Ashes (part one)
I waited
Sitting on the bench outside
Finding one a respectful distance away
My walking stick between my knees
god my hands hurt with arthritis
I'm she would have joked about my ailments
I said I wanted to go first
No don't
Dam it you promised
keep it inside.
Always cold here
I know what she was talking about now
wet and cold
The cortege arrived
Coming to a slow stop
She tried to make light of her final voyage
Saying I should help carry her into church
Giving a speech
no one would understand...

Rodeo Rider
Her arrival was noted
written down
dressed to thrill
out on the town
Short skirt
Six inch heal
A beckoning smile
Virginity to steal
Heads would turn
and look her way
Some would follow
"What's the price" ill pay"!
A pause in her step
Smiling with delight
"For you anything baby"
"I'll ride you this very night"
She had cast out her line
He'd taken the hook
A virgin no more
Crossed off in her book
written down
dressed to thrill
out on the town
Short skirt
Six inch heal
A beckoning smile
Virginity to steal
Heads would turn
and look her way
Some would follow
"What's the price" ill pay"!
A pause in her step
Smiling with delight
"For you anything baby"
"I'll ride you this very night"
She had cast out her line
He'd taken the hook
A virgin no more
Crossed off in her book

February
I want you to know it seemed like yesterday
The day for lovers how apt.
I know where I was
Standing by the unrepaired bridge
And you on another continent.
Unbeknown to us, The day our lives changed
Intrigued by excitement and laughter.
A time to be happy
Happy times.
As hard as it is sometimes to fathom out
I believe things happen for a reason even now after all this time.
We didn't foresee the voyage would be so long
Or the sea at times so tempestuous and cruel.
I'm sure the ocean will twist and turn still
before we find...
The day for lovers how apt.
I know where I was
Standing by the unrepaired bridge
And you on another continent.
Unbeknown to us, The day our lives changed
Intrigued by excitement and laughter.
A time to be happy
Happy times.
As hard as it is sometimes to fathom out
I believe things happen for a reason even now after all this time.
We didn't foresee the voyage would be so long
Or the sea at times so tempestuous and cruel.
I'm sure the ocean will twist and turn still

The Search
To call off the search
To admit defeat
This I would do if it was deemed the correct and just thing to do
Our race would be over
To fight on would be unkind and cruel
I wouldn't have the emotional energy to keep picking myself or others off the floor.
I can't help how I feel.
Sometimes my emotions go into overdrive
Dragging down people who I care about deeply.
I want the search to continue with every fibre in my body.
I want the dreams to be a reality.
I want to fight for my beliefs like the fight I know you have inside.
When you can't go no...
To admit defeat
This I would do if it was deemed the correct and just thing to do
Our race would be over
To fight on would be unkind and cruel
I wouldn't have the emotional energy to keep picking myself or others off the floor.
I can't help how I feel.
Sometimes my emotions go into overdrive
Dragging down people who I care about deeply.
I want the search to continue with every fibre in my body.
I want the dreams to be a reality.
I want to fight for my beliefs like the fight I know you have inside.
When you can't go no...

Baptism of Life
Baptised in the stream of everlasting life
Laid out to dry on tranquil plains of slumbering peace
Demons betrayed by their insidious barking
Be gone ye demons of the night!
Bay for my blood no more!
For you will devour me not
I'm the light you run from
The good you despise
Take my form
my blood to spill upon the ground
For I will rise once more at your feasting and lay bare your souls
Commending you to the gates heaven
To be baptised in the stream of everlasting life
Amen
Laid out to dry on tranquil plains of slumbering peace
Demons betrayed by their insidious barking
Be gone ye demons of the night!
Bay for my blood no more!
For you will devour me not
I'm the light you run from
The good you despise
Take my form
my blood to spill upon the ground
For I will rise once more at your feasting and lay bare your souls
Commending you to the gates heaven
To be baptised in the stream of everlasting life
Amen

Believer
I want to be a believer
I want to stand before you and say i have faith
I want to read your lines once more
I want you to be my equal
I want to hear your idyllic voice again
I want to hold your hand and feel proud
I want it to be what will be
I want us to climb these mountains together
I want us to find the right path
I want us to find peace and happiness
I want you to feel what's in my heart
I want to us to create a place called home
I want to banish these sceptical demons
I want to say it'll be easy when i know it'll be difficult
I...

Taste
It's as if I could taste your stare;
what an exsquisite dish to endure.
A treasure trove discovered on textured tastebuds.
A primeval feast to devour.
A banquet in your honour.
To fall upon such eye's of beauty;
I fear I might never recover.

Time and Space
The days of walking away
shuffling to a halt.
Within this clearing some space required.
A tranquil time in this no mans land.
Dreams to evolve.
Adventures to kick start.
Fires to cool down.
Pathways to be reborn.
Candles unlit awaiting the spark.
Allaying fears.
Wiping away tears.
Dreaming together of better times.
Our souls entwined.
