Colours of the Heart

Hearts of you
in shades of black and grey
I carry in my palm
to remind me
why
I let you go...


Hearts of you
in shades of red and purple
I carry in my chest
to remind me
why
I love you...

Hearts of you
in vibrant shades of colour
I carry all the time
to remind me
why
love never dies...

The Witching Hour

This silence keeps me awake

makes my mind tick

in the dead of the night

the witching hour

plays a movie

over and over

tumbling, strange

thoughts

visions

words that mean nothing

I dream awake

yet when I close my eyes

nothing.

Yesterdays Boy

There you stand
with pain in your eyes, in
your heart
with every breath-a struggle

burdens abound
shoulders slouched
skeleton frame-a dead mind
a waste

where did you go
that boy, I once knew
empty shell
blackened soul-he has left

me-the boy I loved
once
smiling face
crystal eyes-lit up
joyful
gone, forever

Eagles Wings

Take me away on eagles wings
and take back tomorrow’s smile
the sun set early in this place
half cast shadows as you embrace
the one you love
the one you lost

Take me away on eagles wings
and take back tomorrow’s pain
the tears you cry
black like tar
envelope the ghostly night
and play riddles with your mind

Take me away on eagles wings
and take back all your tomorrows
the day you set
forever afresh
bound with thoughts
that locked your vaulted mind

A day for new lovers

Come and play
the chasey game
falling in love
and starting again

tomorrow's problems
will all seem new
come and run
this time is for you

I call you my sweetheart
I call you my love
this day's for new lovers
this time's for the young

I love you today
tomorrow too
come and play chasey
I'll play with you

Season's song

Leaves fall
catch in the breeze
the wind shouts
and they dance
dispersing them to another place
branches bare
naked
cold days
dark days
rustling leaves underfoot

New days
long days
heralding the sun
leaves bud blossom
and grow
branches once bare
now green
clothed again
reawakened
time begins anew

Behind the Door

Knock once
silently,
awaiting my reply

Knock twice
insistently,
yet, waiting all the while
patiently

Knock three times
this time booming
then enter
I'm waiting
all alone
