When you rang the bell
Then ran away
When you kissed so sweetly
And turned the key
When you slammed the door
Then came back for more
I wonder, oh, I do
What I ever saw in you
And why, oh, why
Do my thoughts still
Swing your way
What did I ever –
What could I have ever
Seen in you?

Wilted

Wilted blossoms –
Today’s fading beauty
Yesterday’s pride
Life

I birthed
I cried
I laughed
I lived
I loved
I thrived
I hoped
I wished
I prayed
I dreamed
I worked
I saved
I shared
And finally
After one
Fleeting day
I died
Hope

I hid behind flowers
I ran in the rain
I flew to high heavens
Ignoring my pain
I dreamt of my life
I dreamt of your love
I dreamt of friendship
And hope from above
I will be offline from Thursday until Sunday evening.
Wishing you all the best.

Regret
I never knew how much
I loved you until
You turned your face away
I never knew how much
I needed you until
You turned yourself away
I never knew how much
You meant to me until
You no longer were mine
And now I know how much
I love you
And I know how much
I need you
And I know that your life
Will never be one again
With mine
Closer

You pull me closer
Closer to you
My beating heart pumps
With the passion of youth
And I wonder if today
If today will be the day
When your lips seduce
The whole of me
I am transported
Closer to you
Closer to where I want to be
Closer to where I want to stay
And even though time has passed
I will remember –
Will never forget being
Closer to you
I remember the lurch within
My body being on fire
As if it was only but

2015 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.
Here's an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 47,000 times in 2015. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 17 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
New Start

All the years
All the times
All the joys
Hopes and fears
Pass away
As moon and stars
And fading night
Herald in a
Fresh new start
2015
Thank you to all the friends I’ve made, and support and encouragement this past year 💝
Secrets

Songs of the ocean
Sounds of the sea
Whisper secrets of
Wisdom to me
Of all that’s past
And all to be
And all that is
Eternally
