Freedom is such a beautiful thing
that makes you feel weightless,
like you're on top of the world,
like you can control the constellations.
And why can we feel freedom?
Because you can't have light without darkness
or happiness without sadness,
we all know what it's like
to be chained down,
a slave to society,
to the cards we've been dealt if life.
Lately I've been stuck in a cell
screaming to be free,
fiending to feel weightless again,
willing to do anything to take off these chains,
because deep down I will always be
a slave to freedom.
There is little transparency,
apparently
the key to getting on is
duplicity,

it's
not for me,
two faces speak with two tongues,
which is something Cochise may have said,
but we can't ask him, he's dead.

Now is the summer of our rising rent,
and the malcontent and the discontent
who knows where the time went?
which is something Shakespeare may have said,
but we can't ask him either because he's dead.

there's a thread going on here,
and we are
the unwinding of the gear.

Being wrapped in your love
feels so good on a wintry day
makes me grateful even for the gray,
for this life I get to live with you
and the spring that soon will break through
the browns and the downs.
Sometimes,
I want to tell you about the night cold,
and my cigarette lit on my right hand,
and a poem that describes everything
I see the day I pass,
and the sad song,
and dim light on my eyes,
and your eyes will see me from the screen on your phone,
and that melody of a night owl,
and the moon,
and the wind,
and the last breath your fragrance clothes on my jacket,
and your lips hanging out my rose,
I gave you.

Wouldn't you be annoyed if you couldn't spot the asteroid when they're telling you that it's at least a mile wide?

I'd be fuming, swearing at the moon in the most colourful choice of words, all too late when it touches down, annihilates the entire town and no developers left to shake their heads and frown,

thinking that's the plus side
the asteroid should be five miles wide.

it's coming and they know it
in Macclesfield, they don't show it,
but they watch the skies
all the same.

Papa black sheep
Have you gone mad
Yes sir yes sir -  I fall for all suedo helpers.
You look
and a beauty she is
Then she moves, smiles and talks
and the beauty is gone.
    You look
and you don’t see beauty at all
Then she moves, smiles and talks
And a beauty she is!

Beauty is more then what the eyes can see.
It’s indeed in the eye of the beholder.

I'm that love
That you want but does not need

I'm that love.
That protects you, deserves you

I'm that love that will go the distance to serve you
In sickness of health
In times of wellness
In times of communication
