Angels
(Fia Naturie/Billy Snagg)
I cannot compare thee to anything.
One look stops the very air that I breathe.
As angels kiss lips as soft as dew, sing,
For all that I yearn will make me believe.
And I carry on musing just the same,
Through life's tribulations, dancing a tune.
Loving each other, there can be no shame,
Proceeding in time to the sound of June.
Now when I think back to those pastures ripe -
Carefree and joyous for all we were worth,
Even on days we would carry a gripe -
Still you're my sunshine, my heaven on...
I cannot compare thee to anything.

Loving each other, there can be no shame,
Proceeding in time to the sound of June.
Now when I think back to those pastures ripe -
Carefree and joyous for all we were worth,
Even on days we would carry a gripe -
Still you're my sunshine, my heaven on...

I Don't Wanna Talk!
I don't wanna talk
I'm loathed to speak
If I stay silent
My silence speaks!
I've said too much
Revealed too much
Can't pull it back
Without some tact
Do you see these lines
All squished together?
Don't wanna talk
Makes it better!
I don't wanna talk
Can't take it back
If I stay silent
I've said too much!
Did you read the line..?
I DON'T WANNA TALK!
I'm loathed to speak
If I stay silent
My silence speaks!
I've said too much
Revealed too much
Can't pull it back
Without some tact
Do you see these lines
All squished together?
Don't wanna talk
Makes it better!
I don't wanna talk
Can't take it back
If I stay silent
I've said too much!
Did you read the line..?
I DON'T WANNA TALK!

Abinger Hammer
My heart belongs in Abinger Hammer -
You know, that cute little sleepy village,
That sits deep in the heart of the Surrey Hills -
The so-called stockbroker belt!
Living somewhere like Abinger,
Means you've made it somehow!
Pronounced Ab-BIN-JER, not Ab-BING-er,
I once thought, as an awkward 16 year old,
Spotty slow learning backwardly mobile
wiry haired retard!
You can tell I didn't like myself much then,
Can't you?
But I hate getting things wrong -
Possibly a symptom of my progressing OCD!
However,...

Limit On Love
Don't put a limit on love!
Hey! You give a lot of yourself away
When you state these words.
They make one want to dive in
Into the deep end,
Reassured they will never drown...
Only into your loving arms
That can only be a good thing, a safe thing.
May our love expand and grow
Like it's supposed to
Like you want it to.
Hold on tight, don't let go...
Believe!
Sometimes we feel too much
For those
Who feel nothing at all
But why should that change how we fall?
This love isn't for show! Let...

The Rising...
Easter is a fabulous time of year
Spring is in the air
Sun shines bright
Flowers bloom
It's feeling fresh
But something isn't right
For someone is dying, lying on a cross
He is in hell and no one can help
He is carrying the burden
The weight of our sins
But with death comes life
A sense of beginning
Renewal
Salvation
Starting over
The best part of Easter is...
Knowing he has risen
Born again
A man you can't put down
After your resurrection
You reigned for forty days - ...

These Dreams...
In this dream, we are together,
Inside a naff café -
Chatting over coffee...
Smiling.
Ok, maybe I still desire the special grill but hey,
Don't be distracted -
It'll help me concentrate;
Not that I need to, because,
I have examined each cute dimple,
Hook, line and sinker, that exist,
On your pretty little face.
I love your story too...
In fact, I wanna learn so much more!
You are perfectly imperfect with all your flaws;
Without them, you are NOT you, rather,
A cheap imitation -
And who needs that,...

Arianelle
Arianelle, where have you gone?
As quickly as you came,
You have upped sticks and vanished.
Who is going to light my mornings now,
Who is going to fill the void?
You were a breath of fresh air,
Young, natural and distractively pretty,
Able to stop traffic in its tracks -
Intelligent with the world at your feet,
Oh and a good poet too, whoops! My bad.
What on Earth has happened to you, this brief flourish -
Was someone upsetting you?
Maybe you have found somewhere better to go,

No Time For Regret!
No time for regret that belongs to yesterday.
We cannot change what's been and gone -
So why waste the energy?
What can't be fixed might drive us crazy,
And life's too short for that!
Let's embrace it, come what may -
Celebrate a brand new day,
YOUR WAY!
A future unknown.
Haha! I'm the last person to revel in the unknown -
Anyway, it sounded good!
But hey, there is some merit in it -
Feeling excited about what's to come,
While now is simply an unwritten book.
It's easy to get bogged down fearing...

In The Shadows...
I come to you only in whispers,
In shadows,
Once everyone has left the show -
Where chairs lay upon tables.
Only when the moon is glowing,
Am I showing -
Myself to you...
Allowing you in -
Where secrets hide.
In shadows,
Once everyone has left the show -
Where chairs lay upon tables.

BILLY - THE REVOLUTIONIST!
I feel like a revolutionist today, folks!
Armed & ready to fight prejudice -
With my words!
I had a dose of it last night.
Was told I was not welcome at a certain wine bar,
Situated here, near where I live.
Was told to watch my back -
Just because I'm English!
I only went along for the Karaoke...
Unfortunately,
The guy never saw the person behind the mask -
Never gave him a chance!
After all, I could've been the English guy,
Who fought to save his daughter's life,
The surgeon; instead, fighting...

You
Reassuring and safe,
I like how I can come to you -
Knowing you will never judge.
Of course you'll express your view.
But everyone follows their own path,
However stupid, however smart.
Understanding, it's what you do!
I turn to you when I feel stuck,
Cos you always have the answer -
Like someone's beautiful mama would.
You hate that expression,
But I find you endearing.
Showed my own mom your image last night -
Asked her what she thought...
'She's nice, Billy,' she said,
Despite knowing nothing...
