Stars
Stars, the eyes of the world
- A million love stories could tell.
Sweetest songs fall under their spell
And along with blue moon
Ring the softest bell.
Shooting stars
Gunned me down
Yet i fell without a sound
Your passion was so profound.
This aurora
From Interflora
I sent you in my dreams
As i watched in silver streams
Our starlight slipping away.
Stars, our memories collected in jars
That we keep for a rainy day,
To spread over our dismay
To hide our battle scars
- We ride the milky way.
Stars, your eyes stole diamonds bright

Alone
So I am alone
But will not cry.
Won't miss the pain
Or the fakes who lie
With empty words.
I have the birds,
The sea and the sky.
Their poetry will set me free
And I'll get by.
Stargazing
Trail blazing with my rhymes.
Touching hearts
With real life crimes
Of love and romance
And other things, by chance
That do not last.
I'll tie myself to the mast

Heaven Scent
Slipped the hangman's noose
Came out with ugly scars
Chose poisons of abuse
I dipped in medicine jars.
Lost my only love
Bled bitterness inside
Sought shelter from above, but can no longer hide.
Ah, Heaven's scent sweet aroma of the soul
Heart - mails come and went
Lost in the big black hole
Where Satan whispers 'Death' and waits for minds to crack.
The jumper draws last breath
Still twitching on the track.
But we can pray 'Lord, take it all'
Ah, Heaven's scent evil will fall.
Walk in fire light that always shone
With deeper prayer all bombs have gone
Answers not in sages or pages
Peace is never outside the door
The chancers live 'dark ages' and rages

Eternal Love
Rest in the Lord
And know.
You will be happy again.
Free of anguish
Clear of pain.
And in your Heaven
Burning stars
Will light your heart.
And heal the scars.
Do not
Cry tears of grief.
But weep with joy for your belief.
Unknown colours
You'll explore.
Forever young
Your songs unsung.
Wait for you
At Heaven's door.

Just Me Since You've Been Gone
I can't look at the stars anymore
Did dawn turn the sunlight on?
Is that blue moon as sad as before
Or is it just me since you've been gone.
My rose tinted specs are broken
I shiver in the cold light of day
The Shakespeare in me has awoken
Alas, I'm an extra
In loves' great play.
Was that the stage I died upon
Or is it just me since you've been gone.
My world is in black and white
My colours have run away,
An angry wind has stolen my kite
And I can't chase rainbows today.
Is it in my stars?
Or too much time in bars
When nightmares still linger on.
Is it Karma
Disarming this charmer

Autumn Dreams
Can you smell the morning mist
Roasted leaves cannot resist
The chilled wind of change.
As colours rearrange
That thrill
In orchard dawn the senses fill.
The wine of Autumn dreams to spill.
With scented smoke
Memories evoke
A childrens choir
Around bonfire.
Will you wake to winters' cold
To frozen lake
With skaters bold.
That silent death of ageing year
The bated breath of Christmas cheer.
But is all that glitters what it seems?
I'll find my gold in Autumn dreams.
Where nature set by silver streams
Great art to fade away.

I'm So Happy
I'm so happy
i could clap
me- i feel so thrilled
My heart be stilled.
This soul is singing
To stars I'm clinging
The bells are ringing.
Love's cheeky chappie
I'm dressing snappy
World- I'm so happy!
My face is grinning
This new beginning
Just makes me smile
-All the while.
my dancing feet
Just keep the beat
To the the rhythm of love
In the coolest style.
My eyes are shining
That silver lining

To give her up
Break it if you wish devil time
Extinguish flickering candle rhyme
But a heart won't die if love is the crime.
Taunt me with grey washed sky
As silence whispers her goodbye
And endless film runs black and white
Escaping, running through the night
Her countenance rouge kissed in flight
As fingers touched and eyes were bright
My heart was torn never to heal
And bleeds for how she makes me feel.
To give her up my soul would seek
Eternally her petal cheek
Plunging deep into abyss
Lunging for one gossamer kiss
Reaching for her hand through cloud
Bleaching souls that wore a shroud
Quiet hearts that cried aloud.
I wake- you're coursing through my veins
White horse of passion slipped the reins

How i feel
Ask me how i feel; summer rain in sea of flowers
Or clifftop sunset, lighting ocean's sleeping rage
To feel night's hidden storm as starlit beauty cowers
Releasing sweet sonnet from the page.
Ask me how i feel when trees dance with sun's soft kiss
Or breeze softly combs morning meadow like a wave
To feel snowflake cool a fevered brow with bliss
And view the solitary bird that twilight sky did save
Then ask me how i feel about you.
Ask me how i feel when autumn carpet rolls me welcome hue
Two wedding rings in golden June
Distant music washing me with sky of blue
Dancing on white sands as friends disappear too soon.
Ask me how i feel when moonbeam lights a childlike face
Or grey train carries unknown love away.
When tear creeps down the lone clown face
As lost romance pleads in vain to stay
Then you know how i feel about you.

Mad
Call me mad as a love crazed moon
Beaming to a lonely sea
Aching so silently
Bleeding since you left me.
Mad, as the night for the gift of sight
Candle lit your cheek
Your beauty had me seek
Words only the dumb would speak.
Say i'm insane as i ride grey train
Your smiles are left behind
Some hobo wind will find
And fly them in my mind.
Put me in chains every time it rains
Or i will run with you
Down leafy avenue
And bid the world adieu.
Inject my soul if protocol
Brushes the heart from my sleeve
