Embracing Senses
Jem Farmer Nov 2013
Have you ever been kissed by the one girl?
The only girl who claimed to steal your heart
As your mouth dried to dust, your brain a swirl
Of all the things you thought of as love’s art.
And there she’s stood, just waiting in the rain,
Her honeyed lips moistened to glossy shine,
And your soul takes that leap of faith again
Embracing senses spreading like a vine.

Concession
Jem Farmer Nov 2013
Just sitting here alone with naught around
But quaking ducks and loaves of bread to break
A breath of wind that fails to bring a sound
Yet gently shivers autumn leaves to shake.
I search the path that led me down to here
My heart that longs to see you drawing near
The chance you found your way to follow me
But knowing deep inside it cannot be.
Yet darling I’m not touched by loveless fear
Although distance may seem a fierce frontier
It is your love that brings me all I need
And gives me strength to see the future through
There is one small thing I must now concede
When we are apart, baby, I miss you!
