And Your Bird Can Sing
Simon Clark Aug 2012
(Song title from The Beatles’ catalogue, by Lennon/McCartney)

I dream of a day,
A far off place where we’re together,
Your hand would be held in mine,
And your bird can sing its song,
Aloud.

Looking Forward
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Looking forward to Friday,
That is when we next shall meet,
In a café or at a movie,
In my mind or on the street.

Looking forward to Monday,
That is when we next shall hold,
In an embrace or in a muddle,
In my home far from the cold.

Finding You
Simon Clark Aug 2012
I never looked,
I never searched,
For i never thought I'd find,
But then i looked,
And then i saw,
What i never thought I'd find.

Finding you is finding hope,
Finding love and living dreams,
You hold me close,
I feel your heart,
You ******* lips,
Hope we won't part,
Finding you is finding me,
Finding you is finding love.

I never looked,
I never searched,
For i never thought I'd find,
But then i looked,
And then i saw,
More than i dreamed i would find.

Beyond The Dream
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Beyond the dream is a place,
A land of gold,
A world of imagination,
Created beyond a dreamers conscious.

Beyond the dream I am gone,
I'm gone today,
To go to invention,
And become a castle of photos - smiling faces.

Beyond the drum,
Beyond the harp,
Beyond the lonely whistle,
Beyond the dream,
Beyond the thought,
Beyond the frightened nightmare.

Your Palace
Simon Clark Aug 2012
My heart is aflame,
It beats out your name,
In the dark I hear it calling,
I ask you to love me,
And you take my hand in yours,
And draw me to the doors,
You lead me to your palace and make love to me at night,
We travel through the planets, exploring unique sights.

Throughout This Year
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Bombs can fall,
Skies can tumble,
Earth can shatter,
Mountains tumble,
I won't care as long as you are here,
Here this year,
This fresh, crisp New Year,
Be here this year,
With me my dear,
Stay near,
Never fear,
My path you'll steer,
Unafraid in the headlights like a deer,
Never shed a tear,
Throughout this year,
Be with me,
Near with me,
My dear with me,
This New Year with me.

The Butterfly
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Delicate,
Wings like patterned paper,
Reds, oranges and gold,
Yellows and greens in shades so bold,
Flicker like a fine flame,
Softly land upon my hand,
I want to feel you breathe,
Hear your thoughts of freedom,
Flutter by dear butterfly,
Flutter by.

Journey Of A Lifetime
Simon Clark Aug 2012
(Song title from “Aspects of Love” by Lloyd Webber, Black and Hart)

I’ve been on a journey of a lifetime with her,
She held my hand and I gripped hers,
My lips caressed her neck as with daylight she began to stir.

I’ve been on a journey of a lifetime with her,
She touched my *** and I loved hers,
I never now want to return to the way that things once were.

I Feel Fine
Simon Clark Aug 2012
(Song title from The Beatles’ catalogue, by Lennon/McCartney)

In isolation,
In the corner on my own,
Where night is over and day is gone,
I feel fine,
I feel fine because I know…
…that if I can dream…
….nothing will seem…
….as bad as the visions that I stare upon,
Where night is over and day is gone.

I Ran And I Ran
Simon Clark Aug 2012
The rain has fallen,
And dried my heart,
Turned it to stone,
While the dreamer floats,
And the dragon screams,
The planet turns,
And the soul feels cold.

I ran and I ran,
But I lost my course,
I ran and I ran,
And I found my home,
I ran and I ran,
And I saw myself,
I ran and I ran,
And I sold the light.

Steel Bars
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Surrounded by reasons I should stay,
I try to follow you,
I still burn for you,
Would turn for you,
Would break, bend and banish for you,
But steel bars hold me captive,
And no matter how much I cry,
How many times I crack and snap,
The rods of bitter steel stand up,
Proud against my raging.

