Let us sail an ocean
Let us swim a stream
Let us raft a raging river
And lay in lakes unseen
Let us scale the summits
Let us peek the peaks
Let us ramble rolling ridges
And scout untrodden streets
Let us move the mountains
Let us soar through trees
Let us cross the deepest valleys
And walk on silver seas
Let us fight for fairness
Let us wage a war
Let us joust and duel for justice
And life forevermore
Let us call on courage
Let us act humane
Let us gladly give forgiveness
With nothing to be gained
Let us pray for virtue
Let us hope for love
Let us live our lives in glory
Whatever lies above
Let us whisper wishes
Let us dare to dream
Let us chase our every passion
Let ambition reign supreme
Let me ask a favour
Let this wish come true
Let me take a thousand journeys
Just let them be with you

When the sun starts to rise, when the morning dew gleams
When the starry night shimmers, and the tranquil lake sheens,
When the starlings they dance, and parade in full view
Well I won’t see a thing, I’ll be looking at you
When the cold settles in, when the warmth starts to fade
When the winter wind chills, and the pink skies have greyed
When you’re looking for comfort, when you’re nursing your pain
I will hold you my love, be your shield from the rain
When the candle wick withers, when it’s losing its flame
When you’re tired of my voice, and the sound of my name
When the ground feels uneasy, and the doubts start to form
I will give you my word, we will weather the storm
When our skin starts to crease, when our bodies grow old,
When we’ve lived loved and laughed, and our story’s been told
When you’re ready to leave, when you’ve said your goodbyes
Well just know I’ll still be, right here by your side

These clouds up in the sky today
Again just look like sheep to me,
No more of dragons, frogs or birds
Can I, in odd shapes, make or see
These stars up in the sky tonight
Again just look like specks so small,
No more Greek gods or ancient lores
Am I much able to recall
These superheroes and comic books
Again just seem like childish plots,
No more their dark and twisted tales
Which long ago have been forgot
No more her smile
No more her cries
No more her clasp
No more her sighs
I let it all slip through my mind
These memories I leave behind
No more of all the things that she
For years had struggled to teach to me

Sitting there along the shore
Where scarlet turned to grey
Her memories here from years before
Have all but faded away
The dancing trails of feet on sand
Have long since gathered dust
The warmth of walking hand in hand
Has frozen up so fast
Now all the lingering scents and sounds
That in this place remain
Remind her of love's ups and downs
But bring her only pain

Patient though my heart may be
Its bounds shall not exceed
Thy tender loving creed
And open though my eyes may be
They live within a dream
Thy flaws remain unseen
And truthful though my voice may be
Its words shall not reveal
Thy heart how I would steal
And curious though my ears may be
They’d refuse to ever hear
Thy honest truth I fear
And trusting though my soul may be
It’d struggle to believe
Thy words of kind reprieve
So troubled though my mind may be
My self restraint shall free
Thy pain of knowing me
For longing though my heart may be
Its pride won’t let it speak
For thy love is out of reach

Through shuffling passengers
their eyes first meet
With a softly raised eyebrow
Each other they greet
Through deliberate seating
In direct line of sight,
With their hopeful hearts beating,
Their passions ignite
Through carefully dropped books
They succumb to their yearning
Exchange lingering looks
With a direct gaze that’s burning
Through nervous darting eyes
In opposing directions
They expose their eager cries
For each others’ attention
And through their look of disillusion
Upon their fruitless farewell
They reveal their frustration
At not leaving their shell
But through all that has been spoken
Neither dares to make a sound
And the silence remains unbroken
For their voices stay buried
Underground

Stop me loving her hurting him ruthlessly
Stop me loving her hurting him
Stop me loving her hurting
Stop me loving her
Stop me loving
Stop me
Stop

Head tucked in his chest
She’s rolled into a ball
Forgotten all her stress
Sheltered from it all
His arms draped down her side
Protectively contained
The stillness of the time
A stranger’s look exchanged
The trickling Sunday rain
A shy look to the floor
A pounding head of pain
Sorry, have we met before?

Excuse me sir
I’m searching for
A man who’s lost alone
He left to seek
A distant dream
And wandered far from home
His eyes belie
His wretched smile
A vacant glare of sorrow
His goal forgotten
He’ll know no peace
He’s pursuing a lost shadow
So excuse me sir
You’ll pardon me
If I come across too eager
This man I knew
From days long past
He had a certain demeanour
My memory fails
Why your grin’s so familiar
But I’m a little too proud to say
So I’ll give a fake smirk,
Continue my search
And bid you on your way

A vast swathe
of uncut grain
Thrashing in
The wind
A lone scythe
sitting, watching,
quivering
At the sight before
Though unkempt and
swaying wildly,
Perfect
in imperfection
Though sharp enough
To fulfil its duty,
Sharp enough to
recognise the beauty
Of the unblemished
