PORTFOLIO

A love lost another across a river

A... nother one stranded

Unable to deliver

A love across a river

One heart lost within another

Looking at you is like lookng in to a forth dimension

Just a glipmse of me is nothing here there's  worth a mention

Your gaze above nothing but love

And... If you ever cared,,,

There's a love worth correction...

Once a Friend

I am a friend of mine

Possibly, the best I've ever had

I always looked out for me

Had my back when others fled

I was my island in stormy seas

Held my hand when on bended knees

Preyed over me as I lay

Shed a tear for me upon my day

And if I we meet in some future life

Perhaps a father, son or wife

The strand that binds us accords our way

But for now within this grave I lay

........................................................................................................................................

No Free Rides

I ain't looking for no free ride

And I ain't looking for no new bride

I ain't lookin' for a lover

just a new ride that won't blow me over

I ain't the one choking

living with no pride

I ain't the one hidin'

waitin' for a high tide to set me free

You ain't the one grieving,

livin' by the book

You ain't the one searchin'

tethered on a hook

You ain't the one cryin'

livin' like a crook

You ain't the one payin'

you're just 'avin' a look

And if you ever look me up

Find me in a local pub

Ask me a question

the answer

is love...

And if you ever look me up

Find me in a local pub

Ask me the question

and the answer

the answer...

Is always,

always love...

And, if you ever lose your way

Need a shoulder and a bed to lay

If you ever look me up,

find me at the break of day

I will count on you to save me,

save me today

I Love You SIlLL

A lie that drips from the open lips

Or a lie spelt out by finger tips

An untruth that pollutes our world

And so the brave new world's unfurled

I never dreamed it would come to this

A life time given for a single kiss

Two worlds apart and no path ahead

A man and woman go head to head

And in the shadows they plot their way

They run and hide by the break of day

Nothing's lost if you stay the same

But then is it he or she to blame

I only dreamed of a midnight kiss

A life time spent with you in bliss

You always hide as I play the fool

We watched those flames as they burned so tall

End me now or play this script

We all dangle by our finger tips

The fire it burns I'm in control

Misplaced it burns but just a hole

I reached out for you I care

You played the lamb I the fearsome bear

What is had is still as real

The reason why I love you still...

Strange Ways

It's strange but it still rings true

It's funny how he misses you

But then he was always true

It's funny but he misses you 

Dreams of a constant flight

Awake he sleeps alone at night

Lay down his sword he has no fight

Awake he dreams of you at night

Sacrifice a love sick bird

As he hangs on her every word

A truth that only now occurred

As he hangs there on her every word

All he wants to do is die tonight

No dove of peace and no respite

All he want to do is to cry tonight

No quarter given and no respite

Prey for his whisper to be heard

She played the role of the mocking bird

And for all whispers never heard

No defence made no lines are blurred

And as he drifts on the endless sea

Knelt down under the broken tree

He preys for her hand eternally

As he hand broken beneath the tree

.............................................................................................................................................

A joy at being...

If there's joy at being all at one

And the loves we gain are just for fun

There is a rift between the mind and heart

And the struggle we face that tears apart

A warrior king can stand so proud

While the poet he hides within the crowd

An audience of the brightest fools

The finest tradesmen without their tools

I build a cage to hide myself

Like rich men build safes to hide their wealth

And in the shadows I know it all

But still I strive to be the fool

There is no pain in letting go

There is no gain in holding so

Let your spirit rise to above

And let your heart go out in love

There is no waiting , no sign above

Fleeting paths built of needs to grow

Paths that cross only gods would know

So get aboard that bus that takes you home

A spirit hopes not to be alone

The ones we chose and the ones we lose

The eternal battle with a wayward muse

I give my heart in different ways

Wary and guarded never pays

And as a King defends his crown

He misses the point of his lady's frown

We all build cages of our own device

Barriers built of man made vice

There is no pain in letting go

There is no gain in holding so

Let your spirit rise to above

And let your heart go out in love

There is no waiting , no sign above

The Meet

Shall we rendezvous at midnight?

Let the last light of the city fade

Shall we meet beneath the neon light?

Let us talk of plans we made

Shall we meet again on Thor's day?

Holding hands as we drink

Shall we feast beneath the sun ray?

Staring eyes in depths we sink

Should we ever meet at midnight?

Holding hands in moon lit ray

Shall we make our plans together?

Or, play hide n seek all day?

Shall we rendezvous at midnight?

Hold hands beneath our tree

Shall we kiss once more in starlight?

Spirits rise once more we're free

.....................................................................................................

Upon the Rocks at Sunset

Will you take me to the beach at sunset

Hold me on the rocks till dawn

Please hold my hand at midnight

Lets forget ourselves till morn

A feeling left so fleeting

A wisp upon the lawn

If you hold my hand till midnight

I'll be there to kiss you in the morn

Never getting younger

A soul upon the open road

For a love to ever get stronger

You must carry an heavy load

If we ever get to see that sunset

Ever my arms around your breast

Please hold my hand at midnight

And in your arms forever rest

Love Scatters Everything

By the time I knew I loved her I had already left that home

Doubt if anybody told her I walked that path alone

Scarlet on the telephone crying remorse at her loss

When swords are drawn she’s left alone having visions of the cross

Forgiveness is a virtue, regret is just a pain

Taken by emotion love becomes a game

A contest of fools the stupid never see the same

Never any winners just ones who take less blame

If you've ever walked high places your heart about to burst

Bow before your destiny for better or for worse

If it's letting go that matters means that you at least are free

Everything becomes scattered nothing left of you and me

A true love is a destiny a path of uncertain ground

Many will mistake it as its subtle and profound

The stars are often certain and then a little vague

And the news is full of stories about people and a plague

Time it passes swiftly and less is more today

There is no point in hiding the games that lovers play

Shadows cross the alter love illuminates the pit

Severed bonds that do not falter chained deep within this crypt

And as another chapter turns another day

Children grow to god whilst the evil kneel to prey

There's a gathering of people all here to sing a tune

But the spirit left the party the guests are less immune

On the final day of mine I ask you to prepare 

A band of scarlet roses and wear them in your hair

Take my body to the shore and wrap me in the sun

We'll have that cuddle on the rocks when our time comes...

...........................................................................................................

To kiss or not to kiss

Low tides livin' life with few regrets

A few laughs and a few sunsets

Takin' every chance, an emotion

Just a glance and locomotion

In your eyes, between your lies

No chains to bond, no more ties

And I sent you a virtual kiss

Instead of the real one we never missed

Liberated still holding a key

You were never really looking to me

I read your letters, word by word

Between every sentence the silence heard

And now you're back, as sunset falls

And here am I, the eternal fool

If such a kiss could ever be

A virtual kiss is all from me

The Illumination of Savitri

Between Savitri and the Mother

Savitri and her lover

Between the darkness and morning lightillumination of savitri

She's lost and no hope in sight

Between Savitri and the mother

Savitri has a lover

Between the darkness and the morning light

Savitri never sleeps at night

.................................................................................................

Lady in the Pink Pyjamas

There is an upside to this drama

Suicidal tendencies dressed in pink pyjamas

There is no freedom from obsession

An image burned in emotional recession

We crave for love we crave for recognition

A social paranoia born of deep division

No longer sane no longer bound by tradition

We break a mould and widen the division

We do no pray and our gods change daily

Our life is now not never maybe

And we never question why

And most of all, we never have to lie

The cause of things is often by design

Whether god or, just you or I

There is a step that all must take

Walk the branch that will eventually break
