You

Can you find a place where I can go
To be myself – where no-one knows
My name
A place that I can call my own
Far from here, my mind’s at home
So I – can think about you

Coz I – can’t get you off of my mind
Without you I’m blind
And nothing seems to matter
Everything that you say and you do
I haven’t got a clue
Inside I’m starting to shatter

With the lights turned low, just you and me
Our thoughts as one – but then maybe
I’m wrong – it’s easily done
I tell you what I’m all about
You smile, but there’s a sense of doubt
And now – I’m losing you

You go your way, I’ll go mine
We’re better apart, we’ll both be fine
That way – the way that you want it
Turn back the clock and I can see
It’s better to leave with dignity
And I – will get over you

Now I know that you can’t be mine
But I’ll still be fine
The way that I need to
Baby – you’ll never know how I feel
Coz this was so real
The way I feel for you

Acceptance of Alone

I noticed this weekend
You didn’t come round
Instead of us talking
I listened to the sound –
Of silence…..of silence

I sat here and waited
I sat on my own
I commiserated
But the illusion is blown
Now I accept it…..accept it

But now, the time has come –
To move on
Despite all the good, I know,
Deep down –
You’re not “the one”

And yes, I still sit here
I sit all alone
The future’s uncertain
But the seed is now sown
And I…..will go on

Last Collection

Lest We Forget

Not by choice, or polite request
But rather, at the country’s behest
Young and old, boys and men
Entered the field of conflict – again

A time forgotten, long ago
Old men wisened, remember it though
The pain, the tears, the grim bloodshed
So many lost, so many dead

Lost Soul

Last hug, last lingering kiss
Fingers entwined, then parting
Can’t believe I’m going through this
So the end is starting -
Right now

Treading a lonely pathway
And stumbling through my mind
Just can’t tell night from day
So lost, and struggling to find -
My heart

To heal, you just need time
That’s so often what is said
Teardrops drip, clocks chime
Emotions; fully bled
Thinking of you

And one fine day
I’ll tell you what it’s all about
You might not see it that way
But there’s no need to doubt -
That I love you

Mushrooms

Suburban Prairie Cat

Dead of night, outside for a smoke
Half cut, my senses are broke
But I see you; in the shadows

Black on black, blend to the dark
Streetlight catches, crouching shark
I see you, suburban prairie cat

Silhouette; gives you away
Prey lives, for another day
But I know, you’ll be back

Stub it out, I hold my head
The end is nigh, time for bed
We’ll meet again, tomorrow

Too Dark to See

If you can still smile at the world
When the world is not smiling at you
When dark smoke billows, and the clouds close in
The orchard of life is grey and barren
Time stands still, you must search from within

You’re approaching the crossroads
But the view is so hazy
There’s lack of direction, confusion sets in
No compass to guide you, no hand reaching for you
So follow your instincts, and your search will begin

With hands that are shaking, you grasp at the future
Difficult to grip, a story yet told
An unknown horizon, a new time is dawning
You look over your shoulder
Down the river you’re sold

Away from the chaos, the clutter, the madness
You return to the point, where no one else can find
The feelings, emotions, beliefs and your values
By closing your eyes, you have opened your mind

That Feeling

The sun shines brighter
The rain takes on a mystical, romantic quality
Your pulse quickens in anticipation
Yet you’re relaxed at the same time
But tense

Minutes seem like hours
And hours seem like days
But when you meet
Time disappears entirely

Surroundings blur
There’s just a single point of focus
Yet I can drift away in the sea of your eyes
While you whisper sweet nothings
About your day

Dreaming
Seeing it happen in your mind’s eye
Distracted from where I am
Because there’s a better place

As frustrating as it is lovely
It plays with your mind
It can make you sigh
Holding your head in your hands
While you search for the answer
