My Sainted Aunt
It’s rare to reflect on the life that we live,
Much simpler... stay busy, feel love, take and give,
But in time of passing the mundane stands still,
We see things more clearly, for good or for ill,
And how we’ll be judged, what we leave in our trace,
Is starkly compared with a soul of such grace.
Since I lack the words or poetical power
To fully describe such a delicate flower
May I please hark back to the life she had led
And share this strange dream from my poor troubled head.
Her links to the water come first to my mind, ...
Much simpler... stay busy, feel love, take and give,
But in time of passing the mundane stands still,
We see things more clearly, for good or for ill,
And how we’ll be judged, what we leave in our trace,
Is starkly compared with a soul of such grace.
Since I lack the words or poetical power
To fully describe such a delicate flower
May I please hark back to the life she had led
And share this strange dream from my poor troubled head.
Her links to the water come first to my mind, ...

Face the bass
I’m here to make a mix for DJ Lix
And share the craic with our buddy Deepak.
Divine dreams, bursting at the seams,
Your lives were much too big to even fit on Imax screens.
Face the bass, your music flew to outer space,
Our shared imaginings leaving diamonds in their trace.
Mr sweet and mild, your music huge and wild,
Your beaming love shone out through shining eyes like a child.
Divine dreams, bursting at the seams,
Your lives were much too big, just to fit into one team.
Working with wood, the natural world you understood,
The grain you...
And share the craic with our buddy Deepak.
Divine dreams, bursting at the seams,
Your lives were much too big to even fit on Imax screens.
Face the bass, your music flew to outer space,
Our shared imaginings leaving diamonds in their trace.
Mr sweet and mild, your music huge and wild,
Your beaming love shone out through shining eyes like a child.
Divine dreams, bursting at the seams,
Your lives were much too big, just to fit into one team.
Working with wood, the natural world you understood,
The grain you...

Strong females
We are vouchsafed this life for a reason,
But the purpose will never be clear,
The reason we’re blessed so
Is masked from the get go
Though glimpses will often appear.
Mares are put here for a purpose,
Their strength has a huge part to play,
But it’s not just their station
Of regeneration
That drives them to act in this way.
Consider in this Greta Thunberg,
Who’s coming to Bristol right now,
She speaks with such passion
And strength , not for fashion
But since it’s her furrow to plough.
Your mare...
But the purpose will never be clear,
The reason we’re blessed so
Is masked from the get go
Though glimpses will often appear.
Mares are put here for a purpose,
Their strength has a huge part to play,
But it’s not just their station
Of regeneration
That drives them to act in this way.
Consider in this Greta Thunberg,
Who’s coming to Bristol right now,
She speaks with such passion
And strength , not for fashion
But since it’s her furrow to plough.
Your mare...

This is real
Like how I laugh so much your face bursts with surprise,
Like how you need to brush the hair back from your eyes,
Like how there’s no way I could tell you any lies,
This is real, this is real, this is real.
Like how you sit real close and snuggle into me,
Like how you let me put my hand upon your knee,
Like how you said you’d love another cup of tea,
This is real, this is real, this is real.
Like how I feel so much more calm when you are near,
Like how the morning thought of you brings on a tear,
Like how this song’s for you but I...
Like how you need to brush the hair back from your eyes,
Like how there’s no way I could tell you any lies,
This is real, this is real, this is real.
Like how you sit real close and snuggle into me,
Like how you let me put my hand upon your knee,
Like how you said you’d love another cup of tea,
This is real, this is real, this is real.
Like how I feel so much more calm when you are near,
Like how the morning thought of you brings on a tear,
Like how this song’s for you but I...

Life?
Life is a little like a hyperactive spaniel,
She trusts herself into our care with no instruction manual,
She runs around us in small circles, keeps us on our feet,
She’ s always setting deadlines that we really have to meet,
But when the day is done, we’ve got through all the fuss and fuddle,
She’ll jump up on our lap and share with us a massive cuddle!
She trusts herself into our care with no instruction manual,
She runs around us in small circles, keeps us on our feet,
She’ s always setting deadlines that we really have to meet,
But when the day is done, we’ve got through all the fuss and fuddle,
She’ll jump up on our lap and share with us a massive cuddle!

