Magenta
Magenta
Who sent her?
To dance in crimson
Through my dreams
To cast a spell of silver streams
To wash my soul.
Magenta
Who lent her?
Lips of ice on fire
Song of angel choir.
To blow my mind with whisper soft
Her smile
That held the stars aloft
Across an endless sky
To disappear like sigh
Loves' distant wave goodbye.
Magenta
The scent her
- Flaming flower brings
In desperate hour clings

Sunshine
Sunshine through my window, thought you'd left me with the night
Waved goodbye at twilight.
My heart sank with you in the west
But as i quickly washed and dressed
You kissed treetops, and lit snowdrops
And promised Spring as lovers' hopes on breeze did cling
And feathered soft dawn choir did sing.
Sunshine in my soul i look toward an open sky
Empty, save for a songbird on high.
My senses fill with jasmine plume
Breathing life from Winter's doom
Rising where the angels flew
Setting on earth where Eden grew.
Blood red heaven as sunset dies
But resurrection lights the skies
And sunshine smiles as rainbow cries.

Clouds
Clouds i look up to you
When i need a view
To take me away
From what's left of this play.
You gathered, swelled with rain
As she faded from view
And cried to drown my pain
As i bathed in you
And wished you'd taken me along
When the moon turned blue
As a sunset stole my song
I just mimed goodbye- adieu
And hoped she saw the sadness in the skies
As i watched the fading sunlight in her eyes
Within my mind, when love was kind.
Clouds the only pillow on which to sleep
Forever
In soft embrace to keep
Her memory safe, untouched
At sky, like love i clutched

Oh Lord Please
Oh Lord please
Ease my pain
My blood is running down the drain
My eyes are glimpsing hell again.
My breath is short
My love was bought
- With fleeting rhyme.
To stab a clown
Must be a crime.
No scars to show
No stars to glow
I fell so soft
Hands held aloft
Down on my knees
Dear Lord oh please
Ease my pain.
She treads across my heart again
By ballerina I was slain.
My head is filled
With words that chilled.

Wings Of The Night
Wings of the night
Shimmering light
Passes over the moon.
Like some silent
Spiritual tune.
That ballerina
Of my soul
Pirouettes
Across the stage.
Lit by the sleeping rage
Of the sun.
Was this
How love begun.
Wings of the night
Fluttering white.
Against blue canvas
Of eternal sky.
Only angels
Fly so high.

Stop And Drop The Show.
Dripping
With the diamonds
Of forgotten sun.
A devil moon
- This sky has spun
With burning tapestry.
All fires
That were,
And are to be
Rage
In the silence
Of a purple sea.
A billion dancers
Of eternity.
Whisper promises
Of golden morning.
With twinkling eyes
Amid
Blue serenity.

Love
Love is what it feels like
To watch the sky
-Paint pictures for the heart and eye
That passes any other by
But you and I
On our rollercoaster ride
In azure blue
To view
Just how we feel inside.
Love is what it feels like
When souls break free
Then touch with perfect harmony
Nobody hears the symphony
But you and I
And a crashing sea.
Standing in the sun
As one
As spirits whisper 'It's meant to be'.
Love is what it looks like
When stars collide

The Mother [For Madeleine]
One heartbeat that is yours and mine
You visit my dreams and whisper 'I'm fine'
Our kisses touch on gentle breeze
Your inner light, while on my knees
warms my hopes before they freeze.
Two souls refuse to say goodbye
Time and distance may ask why.
In lonely night together we lay
Yet tomorrow's dawn takes you away.
Years die, unmeasured miles tease our respite
But you are as the sun that burns so bright.
I feel your eyes, I touch your hand
My faith still flies in wintry weather
Darling hug your pillow, but understand
A promise- you and I together
Love's candle burning like no other
Returning daughter to her mother.

Hurt
Laying naked in the moonlight.
To come together
Such sweet delight.
She quakes in the act of love.
She aches for my hand in her glove.
That desperate sensual ride
We burn
Two stars collide.
Then deep contented sleep
I kiss her breast and weep
With joy.
She gave me all I need
I leave her with my seed.
But I'll be gone before the dawn.
Before a new sun is born.
Love won't bring me to my knees

All The Fun Of The Fair
Tomorrow I'll find someone new
Tomorrow I won't have the flu
I'll wake up with the sun
Shake stardust from my hair
Watch all my colours run
Yes, all the fun of the fair.
Tomorrow I won't slash my wrists
Not while the alcohol persists
But cry to the same sad refrain.
And spend the night in a chair.
As love leaves on a distant train
Tomorrow, all the fun of the fair.
As bitterness eats me alive
She tears my heart from afar
My gamble is just to survive
My emotions all in a jar
- On the shelf of forgotten dream
While hope drowns in silver stream
That washes my touch from her hair.
Ah yes, tomorrow all the fun of the fair.
