“Money can’t buy happiness” they said
But in all that time of stress and strife
An income sure would help my life
So I lowered my head and did what I could
To gather some coins and reams of yarn
I knitted a scarf of grey and blue –
Money can’t buy happiness it’s true
Though it can pay rent and food and wool.
Oh that annoying rumbling
Grumbling greedy
Intoxicating feeling of
Infatuation is eating me
Alive
Why does your absence hurt so much
Why do your eyes flicker through my mind
Why is my life filled with your void
Oh, for just one moment in time!
Wrapped up in our love
With nowhere to run
I dream of you
I desire you
You and me
And
Us
I’m here if you think of me
I’m here if you care
I desire you daily –
My nights filled with dreams
Reach out and touch me
My female awaits –
You are my destiny
My soul mate
My love.
Can I capture time? And preserve it for always. So it doesn’t escape or spoil or merely slip through my fingers. How I long for those days of yore, when children’s laughter filled the home and my heart. When days ahead seemed boundless and never ending. Oh this time is a cruel thing, and so it is. Time heals everything, and yet, it is time that snatches everything in its path as well. A greedy lustful enemy is time.
As much as I try to escape it
It creeps up on me, you know
I have nowhere to hide
I have nowhere to go
I feel so helpless
There is no hope
Black covers all
I see no light
In the dark
I give up the
Fight.
I am sinking
Further further further down
Darkness surrounds me
It’s all around
I’m trying to breath
My air is cut
Joy is dead
I have nothing left
Stop pulling!
Don’t make me drown
Under under underneath
I’m gone
Land of opportunity
Plains of the free
Australia my country
Sydney to sea
I look to your hills
Your echo through trees
I am blessed
Myself and family
So many nights
So many hours
Minutes
I wished to break through
I willed to reach you
So near yet so out
Of reach
Do you hear me?
Can you feel my
Love I offer you
Haters can hate
They will and they do
I can love
I will and I do
I have a gift
A gift for you
I offer it
With love so true
Within my open palms I hold
Many prayers that overflow
For health and wealth and joy and peace
And light to follow where you go
All the best to you and yours xx