Safe in the Starlight Gaze
Safe in the starlight gaze,
There you lie,
Clear through the sunlight glades,
I saw you fly,
Heaven has taken one more to it’s breast
Why must it leave us here, and take the best?
Heaven help you as you go your way,
Why could you not be allowed to stay?
Circles completed you climbed your peak,
Helped to the light by the son you seek,
Mountains were moved while you’re on this world,
Now planting forests, your shoots unfurl,
You swam through this world with the subtlest grace,
Close friends all one...
There you lie,
Clear through the sunlight glades,
I saw you fly,
Heaven has taken one more to it’s breast
Why must it leave us here, and take the best?
Heaven help you as you go your way,

Circles completed you climbed your peak,
Helped to the light by the son you seek,
Mountains were moved while you’re on this world,
Now planting forests, your shoots unfurl,
You swam through this world with the subtlest grace,

Ellie get your gun
Ellie shot me in the heart,
Shot me with a tranquilliser dart,
Said she aimed straight for my head,
Got me in the heart instead,
Least she got me in the heart,
Could have been a softer part.
Ellie’s gone and got her gun,
She made it clear my time had come,
No second chance , no last reprieve,
I’ll take my dues, no need to grieve,
Standing tall, won’t close my eyes,
I need to see the bullets fly.
Ellie’s gone and got her gun,
She’s shot me now and had her fun,
Bullets went through clean and clear,
Weirdest...
Shot me with a tranquilliser dart,
Said she aimed straight for my head,
Got me in the heart instead,
Least she got me in the heart,
Could have been a softer part.
Ellie’s gone and got her gun,
She made it clear my time had come,
No second chance , no last reprieve,
I’ll take my dues, no need to grieve,

She’s shot me now and had her fun,
Bullets went through clean and clear,

Cowgirl
She leans on the five-bar and calls out his name,
His ears flicker forward , he tosses his mane,
She smile as she sees how his dappled coat gleams,
Through long years of waiting , the horse of her dreams.
He fidgets and neighs as she tightens the girth,
He's keen to get going, he paws at the earth,
It's just a stock round-up she's saddled him for,
What's with all the fuss, does he know something more ?
Once on the prairie she loosens the reins,
There's no one in sight on these wide open plains,
His canter is joyous, he loves how she rides, ...
His ears flicker forward , he tosses his mane,
She smile as she sees how his dappled coat gleams,
Through long years of waiting , the horse of her dreams.
He fidgets and neighs as she tightens the girth,
He's keen to get going, he paws at the earth,
It's just a stock round-up she's saddled him for,
What's with all the fuss, does he know something more ?
Once on the prairie she loosens the reins,
There's no one in sight on these wide open plains,
His canter is joyous, he loves how she rides, ...

Running girl
As rhythmic as the break of day
The brown eyed girl runs clean away
Pounding pavements in her mind
She now can leave her cares behind
Fabletics on her muscled form
For eating up the miles she’s born
Now upon the open road
She gently casts off all her load
She feels the wind upon her cheeks
Enjoys the freedom that she seeks
Free to choose which way to go
No one there to tell her no
She sets off on a different track
Not knowing if it takes her back
Or forwards , as soon as she leaves the safe path
The trees now...
The brown eyed girl runs clean away
Pounding pavements in her mind
She now can leave her cares behind
Fabletics on her muscled form
For eating up the miles she’s born
Now upon the open road
She gently casts off all her load
She feels the wind upon her cheeks
Enjoys the freedom that she seeks
Free to choose which way to go
No one there to tell her no
She sets off on a different track
Not knowing if it takes her back
Or forwards , as soon as she leaves the safe path
The trees now...

Honey
There is a sweetness stored in the centre of the hive
that a man may crave to ensure he stays alive
as he delves down deep to explore the way within
he must risk the stinging of the bees all over him
Honey, I need your honey, I need to suck it squeeze it lick it tease it, honey
for that sweetness a man will go to endless lengths
he will demonstrate his mastery, employ all his strengths
he will hold the hive so tight as he gently slides inside
he will flow and surge right in and out as high as the tide
honey, give me your honey, I need to...
that a man may crave to ensure he stays alive
as he delves down deep to explore the way within

Honey, I need your honey, I need to suck it squeeze it lick it tease it, honey

he will demonstrate his mastery, employ all his strengths
he will hold the hive so tight as he gently slides inside
he will flow and surge right in and out as high as the tide
honey, give me your honey, I need to...

Release your stresses
It’s a dark stormy night and you’re cuddled up tight with the rain beating down now just turn off the light pull the throw to your chin make a tent and within in your freedom just gently strip down to the skin so you’re lying there bare take the clip from your hair shake your head and release all those tresses so fair now it’s just you alone snuggled up on your throne with the throw to your chin in the skin that you own you can wiggle and wind your impatient behind on the sofa’s soft pile as you set in your mind a hot vision of he who is down on one knee just a towel round his waist as he’s...
