Alas they returned
The faces of the silent
For they had been so very quiet for many a year
Hidden yet on view
Waiting for me to stare
A look in that special way

I'd seen him in the carpet
Just a face
Silent
Quiet
Just a face
Looking lost
My spine gave a tingle

I never know what they want
They never speak
Nor shout
Or leap out
Silent yet they be
Still a shiver scares my soul

You can see them too
If you want
Just take a look
They could be in your curtains
Or staring from your wall
The faces of our passing
Ghosts from time before

She
The bed lays cold under your heart
White sheets adorn the lifeless room
Yet the sorrow in your look
That lovingness from those black sparkling eyes
Shivers the soul

Still you wait the return
The day to turn to a burning russet red
Where all rules are broken
For she who controls the past controls ..
The future

This afternoon all clocks went wrong

This afternoon the clocks suddenly stopped
My father had died
I watched his vision fade
I held his last breath

My heart cried for just one more moment
One more word
One more squeeze from his cold pale
Hand  

The house became silent
Only the tears of my broken mind
Falling
Gushing
Deafening
My thoughts of a cold empty world
I knew was my place  
Life was over

The weeks passed as minutes
The months as seconds
My days now blurred to a
Fuel filled haze of sorrow
Washed in alcohol that never cured
The hurt

This afternoon all clocks went wrong

And my inner flower blossomed
My world became afresh
My purpose was all to see
It was my time to be a father

My time to show my son
My time for love
To care
My time to show him
Life  
My time to show the lessons
A time for life
Begun

Alas the corner nears its bitter end
My wait is near complete
Twenty years have been
Waiting

My sunshine wakes
To eyes that love you more
My sunshine wakes
I love you
Love me all....!!!!!!!!!


I wait for your breath to fall
In my labyrinth of love
Touch my skin
Feel my heat burn you up
Wanting

My sunshine wakes
To eyes that love you more
My sunshine wakes
I love you
Love me all....!!!!!!!!!

Gold is the ring that holds us tight
A wish
Our love
A feeling Right

My sunshine wakes
To eyes that love you more
My sunshine wakes
I love you
Love me all....!!!!!!!!!

There is no end to this madness
A world without a heart
This place that we're called humans
Yet humane we are
We're not

How can we let it happen
Our rulers play us games
A risk
A lie
A maybe if
To let our children blame

So stop the bombs and scrap the bullet
It's us that make them all
Instead lets work on feeding life
And curing all the poor

It's us that turn our backs away
Yet yearn for news in frenzy
See breaking news and nod our heads
I am a prole

It's crazy

They fly around and tell us
To work and love the rules
When war is near upon us
We follow
Who's the fools

Why can we not talk peace again
Unite the world as one
Religion forms
Yet money rules
Where has the love all gone

I only want a peaceful life
I only get one chance
Denounce the rich and share this love
It's time we took control


Let Syria
Have a chance

Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight she held me tight
Tonight I danced with the Devil
A total lovers sight

She made me hold her closer
She made me laugh
I cried
Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight I danced all night

Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight she held me tight
Tonight I danced with the Devil
A total lovers sight

She took my hand and held me
What was I meant
To do
Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight I danced with you

Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight You held me tight
Tonight I danced with the Devil
A total lovers sight

You had me for your supper
Be-spelled is all
I am
Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight I'll be your life

Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight you took my soul  
Tonight I danced with the Devil
Blinded I'm the fool

Closer to the clouds I breath
As my heart lays near
The creaking door sounds another closure
Thankfully the blue blue sea welcomes my return

Baited to the full I wade beyond my depth
Waiting for your eyes to find me
I know your out there
You know I know
So please be gentle
I'm wounded and broke

See My only wish is to stay dry
To keep these tired and worn feet
on solid ground
To meet you
Stay with you
Live with you
Love you

Closer to the clouds I breath
Closer to the sun I feel  
A warmth that beats my heart
knowing your near
Lay with me
Love me
