My Child

I was there

I was aware

A spark lit up

And I knew

Ohh I knew alright

My heart would never be mine

Again

You will never know

You could never understand

How you own my

Heart

How could you

Understand?

Stronger

I’m feeling stronger

I cannot say why

I want a reason

To try and explain

But every day

Of every struggle that’s past

I’ve been through the wringer

It’s over at last

We have our poetry

Songs of our heart

And upward we look

And onward we march.

Velvet Rose

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.

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.
