In the realm where transient souls entwine,
Heartfelt strides, messages divine.
Though fleeting, your presence stirs my soul,
In the universe's decree, we find our role.
With threads delicate, a tapestry we weave,
Our encounter, a tale that yearns to cleave.
A celestial sigh, a moment soaring high,
Our spirits ascend, touching the sky.
Even if your stay is but a fleeting glance,
I embrace the gift of your soul's graceful dance.
The universe, a gracious host of fate,
Intertwines our souls, side by side, they await.
Oh, transient soul, your grace profound,
In this fleeting connection, joy knows no bound.
For depth resides not in length's measure,
But in precious moments, our souls treasure.
The joy we share, the memories we mold,
In this transient encounter, never to grow old.
Within life's grand scheme, a mosaic's gleam,
Your soul's visitation, a cherished dream.
In this cosmic dance, our spirits entwined,
Leaving footprints of love, moments divined.
For the universe's orchestration, I'm grateful, indeed,
Your soul graced mine, in this beautiful creed.
As you venture beyond my sight's domain,
Know your warmth remains, in the darkest terrain.
Even if you're not here for a prolonged stay,
I'm grateful the universe let your soul sway.
Farewell, dear soul, on your onward quest,
May blessings adorn your path, from east to west.
Though we part with a bittersweet sigh,
I'll treasure forever when our souls did fly.
For even if you're not here to always reside,
I'm grateful the universe allowed your soul to stride.
In this vast cosmic landscape, you'll forever be,
A cherished memory, etched in eternity.
HEED THE CALL
In a dream that I dreamt last night
A message received was meant for real
It was difficult and painful to accept
Even as I laid there in bed and slept
Now as dawn is breaking I can reveal
I am summoned and must go to fight
We always knew the war grew near
My orders came from an unreal source
I must leave today and hope to return
But my love for you will always burn
And all battles must run their course
It’s not just you who will shed a tear
Perhaps it’s loyalty, or maybe duty
Even the passion for a rightful cause
But words softly spoken, were clear
That voice in my dream was sincere
Yet even now it still gives me pause
I’ll keep safe the image of your beauty
It was if I heard my own voice say
Follow the orders, and quickly pack
The message also had a second part
To share it now just breaks my heart
That understanding I won’t be back
Sadly, I bid farewell but must obey
Just when I thought I had it all sorted out
You came around and now I'm full of doubt
I didn’t think to see you again
Would have the same affect it had back then
But once again I was wrong
How could I have known after all it's been so long
Never knew these feelings I held inside
It almost felt like the first time
I tried to convince myself I no longer cared
But the love you and I once shared
Was stronger than anything I'd ever felt before
And I guess my heart is still a little sore
So seeing you with someone new
Though I thought it was something I could do
Turned out to be a little harder than I thought it would be
Then again once upon a time you meant everything to me
You would think I wouldn’t be so surprised
But I guess after trying to feed myself all those lies
I was beginning to believe they just might be true
But standing face to face with you
Wasn't what I pictured in my mind
It's got me in a bit of a bind
Wishing I could just erase you from my past
And all the memories that didn't last
Maybe then I could just let it all go
After all you're no longer someone I know
Even after everything we went thru
The man I now see in you
That man is nothing more than a stranger to me
And I wish I could pretend and let it all be
But something somewhere deep inside
A part of me won't buy into those lies
A part of me remembers the man you used to be
The man who was once in love with me
That man has long since disappeared
And seeing you now is just a little weird
It may not seem like a big deal to you
And though I know you don't think this way too
There are some things I may never understand
Perhaps I'm living in my own little dreamland
But I just can't pretend you never meant anything to me
Even if we were never meant to be
You and I have history
Anyone can see, it's no mystery
I know that may not mean much of anything to you
And I'm okay with that too
I just haven't found my own way
But maybe one day
I'll be able to do what you do
And pretend I was never in love with you!
