Regrets

I wish I'd lain beneath the tree.

Angels

The sun with passion burning bright
The moon, her hair as dark as night
The purest tune, the words so clear.

My Angel's Gown

I'll lie with you when night draws down
I'll clothe you in my angel's gown.

Free

What of us?
When the light goes out forever
And the lives we shared together
Are all gone.

If Tails Could Tell

If tails could tell
They'd point the way
They'd speak the words
We're shy to say.

My Last Love

This is my last love
And when it's done
There'll be no time to start anew.

I Lie Silent

There'll be no need to call or visit me
I've left this town, I've gone, I'm fancy free.

The Rat And The Crow

Now he is a squirrel
And how we love him so.

Ignorance Is Bliss

Ignorance of tomorrow

Allows happiness today.

Candy Floss

Time travelled slowly onwards
It sulked between the written lines.

Linger

Talk as two equals
Think not of the time
That waits in the space
Between your life and mine.

We Are Children

When children's children ask us how
We are slightly older now.

Pain

The pain that I felt next was in my heart
There seemed nothing I could do
But wince at each new sharp sensation
Is this the pain that you felt too?

Hold Me Close

Shout out your hurt from every rooftop
I'll nail closed each window, bar each door
The wildest winds won't drown your sorrow.

Tomorrow

A year ahead, I can't imagine
But one more night might be okay.

Fond Farewell

Great things lie in wait to do
But I was only here for you.

Storm Clouds

When your darkness shuts out the light
I'll burn a flame for you.

First Love

I see you in the darkness
The shadows that I find
You were my very first love
I fear you'll be my last.

Second Best

Long ago I was so hopeful
I'd change the world alone for you
But I've tripped at every hurdle
My spirits faded gold to blue.

First And Last

If a thousand sun-blessed kisses floated free
I'd choose the first I gave so carefully

Something Stolen

I  dream of fragrant flowers
Silent seconds, seldom seen.

Family Ties

You fought for me when I was young
Stood the ground I could not hold
Finished battles that I'd begun
Silenced words that were too bold.

Summertime

I'm dying for some summer
For the stillness of the night
The shyness of the fading light.

Endless Love

The endless love you gave me
It has saved me.

Sweet Surprise

Nothing falls neat from the hanger
Above the crumpled bed.

True Flame

Though troubles may be waiting just ahead
I'll wrap my warmth around you.

Echo

A soft reflection
The faintest echo
Fond recollection

Tall Trees

It was the tallest tree that grew
I'm loathe to say goodbye.
My arms stretched nowhere near around
But many were the times I tried.

The Perfect Sigh

No sense of a tomorrow
The place is here
The time is now.

Fond Farewell

The body saying goodbye to its soul.

Heaven

My days on Earth are numbered
But joy is unencumbered
Here today.

Leader Of The Pack

I'm the first to hear a pin drop
The last to know quite what to do
The first to race towards the door
Though not so keen to scramble through.

Love Like A Ghost

The future haunts me now - today
You'll leave and find your ghostly way
I'll kneel and cry and wonder why.

Eastern Eye

An Eastern promise fills the room
A smile that says we'll come back soon.

The Hands Of Time

I watched the face that scarcely changed
Followed hands that barely moved
And dreamed of you.

Did You Ever Know Me?

Was I slow , or lightning quick?
Was I dark, or pale?
Did the clothes I wore look very slick?

The Homecoming

I smiled as I drew nearer to her door
It's forever since we've spoken
But now I'm back for more.

Devon

A patchwork quilt of joyous songs that sound
As sweet as any angel's harp could sing.

The Lonely One

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