It's a good thing to believe in magic
Then your wishes can come true
When life is easy and each day new
Magic just adores to surprise you

It's a good thing to believe in love
To be certain your on your way
Nurture and care every single day
Love simply loves to shine her ray

It's a good thing to believe in peace
No need to ever war and fight
Watching over humanity with light
Peace will always help us to do right

Passport ticket and travellers cheques
Gigantic tin can capulted into the sky
Locking the door carrying two suitcases
Opening a door to an uncertain future

Reality has shifted by a few tiny degrees
And left everyone a little out of sync
Easyness has disappeared invisible and
Unquestioned in the past couple of years

Lacking the courage to make a clean break
Seeing a film of jaded dissolution settle
Understandable of course but not acceptable
Honest eyes and easy smiles were now needed

Life waylaid by regret drowning in untruths
Glancing skyward a plane flew low overhead
Answers were finally within reach and a
Shadow was to become real life flesh and blood

Loving glances dancing light
On skin delicately bronzed
Tripping over chosen words
Drafted into close quarters

Cheerful laughter glistening
Darned polite but amusing
Belonging making it easier
All seems as it should be

A flat open yard becomes the
Magical forest with brambles
And mazes on the edge as
She dreams the day away

Flitting about in a white dress
Sunshine turning her long red
Plaits to shimmering gold and
Translucent wings unfolding

If you could see yourself
For just one second
Through my eyes
You would love
Yourself for
Eternity

She brushed a kiss she felt on her cheek
Felt a gentle hand given to squeeze
She found herself surprised by the
Sudden unexpectedness of the gesture
"Your a surviver" a soft voice called

Then she knew how afraid she was
Tears that had waited a long time to
Escape were finally released under
The dark veil of torrential rain
Big fat teardrops downpoured hurt

The sky above grumbled ominously
Then turned to light spectacular
Windchimes clattered with madness
Noises amplified by howling winds
She knew the storm was on its way

She would not surrender but maintain
Her inner strength and dignity
Her vitality was the food for her soul
Her love was boundless and eternal
Natures diversity and hers together

Radiate your love
And brighten
The lives all
Around
You

Cardboard box under flyover
Canvas tent in an alleyway
Sleeping bag in small caves
That's our home for today

Thousands of young homeless
All down to our cut and cap
A generation of people like us
All over our own English map

We're ripping safety nets away
Leaving them out in the cold
Rotting their young bodies daily
Harming their brave fresh souls

We can take away their demons
Give them some chances to live
Allow them a future to be proud of
I'm sure that's not too much to give

Do not believe all the things you tell yourself
So resolutely outside times usual rhythms
When floating on the outer edge of living
Use your minds ability to toss up flecks of
The past further into the tunnel of long gone

Let those silent tears ,damp and glistening
Settle into an abstract sideshow of your own
With ingenious certitude and unstoppable
Force ,let misgivings fall away with due pomp
No matter how high the cold winds may blow

Happy as larks they'd been
Back when the future still
Stretched unmarked ,trusted
Spirited and more imaginative

Clouds seemed to cross his brow
Clustered at first in nervous knots
Ghostly shadows in full moons
Black bats silently brushing by

Knowledge knows what was
Intuition reveals what can be
Love lost to love and he wonders
Which star she watches him from

Alone he is a fading flower bud
A pantry empty of nourishment
Together they were a blooming
Garden filled with rainbow colors

Never let fear decide your future
Journey of dark night of your soul
It's where we learn who we are
Time won't make us forget but
We will grow and understand
Direction is more important than
Speed and love transcends time

You hold in your hands
The colour of your day

School mums running
Clever and cunning

Lipstick and blusher
Are good for chatter

Shadows and bags
Weekly girl mags

Gossip time and toast
They all have a boast


Slimming and fitness
Goal is the witness

If you've tales to tell
Their your best pal

Talk behind you back
Of all that you lack

Mums school gang
Go off with a bang

They'll give you hell
Then say oh well
No reason to yell
You just don't gel

Held tenderly within  angel wings
He released his most inner secrets
And I silently wept for the strong
Hard man with the child in his eyes

Mirrors are the throat of time
Devouring all in their path
Leaving nothing not even bones
Relentless in their wrath

Mirrors are the throat of time
Taking all with nil to give
Leaving only the profound loss
So deep we can never forgive

Mirrors are the throat of time
Stealing from each of us all
Leaving no corner unexposed
Silent witness to our downfall

To receive first you must give
The universe operates in cycles
Optimal health and energy and
Replenishment needs balance

Inhalations  and exhalations
The acts of giving and taking
Ensures we maintain the rythm
Giving us the loving balance

Myriad solutions await our call
If only we set our inner minds
Dial onto the positive light that
Dwells endlessly within us all

Giving from a place of abundance
Knowing you have more to give
Brings a joy that lifts the spirit
Steering forwards in lifes dream

Today feels different
Strange glistening eyes
Gaze directed inwards
Bitter sweet lethargy

Still as an ice statue
Can't imagine infinity
Life curls on threads
Of Justice and mercy

