Like Fine Wine,

my thoughts are caught in a bottle....

And I do not have a corkscrew!!!
When the angels come
When the angels come I will be waiting.
My time to reach the gates to heaven
I will not shed a tear for he will be waiting for me.
I will walk with those that left before me.
In the joy of heaven, the angels will come together to see me.
So don't cry. I will meet you when the angels come.
Then side by side we will walk the streets of heaven
And we will get our wings so we can be one of the angels that come for those who wait.

I saw you fall asleep
amidst a garden of stars,
underneath a moon
that if I looked closer,
would realise was just
as bright as your eyes,
and I found my favourite
constellation running
across your collarbones
and down along your chest,
and somewhere in between
all of that,
it collided with planets
that would never have
looked so beautiful
if I had seen them on someone else.
When I looked at you,
I found myself wondering
how a person could look
like that,
like they were the galaxy,
a galaxy so pretty that
for a moment,
the air left my lungs.
aware of the hard tangle
i decided id better be off just cutting losses
picked up what she had left of me
what the vultures hadn't picked clean
and walked into the forevermore
but it felt good to have nothing left to steal
nobody questions your deal

found myself a stranger in a strange land
and nothing but a humble song to guide
nothing but the smile to provide
learn yourself the difference real quick
tween what you got and the next friendly face
and how long the two last
gone like a sparkle in the sun
but it felt good to have nothing left to steal
nobody questions your deal

gonna write me a new song to sing
one that wont lead me into the darker thinkin
one that speaks to the real road ya gotta travel
one that has lovers with loves to share
and all thouse who care
cause the real treasure is the smile uncovered
in the hands of a soul who really wants to know your name
i got nothing left of the old me
but it feels good to have nothing left to steal
nobody gonna question my deal
Many moons ago so dwelt a heart,
Once loved in a fantasy,
once lived in the same fruity location,
lives there no more,

If I could see me in your bed,
if I could get inside your head,
or under your skin,
there maybe a chance,
that we could tango in the night time.

The stars might bravely dance for us,
and if they dared to try,
the moon may smile,
the flowers may open wide,
the days may be jolly,
the outlook bright.

But,
I can feel nothing,
not even a drop in the ocean,
the ocean of life.

So,
still I sit ,
I sit here,
here in my insular world,
the world of my space.

For the first time ever,
this feeling is grand,
a million dollars,
and the prime part of my space,
is that it's mine,
mine and mine alone.

Unless by weird profound attraction,
by chemistry in invention,
maybe,
just maybe,
if by chance,
I can envisage myself curled up in your bed,
then chance and I may take a gamble.

Now is not the time,
for me and anyone.
This love bird's flying free.

Young lady,
she sat,
she was waiting in vain,
as the sun went down.
she needed a new set of lungs,

She waited and waited,
but, then she succumbed,
death caught her,
it was so cruel,
she was young and stunning,

Her husband painted brilliance,
her life not to be forgot,her husband painted brilliance,
her life not to be forgot,
this poet was inspired,
by another sort of art.
This week in July.
is national transplant week,

This young lady's life could have been saved,
if only another's tragic passing,
could have left the gift of life.
Sadly for her it was too late.

Her husband has created a gallery of beautiful art work in her memory.
