Love In Disguise

In candle flame
That burns in my soul
I am warmed
In the beauty of your eyes.
I see you dancing
Across open skies
And know
It's only love in disguise.

When full moon
Lights frosted field.
And stolen embrace
Is revealed.
When kiss lingers
On my lips
Your taste of wine.
Beauty taken in sips
Is so divine.
But I've been here

I Believe In Love.

I believe in love.
Though I sleep
In an empty bed.
Despite
The film show
In my head.
On an endless reel.
- It taught me how to feel.
I love to stand in the rain
To feel its kiss.
Only love
Could teach me this.
And rain hides tears.
As a grey sky clears
I look above.
And know.
I still believe in love.

It lit my lights.

Sweet Woman

You lit a candle in my heart
I feel your warm eyes
You bring me blue skies
Yet take my breath
Away.
And I'll miss you for another day.
You inspire me
My passion is yours
The sweetest soul
That touched mine
Opened all my closing doors
With emotion so divine.
What is this
The secret lovers kiss
I send you on the breeze
To touch your lips
Oh darling answer please.
Our star will show
Then i will know
That you glimpse heaven too.

The note we never wrote

Somewhere in a windy bay
Stained with seaspray
Lies the note we never wrote of our love
Tossed and blown
The scribes hand unknown
But words of an indelible tone carried our hearts away.

The letter of love spirits did craft
Floats out to sea like an unmanned raft
Waiting to rescue two souls lost apart.

A message without a bottle
A car without a throttle
With wisdom of Aristotle
Waiting for us to be read.
Proof the heart should rule the head
Great words of love we never said
Despite the wounds of life we bled the same blood
Free and true
Someday we'll view

How Can You

How can you
Be with somebody else.
When all I have is a ghost in my house.
How can you
Sit at the table
And serve him
His favourite meal.
Do jigsaws and crosswords when able.
Now I can't even learn how to feel.
He steals your lips
From me.
Contentedly sips your tea.
And holds you through the night.
How can you
Now I'm out of sight.
Do you cry
To music with him.
And laugh at movies we favoured.
Does he
Keep his body in trim.

I Will Escape

I want to merge
Within the sky.
Bleeding watercolours
Like an artist's sigh.
Hang me
On a crescent moon.
And leave me to bathe
In starlight lagoon.
Lower me in solar rays
To sparkle on oceans
In Summer glaze.
Put my heart
On a midnight express.
With a one way ticket
From loneliness.
Let me die in a sunset.
And cry for a rainbow.
Yet,
Take a fairground ride
On candyfloss cloud.

Crayons

Can you
Crayon my soul
With colours bright.
From a rainbow
That bled sunlight
After the rain.
As the sky blushed red
With pain.
When the sun
That it loved,
Sank again,
In the west.
Here's a test.
Crayon
The clours of love.
And don't forget
Deep blue.
A kaleidoscope
To choose.
A combination

Angel Soothe Me.

Angel soothe me
In the rainbow of a memory.
When it flies
Wipe my eyes
In smouldering caress.
And bless
Our love as she sleeps
For keeps.
Soundly
Profoundly.
As we explore together a world
We fought to keep.
Don't weep
Our smiles await.
Angel soothe me
When my heart's torn
Even more
By fate's stinging claw.
When it flies
Kiss my eyes

Token Cripple

Look there's the token cripple
To his wheelchair tie a balloon
Don't speak or cause a ripple
As he takes off for the moon.
Never approach the disabled
Though they're human or so it's fabled.
Look there's the token paraplegic
Address him through his carer
Save face and be strategic
A megaphone would be fairer
Never assume your ignorance shows
Don't prove your a fool
He already knows.
Look there's the token cripple
In a pub garden with friends, and talking!
You mouth to him 'What's your tipple'
And crack a joke about Stephen Hawking.
How much more cerebral he'd be
If like you he could master walking
- Away.

With All Your Might

To love someone with all your might
Is not enough.
It's not that black and white.
Just taste sweet kiss
Before the fatal sting.
It's hit or miss.
With or without a ring.

To want her back with all your might
Is not enough.
Just steal another night.
And hold her near.
Before your last sunrise.
- It will appear.
With or without disguise.

To need someone with all your might
Is not enough.
Whoever's wrong or right.
Just ride a dream
