Your words have a beauty
A cadence
A joy
A realness
A sorrow
A sadness
A joy
Can I drink tequila
In Mexico
Instead?

stop me before
I leave
say the words
I need to hear
before I know
what they are
lock the doors
I have no keys for
think the thoughts
I never thought
before
show me
love.
no one has ever known
before

Everything
is exactly the same
as it has as always been
except
for the blame

you don’t need to ask
the answer is
yes
but what the ****
ask it
anyway!

do you love
love
or just the
notion of
falling into  
something
that looks
a  lot like
what love
should look
a lot like
if you knew
what love looks
like
is that what
your love would
look like?  😁

I never thought I would end up here
with someone
like you
someone
almost too good to be true
Who knew?

google
something interesting to say
or
here’s an idea
just walk
the **** away!

Do not fear
do not rise
I will not linger
beyond sunrise
my words are spent
our  life unkempt
my love for you
religious
and
redempt

when dawn
broke
so did I

How many people
do you honestly
really seriously really
really love
in the world
tonight
count then
on one hand
if you can
how many?
cherish them
and love them
tonight
or tomorrow
if you can.

In someone’s eyes
I am just a girl
ordinary
in your eyes
I am extraordinary
I will resist the question
Why

You think I can’t pay the price
You are wrong
I am rich in tears
Rich in years
Call in the tab
I am ready to pay
X

I love that
You love me
And my family too
Makes life easier
And means
in the end
I won’t  have
to leave you
And us two

I can’t apologise
for being me
but I can feel sorry
that you ever
ever ‘ ever fell in love
with me
I can do that
for you.

Woke up this morning
and couldn’t find myself
Looked in the mirror
Nobody there
Searched high and low
No sign of anyone
Anywhere
Dialed 911
They didn’t care
Just hung around
Alone
All day
With nobody there

Unwritten
Unread
Unsaid

I could shake your hand
but I won’t
I could take your hand
but I can’t
I could walk away
so
tonight
I think
I actually ******* will.

Evening calls
But not for me
It creeps in gently
almost silently
to comfort the lost
and lonely
Speckled navy blue caresses
ease the worried mind
arms so gentle and secure
they leave the sad behind
Evening calls
envelops the mind
with soft silky silhouettes
of saner settled times
Evening calls
each one of you
forward
faintly
to sunnier safer times

You are without doubt
The best person
I could never
live without

I know you
but
you don’t know me
I know every thought going through your
head
You know me
but
I don’t know you
you know every though going through my
head

give me a reason
just one
even a little one
a pebble
if you will
then maybe
just maybe
I will change
it only takes a truth
at least half of one
to turn
desperation
into hope.

don’t look to me for honesty
for honestly
not sure if I can give it
don’t look to me to truth
for truthfully
not sure if I understand it
don’t look to me for love
for lovingly
I’ll decline it.

we are both
far  enough away
and clever enough
to know
it will take
the two of us
a monumental climb
a torrential will
and a beat
to see
what we’re leaving
behind
see the light
mull it over
chew the cud
decide
if we ever want
to
be
home again.

Today
Will never happen again
So drink it in deep
Tomorrow
Will bring more
and less
and if we are lucky
be today
all over again

One
single
word
could
change
the
world
write
it!

I am about
two minutes away
from falling in love
with you

I think I know the
meaning of No
when stakes are high
and morale is low
I think I know
the pain of resist
when lights are high
and pain exists
I think I know
how far people go
when desperation hits
And your core is in bits

I am saving.
the last
for best.

No one wants  to stand out
or stand alone
no one.is brave enough
so we all just faff about
and then
wander home
except
my son

Everything you wanted
I think
I wanted too
Everything you shouted
I think
I shouted too

Almost everyday
A million words tumble off my tongue
A million smiles
I give out to everyone
I come home exhausted
Overwrought
And overcome
Completely overdone
trying to pretend
I can be someone
To everyone

You have been here so long
just on the right side of me
that sometimes
I forget
when shiny things
shine down on  me
that
you are still here
as always
just on the right side of me.

I love my boy
I love my girl
Just not sure who I am cheering for
tonight!

Oh hello
Sorry
Who are you looking for?
No trouble
Do come in
Who are you looking for ?
Oh yes...... I know who you mean
No.........sorry
She left here years ago
nobody really knows
whatever
Became of her .....

I am not
you
and you are are
not me
no matter how much
or how hard
or how high
or how low
or how out loud
we endeavour to be.

in a lifetime
of forgotten words
somehow
I remember  yours,

He was fully grown
I was half way there
He had the world
in the palm of his hand
I was still playing with
sand

I am free falling into winter
summer echos
in my head
I cannot cling on
to sunny days
dusty evenings
romantic haze
I cannot prevent the chill
the hail crashing over the hill
I am free falling into winter
crying ice tears
against my will.

There are so many words
inside me
dormant
To light a match
might ignite
and burn
the whole world
down
tonight

The stillness owns me
now
I sold myself easy
succumbed
without  persuasion
surrendered
without conversion

There is probably
not much
I wouldn’t do
except
perhaps
say goodbye
to you

You are way
too small
Too tiny
too insignificant
to have anything at all to say
You can barely form a word at all
Mama
Dada
Play
What crazy first  words
you
first
say

when someone says
I love you
take it
embrace it
silence the questions
in your heart
when someone says
I love you
silence
the young child
within
you have lost.

These words mean nothing
Unless read
By you

you are my steady
**** knows
I needed
something steady

apparently America
wants Canada
**** me
What will America want next
Me and you?

This too will pass
He said
but the passing is slow
I said
look deep inside
He said
Too much to ask
I said
