The Grief I Feel is of Another KindThe grief I feel is of another kind
Sweeter than holy water
A deeper breath than moorland air to find
The black of midnight, not—
Of monstrous seas, but—
Of restful night, donated cloak
From a kindly gentleman to wear
Wrapped in coolest starlight, safe
Astride a destrier — galloping to water
Molted feather — fortuitously found
New flight, gentle wind...

It's Easy Talking, Easy Walking with You
We've had our shouts and share of aches
But inch by inch and side by side,
We learned to bend before it breaks,
To give a little, then a lot besides.
It’s easy talking, easy walking with you.
Like slippin' n sliding through the morning dew.
No need to run, no need to hide,
Just slow dancin', down by the riverside.
Every laugh,...

This Damn SongAll I want in this whole world is someone to love,
Someone to hold, to cherish, to dream of.
All I need is someone to comfort me—
To stand by my side, to help set me free.
Someone to talk to, to whisper things to,
Someone, my dear… someone like you.
Someone who'll love me, and I’ll love them back,
Someone who’s...

Ocean
I am a glass of water
he sees right through me
yet nothing to him is
crystal clear.
I thought he knew me
but all my depths are
shallow to him, I fear.
I drown
in my own feelings
gasping his name,
but he cannot hear
that it's him
I'm calling out for
all the same.
I ache from words
forced to stay unspoken
until the space between us
spans out of...

Reversed SignsIsn't it ironic?
You sat on my right side when we first met
And you exited my life making a left turn down my street
It was my right hand that comforted you in the beginning
And it was my left hand that tore off something that was supposed to be permanent in the end
How the directions changed...

In the MorningWhen I wake up in the morning
I continue to lie down
Over there a rain keeps falling
Sounds of cars hiss all around
Through the curtains morning’s better
Motionless I watch its glow
Rainy morning comes like letter
With no content worth to show
Morning headlines make me sad
Instant coffee turns me on
Off I go for wine and...

LostMy heart is lost in depth of woes,
While sorrows echo loud.
As tears descend with silent throes~
Beneath a veil of cloud.
In the dark I grope for my lost heart,
But it's slipped beyond my firm grip.
Each tear I shed softens its grave,
And deeper it sinks, out of reach.
My misery drums a hollow grief,
No hope of joy or...

I have lost theeI just want to hold you in my arms,
have you close to me.
I can't look back knowing you'll be missing— a pain I cannot bear.
I want to look ahead,
and find you standing, waiting there...
But there comes a time where a bird must fly,
and...

How long must he wait?How perversely exciting it used to be, in
the months after you made your decision
to abandon this hopeless situation
meaning [rueful laughter] the UK, not so much
the shattered bones of you and me
I was still hanging on, a faithful puppy
getting up early and heading out to Heathrow
to provide the welcome committee
and then I went straight to work?...

Here we are, how I wish we weren'tThis timid heart a 200bpm rabbit
not like that you vulgarian
like a frightened excitable permanently pulsating
come on
mammal living some say existing
largely underground
afrightened and ascurvy
Riddled with the pestilence
of forgotten decades
and winters long gone
which laid down their stains
upon the landscape
frosted thistles and tree circles
yet all it takes is a kind word
Oh Mr Dickens
a mere sniff never mind a...

I Ruined UsI ruined what we had
With my mincing words misplaced,
Words that made you mad
With a feeling as though also disgraced.
I ruined what we were
With things in which we never concurred,
Things I was just unsure
Of whether it is my path that has occurred.
I ruined our bond
With feelings long suppressed,
Feelings as shallow as a pond,
In which I drowned...

when we were close !
Bell of adieu rang :
My feelings froze.
Pallid petals dropped.
in wilted rose.

showing the safest way,
I'd still walk through the dark
with just a match.
If that's the path that leads to,

Merry Old SoulThe old soul isn’t the same of King Cole’s
The old soul is the growing indifference
Past obediences turn to resistance
Which the merry old soul never shows
The old soul is a room of the old sorrows
A portrait gallery of the passed away
The old soul is a candle that burns night and day
The old soul doesn’t...
