My Old Bag - Dark Humour
I lay my dearest Susan down to rest
Of tall tales and humour she was the best
An excuse each night
Wouldn't hold me tight
There's something I need to get off my chest
See, Susan was a talented old hag
Three men at once she quite often would shag
The gents often told
Of her lips of gold
and the tricks hidden deep inside her bag
I put up with her, turned the other cheek
She was built of strength, I a man so weak
Shame filtered these eyes
She laughed at my cries
Til they found her in the bag by the creek

The Supple Smile Of You
I have seen many a moon come and go
from harvest to winter back to another new
her glows have brought comfort and warmth
watching her dances across a faithful sky
Once barren cherry trees now blossoms
busy honey bees bond with her beauty
a red robin sings along in a sweet harmony
as the springtime winds scatter her soft petals
Looking out to the green rolling hills in distance
where we used to frolic and dance abound
a young couple is holding hands and searching
for a perfect spot to lay amongst the wildflowers
...

Take Me Home
Sweet melodies serenade my mind away
Times were simple and your smile was sweet
Nighttime flashes cross the height of my heart
As your echos hum along to our once true love
Ambient light flickers in the bare of my soul
And this vision is of two, that were meant to be
Life's pull grabbed hold and then we were lost
But these feelings I hold for you remain steadfast
Here I wait, dancing alone in my dreams
For the day you come and take me home
Times were simple and your smile was sweet
Nighttime flashes cross the height of my heart
As your echos hum along to our once true love
Ambient light flickers in the bare of my soul
And this vision is of two, that were meant to be
Life's pull grabbed hold and then we were lost
But these feelings I hold for you remain steadfast
Here I wait, dancing alone in my dreams
For the day you come and take me home

Float Away On Butterfly Wings
Float away with me on butterfly wings
drift through days of never ending dreams
embrace me with your enchanting eyes
surround me with soft symphonic hymns
and paint red my heavenly skies
Come play in my fountain of youth
fill my days with your sensuous smiles
make me to melt into the words you utter
fill my nights with your passionate styles
so my heart will dance and flutter
Float away with me on butterfly wings
drift through days of never ending dreams
lift my spirits up past the mountain tops
to a land of peaches...
drift through days of never ending dreams
embrace me with your enchanting eyes
surround me with soft symphonic hymns
and paint red my heavenly skies
Come play in my fountain of youth
fill my days with your sensuous smiles
make me to melt into the words you utter
fill my nights with your passionate styles
so my heart will dance and flutter
Float away with me on butterfly wings
drift through days of never ending dreams
lift my spirits up past the mountain tops

The Last Bell Tolls
Misty eyed and weary over the gallows I blow
daunting a mere string in tow
last school bells rung
but the hallowed halls still call
Scuff marks mark my sentence
tough times as seconds rolled on
pure white first day memories
ditched where murky waters flow
puddles and mud stained canvas
darkness haunts to this very day
locked away silent weekends
my tongue cinched up and ready to pay
Used and abused
a fresh life awaits
up high I fly
daunting a mere string in tow
last school bells rung
but the hallowed halls still call
Scuff marks mark my sentence
tough times as seconds rolled on
pure white first day memories
ditched where murky waters flow
puddles and mud stained canvas
darkness haunts to this very day
locked away silent weekends
my tongue cinched up and ready to pay
Used and abused
a fresh life awaits
up high I fly

The Fieldfare
Down by the old buckthorn bush
where grey fieldfare come to nest
grasses grow and warm winds blow
and I lay my weary head to rest
Out there near the seashore
where the tide has come to call
I wonder if you're watching
past the prison of your walls
As I soak up all the flavors
of the fragrance in the air
I close my eyes and ponder
if you would ever reappear
But time tics on by so quickly
those moments turn into years
I look out among the currents
alone with fieldfare and my tears
where grey fieldfare come to nest
grasses grow and warm winds blow
and I lay my weary head to rest
Out there near the seashore
where the tide has come to call
I wonder if you're watching
past the prison of your walls
As I soak up all the flavors
of the fragrance in the air
I close my eyes and ponder
if you would ever reappear
But time tics on by so quickly
those moments turn into years
I look out among the currents
alone with fieldfare and my tears

