Sweet Pain

I am watching sunshine lit clouds.
Can you see them too?
Look at us
Basking in the light of love.
Swimming in blue.
Merging with the colours above.
Of those years ago.
Though apart
Let's watch it grow.
And then,
Like our beauty
Go.
Ah, sweet pain
Will remain.

My Angel

Sunrise maiden
In silken gown.
Dreams fall
From her stardust crown.
And lie among
The red and brown
Of autumn leaf.
Time, the thief
Stole Summer's smile.
Yet her bluest eyes
Shine for a while,
Before turning to the sky.
My angel
I do cry.
Take me when you fly.

Wonderful Day

I wish you today
Smiles in your heart.
The sun in your soul.
An open sky
To fly.
A Heavenly drum roll.
And starlight in your eye.
Angels burning white.
And the moon to kiss goodnight.
In the music of a memory.
That will so sweetly play.
I wish you
A wonderful day.
Today.

Out Here In The Cold

All I have is echoes
Words of love once said
Promises uttered in her bed
Now they will never leave my head.
All I have is Geckos
Lizards who call me friend
All with useless advice to lend.
Can't they see I will never mend.
These blizzards will never end
Out here in the cold.

Touched

The sun came out today
I know, I felt it.
Though the night stole every ray
Why did i ever doubt it.
It shone
Was gone
And I was touched.
Your smile reached me today
I know, I felt it
Though a thousand miles away
Couldn't live without it.
Never gone
Will linger on
And I am touched.

Friends

So now we're just friends
I will crawl away.
Into the love of yesterday.
Hanging in a noose.
With no soft touch
To set me loose.
I bleed and choke.
Yet, still see the joke
Of absurdity.
Don't set me free!
Just let me be.
To dream among scars.
I will die
When I've kissed
The moon and the stars
Goodbye.

World

World, who holds all the aces
In life's game of chance,
Your turning, my learning too late.
World, there is good and bad in us both
I sit in the corner and you spin me round
Yet we both have personality old man,
Can't you stop time, show us your hand,
It takes, makes all the tricks.
I need to understand.

You Are Here With Me.

I feel you in the wind
your eyes sparkle in starlight.
The sun throws your smile across the sky.
Your scent lives on fragrant flower.
You are so pleasing to my eye
Gladdening to my heart
Eternity will not seperate us.
Because you are here every day

Burning love,
The pain exquisite
Sleep well.
In slumber we touch.

Icy Moons.

Dark.
Nostalgic
Fireside afternoons.
Time lets us
Replay those tunes.
But
Comes back to haunt us
With icy moons.
Throwing beams
Stowing dreams.
To relive again
Love and pain.
And kisses
That we missed.
Misses
That we kissed.
Behind the dunes.
Now swept away.
Night mocks the day
As memory swoons.

That Pain.

Roadkill.
A bleeding deer
Soon forgotten.
Now the road is clear.
Blood
Washed away by rain.
But I
Will always remember
That pain.

I died
In my sleep.
A few souls did weep.
No longer
Than my ashes would flame.
Now the coast is clear
And she's shed her tear.
She is
Free to love again.
Damn her
