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.

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.

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

Satellites

Against a naked sky

Satellites

Cut across the void

Oh! – my empty heart

If only truth be told

My love and depth of need –

Unending

Pain and endless tears

I cling to you as best I can

While looking to the stars

So anchored firm and sure

For all those

Times and ages past

Now nothing is the same

Lights and satellites –

Expose the hidden cast

Cracked

It’s just a thin line that appears

So delicate and fine that you wonder if it’s even there

But as you shake your head and clear your eyes

A deeper longer darker crack begins to form

You cannot ignore it anymore

It cannot be wished away

It will not disappear

It’s broken.

Sometimes –

Beyond repair.

Break My Fall

Massage my heart

I plead of thee!

Iron out those pleats 

Of pain.

In all my desperation, Lord 

I look above and

Search for thee.

I look towards blue skies above 

And learn again of thy true love.

Though I may fail and stumble, crawl –

An outstretched hand will 

Break my fall.