Emotions Of My Soul
The emotions of my soul remain
in memories capsuled in time
From that very first moment
on a pure-white winter's day
A fallen stardust scattered
from birth-silk sky upon
moon-kissed shores
Showering peasant nights
and hope-filled dreams
with a heart holding manna
so supple and clean.
Destiny drew her a map to
forgotten footprints in the sand
where campfires kept
cold fingers and hearts warm
That's where she sparkled
That's where she shined
drifting ever deeper

Getting Old
A ring of slipped faults split the bed
waiting to answer voices in my head
cold breezes and cold shoulders
nights like this are getting old
not a warm spot left to hold
Love letters read in the light of day
tears spilt washing it all away
cold breezes and cold shoulders
extinguished embers spark lie low
even your soul has a frosted glow
The looks are of only Jimmy Choo
no longer longing to run after you
cold breezes and cold shoulders
distanced dreams dissipate a rising star
wishes eluding ever wonder who we are
waiting to answer voices in my head
cold breezes and cold shoulders
nights like this are getting old
not a warm spot left to hold
Love letters read in the light of day
tears spilt washing it all away
cold breezes and cold shoulders
extinguished embers spark lie low
even your soul has a frosted glow
The looks are of only Jimmy Choo
no longer longing to run after you
cold breezes and cold shoulders
distanced dreams dissipate a rising star
wishes eluding ever wonder who we are

Last Beat Of A Homeless Heart
A cool breeze whips and the Fahrenheit dips
a night lost on a lonesome road
reaching out to those in need
attempting to spark
the last beat of a homeless heart
Preachers preached some souls were reached
love was everywhere to be found
to give.. to keep
to sow.. to reap
but in private you couldn't hear a sound
hearts live to love but how long can they live
in a world full of take and no give
loyal eyes they no longer cry
and a heartbeat slows as time...

When Darkness Descends
Where a deep raspy breeze fills the air
and a hard winter's rain appears
take cover in this velvet nest
until the disturbance comes to rest
softly blow out the candles
crawl down into the recesses of the dark
climb amongst the hollows of my holy sanctity
where together we can be as one
I'll leave light kisses and a reassurance
that tomorrow the rise of the sun will be made
filled with love and heartfelt adoration
with an affirmation our glow will never fade
Be my vestige and I will be your light
Gentle beats of heaven holding...

Afraid To Be - Ode To Emily
The day does go --
but I do not
The west wind blows
and I am still
I'm free to fly
but I just watch
Thoughts of why
I know not
Afraid to be ---
in a world so rough
Afraid for you
is faith enough
A soul at peace
in world at war
Life drifts with ease
but what's in store
The sun will set
then we will see
A time for rest --
for you and me
but I do not
The west wind blows
and I am still
I'm free to fly
but I just watch
Thoughts of why
I know not
Afraid to be ---
in a world so rough
Afraid for you
is faith enough
A soul at peace
in world at war
Life drifts with ease
but what's in store
The sun will set
then we will see
A time for rest --
for you and me

Love Hate Relationship
Your beauty defies time
as you glide so effortlessly
across the boundless horizon
Breathless you capture my essence
and melt me from my frozen state
as the crackling embers spark nearby
My vision is blurred as if without end
crystal mounds begin to rise
and your effervescence illuminates the sky
Thoughts turn to a restless morning
where a painful path is purged
penetrating the virgin pure
If only these moments could survive
forever in child like eyes
life would be devine
as you glide so effortlessly
across the boundless horizon
Breathless you capture my essence
and melt me from my frozen state
as the crackling embers spark nearby
My vision is blurred as if without end
crystal mounds begin to rise
and your effervescence illuminates the sky
Thoughts turn to a restless morning
where a painful path is purged
penetrating the virgin pure
If only these moments could survive
forever in child like eyes
life would be devine
