Twilight

'Twilight'

The sky grew dark,
The light grew dim,
And only stars could see
The world turned blue,
With twilight hue
Around the lonely tree.

The water stair
Flowed without care
As silence hurt the night.
Knowing by day
The world would awake,
And be restored by light.

Evasion

Sweet moon, fail now to dog my steps
As I blunder in darkness,
Stumble and stagger,
Weaving your light blinds me to madness.

Let your rays fall onto oceans and deserts,
Forests of treetops,
Fields of long grasses,
Not on the road that I must now travel.

Bring me the shadows that I know as home,
Candles and muses,
Paintings and incense
Light should not follow me as I roam.


Next time I won't drink the cab fare....

Sorrowful Heart

Sorrow broke the savage heart,
For denied was it to thee,
And rage was caught all unawares,
Within a dying sea.
Mirth could not give it succour,
Nor pity mend the jagged tears,
And nor could the stars of darkened night
Bewitch to light the hopeless stares.

No breath of wind could move the weight,
No blow could break its hold,
And stillness rocked the heart to sleep,
And dreams of bitter cold.

One day I'll find my hairdryer again....

Beyond Time

Broken words lay scattered on the floor,
Shards of glass from the clock
Lay weeping by the door.
I opened the gate and swept all bare,
For there was no way out
With all that lying there.
Rain came and washed away the night.
I slept with heavy heart
Yet awoke with no regret.

A fresh page, unending lines,
This time the poem is all mine.
No hour leaves my sight again,
No minute wasted by the pen.
The book I write has truth for its spine
Bound and tempered beyond time,
And I shall rest here in its pages,
Without the sorrow of the ages.

Past and present are within.
Only the future begins again.

My Wave

It's a big ocean.
As my wave carries me out to sea,
Away from the shore,
Away into the biggest blue,
I can hear the world turn to water.
Nothing but the restless tide,
Flowing in, flowing out.
Here, I am alone.
Without doubt or fear,
Without false hope or
Broken dreams.
Waves crest and roll around me,
Yet the wave I ride is my own.
Ebb and flow, I roll on with the ocean,
No need to remember,
No fear to lose again,
For here, I am as the water;
Timeless.

For home is where the heart is.

I Need You

Close to me.
So close that I will know you.
Cover me.
I want to know a world inside of you.
Surround me.
That the infinite around me is of you.
Talk to me.
So the voice inside my mind is you.
Believe me.
I need you because I love all that is you.

I love thunderstorms.

I Promise....

Fear not, I am here beside you
Ever faithful, ever loyal,
I shall abide here by you,
And keep my heart for you.
Keep your freedom and its echoes,
As you delve into your sorrows,
For the day you find tomorrow,
You will find the limits you love.

Keep forever walking
On the roads that will not find you,
Let your loneliness remind you
What you yourself forsook.
Let the past become your leader
For it is all you ever trusted,
When you're broken, bent and rusted,
Look around you, I'll be there....

Right after I tour Europe...

Remorse for My Loss

Pain, enduring heartache,
For that which was loved, is still loved
Is lost.
Memories and burdens of the past
Mingle in tears shed
Raining down on fragments and shards
Of my beloved,
A passion-filled bond, a union without measure
And in a moment, all has been broken.
Guilt strikes me like a blow,
And all that I revered
Now lies shattered at my feet.
In a time of complacency,
I broke faith with my love.
Where once my lips were touched
With a blessing, a scent that inflamed me,
All is now derision and blame,
All is now pieces and shame,
All is now ended.



And it was my favourite colour lipstick too...
