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?

Where do you go when
you leave me?
to a land of clear and clarity
is that honestly
so much better
that sitting here
totally
confused
and cluttered
with me?

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

I do not know
how to give myself
although I know I should
so let me give you this girl
who knows
just give her a whirl!

Let’s live out loud
or at least
let’s try
at the moment
we are just a whisper

Just sorting through
the thrash
this morning
saw you there
from the corner of my eye
at this early hour
my goodness
who in the world
put you there?

I’ve searched my whole life
for true love
woke up this morning
and there it was
asking if I wanted a bacon sandwich
or two
Who knew?

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

this
is a beautiful life
and my bit in it
is divine
and way more than
I deserve
in any currency
so why can I not see me
and life
from the
outside
and those who are looking in?

Why do you speak
in capitals
and love in lower case?

Why am I laughing ?
because I still can.

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.

Early May
and the winds are still howling
been freezing us since October
could one of us
be the strength beneath it’s wing?

The winds are gale force
hold the line
and I will too

You took on the big world
while you were such a  small girl
you are still here
the big world lost
You won!

Winter drips
from your lips
cold words
frozen and bold
ice now owns your eyes
stagnant
staring
uncaring

I wish you had arrived
when I still believed in love
I wish I had met you
when there was still
space in my heart
I wish I had heard your song
when I still believed in melody

I wish it was simple
I wish a word
could make it all go
away

I wish I meant less
to you
it would silence
the slamming of the door.

I wondered what we'd do
when the words ran out
now it’s  run out
almost on cue
I wondered what we’d do
when the light began to fade
now it’s dark in here
makes me afraid
I wondered what we’d do
when we couldn’t rise
now we’re sinking
like a stone in the muir
I wondered what we’d do
when we couldn’t smile
now it’s looking
now it’s looking
like we need another
mile

There are seven wonders of the world
I sat here tonight
and had dinner
with three of them.

There are seven wonders of the world
and I am sitting here
right here
right now
having dinner
with three of them

There are seven
wonders of the world
and three of them
are sitting here
right here
right now
at home
with me.

I will take back my words
now
in case you should stop
someday
soon
and see them standing
starkly
before you

I cannot find
the right words
and nor can you
so we choose
silence.

There are not enough words
in the dictionary
that could make sense of
how much
you mean
to me
trust me
I have tried.

I have such a million words
inside my head tonight
forgive me if I just throw them
on a page tonight
I can’t make sense of them
tonight
I can’t make them fly
like they deserve
tonight

he spoke words
I had only read in
poetry

These words
mean nothing
unless read
by you

So many beautiful words
thrown at me each day
I want to catch them mid flight
mix them up
help them catch the light
But however high I reach
they hover
just above my reach
So many beautiful words
thrown at me each day
I long to touch them
feel them
breath them
write them
But they remain
just a little bit out of sight
too high
And a little bit
a little always
just that much
too high

Nothing speaks to my soul
more
than  the words
you never say.

words are just words
letters strung together
that someone sometime
said made sense
and no one disagreed
so someone else
sometime , somewhere
decided
if they fit together
in an agreeable fashion
its poetry
its not , my loves,
it’s just words
letters strung together
that someone , sometime
said
made sense and
no one
disagreed
and that , my friends
is all this is
letters strung into
words .

Words and phrases swirling
Frantically
Inside my head
Given to me so freely
I want to return the gift
So they can dance to another tune
In another time
In another room
I want to set them free
So they can fly
And I can watch them
soaring way up high.

Night is closing in
I see that
yet I have ten thousand words sill
inside my head
what do I do with them?

I will not
not because I cannot
but simply because I will not
anymore
rage
for the single cause of rage
it is not worthy
anymore.

If we are going to write
let’s write clever
otherwise
it’s a useless
endeavour

I will write a word
if you write one too
I will right a wrong
if you right one too

Something in my heart
and a little bit my head too
tells me
this is absolutely the wrong thing
to do
the B road
the wrong road
I hear my Momma’s warning
I see myself
tomorrow morning
but I’m going  in anyway
and I’m going in deep
see you on the other side
of the wrong thing to do

Smile
and let’s pretend
that it’s all been
worth while.

In all these years
we have given
a million smiles
to each other
surely
we  have one more left
between us

it’s a long walk back
I said
we walked here earlier
you said
I know but
the  grass looked greener
then

Yes, I will
Not sure for how long
Or for how good
Or for how much
Or for what for
But for now
For here
For tonight
For now
Yes, I will.

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

I loved you
yesterday
or at least
I tried
but you were you
yesterday
or at least
you tried

My love for you
is so unattended
yet still so
attendably
here

You think this is the end
this is it for you
my god
You’re twenty five years old
buckle up , my lovely
the worst is yet to come
and the best.

I wonder
if anyone
has ever been
as wrong
about someone
as I have been
about you

I don’t know anyone
who is seventy
and thanks be to ****
neither do you !

of all the boys
I have
ever regretted
and there have been a fewl
I only ever
regretting
resisting
You!
