You watched me as we worked the garden,
Every blade cut in line, every hole plugged and filled.
And as time and sweat watered and tilled.
You watched.
You watched us put down and take up roots,
Parties and cricket, rugby and pets, even phone calls to lovers.
But in the rain and the regrets we left un watered and withered.
You watched
We left and you watched us still.
We grew our own gardens, watered with joy and tears.
New memories and fields that grew year on year.
And you closed your eyes.
We buried you in someone else's garden.
And returned to tend yours, let the dead earth breathe again.
And turn a new leaf, but somewhere between the breeze again,
You watched.
You bloomed.
And you wait.
Until we stand in the same garden again.

In a room full of enemies
Including yours truly
Even when truly sometimes I’m not even yours
You speak of me fondly
And call me by name
You blame me for beauty and love for your cause
But love like an ocean
Is nearer than shadows
From my shallow stream that runs dry by your sea
Your thunder will deepen
This rain deep affection
And deep connects deep as you flow out of me.

A seed
That was what your love was like
It had to die to grow
Watered by memories
Tilled by todays
And all our hopes for tomorrow
My heart still blooms with love for you
And that's where your garden still grows

It is both understandable and bewildering,
That you knew my name before I did,
Even before I was born,
And I will remember yours long after you are gone.

The Sky was always your home,
You just came in and lit up my room for a little while.

Between the wind and rain
Is a breath from my lungs
That longs to be in yours

You pull down the canopy of night,
And with pin ****** bright,
You guide the sun back to the sky
And whip back the grey and black canvass
Royal gold and turquoise
Without a noise, your pen scratches the sky
With streaks of white and grey
Thick black thunder heads sway
And then as the paint bleeds, you cover the easel
We can open the heart and pierce the mind,
But only an artist leaves feelings behind,
Feelings from thoughts as big as the sky

In your eyes there is freedom,
From the shadow's glare
From the wounded stares
From the mirror snares
In your hands there is healing
From the heart of doubt
From a life without
From a razor mouth
In your heart there is meaning
For the misunderstood child
For the violent wild
For the broken smile
But in your death there is nothing
Forever closed eyes
Forever cold hands
Forever silent heart

Hello my heart of hearts
Why do you scream at the stars
Do you not know that they cannot hear you
They are far too far
Why do you hold to these sorrows of sorrows
Why do you rage against yourself?
Give up, There is nothing good in you, What is wrong with you, So ******* useless.
Heart of hearts this will not do.
That simple sorrows would rise this tide
And wash away the joy inside.
Remember small battles and losses mean naught.
They are the shadows between the stars,
That we trace behind our eyes.
Heart of hearts, if you believe this truth.
You will be the sky of skies.
That gravity cannot help but let fly.

You always loved to drive.
I remember how it made you smile.
Made you feel alive
Mile after mile.
Your mind after mine
You are my dad after all
But I could never find
The drive to follow
I let you drive off
Into the night and never knew
That would be the last time I'd see you
Red tail lights, blurred, as I walk home.
