grace
I believe in you – grow strong and fill your place.
Grow strong and with every step you take
You will prove your will and rise above the crowd
A beating storm will wash away the moody clouds –
Breathe fresh air, intoxicate your lungs, believe.
Oh steely resolve, that stamina I lack but need
Will come to me, in time it will appear
I will believe just as you have taught me so
To change the world, I will love and learn and grow.
Sweep Me Up
I love you my darling
I love you my sweet
I need you to hold me
I need you to sweep –
To sweep me forever
In your hidden charms
To hold me my darling
In your loving arms
I know it’s not easy
I push those away
That dare to tread closely
Or otherwise stray
Away from my touch
Away from my words
But love me my darling
Forever I’m yours
