I wanted more
that’s for sure
a slow dance
a quick gin
I wanted more
that’s for sure
a romance
an easy grin
I wanted more
that’s for sure
a sunset walk
a little talk
I wanted more
that’s for sure
a few stars
maybe less bars
I wanted more
that’s for sure
the moon
if not the stars
I wanted more
that’s for sure
a bit more real
a bit less zeal
I wanted more
I needed more
and that my friend
well that , my friend
that’s for sure.

Where in the world
could someone find someone like you
who needs to be applauded for simply
getting out of bed
in the morning
Where in the world
could someone find someone like you
who needs to be adored from
midnight till dawning
Where in the world
could someone find someone like you
who when people are talking
replies with loud yawning
Where in the world
could someone find someone like you
Where in the world
Where in the world?

call me a fool
if I have said too much
I have been called more
from the ones I love
for thinking this much

if you will let
the words you
say
stand still
and strong
then
so will I
I will dance with
my words
deep into tonight
and way into
our unknown
tomorrow

words drip
easily
like melted ice
from my lips
drown
the words
I am so desperately
trying
to say.

I miss you
god, here  it is.
now, at last
it’s been said
out loud
no words
no rhymes
can describe
how much I miss you
or
who I am
without you
or
the fact
that
I miss you
here it is
out loud
at last
I miss you
now it’s said.

Off
I need a moment
to collect my thoughts
breath in
collect my thoughts
I certainly don’t want to speak
out of sorts
okay, I’m there
I am calm
so here is what I have
to say
let me breath in
and calmly
and zen like
almost Buddhism  like
say to you
could you just do me a favour
and
**** the *******!