Bodies touching but
A void between souls
Tender cry of the alone
Stuffed full with empty

Assurances of bliss are
Realy just fairy stories
Invisible to the eyes it
Receeds shamefaced

On distant shores souls await
To unite in loving bliss

There's something I desire like
Dripped honey on strawberrys
It's scent delicate and ravishing

We are the universal harmony
Through which human warmth
Survives hidden from cosmic wind

Celestial incantations float airily
Beyond everything inessential
Being joyful of the incidential

And we should treasure each sip
Thoughts running in time like grass
Reflecting lifes own  peace endlessly

Your sleeping like a chrysalis
I'm listening to your rhythm
So light easy in the moment
Beautiful serene and sleepy
Protected  by a blanket cocoon

Cuddling up I tell precious tales
Like sea breathing it's vastness
The seaweed just tattered rags
Swishing gravel sizzling foam
Logs scoured smooth over years

Broken glass  oceans sugar candy
Pebbles giving away their secrets
An abyss of turquoise from below
Above seagulls plaiting winds hair
Closing my eyes my dreams begin

An insipid tattoo on a worn out drum
Shells that have become ashtrays
In the mundane reality of life
Thoughts dimly reflected
In the ***** puddles
Scattered crumbs
In cold sheets
It's just a
Dreary
Day

Tenderly kissing your eyes suddenly I can see
This beautiful arc of intense warmth and light
Like future glass still waiting in sunshine sand
Enticing virtual scents rich and ready to pour
Tiny sparks from a candle reflected on pupils
Rinsing each starry image on my own stream
While silver white carp begin butting the sky  
My rose tinted skin only exists touching you

High in our vast universe
Smoldering bodies touching
Fingertips exploring silken
Waiting with an eager breath

Dressed in silver moonbeams
Glittering stars in their eyes
Driven by natures own desire
Floating above heavens skies

The red rigid planet rises hotly
Teasing agony space performs
Lips tenderly touch and kisses
Orbits begin delicate slow spins

Venus in this sacred holy union
Eyes aglow in cloud like smoke
The world bluring and melting
As they slide together as one

A silence of simply gliding
Birdseye view of all below
Total control of all you see
High above the clouds of woe

Patchwork quilt of love and joy
Great expanse in peace of mind
Magic landscape of beauty's all
Only air and breath around to find

Soaring lifes bends and curves
Hovering valley summiting hill
Forgiving contours of the man
Forever moving amazingly still

Out of this world inside my head
High indeed on lifes great wave
Oceans past and many more to see
Sailing strong with my  love to pave

Fantasy strikes punches into
Frozen hearts shattering
Belief crashing hope

Every day becoming stronger
Standing taller with each other
Firm bindings holding us together
Red blood lines drawing tighter

Learning all the given knowledge
Believing in the higher good
Knowing the ancient laws of man
Becoming in touch with spirits lore

Unconditional love at its purest
Loyalty portrays strongest links
Teaching the young to understand
The invincible bond of the family

Love doesn't live here anymore
I saw its glistening particles
Floating past open tear windows
Drifting slowly downwards to
Halt at the firmly closed door
Habit making efforts to knock
Just remembering to cease
Before the ****** of the bell
Turning away to look around
Love doesn't live here anymore
Yet Still I return home to unpack
The darkness and hold onto light

Words and hearts should
Be handled with care
For words when spoken
And hearts when broken
Are so hard to repair

When all that glitters is not gold
And valleys mist your open eyes
Call me , for my own magic wings
Can fly you to clearer sunnier skies

If the black dog is again on your back
And all you feel is the darkest grey
Call me ,for my own magic heart
Can beat your fears , calm your day

When your sense of perception
Has hidden all that you you've got
Call me , for my own magic eyes
Will show you all that you've forgot

When your days are  never-ending
And your  nights are hard sharp steel
Call me ,for my own magic angel
Tender love for you is all I feel

I want to sit and read for
It gives me great pleasure
Without thinking I'm needed by someone

I want to revise from history
Text books purely for education
Without ever having to take tests or exams

I want to colour my world
In fantastic neon colours
Without ever seeing a dull grey or black

I want to trust my lovers arms
Safe in knowing the strength
Without the pain of jealousy or letting go

I want to love with all my heart
Allowing myself the highest joy
Without the worry of  being smashed or broken

I want to so YES I will

Would you believe someone
Who told you they're a liar

Devious deceitful dialogues
Decrepit desperate dithering
Detailed demonic deliveries
Disgusted demoralised dirges

Languidly loving longings
Lustful liberated labido
Lavacious liquidity laudable
Legendary loyalty lengthens

Tuesday was a good day
I awoke early naturally to
The sweet sound of birds
Singing their morning tune
And their joy made my joy

Then I heard the terrible news
In Brussels people were dying
And my heart went out to them
Feeling disgusting shame that we
As humans do that to each other

Half in stress and half in pleasure
For I am one hopeless romantic
The auditions have obviously begun

Future names and different clothes
Same thing happens again and again
Spiritual anxiety,quicksilver soup

