A relationship
Of intimacy
My oldest and dearest friend
One on which I've always been able
...

I just can't handle this mind
This racing, speeding, erratic mind of mine
This black or white
Terrible or brilliant
...

Imagine if you will
For a short or long
Moment or two
The tale of
...

I meet with you in my dreams
But I can't work out what it means
A meeting so vivid
It seems almost real
...

A daily battle
A battle of nerves
Nerves, self-doubt and hate
...

Imagine if you will
For a wee short moment
Just one or two
What on this earth
...

Every night
About 1am without fail
Random thoughts enter my head
Keeping me led
...

Looking at photographs
From a time long ago
Staring at the printed image of myself
Unable to feel a connection
...

Every man
So it seems
Has his story
A personal recollection of history

Fear

Desirably vivid

No man
Wants to date a Yoko
O No, O No
No not a Yoka
...

Like a skydiver
Slipping over the threshold
Of the door
Free falling
...

Beginning
Big and small
Hot and cold
Chalk and cheese
...

Lay with me
One last time
Tomorrow
We both know
...

Summer holiday
Off to our island in the sea
A place of peace and beauty
And a fondness in the heart
...

Tide will wait
For no man
Or so it's often said
The lonely fisherman
...

Blackout central
I'm checking in again
How long for this time
A few hours
...

Footprints in the sand
The make their mark
In their own lifetime
Short lived
...

When a love affair ends
There will be a range of emotions
Loss
Grief
...
