There are more things...

There are more things in my head,
Than on heaven and Earth.
I just haven't found them.
Even though,
I dragged the corners of my mind.

The Vampire

When the smoke and the mirror clears,
The reflection left
Is not what's expected
I haven't come here at all
There's no shadow staring back at me

Breakfast

Marmalade,
Tangy orange heaven.
Chunked to the max
Smothers toast.
A bite, a crunch.
That citrus burst.
A sigh,
A slurp of coffee.
Ready to tackle the day.

Don't Break The Hold

Don't........

Don't break the hold,
Or I may fold,
And fall into an
endless vault of
Vaulted faults
Down tunnels of time
So don't
Break the hold,
Or I may fold......

To the One I Love.

To the one I love....
I glimpsed behind the curtain of your eyes,
And saw your soul laid bare.
A smile was all that was needed,
To see how fair the beating heart must be.

Holiday Heat

Sticky, plastered paint peels
From sun dusted walls,
As shadows creep backwards,
Towards the point of the day,
Where,
Heat blasts it's volcanic breath,
To bake
Those who dare.

S.m.m.

Slow moving music.
Sleepy musical mood.
Sweeping manoeuvring minuet.
Soaring melody momentarily.
Sensitive meaningful melodies.
Sound mad maiden.
Soul musical mate.
Soul madly made.

Gentle whispers

Speaking silently,
Through gentle whispers.
A hushed voice telling tales,
Brushes across the grass.
I hear it calling my name
Softly, achingly whispering
From a time long since gone.

Hey You!

Hey you!
You'll do,
You've shaken the winter,
From, my eyes.

Hey you!
You'll do,
Lifted the sunshine,
From the rain.

Hey you!
You'll do,
Bought me time,
From the past.

Hey you
You'll do!

Heard a...

Heard a beautiful piece of music today.
Do you know it?
Is so simple, so pure
Contains all there is to know!

Smelled a perfume today,
Reminded me of you.
Is so simple, so pure.
Contains all there is to know!
