I feel inspired when I read your poems
When I look outside
Or see the ocean
When my dog glares in to my eyes with love
And the other waits insistently for a fuss
When I rescue the bumble bee from the conservatory
And place him back on a blossoming tree
When the sun is shining down on me
And we hold hands
Reminiscing of those golden sands
Dreaming of adventure in foreign lands
I feel inspired from wise old words
Of Rumi, Dalai Lama and Shakespeare's verse
At times my sensitivity is a curse
It pains me to see suffering
My innocence diminishing
I can't harden to the harshness of a gluttonous world
Prioritised by numbers, income and yield
They say eyes are windows to the soul
The rest just shell and beating heart
My view from here is pretty **** smart
Life's to short to not get lost in art
Don't dwell in past pains and misery
When there's a great big beautiful world to see

Instinct, desire, life and fire
That burns higher
Consistently fuelled fools
Where there are no rules

I stand in the street
Designed to compete
Despaired by the heat
Of life’s teaching retreat

I’m not weak, I’m often wrong
I seek far from patients song
Appetite for adventure cravingly strong
Time and age not forever long

So take me, I’m here
I’m not living in fear
Lightening I see, thunder I hear
Everything that matters comes from in here

Leave my head in the clouds, where fantasy dreams are found

Let me float away, the hours of the day, where unrealistic thoughts can play

Allow me just today, to sink in to my mind, leaving reality far behind

Please give me the time and space, to witness the moon kindly take the suns place

Lighting up the blue night sky, stars humming a gentle lullaby

The beauty, the simplicity, as sun and day withdraw and moon and stars dance till dawn

Swifts soar in the ancient sky above me
Flapping wings to calls of freedom
I stop
Take in the watercolour sky
Brushes of wispy white
The sun glows bright
I hug my dog
I appreciate you
I appreciate the trees
And I appreciate the sounds of this evening

Look nowhere but within, for your spiritual highs, forgiveness and sin.
The saddest truth there is, your a commodity.
You're a consumer to the holy man who put a price on his wisdom.
And the teachings of the earth are so lost
That we pay for courses in the innate.
To know what we thought we never needed. And become who we thought we'd never be.
Isn't that ironic?
We're lost.
This human being.

Rolling hills of country green, patchwork stitched together with hedgerow precision offers such satisfaction with its squared off edges and nurturing bends
Trees climb the steepest points with ease and gravity fails as they stand proud
In the distance they almost reach the clouds
And today, if I jumped high I could reach them

You’ll never not be enough
Until you aren’t

As the sun sets
The leaf sits up
Open
trusting
Asking boldly
For the last light
This vulnerable leaf
Opens its heart
Instinctively surrendering
To love

Transcending this reality, this moment, this place
Conflict between the ego and the soul, and truth

God lives in you, and you, in god
She is nature, she is nourishment
We are one

Renounce these rules of man or die a slave
Be love, like breath, like waves

The night slipped away
Through my fingers
I lost all reason
I clung to rhyme
But the words were as fluid as water
Seeping back to crystal rivers
The moon desired one last look
I saw your eyes glisten
I lost gravity
Suspended, sporadic love
Reminiscent of your touch
Clusters of tiny stars
Cling to my skin
Even galaxies dream

Sentient, untameable love
You are not to be trapped, cut and dissected
You move inside of me every day
You float on bees wings
Penetrate radiance in flowers hue
Offer a sacred goddess in the form of the sun
Cultivate in nature’s nutrients
Reflect through his gentle suffering eyes

I can’t help but love you
And I have no reason for loving you
Except for the love you provoke
I reflect love in your name
The world is solar powered
Daydreaming of bare feet on the terrace
My love heightened for all things  
The ocean, the field, the patterns in the sky, the busying birds...
That list is endless
Like my love for you

She wrote love letters
To a lover never known
She dipped in ink and scribed the notes
With all the things she loved
About a lover never known

I long for a love I’m yet to meet
‘Cause the one I’ve lost has broken me
Love lies bleeding in my hands
Of memories and unfilled plans

My heart aches and my mind is numb
I’ve cried all night to the rising sun
My endless tears fall like Aprils rain
Mend my broken heart, I pray

The pain it just won’t go away
Melancholy floods my veins
I needed you to feel this pain
I needed you

Clinging to hope, to “one day, “soon”
I cemented my wounds with false promise
One day, some day, well, that didn’t come
We didn’t make it to the seaside

There was no more laughter
There was no more fun
I waited
I waited

The telephone doesn’t ring now
Your voice is left inside my head
With all your broken promises
With all the things you said

