We Will Be Together

In orange and lemon dreams
On sun drenched beaches
With melting ice creams,
Wearing our silly hats.
Skimming pebbles
We leap
Like acrobats.
Two rebels
Basking in horizon deep
Of aqua blue.

Now our hearts melt too.
Sea sprayed in embrace
That sweet angelic face.
To share a salty kiss
As the moon gatecrashed our bliss.
And a crimson sun
Sank into the sea
As it cooled.
Your jewelled eyes

Sol

The brightest orb.
That solar daub
Of colour.
Across seascape
Glimmering in silver shape.
Dancing on ocean's shoulder.
Watching the grand,
Tanned
Smoulder.

Lighting the blue canvas
To view
That gallery in the skies.
New pastels with each sunrise.
Tomorrow we'll wake
To Summer mosaic,
Sprayed out across the land.
Glazed by your warming hand
That heats the golden sand.

Glimpse of Heaven

To love you was a glimpse of heaven
Now fading like a ship of dreams
Gliding on an azure horizon
Where faintest of all hope still gleams.
But me, I'm dead in the water
And as i drown in this lonely sea
I try to reach your hand, so desperately.
To love you was like a glimpse of heaven
Sweet kisses fly with the dawn
I lay with aching heart alone with just Sellotape
Our great love story torn
But you are in my head and in my heart
These memories will my sanity save?
My life was worthwhile at last with your kiss
And the glimpse of heaven that you gave.

Ambulance

Love left
With closing door.
My heart bereft.
Torn by the claw
Of a bird that flew.
As I cling with bleeding hand
To storm ravaged cliff,
Stiff.
All tramps will understand.
As I lay on cold bedroom floor.
Hanging
From the night before.
Empty bottles litter my shore.
Branded.
Stranded
My blue horizons call as they fade.
As the day enlightens
Dreams of jade.
And grey dawn
Leaves a living grave.

Your Garden

Your garden in summer, i watch colours blaze
Lighting my soul, bleeding their violet haze
Morning so still perfumed air cools my mind
Lingering thrill as all beauty i find.
In your garden birdsong hangs in the trees
Escaping the dawn to cling to the breeze
And i feel soft and content with you
Out here where our Eden grew.
I remember your garden and you in starlight
We stood alone, save our dreams, after midnight
And both knew so rare this bliss
Would linger like our loving kiss
Our woes before and after we'd pardon
Oh that heaven, standing in your garden.

Is This The Price

Is this the price
I have to pay for love.
Remember when
We shared the sky above
We picnicked in the moonlight
The stars poured our champagne
To words of love
I'll never hear again.
The memories
That tap me on the shoulder
The lonliness
When nights are growing colder.
My empty bed
Where tears are shed
As I reach for a dream.
Your kisses fade
To misty blue
Chased by moonbeam.
Do we live there still
In a rainbow

Daisy.

Daisy.
So lazy.
In a field.
A sunlit shield
Of meadow green.
Bows
To fan your beauty.
Vows
It's never a duty.

So serene.
An open portrait
For the sky
To paint
With cumulus billowed white.
As skylarks duet
In choral flight.
With floral smile
Of sweet delight.

The Softest Kiss

When I did kiss your breast
And every night was blessed
With raging moon.
Now an ageing tune
That is left from our love
Rises with petal wing.
High above.
And like the softest kiss,
Sends shivers down my spine.
To float away,
What once was mine
Turns blue to grey.
When we did merge in bliss
A flower bloomed.
My heart did miss
A beat.
Perfumed,
Your body given so sweetly.
Red stars bowed so completely.
And like the softest kiss

Chasing A Memory

I thought i saw you
In the carriage of a train
I ran the platform
It wasn't you.
Yet I carried on in vain
Chasing a memory.
I thought I heard you
Say, 'Kevin i love you'
As I stood
A dreamer in a supermarket queue
I turned around
To misty visions of you.
And my heart still skipped a beat
Chasing a memory
With crippled feet.
I thought I felt
Your softest kiss upon my cheek
I went to hug you
And heard a lost angel speak.
Then I caught your scent

Plans

My plans
Like finest sands
Slipped through my hands.
Trips
Emotional clips
From our film unmade.
Died in agony
Where they layed.
In limbo
In the shade
- Of our sun
That never shone.
What isn't here
Is surely gone.
Our plans
Like silver gossamer strands
From Aphrodite's hair.
Glittered in wizards hands
With magic everywhere.
Frittered by twist of fate
