The Waiting Game

I slept alone
To dream

Empty Space

You stole my youth back when
You still could catch a girl like me

The Homecoming

There's been others she has loved
But I'm her special boy.

Echo

Fleeting shadows
The echo of a cry from you.

The Lonely One

The only one to live inside this skin
The keeper of the dread contained within.

Did You Ever Know Me?

Was I young - or fading fast?
Firmly drawn - or sketched?
Was I yesterday - or distant past?

The Perfect Sigh

Sigh - and the whole world sighs with you

Dear Mother

Where has your dear mother gone?
I know you miss her so
Washed up as sand on distant shores
Floating down as flakes of snow.

The Rainbow's End

Save our children from the pain
Look for hope in years ahead
But tell our tales of lives undone
The oceans filled with tears we shed.

My Day of Days

I never heard the cheering voices
Never felt the warmth of praise
I slipped away without complaining
I never knew my day of days.

The Winds Of Change

Might I take flight and fly so free?
The winds of change feel fresh to me

Dare To Dream

I

I'd hoped one day you could return
I'd hold my breath and count to ten
I'd close my eyes in case it helped
You back into my life again.

The Winning Post

The thief who stole your final years
Ran sweetly smiling from the scene
As lonely in your room you lay
Beside the love that now you dream

Constant Song

I loved you for your constant song

The Yellow Rose Of Texas

There's an un-mapped treasure island
In the sea of fear and dread
With a sun-bleached sheltered hollow
The place where once I lay my head.

Cold

It's cold, so cold
As cold as cold could ever be.

The Young Pretender

I voiced opinion boldly
My views were rising stock
The clothes I wore hung loosely
Principles as firm as rock.

Can't You Feel It?

It's right here
Can't you see it?

Tilly

I never knew you,  young and fancy free
But time's drawn no lines
On your lovely face
That I can see.

Can You Hear Me?

Would you hold me one last time?
I loved you dearly
You loved me all my lifetime long
So very nearly.

Time To Go

I've loved it when you've held me
Brief moments all aglow
But you've never really loved me
So it's time for me to go.
