Because Of You
Because of you
My life has been worthwhile
This wounded heart just flew
Your sun returned my smile
An ocean sky turned blue
All stars burn bright with fire
Your sweetest love so true
Has sent angelic choir.
I shake
I ache
With lightning in my veins
I break
I take
This wild horse
Through my chains.
Your smile that heals
My soul that feels
Our bodies merge as one.
Because of you
Love left one clue

Ghosts.
Grew
That soft scented flower.
Between the rocks of my life.
Choking
In that desert of no hope.
Dying of thirst.
A balloon
Must float away or burst.
Blue
The lips of death.
Between a beating heart
And a lovers last breath.
Cascading
From the clouds
Masquerading
In the crowds.
That sunstruck smile.
From the wand of a wizard
Skating

Our Dream
To soar like an eagle through canyon
So close we could never let go.
The wind be our only companion
As we leave it behind down below.
Like Icarus we fly toward the sun
But starlight will guide us away.
Our lips touch, now we are one
Heaven just called us today.
We make love on a cloud as we used to
Your eyes need no light from the moon.
Love's ember gaze wins my heart true
Your soft voice in angelic tune.
So dream when the wind wakes the trees
Our passion still roars as it's burning
That lion brought us to our knees
Eternal hearts beat a ceaseless yearning.
To feel our hearts embrace
One breathless kiss will save our life
Wherever we run or chase
Destiny still holds the knife.

Professional help.
Optician can you help me see
Beyond my nose, beyond the pain
Or is it not down to optometry?
If love is blind do i need a white cane
Physician will you reap what you suture
When fragmented hearts you repair
Or does it not bide with your surgical future
When emotional scars are still there.
Dentist can you extract the truth
From the lies that the world has told
Or maybe i'm too long in the tooth
To believe, when my rock was rolled.
So does it come down to psychology
Do we have to be cruel to be kind
Or maybe i'ii opt for aastrology
Where our destiny is defined.

Will I Ever See You Again
Will i ever see you again?
Standing at the railway station
Eyes smiling just for me
In that blue summer dress sensation
When I'm dreaming of our used to be.
Love urged our lips to touch
As our two souls merged in bliss
I'd trade my life as such, for just one lingering kiss.
Caught standing in moonlight blue
As our bird of paradise flew.
I had waited all my years
Thought that you would dry my tears
In lonliness my heart would burn
I could hear the pages turn
The last chapter of my life
Fate holds roses or a knife.
Now this castaway like sunset in the bay
Is fading with the day.
Will i ever see you again?
My heart whispers it wont be so

Tin Man
I know the tin man feels pain.
Sees the sun cry in the rain.
Knows the leaves miss the trees
With every Autumn breeze.
I know the scarecrow
Stands forever in slumber.
One sunrise
And his blue sky will be revealed.
He'll walk away
That Summer's day
To leave an empty field.
And every down and out will hope.
And the lion we are will cope,
And not shy away.
When our hearts are torn
Our dreams won't stray
Too far.
And isolate,
Vegitate
Crying that our stars expire too soon.

Waited All My Life
What to do
When I've waited all my life
She cuts the thread
Uses a bloody knife
Where to go
I've taken all the flak
I know I am stabbed
With deep wound in my back.
Her words haunt me
Like a far cry in the dark
Her eyes taunt me
Lika a reignited spark
-And won't go out.
Solutions from all around are rife
I wantv to shout but silence screams
Do they know i waited all my life
To watch love
Fall apart at the seams.
So now I'm drinking
Some say that it's abuse

Memories of St Valentine
Love is happiness trembling, resembling a rose
A lesson of beauty, Still fragrant among the willows,
Who for us do weep
As now our lips touch only in sleep.
Yet like the moon
I must to let you go.
Until you shine on me in some tomorrow.
True love stories never will end
Flowers that will sway and bend.
And when my heart begins to break
I know that yours will feel the quake.
The only truth i know
That love will save the show
And I desire to be nothing more than in your heart.
Until forever dies.
Or sighs eternally depart.

Brand New
What path she walks?
Near or far?
How sweet she talks to yonder star.
Yet her wishes cannot be heard
Disappearing like a solitary bird
Into a sky of ethereal blue.
As I patiently wait
For my love
Brand new.
Her scent as fresh as pine
She blooms as spring time flower.
Her kiss still on the vine
I will drink at twilight hour.
Our bodies ache in tune.
Her eyes of blue lagoon
Kiss me in the night.
Her sighs float out of sight
To rest in morning dew.
That zest,
Our love

Chelsea Tractor
You and your Chelsea Tractor
And as a matter of Max Factor
Made up like a diva
The archetypal deceiver.
You speak with a mouth full of plums
Arrive to a roll of the drums
Yet i know that you feel alone
Shouting on your 'Android' phone
Pouting in a man void zone.
Nobody's looking, smell what's cooking chef
You blow your own trumpet with a treble clef
But like it or not- the world's tone deaf.
You and your Chelsea Tractor
Off to your chiropractor
But it's a soulmate that you lack
To take the monkey off your back.
And your parties, lush though inane
Any excuse for a rush of cocaine
Momentarily eases your grief
But your delusion will be your masked thief.