I waited
I waited

Time floats away but there’s no regret
I’ve read verses of trees, of hope, of contentment
I shed a tear, or more, words can have that effect
I am blessed with your gift of words
You were granted death
My thoughts are sad but light, you lived a full and grateful life
Your departing year matched my arrival
I hope for your future, spread on wings
And you feel light breeze among those beloved trees

Fire burns with deep, hot desire
Of molten lava
Bubbling with curious sin

Climb in to my salivating mind
I'll meet you on the other side
Where lust and hunger linger

Hungry for your hidden thoughts
Do you share my ravenous crave
Lusting to taste the dew on your skin
Your potent drink I timely save

Intoxicated trembles arouse my body and my brain...
I should really learn to behave

Moving so softly as though my petals may fall, I let you continue on your delicate journey
Walking through my garden in bloom, you nourish me
You take the long way round and linger, till daylight is no more
Only by moonlight I see your lips trace mine, pinkness entwined
Inhaling floral scents with quickened breath

It’s zero hundred hours on the 1st of July
I’m alone with the truth of silence
There is something to be said for stoicism, for getting on
My soul longs to release a river of tears
I focus on the light patterns
Across my dated artex ceiling
Rays of light like sunbeams
Through my 70s style, wicker light shade
I wonder about the lonely households
All the broken hearts
The ones regretting
And the ones taking it all for granted
Melancholy surrounds me like an aura
And spreads under my skin

I crave the crisp,
The soft contradiction
The woody smell of nature
Of earth
Your words
In ink
Drip from your skin
A moment
In time
A part of your mind
And it fills me up momentarily

I'm jotting down words like there's no tomorrow
My minds thinking fast my hands trying to follow
I have so much that I need to say
But your intoxication led me astray
Not because I know your face or name
But the words you speak seep out through your veins
Those words remind me of a lovely lyric
"Oh I've got lightning in my veins"
By the great Rod Stewart
They aren't the best words in the song
"The rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum, with the words I love you rolling off my tongue"
Now they're the ones that get me every time
Turned up loud feeling the vibe, aching from the passion inside

Just as Elton performs his greatest intro
I listen to beat and it's you that I'm in to
The grand piano and the piano man connect as one
Just a mans feelings and an instrumental being, create the birth of a new beginning, a musical feeling has the listener stealing his emotional dealings

Funeral For A Friend / Song For Guy
This song has two titles, I think I know why
The music tells a story and the lyrics can't lie, Guy must've been one hell of a guy
If love lies bleeding in his hands and Elton John's one of his biggest fans

So,
I guess it isn't just me
Who cant find the words so lyrically
For This Song Has No Title, is another one
Maybe he wrote it emotionally numb
Or maybe there just aren't the words to express, the way the music beats powerful and strong through his chest
So this song has no title just words and a tune, I'll keep on writing by light of the moon

Those visceral notes
Aloof, complicated
Feelings, art
Distant lover
Forever touch
Trust

My mind the forest
My friend the Forest

Enticing stranger
Complexities, lust
Anxieties, but
Never enough
Changes,
Longing

My mind the forest
My friend the Forest

Your lips are wine
Seductive
I want to savour this taste
I'm dizzy
I'm drunk
Let your lips take control
Of my body
My mind
My imagination

Your eyes sparkle like the ocean
Captivating eternity
So soft yet wild
I want to dive in the depths
And not touch the bottom

Your smile
It's everything
It's passion
Inspiration
The arousal of butterflies
It's travel and language and food
Art and nature, words, and song
It's everything I love
The world would be better
If you smiled forever

Should I seek a god
Of which my faith is far convinced
For answers to questions I’ve not yet worked out
I look to you, the only thing in which I trust
And go to the pull of the natural tug
So maybe answers aren’t needed nor questions either
Though the head may disagree
A heart forced to pound it’s plea
What you do with love comes naturally

Poetic grace angelic flow
Nurturing arms forever grow
Beauty so stunning an aura so unknowingly cunning
Divided by deep eternal love and untamed frustration
Her passion extreme and strong
Her eyes fierce and feral
Her heart pours an everlasting hope that the next day will be better than the last
Make no mistake, once under her spell there's no undoing
You wouldn't leave if you could
The hold isn't by shackles or ties
But by the purist air you could ever breathe
The crystal waterfall that caressed your lips
Wild lush meadows of floral bloom
Darkness of the sky and warmth of the moon

Nothing lasts forever
I can’t bear those three words
Truth is acceptance
That endings are inevitable
My dog won’t always greet me
You won’t always bring my morning tea
Comforts and consistencies have to end somewhere
Though I know this to be true
It scares me
I’m still frozen with gut-wrenched dread
At the inescapable
Though I wholeheartedly know
Nothing lasts forever

Your smile is more
Than a craving
Of a sugary quick fix
It’s as essential
To my survival
As water
And food
