Sometimes
don’t you think
Life shouts
just a bit too loud
makes its entrance
just a little
too bold
Misses the point
just a little
too often
allows us to sink
just a little
too low
Sometimes
don’t you think?

Before the sun rises
You show me the
Light

Light a light for me
I will see it
eventually

I am light
I think I was born this way
I’ve tried the dark
embraced the pain
but it doesn’t sit easy in my brain
I  am light
almost breezy
I want  easy
I am light
I think I was
Probably
born this way

You cannot capture light
But darkness hovers
so available
so bright

When the lights
go out
is there any doubt
where we both
should  be?

You know what they say
Last one to leave
Switch the lights off
I will never
Be the one
to switch the lights off
On us.

Like my smile
and let me like yours
honestly,  it’s so much easier
than all the love
and adores

I won’t
throw you a
a line
I am
not quite
that brave

We are
liquid
which is both
our strength
and our
weakness

I think I can walk on water
I’m not Moses
I know
But still
Listen
I think I can walk on water
Fair enough
I haven’t tried yet
But still
Something tells me
That at a push
I think
I
could probably
Walk on water

I never won anything
in my life
no sport
no quiz
no battle
late at night
I never won anything
in my life
until
both of you
little ones
grew up
and turned out
to be
alright!

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

Your love
makes me feel safe
enough to sleep
every night
without
locking
the world out

There is no safe rock
No sane mind
There is no easy route
do not look behind
There is no solid block
No ticking clock
There is no way forward
Do not break the lock

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

this
what we have done
together
these little humans
we have
nurtured
together
and tossed out
into the world
together
this
what we have done
together
is way more than
we could have ever
done
apart
just stand back
give it a beat
look at them
listen to them
they are amazing
and our whole
life’s work.

I will stand up now
Although I am terrified by the feat
But I will stand up now
If you will too
Look over your shoulder
I am here now
Just behind the band
Passing time
In no mans land

Heres's life
looking at me sideways
Here’s you
looking at me too

I am looking for you
seems like
I am looking through you
where did you go?

we are lost at sea
the radio broken
the winds ten force
totally off course.

I am sorry
after this long time
you realized that
I am not  Cinderella
or a fairy tale
anywhere close to that
I am sorry
after this long time
You realized  
I am simply
just another
ordinarily girl
who  somehow
late in the night
haphazardly
lost
her
shoe
again!

I lost myself
the minute and moment
I surrendered
my soul
to you

I am more lost now
Than when you found
me

we laugh
the loudest
and fall the loudest
and hurt the loudest
and rise the loudest
of anyone I know

There is nothing in this world
more precious
to me
No metal
No stone
than your voice
on the other end of the phone

Just give a little
he said
dear god I’m trying
I said
just speak louder
he said
just look twice
I said
I’m dead

I love you
mostly
because of
who I am
when you hold my
hand.

I see your love
It stands starkly before me
I can’t reach your love
It hides hidden behind me.

I will not drop our love
I may not love our love
tonight
or want our love
tonight
or seek our love
tonight
or need our love
tonight
or know our love
tonight
or like our love
tonight
but still
I will not drop our love

I am slow
to the table of love
I am always
a beat behind
beautiful
but less inclined.

the girl is not not in love
she is just not  totally
in love in love
either.

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?  😁

You make
me
laugh
out loud
if thats not love
tell me
what is?

our love
which was once
an event
a waterfall
a crescendo
splendid enough that
people would queue
for hours
just to to see it
I get it
I would queue too
to see
our love
our love
is now just
a trickle
that no one
is interested enough
to get out of bed for
it’s just not
that special
anymore
in all honesty
it’s just not that interesting
to anyone
not even to
to you and me
anymore

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

I love you
Out
loud

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
seriously suspect
this is what love
is supposed to be
you and me
No questions
No answers
I seriously suspect
this is what love
was always meant to
be
If only
they knew

I see
you want me to applaud
your love
but
sadly I can’t
on this occasion
happily
I’m all clapped out

If I could send you
two thousand bouquets
or more
I surely would
instead
what I can send
is
one word
Love.

I wonder how it feels
to know
I was always only and ever
in love
with you

I will take this love
and I will run with it
as far as it will take me
as high as it will make me
I will take this love
and I will run with it
and I will never look back
for fear
reality will overtake me

Leave all of your love
strewn carelessly
across the floor
anything else
I would abhor

I am
so in love. with myself
that
when you said you loved me
I thought
I was talking to
myself

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 lost love today
was  sure I put in my pocket
before I left home
wrapped up and tight
saw it when I found my keys
smiling at me
reliable and bright
parked the car
and it was there
secure and steady
always made me heady
had it thru the day
because I was light
and a little gay
came back home without a care
now I can’t find it anywhere

Your words pour over me like silk
smooth
easy
gentle to the touch
no matter they may be untrue
right here
right now
they flow like music
heavy intoxicating musk
smoldering like  lust

I am living
in a life of luxury
I don’t recognise
anymore.
