I love the bones of you my valentine
Why don’t we go socialise?
Celebrate Valentine’s Day
You don’t look fat in my eyes
You’ve nobody to go with
But I will be there at your side
You like a bit of meat to grab hold of?
But I’m your attractive corpse bride
I love the bones of you back, my dear
We could dance, do the Boney Maloney
Rattle and roll, I do a neat trombone
Go Italian and eat macaroni
I’m more at ease at Halloween
But we’ll go paint the town, have a scream
Tickle my funny bone, give me a squeeze
A skeleton’s Valentine dream
Only if your heart is in it.

Hallelujah sang the angels
as he floated down the river
Romantic Masterpiece played on
Rescued from a watery grave
Haunting the Mississippi
Grace sang the angels
as he floated down the river
Poet Extraordinaire floats on
Rescued from a watery grave
Dream Brother
And the angels sang falsetto
Oh I’m not afraid to die
And the rain is falling
Wait in the fire, wait in the fire
Hallelujah ... I feel I’m drownin’ my name...

The sweet, sweet smell of a fresh rainfall
I breathe her in as I recall
A lingering kiss
A feel of bliss
Sheltering by the old stone wall
Rainfall bouncing on the ground
Takes me back that sound, that pound
to soaking skin
Clothes that cling
Laughing, running. Love we’d found
Rainfall heavy as my heart,
River of my tears
A soft goodbye
A wondering why
Rain reminds me we’re apart

She left with a case, not even a note
Heels clicking she never turned back
Clickety click, clickety clack
Where’s mum - little faces pressed
against the glass, eyes searching
Come away, says he, have your tea
She left for another, in her best coat
Heels clicking, she moved on with glee
Clickety clack, entertained on her back
Where’s mum- little cheeks stained
with tears, still eyes searching
Get to bed, says he, you’ve still got me
She left for the new, her old life remote
Heels clacking, she felt they did click
Clickety clack, her heels left no track
Where’s mum - little hearts plead
Eyes searching and searching
Clickety clack, she’s not coming back.

Graceful swan, your plumage white
you haunt the shadows of the night
on glacial waters of the lake
mute you glide, no sound do make
And I have loved you from afar
Lost to me, my wandering star
And how you danced as wings took flight
You mesmerised with feet so light
on every pirouette you spun
in moonlight’s glow, my heart was won
And still I love you evermore
Lost to me, hard to endure
You are the lake, the stars, the moon
Ethereal music’s soulful tune
Princess of the glacial water
Nevermore a lover, daughter
In death, your voice will soar the plains
Sing for me those sad refrains
Graceful swan, my deep regret
you nevermore shall be Odette.

She danced the dance of Death
The red shoes clinging tight
Pain with every breath
Giving up the fight
Near to sweet life’s end
The red shoes whirl her round
On Death she can depend
To dance her underground
Round, round in Dark Waltz spin
The red shoes dance her, on and on
A punishment for Karen’s sin
No sweet release for doing wrong
As she dances through Death’s door
The red shoes haunt the night
And spin around for evermore
A melancholy sight

Love led her to madness
in this dark, putrid place
where the living are ghosts
and haunt the shadows
Cries echo and walls ring
screams in the day,
screams in the night
Love led her and love left her
in this house of no hope
Sunken eyes, never still
Pacing the corridors

In a world devoid of light
In joyless, loveless realms
Curled in a corner, no more fight
Everything overwhelms
And grey, grey every day
In a quicksand, bottomless pit
Imprisoned, trapped, inside feel dead
The loss of self, the hope, the wit
Dark thoughts spin around the head
And grey, grey every day
In a padlocked cage without a key
Suicide beckons; a way to be free
Curled in a corner, with no energy
Living though the soul bleeds
And grey, grey every day
But Welcome to the little death
Of sleep where tortures fade
The peaceful rhythm of the breath
In lands where dreams are made

Arid desert
shimmering heat haze
shielding eyes, dazzling rays
blazing sun beats down.
Mirage
Crowned with aureole gold
you shine
strength, beauty
Being divine
Mirage
In your smile
sunbeams dance
In your eyes
Entranced
Mirage
Golden chariot
steeds of fire
Son of Titans
Heat, Desire
Mirage
Illuminated days
together
Sun God
Burn in me forever

The saddest day there’ll ever be
when nature sobs in harmony
Planet Earth will cease to be
and Heaven sends her sympathy
We will see the rainfall pouring
tears that never end
pooling in deep waters
as she cry, cries
until the angels die
falling from the heavens
drowning in her waters deep
their wings too wet to fly
We will hear the wild winds howling
screeching through the trees
calling out in misery
The Earth is on her knees
The angels that watched over us
are nevermore to be
The saddest day we’ll ever see
The death of Planet Earth.