Flirting with oppositional screams
As I grip the reins of a strangled soul
Is not as simple to me as life or death
Moments that are only memories flickering
Like a candle that is burning out
eventually the wick will be spent
The last lick of the flame is what will
Recapture the spirit within these windows
Shining through the cracks
Of this numb body shines a sober
Happiness with a glass shattering
World's away difference
Resiliency riding by my side
Is strength that I own with pride
Flying overhead towards the answers
As if I were jumping onto a moving train
My heart thumps nervously accepting
The truth will not always be what I want
Making up my mind and sticking to it
Is the one peak I climb to reach with gusto
I am Just
Trying to Find the truth,
They say I Love You.
And I am not here to fight it
But I don't want it to be True.
Last couple of months
were really sad,
I try to remember
What for was I that Mad
Because honestly,
I count you in my best parts
Maybe I wouldn't mind
if you come back.
As it's Night time
I would hear you laugh,
I was soo Happy.
Caught up in days
I had you Where it was needed.
While You let me Be
My heartbeats freeze;
And I couldn't reach,
To a place where I could make you feel.
My heartbreak in silence
And you seem a little busy,
I belong to you
And you are not with Me.
But there's a story I listen to
What's gone out can never be true,
Don't let them say twice
That they don't want You.
So I am just trying
To find the truth,
They say I Love You.
And I am not here to fight it
But I don't want it to be true.
Say please
You miss me
Am I the only
Who is broken This Bad.
Recovery pains me
Tell me How I Can?
I am sure I was in love
I held you with all I got,
I will stay night long
As we are used to,
Waiting for a breakthrough.
I am staying
In Ruins,
Fighting is Scary,
I just keep trying to find you.
And they say
I Love you
And I am not here to fight it,
As much as it pains
As long as I stay,
I know what you will feel like.
And I am just
Trying to find the truth
Of how much it will cost me
Before I keep Me above You.
Smooth roll down my throat through my temple
Seriously scent of grapes roams to my nose
Pink Moscato nights kept me with rose colored glasses
Settling for less looking for validation outside myself
Tall plastic wine glass melted as you lit my world on fire
Old wine; long nights passion lustful nights
Left broken stuck in confusion with the wonders
Old wine left my soul feeling used up as you fled away
Bring Cristal into my world she my new wine
High class standards set high can’t be mixed,
Mixed with old wine
Pop that bottle let’s celebrate
New wine new blessings
Everyone can’t go everyone can’t drink your new wine
Chilled on ice as life’s changing
Cristal feels fresh and free going through my body
Leaves me with no headaches nor sorrows
Thank you new wine goodbye old wine
Bubbly as you twirl around my tall wine glass
New wine no old wine please...
She had a masters degree,
from Trinity Cambridge,
was brokering deals in the city,
with overheard talk re. financial leverage.
Whilst I’d a diploma
from a,
“technical” college.
A photographic memory,
from heart she could recite,
the Shakespeare plays and
the complete periodic table,
and her port and whisky bottles had their own silver labels.
A no mortgage flat, Persian cat and a cleaner,
a holiday retreat on some remote Welsh peninsula.
but despite,
the disparity in background and mental capacity,
we clicked and hooked up and for a while,
lived,
quite lustfullly.
To survive, comfortably,
in her social circles,
I needed to eliminate some of the hurdles.
The barriers that doubtless would have stifled,
my chance of becoming,
economically entitled.
A list was produced, and included employment and personal grooming,
but my care free attitude,
Is what attracted her,
I imagined,
what she found appealing.
But lust is short term and knowing,
knowledge is power I began reading her own books and with time on my hands spent hour upon hour.
I read 1984, so not to be a bore,
at her parties.
I read to Kill a Mockingbird, so I would be heard,
at her parties.
I read The Great Gatsby, because I had to be,
at her parties.
I read Death of a Salesman,
to be life and soul,
at her parties.
I read Great Expectations, to get
me out of situations,
at her parties.
I read The Grapes of Wrath, so they wouldn’t laugh,
at her parties.
I read Pride and Prejudice, to stop them extracting the piss,
at her parties.
I read Catcher in the Rye, so I could look people in the eye,
at her parties.
