Carry youI carry you with me
Everywhere that I go.
In my eyes,
In my smile,
In the way I walk,
How I talk,
Even how I act and dress.
I am something of you merged,
Bits of what you were,
Pieces of what you are,
Snippets of what
..you could have been,
And as I continue,
I will become something of you never seen.
I carry...

The days pass, the weeks passCould we not at least exchange some crummy
anecdotes about our recent pasts
some poorly recalled bus stop or shop incidents
semi memories of there was this time when
I'll take any half digested subvocal passing thoughts
and an inappropriate and unvoiced yet sincerely held
opinion which you know is safe with me
Throw me a crumb here and I'll toss you

one dayMy mind is a raging storm
Of never ending thoughts
And constant 'what if's
That chase away dreams
And plague the mind.
Not a day goes by
That you are never there,
You've come to occupy the space
As though it were your own.
And through every tear,
Heartache and moment of pain,
Just know the day
I reach Heaven
If I am so allowed,
You...

JUXTAPOSEDJUXTAPOSED
Standing either side of a door that is closed
One might feel the other, just an inch away
As two hearts that appear to be juxtaposed
Just a whispered word, that the other might say
Would be enough, despite the obstructed view
Perhaps a touch must wait for another day
Feelings both felt and expressed, are ever true
Love permeates even the...

Missing YouHow do you process when all is a blur?
How can I take in the fact that you're no longer there?
Yesterday was normal. Well, as far as normal goes.
What will tomorrow bring? Nobody knows!
Not so long ago, I thought I knew my path ahead.
Now everything has changed and it has vanished instead!
I was a carer. My...

PREGNANT MEMORIESPREGNANT MEMORIES
The love we shortly shared,
Was as the sunlight of life,
Fueling and energizing souls
With unimaginable pleasure:-
We met, touched, and loved,
In that moment, we were one.
But as time faded, we melted,
Flowing away from each other:-
Now, in the quiet of night,
In the castle of my heart,
And in the temple of my mind,
Thoughts penetrate the distance:-
Indeed, each...

WITHOUT YOU-WITHOUT YOU
Without you it will be no Liberty;
Without you it will be no eyes;
Where I could see;
Without you it would be obscenities;
Without you there'll be no peace;
Without Elohim ;
there would be nothing;
Creator of all;
He's Almighty God;
All Father without there would be nothing

Your PerfumeWhen we parted at the airport you left a part of you behind,
Your scent Lingering still on my shirts, my clothes my hands.
I crushed them to my face and breathed you in, my eyes closed, remembering you.
You smelled like lemons and flowers and strawberries.
You filled the room, every room with the scent of you,then...

One WondersOne wonders of the
flexibility of Time…
3 minutes hardly enough,
or the perfect egg --
Our times together
never seeming enough
and the parts away, painfully
protracted, occupant of my
every reason --
Sentiments, of course, can’t
be canned, bottled or frozen;
no shelf-life for the heart
deprived – a mystery why I
even wear a watch?
never checked when with you
an eternity without you…....

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?...

Missing The Good ThingThe good thing is I am never going to be crying,
But the truth is there is still this deep heartaching longing
For that very something with that very someone I am missing....

a little balm and a little honeyin every pack of pistachios there are
one or two shells which are resistant to
the fingernail the addictive leverage
the satisfying splitting apart
you put them aside and save them for later
meanwhile pick, click, chew and finally
return to the awkward ones
refusing to yield their treasure
curse them go ahead curse them you won't
be defeated, you will solve their riddle

Sweet SorrowBonnie Brown was in love with Charles, like black pearl clings to night,
So young and engaged to be married, like myriad stars, shining white.
They were active professionals, dwelling in a charming, bustling town;
As warbling charms orange noon, after pink mist clears, with no sound.
They had dreams of future and a family, like purple nights of...

Complicated girlCOMPLICATED GIRL
I woke up to the sound of water,
splashing on the floor...
I wonder what's got into her now
I jumped up as quickly as I could,
leaping from the bed...
Hoping that she's still here somehow
Bridge
What's my life becoming,
Where'd it all go wrong,
Isn't it a grand illusion anyway?
Chorus
So I will try to understand,
she's a...
