Cried

As we moved together
In the rhythm of love
Our souls touched so gently
And we lay in our tranquility
As one
But free
And cried those happy tears of love
Together.
As we moved apart
In the rhythm of life
Our hearts still beat in time
And I lay with just a lonely rhyme
As one
But trapped
To cry those bitter tears of love
Alone.

Grey Winter Skies

Grey winter skies
As the sun hides his eyes
And a raincloud implies
It may cry.
As rivers run in fright
Of a frost laden night
A lone star does light
To ask why.

Grey winter skies
As my love hides her eyes
And a teardropp implies
I might cry.
As lovers run in fright
Of that cold final night
A lone flame will light
To ask why.

For A Day

The rose now dies
But still lives in my memory
The fragrance flies
And leaves my soul sweet eulogy.
All that is special will pass away
Like the love we shackled
For a day.
My heart now dies
But still beats in a lonely room
Called my life
Where every hurt will loom
Surely bad dreams must pass away
Of losing you
My Princess for a day.

One Bliss

I love you much more than love was meant to be,
With all my might, but softly.
And any light that shone on me
Came from your soul
Your eyes told me.
And i will never let you go
But walk the tightrope where below
The world waits for my fall
But destiny does call.
And we will kiss whatever web is spun.
One truth, one bliss
That we are one.

Picture.

Ihave your picture in my wallet.

But I have your kiss in the jasmine
Of the summer dusk.

I have your picture in my wallet.

But I have your eyes in the starlight.
Dancing across a frosted field.

I have your picture in my wallet.

But I have your touch on the breeze
That bends the flowers in green meadow.

I have your picture in my mind.

Could I Say Goodbye

Could I say goodbye
To the stars and moon.
That lit her face
With heavenly tune.
Playing
Swaying
In our joy.

Would my heart allow
One final birdsong
From the highest bough
Of the tallest tree
Kissed by the sun.
The dawn cannot be undone.

And that lonely sunset
Painted in our sky,
Means

Crippled In Love

Do you remember when
You really loved me.
I danced through months of joy.
Now
That callous magician,
Time
Has waved his wand.
And I'm crippled
Without your bond.

Through years of pain.
The life we planned
Died inside.
To understand
You have to bleed.
Like me.
Not hide.

From love running free
Now

Flowers In The Hall

Flowers in your hall, you always liked the colours
And you were that kind of sunshine.
Tears in your eyes, not for you but for others
You were that kind of beauty.
Love in your heart, you made even me feel wanted
Brought dreams back again
I could never emulate that kindness
You saved this life before leaving
You will always be standing in my mind woman
Always.

Distant Dreams

I can hold you in my dreams
By country path
And avoid life's evil schemes
And hear you laugh.

I can feel your hand in mine
As if you are there
And drink the sunset wine
That lights your hair.

Our kiss that is so light
But stings my heart
As stars smile their goodnight
We ache to part
Yes nothing is ever as it seems
But i'll love you again
In distant dreams.

When Love Dies

Where does love go
When it dies.
To a lakeside
Or bluest of blue skies.
Does the moon call it home.
Or the stars watch it roam,
Guided by their own torchlight.
Does it fly like a kite.
Or plummit to the ocean.
Will that poetry in motion
Fill a page
In some poet's unwritten book.
Will it come back with a look
In a strangers eyes.
Where does love go
When it dies.
