Rescue

Our love lies in a darkened room
Bleeding in the gloom.
A fresh faced maiden, aged and week
A bold young man now wizened and meek
Dying well before their age.
The sunlight fading from memories' page
Gasping like landed fish
Looking skyward for one more wish.
To touch again on midnight station
Escaping on that train- to nowhere
Kissing all the way.
So who will rescue?
Who holds a key
To save us from eternity
Alone in that darkened room
-Called home.

In The Night

Angelic.
Her face.
That stranger on a train.
One ride away from never.
Those words
As elusive as ever.
Another silent goodbye.
As I alight
Another thrill
Disappears in the night.
Heavenly.
Her perfume.
I'm drowning in her sexy eyes.
A bus ride of Winter gloom,
But she's a chandelier across the skies.
My heart is pounding in my ears
How will this be sounding in 20 years.
Another case of so nearly,
Not quite.
As her smile fades to blue

Somewhere

Somewhere, somewhere in the sunlight lies our love
Somewhere on the winter wind i can hear you again
In our dreams we touch in the rain
Somewhere we can run to hide from the pain.
Maybe with the stars up above
The twinkling of your eye meets mine
Somewhere in summer meadow we kiss again
Where we walked our lovers' lane.
Somewhere by the passion of the sea footprints remain
Where i wait to see your face
Sunlight through grey
Holding you again- one day.

Little Girl Lost

Little girl lost her ballon.
Shaped like a heart.
She cried.
Maybe the wind
Would blow it back soon
I lied.
Or the moon
Would catch it in a beam
And fly it
Tonight in her dream.
Little girl lost her love.
Escaped from her heart.
She cried.
Maybe fate
Would bring him back soon
I lied.
Or the moon
Would catch her in a beam
And fly her
Tonight in his dream.

One New Morning

One new morning
When I meet her.
We will go to a movie.
I'll say she is groovy.
She will laugh out loud.
We will hire a boat.
Put on a coat.
And take a picnic
Under pinkest cloud.
The sun will light her hair.
I'll kiss her then and there.
A new dream will be born.
Just like tomorrow's dawn.
Then
She will wear my ring on her finger.
And
I will wear my heart on my sleeve.
I'll pray each night
That our love will linger.
Yet

Aftermath

The aching silence
Of loving you alone.
You lay with me
Though you're not there.
Our kisses
Hang in the air
Like some forgotten cologne
You used to wear.
I watch you sleeping
On bed of rose petal.
How can I settle
For less.
Empty arms
Grieve sweet caress.
I talk to you
In lonliness.
As you drift
Through my soul.
A recurring dream
The black night stole.

Robin

Robin
In exquisite song you blaze.
Hidden in puffed, fluffed red haze.
As naked branch does embrace
Your warmth of melody.
Frost
New sunbeams will chase
To set our spirits free.

Romeo
Where is your Juliet?
Can I share in dreams upset.
Before you fly, we must forget
Precious times that came and went
To leave us with their lasting scent.

Your music will soothe our broken hearts
And melt the ice away.
Your lullaby sweet love imparts
As twilight steals the day.

Vows Of Love

We will throw our flowers
In moon blue river.
Carrying promises out to sea.
All that is ours
Will ride the waves
To sweet eternity.

We will box our dreams
And wrap them with bows.
Then post them
To wherever the wind of change blows.
And wait for reply
Of a harvest moon.
Flying them in the sky
With a silent tune.

We will keep our love
In rainbows above.
Until sunset steals
Our multi coloured bliss.

Strawberry Delight

Strawberry
The texture.
The sexture.
With cream
A dream.
The taste
Unchaste.
Made to share.
For a pair
In love.
So red
Does it blush.
When ice has a crush.
In a smooth delight.
Our milkshake
Of the night.
And that kiss,
I reminisce,
Imprinted on my shirt.
The fruit

Music

Music, the one love that has been constant in my life.
My refuge, my transport to joy
Ethereal escape.
A pain bringer
Or a healer.
A symphony emerging in the mayhem of strife.
A friend, a memory.
Another time another world.
Music, unwritten love
To paint the wind.
Exquisite joy waiting to happen
When the next heartbreak needs a soundtrack.
Music, everything to remember and look forward to.
Our soul needs to bathe in it.
Our hearts need its hand to hold.