Tomorrow Never Knows
Simon Clark Aug 2012
(Song title from The Beatles’ catalogue, by Lennon/McCartney)

Tomorrow never knows the sun,
For tomorrow never arrives,
Like watching the smoking gun,
When you are the one who’s died.

Tomorrow never knows the breeze,
For tomorrow never appears,
Like climbing the tallest trees,
When you’re older than your years.

Loneliness
Simon Clark Aug 2012
A sense of peaceful abandonment,
An emptiness,
A hollow shell full of isolation,
A place of refusal,
Refusing closest consolation,
A moment in life of loneliness.

A time for that painful reflection,
For recalling,
A crowded mind with nothing to think of,
A place to see your face,
See your face whatever I dream of,
A flash of time in life; loneliness.

Sorrow
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Sorrow,
Still tomorrow,
Unless I die,
Must get high,
Take a trip,
Pills I'm slipped.

Sorrow,
Something to borrow,
To make me smile,
For a brief while,
Feel like trash,
They paid ME cash.

Sorrow,
Sorrow,
Please take tomorrow.

My Prison
Simon Clark Aug 2012
My heart is my prison,

I let it lead,
I let it bring me to a ******,
I let it teach me how to bleed,
My heart is my prison,
My prison holds me still.

Spirit Rising
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Although all that remains is dust,
I feel your spirit rise above,
Though time has past and your plaque now rusts,
I feel your spirit rise above,
Now the funeral smoke has cleared,
I feel your spirit rising high,
Time now diminishes all I feared,
I feel your spirit rising high.

What Came First?
Simon Clark Aug 2012
What came first?
The chicken or the egg?
For a chicken surely requires an egg to be,
But without a chicken an egg can't be laid,
What a predicament!
Hard to understand,
That a chicken could walk this land,
Without an egg, yet it stands.

What came first?
Reason or logic?
For there to be a reason we need logic behind it,
But without reason we cannot logically think,
What a situation!
Hard to believe,
That reason could be conceived,
Without logic to retrieve.

Fallen Off My Feet
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Giving it all up to you,
Was easy,
Taking it all back inside,
Is so hard to do.

More distance and space,
Created a void,
I'm missing your face,
Feeling so destroyed.

Giving my love to your heart,
Was easy,
Taking it back for your mind,
Is so hard to start.

Less touching and heat,
Created a pain,
Fallen off my feet,
Crying in the rain.

The Sound of The Bells
Simon Clark Aug 2012
On a dark Christmas night,
In a house with a fire,
A little girl sleeps in her bed,
And wonders what might transpire,
In the distance she hears,
The sound of the bells coming near,
She stirs and turns for the window,
To make it easier to hear,
“It’s Father Christmas” she shouts, “He’s on his way”
“I can see him approach on his magnificent sleigh.”

The Memory
Simon Clark Aug 2012
With my eyes closed,
I can recall your touch,
I enjoy the memory,
The way we held on,
Held on so tenderly,
I enjoy the memory,
The times our lips met,
And your tongue melted me,
I enjoy the memory,
Recall the passion,
That look within your eyes,
I enjoy the memory...
...
...
...
...The memory is all I have.

How Much Longer?
Simon Clark Aug 2012
How much longer must I continue to live this lie?
The dishonest reasons of the passions in my life.
How much longer must I continue to tread this path?
The deceit of all those who will never know the half.

I can’t conceal myself,
I can’t deny my heart,
To dent the solid prism,
Is to tear my world apart.

How much longer must I continue to live this way?
The damaging letters from the men who make my days.
How much longer must I continue to walk this line?
The secret of my being I’ve hidden all this time.

Never Looking Up
Simon Clark Aug 2012
I sat on my piano stool,
Strumming my guitar,
I've composed hundreds of songs,
But none that took me far.

Notes just beyond my reach,
Still poured from my heart,
Upon the manuscript paper,
My words tearing me apart.

When i sing myself to sleep,
After draining my coffee cup,
I dream of sinking down to hell,
And never looking up.