I read The adventures of Huckleberry Finn, just to fit in,
at her parties.
I read book after book,
but no one gave a flying f*** , about me,
at her parties.
Ironically after reading Gullivers travels,
almost as I closed the cover,
she told me to pack my bags.
It was all over.
I went up North,
got a job,
on a three month trial,
Coincidentally, as a trainee librarian,
at a private school,
near Carlisle.
The acceptance photograph displaying the Chancellor’s handshake,
new wife,village life
and my f*** you smile,
and a perfectly groomed new hair style.
We were once madly in love,
Young hearts caught in reckless fire.
Then I told you the dump truck joke—
A laugh, then silence,And slowly, I walked away.
I chased shadows in skirts,
Mistook freedom for fulfillment,
But birthdays came, and so did my wishes—
Simple texts, silent prayers,
A whisper from the past to say: I remember.
You found Malcolm.
I watched from the sidelines,
Respectful, but aching.
Then years slipped like sand,
And again, I reached out?
As my own love story unraveled.
But Darren was there—
A wall I dared not climb.
So I stepped back,
Yet still, every January,
I typed your name?
And sent another candle on a digital cake.
Then Darlene died.
My world fractured like ice beneath weight,
Darkness crept in corners I once called home.
And just when the night felt endless—
You.
A message.
A lifeline from the woman
I never quite stopped loving.
We met, we laughed, we rebuilt—
Brick by careful brick,
A bridge across all we’d lost.
Love bloomed again.
I tasted happiness?
With the kind of wonder only age can give.
But time—
It plays cruel tricks.
In the blink of an eye, the romance faded.
Not with fury.
Not with fire.
But with quiet resignation.
It wasn’t meant to be.
Still, you’re here—
A friend, a tether,
Proof that some bonds don’t shatter,
Even when love slips through the cracks.
And though the dump truck joke
Broke us once,
Your laughter still echoes
In the heart I never gave away.

They say
you value only what you lose.
They say Africa is poor.
I say
Africa is gold.
Here lives Ubuntu.
“I am because we are.”
And because we are,
I live.
The land gives freely.
Food grows without begging.
The earth is warm.
Even sleep is kind.
It is as if
God lingered longer here.
As if creation paused
and smiled.
There were no street children.
No hunger of the soul.
Until strangers arrived
with maps and hunger.
In Europe,
every man is alone.
In Africa,
everyone belongs.
Our poverty is not soil.
Not resources.
It is the captivity
of the mind.
Africa, listen.
Your greatest enemy
is not Europe.
It is forgetfulness
within yourself.
They endure many winters.
You live in endless summer.
And heaven has always preferred
the sun.
They dream of you.
They long to stay.
While you flee
your own miracle.
Think twice, Africa.
Gold that abandons itself
becomes dust.
It can't be over
You say you can't trust me,
that, suddenly I've changed
what gives you that impression?
it's you that's acting strange!
You know I've always loved you,
more than anyone can
you've been my one and only
and I am still your man
Chorus
I can see you're on your way,
slipping...away from me
starting your new life...
and I'm not in your plans
you really took me by surprise
whatever happened to forever?
It can't be over,
cause I just don't understand.
Why can't you believe me,
there's no one else but you,
I guess, you never knew me
if you think I could betray you!
We've lived our life in stages,
beat the drama, beat it all,
I can see you've won best actress
it's our love's final curtain call
Chorus
I can see you're on your way,
slipping...away from me
starting your new life...
and I'm not in your plans
you really took me by surprise...
whatever happened to forever?
It can't be over,
cause I just don't understand.
There's a war inside you,
I can see it in your eyes
I love you more than ever,
is this how our love dies?
You must fight your delusion,
that leaving is your fate,
I pray, that you'll believe me,
and come back... before it's too late.
Chorus
I can see you're on your way,
slipping...away from me
starting your new life...
and I'm not in your plans
you really took me by surprise...
whatever happened to forever?
It can't be over,
cause I just don't understand.
Repeat chorus
fade to zero
