sometimes
I regress
to a little sister
desperately
seeking your love
still

My words can never be sweet
because
they weep
of intended deceit

I will stand up
Scared
Yet standing
Naked
Exposed
Reaching
Yet reclining
I will stand
I will hold you
If you falter
I will stand up
Scared
Yet standing
Will you?

Love is amazing but
love is waking up the next day
and not feeling quite
so sure  about yourself.

when days call
your name
and even they
mispronounce
it
maybe
that’s
the day
to change
your name
and re pronounce
it
maybe?

If I could write the word
To make you fall in love with me
again
I would write it today
And tomorrow
Again
I would scream it from the treetops
Scrawl it on the walls
Again
If I could write the word
I’d be free as a bird
today
If I could write the word
to make you fall in love
With me .........again......

I don’t love all of you
all of the time
who
in all honesty could
but sometimes
in our worst of times
I remember
and the remember loves
you still

there are
seven wonders of the world
and I am sitting here
eating dinner
trading words
passing time
with three of them.

In a world of over stated words
over exposed sentiments
written in too many paragraphs
for people who honestly don’t care
I lost interest when
God, I can’t even remember
when
that’s how quickly
I lost
interest

Let us leave our love here
where it began
where it was pure
where we were sure
that we knew better
let us leave our love here
where it is safe
and untainted
from the people
we have both
become,

I am closed
after being
open all hours
24/7
for twenty years
and more
I am closed
now
Permanently

Hold my hand
before we get too old

The bits I love about you  
are the little
grey bits
that fall from your designer suit
as the cameras shine
your eyes in mine
as you smile on time
I know I am playing too
but in all honesty
only for
you

There are times
when life invades
our thoughts
Assuages
our best
intentions
falls away
from who we want to be
There  are times
When life
Shouts louder
Than
Who we set out
originally
desperately
set
out
to
try
to
Be
Sorry

When did those little boy arms
who depended so much on me
when did those little boy arms
become strong enough
to hold me

Some sixties songster once said
I will lay me down
I will say the same
right here
right now
in the middle of this
one horse town.

Your beauty
is your honesty
it lies deep  beneath those
sapphire
blue eyes
that never blink
unless  someone
questions why
or perhaps
a random fly!

You wake me
when I sleep
stop me
before I leap

We grew up together
you and me
husband and wife
reaching out
for something
beyond strife
beyond  life
beyond  smile
beyond house
beyond kids
beyond ideal
beyond anyone
could ever hope to be
congrats !
we got there
we are now
after this long time  
beyond anyone  
anywhere
in this universe
could ever hope to be
Well done us!
lets not talk about
the price.

It was never what
you said
it was just you and me
instead
too much confusion
inside my head

Let the dust settle
in our heads
let the words
go unsaid
tomorrow
we will meet
again

I have too many words
running riot  inside my head
they spill out
unintentionally
at party’s
dinners
and soirées
offend the great
seal my fate.

A love is for life
not just
for Valentine’s Day !

Let me take your broken dreams
and put them back together
bit by bit
crack by crack
and if we can’t find the missing bit
let’s learn to miss it
heart by heart

I will love you
‘till the feeling comes back
again.

I envy the smile
that sits so easily
upon your face

Everyone loves you
your light shines on everyone
except
me

Let your love
carelessly
flow over me
let your words
make no difference to me
let your smile
make a fool out of me
let someone else
anyone but you
let someone else
anyone but you
let someone else
dear God
let someone else
take me home
tonight

Every time you walk away
we lose
another day.

and then out of nowhere
there was you.

Dream big
if you still believe you can dream
otherwise
there is no point
and I have failed you.

My elation
and pure joy
of giving birth to you
is an exact match
of having a grown up
real time
beautiful
now time
conversation with you

My being is slipping
through your fingers now
like sand
the me I used to be
falling at your feet
tiny graduals of me
irritatingly present
transparent
incomplete

I only stopped speaking
when you choose
not to hear.

I am alive
in this company
my laugh
louder than most
my smile
if you take a second look
nice but
just a shadow of
a ghost

Don’t be that weird person
we always promised each other
we would never
ever
be.

And then
after a hundred years of exception
I opened my eyes
and there was
nothing
there

In-between  the time
I think the thought
and feel the thought
and write the thought
everything has
changed

I believe you are brave enough
to love me
you carry a. weapon
to even up.the score

I have nothing to declare
except
my very bright red
lipstick

Sorry
is not big enough
for this
I know

You desperately search my eyes for answers
I don’t have
I’m just not that girl
but I will offer you this
it will honestly
seriously
inevitably
one way or the other
turn out all right
or at least
the way it’s supposed
to turn out
for you
one way or the other
Believe.

even when
I wasn’t in love
with you
when I couldn’t
catch the feeling
even when
the two of us
were lost in
a New York evening
even when
we were drowning in
noise and confusion
even when
we saw life
in different colours
even when
you were big
and I was small
even when
I was big
and you were small
even when I was here
and you were gone
even when you were there
and I was gone
even then
even then
I knew we’d get here
arrival times may differ
check with your carrier
but I knew we’d get here
even then
somehow
I knew we’d get here
and against the odds
*******
here we are
have we got there
are we here?

I love you
and I always always
probably will
I need you mostly
against my will
but still
I love you
and I always
always
probably
always
probably
will.

Love was never meant
to be easy
I can’t remember who
told me that
and I am not yet sure
they got it quite
right

I would rather wait
for you
all night long
than
take the first man home

When you left
you were right

Life asked
I answered
right question
wrong answer

Where are you
when you’re not here
beside me
Is it so much brighter
elsewhere?

Boys and girls
are rushing
way too soon
into men and women
who can’t consume
the reality
that this world was
not made purely
and solely
for
their amusement