Something Good
Simon Clark Aug 2012

Dare to do something good this time.

I'm Falling In Love
Simon Clark Aug 2012
You took me aside at the theatre,
We're meant to be rehearsing a play,
But then deep into my eyes you stared,
And my heart melted as i heard you say,
'I now find myself single and my heart is beating for you,
I feel like I'm falling in love - tell me, do you feel it too?'

My heart stopped and my breath was stolen,
I looked into your beautiful eyes,
Reached down and clasped your hand so tightly,
And then slowly i gave you my replies,
'I have wanted to hear you saying those words for far too long,
I feel like i'm falling in love - and this love is burning strong.'

Wrapped in birthday paper,
As we watch the clock strike midnight,
The calender changes,
Celebrate,

The good times,
The good times,

It's Not Been The Same
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Counted my blessings and counted my days,
Looked to the stars shrouded in purple haze,
Ran the mile long walk so i'd win the race,
But desolation on every corner struck my face,
Such is the season of my breaking heart,
But you deny you're taking part,
In the sin of killing my soul,
And i find myself shaded by the cover of the hole,
I dug in deep and found myself some strength,
But you were right there hurting me at length,
Love can be an evil and twisted game,
And since you left me here alone - it's not been the same.

Don't Take Me Yet
Simon Clark Aug 2012
I like to take risks,
Live on the edge of life,
I throw myself into tricks,
Danger fire, danger knife.

Don’t take me yet,
It can’t be time,
Don’t take me yet,
It can’t be time,
Don’t take me yet.

Walk on the wild side,
Plunge into life’s deep end,
Unfastened; ready to ride,
Danger curve, danger bend.

Don’t take me yet,
It can’t be time,
Don’t take me yet,
It can’t be time,
Don’t take me yet…

…Don’t take me yet.

In The Next Room
Simon Clark Aug 2012
How do you explain a death to the innocence of youth?
“An angel came from heaven,
And took him to a happier place.”

How do you explain a death to the innocence of youth?
“God took him from his pain,
He didn’t want him to suffer anymore.”

How do you explain a death to the innocence of youth?
“Freedom was always his aim,
Let him go now.”

How do you explain a death to the innocence of youth?
“He’s not far away you just can’t see him,
He’s waiting for us in the next room.”

How do you explain a death to the innocence of youth?
I say tell them with your heart,
Be honest, kind and stand by the truth.

Seconds
Simon Clark Aug 2012
I inhale the energy from the red clock,
Against the absent blackness of the wall,
A studio theatre,

Rehearsed each move to split second timing,
But all I’m left with are the seconds,
The fragments of a devastating show,
The performance of my life.

One Day In Your Life
Simon Clark Aug 2012
(Song title from Michael Jacksons’ catalogue, by Armand & S. Brown)

One day in your life you’ll understand,
You’ll know why I railed, rowed and raged,
You’ll see that my temper got out of hand.

One day in your life you’ll take me back,
You’ll open the door that was slammed,
You’ll begin to miss the love that you lack.

Father Time
Simon Clark Aug 2012
It feels as though someone has a stopwatch,
One for every person on earth,
Waiting, trigger-happy, to kick you in the crotch,
Show you just what you’re worth,
This Father Time has control over when we come and go,
He can choose the moment and the how,
And allows us to proceed with knowledge we don’t know,
Just make it quick and end the pain somehow.

After I Asked You
Simon Clark Aug 2012
Once I've been told,
My feelings will not enhance your world,
Should I move on?
Should I continue my course?
Should I freeze here?
Should I stay by your side?

Will our friendship suffer?
Will our happiness be compromised?
Will I lose your love?
More love than I already lost, I lost it!
I mislaid the passion,
Or were you just unwilling to give it?

A single moment spent with you.

Or see the damp patch on the ceiling,

Allow me freedom from this life, grant this one request,
Close my eyes once I’ve gone and let me fly away.

These are the precious fineries to keep,
Don’t squabble over the will I penned.
