My Gift
You are God's gift to me.
Love travelled land and sea
To rest with tranquility
In my heart.
Your smile I've always known
Before the wind had blown
Before one seed was sown
In my soul.
I rolled with the tide
Was swept far and wide.
My hopes hanging on a crescent moon.
I prayed that you would appear soon,
But i only heard your echo softly say
'Darling, I'll fly with you one day'
I yearned for the lips
I had never tasted.
Burned through the years
That without you I'd wasted.
Que sera sera
God's tuning his orchestra

Birthday Card
I kiss the card I will send you
And wonder where you'll be.
When you cut your cake
Or raise a glass,
For goodness sake
Why can't I let it pass
But sadly, that's just me.
I should admit
That you don't care.
I will sit half drunk
And swear.
Then play music
That just makes me cry.
You see,
You never said goodbye.
I write in the card I will send you.
It's hard to put down love
In 2 lines.
I'm scarred
But think the sun still shines.

The Colour Of Life
Orange blossom clouds
Diluting the blue.
Lit by a solar magic hue.
Dripping fresh raindrops
Giving flora their smile.
Then
Midnight aurora
Dances with style.
Brush strokes on this canvas
Feel like a kiss.
That dries on the breeze
Of scented bliss.
Water coloured pastel shades
Lie on the river
When moonlight invades.
With its azure beams
And lovers' dreams.
The diamond eyes of astral skies
Wait in the wings.
Once dressed in red

Souls Together
Lonely as the wind i reach
Like a falling climber for you
Desperate pumping heart
Waiting to hit the ground
Without a sound
I scream inside and nobody hears
-But you.
Two souls as one i lay in the night
My gaze fixed on black
Where you once breathed close to me
Your eyes a beacon to my soul
A lifeboat in a deaperate sea
Where nobody sees me
-Please rescue me
Then you
You hear my thoughts still
And now as i wake from a dream
Sinking when you're not there
I feel your orgasmic touch
On my naked skin

Forever
Happy, I join the morning sun
As you run to me, hair up, full of fun
You twinkle like a diamond
In Nature's necklace.
As you greet me in meadow.
My spirit riding reckless.
I can breathe and smell the air
My heart awakens now you are there
My soul courts billowing clouds
As your lips brush mine
Released from grey bustling crowds
As our urgent bodies entwine.
And I will wake one winter bleak
And still feel petal softness cheek.
And hands refusing to let go.
Oh my lover I adore you so.
Hold me under amber glow,
As stars are fired from Heaven's bow,
At crescent moon.

I Know
She's out there
Heart beating
Like the wings of a bird.
For me.
Sent by Aphrodite
I heard
Her symphony
- Winging through the ether
As her fragrance lingers long.
A million stars beneath her
She pours out our secret song.
Truly
Only in moonlight glow
Do I feel.
I know
It's real.
Her kiss
Would heal the scars where I bled
When bells rang in my head.
Would cut the thread where I hung

Jail
Police sirens wail
My heart is in jail.
Falsely accused
I stand abused.
Love is my only crime.
I plead
Through the bars of this rhyme.
Will bleed
And carry scars
Doing time.
Yet
You escaped the pains
Just left me with these chains.
The evidence of past events
Sent you on the run.
You pulled the trigger in every sense
- Death without a gun.
Your promises failed
I was drowning
- You sailed.

Fated
In a little cottage by the sea
She waits so patiently for me
Though we have never met you see
Fate knows our love some day will be.
Maybe she lives in the U.S.A.
Perhaps New York or even Santa fe
I'll board a flight to her someday
When fate decides to show the way.
I've always loved her through my tears
Been waiting for a million years.
A needle in a haystack I'm told
But her smiles still warm
A heart that's cold.
A bell will ring
small voice I'll hear
Then serendipity will make it clear
Those trains we miss
The plans we change
Impossible love fate will arrange
And when we meet two hearts will skip

Natures Secrets
The floral dance we never see
On summer night
Past oaken tree.
Lit by the moon
They sway and sing
And on the wind
Their melodies ring.
As storm clouds huddle close
To cry
The sun, their host,
Just wanders by
To speak of tales
The heavens did tell.
But cloudburst bids a last farewell.
The trees that stand and watch the sky
Waving at us passers by.
Miming opera on high.
Stemming tears with unheard sigh.
In rhyming verse
The breeze does bring.

One Sigh
Join me
On the ledge of life
To jump.
Or wait,
In patient sunset
To fly.
What wings
Could take us as high.
To touch
What Icarus
Did regret.
One sigh
Of love.
Pays any debt.
Come with me
Unto the ocean.
To die with grace
In diving motion.
Together