Empty life and no final destination
Shivering in the boiling white heat
Jangling nerves of red anticipation

Blue planet eyes spinning
In the galaxy of his skull

Time to set aside work awhile
Playfulness , gaiety and laughter
Gives all a new perspective as
Our tired souls cry out for fun

Simple pleasures ,moments spent
In stillness,laughing with friends
Or watching that funny movie again
Play and fun balance our daily lives

We deserve happiness and enjoyment
Allowing pleasure in each new day
So stop what your doing right now
And let your playful spirit fly free

Joy springs from appreciating the gifts
Within each and every precious moment
Joy allows you to attract and create
Your present and future moments
At their highest best and possible levels
Look past your mistakes and see the
Eternal flame of joy within yourself
Joy is our highest energy form it's the
Magical sense that everything is possible

In the darkness under millions of stars
Was the warm smile of a prior claim
A chance to break with convention
Raised eyebrows turned to lowered lids
A shimmer of uncertainty fizzles
Highlighting the effect of defiance
In unexpected solitary splendor

The beginning was unconsidered people
Their night time mutterings familiar
Friendly voices during the hours of dark
Addicts of the slow uncluttered time

But some choices will haunt forever
White shards of sputnics flying
Starry explosions within the eye
Show a gleeful sense of malice

As huge storms gather in the red sky
Swift confident and totally predictable
Images flashing like neon steel bells
Gigantic whistles singing in white heat

Behind these invasions of her space
That keep her company when not asleep
He attempts to brush away likes specks
Ripples of dust in the texture of his life

But to her it is a slow painful process
An identity that has been stolen and
Her wide open eyes can only stare
Hearing acute for the sirens soft wail

We grew into adults together
And there were so many days
Filled with love and laughter
Held in our sunshines rays

We grew into parents together
Not knowing the joy it would
Bring to our young baby selves
To give them everything we could

We grew into pensioners together
After all the long and lovely years
Still the light we  needed and loved
Forever there through our fears

We grew to know each other together
Understanding with just one look
Always putting the other one first
We gave much more than we ever took

The spell of the folding star
Fortells the line of beauty
As the unknown becomes
The hammock and the
Broken knot the post

Cloud pink above the rockery
Grey fingers of twilight too
Resolving into the nooks
Across paths as ideas seen
Not given a chance to bloom

The deep black sea hides
Our most gentlest of creatures

Look past the seeming errors
Mistakes and misunderstandings
And see only the love within
Give this your resolute focus

Love underlines every situation
Healing in undreamed of ways
Love switches on the light
To diminish previous darkness

Each thought is an investment
That pays immediate dividends
Align with peace love and harmony
To a more loving vantage point

Affirm all that your heart desires
And forget of what you fear
Look past the personalities of others
And see their pure angels within

Whenever you have worries
Or aches within your heart
There's someone who knows
A place where hope can start
So when you need some peace
And someone who will care
You have the reassurance
Your  angel will be there

Our light can never be extinguished
Our only task is to ensure that
It's glow burns even more brightly
Shining for the whole world to see

To attract heal and balance and
Feel safe and loved deep within
To grow bloom and prosper
Simply ask and its all given

For love is all around us and
We sometimes forget to look
But that magic in the light
Always shows its gentle way

Take care with your dreams
They can crack with reality
The hand that is given to hold
Has always relied on another
To regain its own balance
For it too has fallen hard
On the infertile arid ground
Needing water from the well
And salt from mother earth
Hearing it's owm wail and cry
It can only kneel and pray

Sunshine pleasantly awoke me this morning
With the beak tap of a tiny healthy bird
Extending it's circle of smiling gladness
To all that cared listened or heard

Blowing softly on my inner embers
And stoking the great original flame
Unill I understood it's glowing reason
Of why I sail  on the nights astral plane

The great seat of creativity now within
Comes from a relaxed and open mind
And today I'm more than willing ready
To stay in Sunshine's  splendid find

So if you see me vacantly smiling
Like the cat that got the cream
I'm living my new other life
In the land I call daydream

You have given hope
To a soul
Yearning to fly

May I please ask
With soft tender love  
Your tired weary soul
To dance with mine
And sing with joy
Until they're breathless
In never ending time

Five  coloured coral moons await me
In a deep  sea of liquid gold
The wise ones who  will carefully tutor
They are my ancestors of old

The first to rise was was pure white
With the  softnees that is peace
Love acceptance and knowledge resides
In smiles that can not cease

Next to show was the purple globe
It's precious rays delicate and calm
Inspiration and good judgement
Will be my daily creative balm

Following on was sunny yellow
Shining her beams of hope
Innocent happy and light-hearted
Helping my new world to cope

Then came orange fun bright and bold
Spraying me with her vigorous zest
Stimulating alive on top of the world
Splendidly alert to all that is best

Last to rise was the blood red moon
Crimson streaks for all to see
Raging passion desire and lust
With just a touch of intimacy

I could have given you my heart
But there's someone whose torn it apart
And he's taken almost all that I had
But if you want I'll try to love again
The first cut hurts the deepest
Cat Stevens
