I stood by a statue, alone on a beach
A picture was taken for a keep sake
That picture was used as a profile update
It was seen my a woman who wanted to meet
...

When the dark clouds, Bring the shadows to your day
Think of me

When the sun fails to shine and the rain falls
...

X

X means I love you, lots and lots.
X marks the spot,
...

An Ocean filled with children's tears
who's crashing waves muffles the cry s of a desperate mother
looking for salvation just beyond the seas horizon
...

Did your god cry for their loss my friend
Does your holy book preach peace or hate
Will you dry the tears of the lost loved ones
The blood on your hands colour's your soul my friend
...

She’s a petal on a frosted flower
A ray of winter sunshine
A twinkle in her parent’s eye, A missed beat of their hearts
A smile machine in the making , the apple of your eye
...

With her eyes of brown and her Farah Fawcett hair
And that smile, that is contagious
A heart of gold, and a gentle touch
She's my fairy tale princess
...

You give of your soul, your being everything that matters
Time, Thoughts, your waking hours , you learn her favourites
What she likes, you spent your time checking her treats out
Plans are made to please and make her smile
...

The Wish

I dance in the smoke, to a song that I wrote
I watch you pirouette like a girl on a box
...

The grass shimmers in the afternoon sun.

The gentle breeze blowing a thousand seed heads, Like tiny cobwebs across the sea of sky blue blue bells.
...

I woke up today or was it yesterday

I dress to leave like I did on tuesday or was it wednesday
...

We walked around the gardens.

We wandered through a wooded glade
...

You came in the night
Past the walls that I built
You painted me pictures of times that did'nt last
Trying to revive my memorys of our past
...

Your promises fall to the ground like autumn leaves.
They are like the drops in an ocean, Or the stars in the sky.
The crust on a pie so easily broken.
Your lips may move but the truth stays hidden away.
...

You need to fit the normal, You need to look the same.

Don't dare be yourself or forget to comb your hair
...

Is it the whiteness of your smile or the twinkle in your eye
The sound of your voice or the cut of your jib
the cloths you wear, or the things you share
that makes you so a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e
...

Im an old fashioned man, that says live and let live.
Im sure when I die the pearly gates will allow me to fit in.
I just hope god checks his records and says You lived and let live.
You did good deeds, spoke well, and helped people in need
...

Sailing Away

My tears created a stream of sorrow all the way to my heart.
It was a wild ride on rapids, fraught with pain.
...

In January England is a barren canvas cold to the touch
Febuary brings blankets of snow and ice and skeleton trees on the horizons
March begins the race to paint this fertile land of fable, green
April brings nature's palette alight with daffodils and bluebells
...

Im a wage slave, oh yes I am
I work from 8 till 5 until I drop
I pay my rent and feed a car
Fill my freezer and pay my way
...
