1.

Your words drift into my sleep
Just bits and pieces, well
And fragments of you!

Are you close to salty tears
Or are you diving into sweet bliss?

Can you believe how Fate can fool the mind
And are you failing hopelessly to let go?

There must be a secret trail to your heart
Ever caught a rainbow (x3)
In your dreams . . . . tonight?

2.

You place your flowers in my hand
By now, I'm sure you know my heart is in your hands
Got so many demons, afraid to face 'em all
The only other way, is up (x3)

Come on and rise from sleep
You slumber way too deep
The day offers gems you cannot afford to miss!

Your gems lie dormant in the haven of your mind
Did you catch that whiff of me (x3)
As I stepped into your dreams? Instr.....

REFRAIN:
Why give just bits and pieces?
How are you coping, now the world is in your face?
Is that you just losin' your mind!
Doesn't mean you have to hide in your heart

This time, there's no strange getting away
'Cos it's old mad destiny-spinner at play!
Try to be happy, don't get caught in unreal thoughts
No escape in weaving webs

Falling down from heaven will take quite a while
'Cos paradise is way, way up!

Saving Grace

The problem with phantoms, rings so clear
Like fear, they don't just go away
The more is learnt of the world, the smaller it becomes
The less of open space is felt.

The mnemonist lives in a pretty tale
And heads the way off rocky shores
For, oft a fool will come along
And wilful, bash his mind on reef.

Spill then thee, cantankerous spirit
Thy guts of ill-placed rancour
For in puny efforts to uproot
Fresh soil turned is...fresh soil turned.

The more we feed on empty words
The larger grows that aching void
Engulfing all but esurience
Engorged thus, thee will choke.

A mere gesture of goodwill
And extending act of kindness
Will conquer every wicked sentiment
And leave thee broken ... in thy own mess.

So, thy tiresome pictures on the wall, we see
Paint on, dear artist, paint on
These very merry parties, ye assemble
Will ken thy sharp and twisted ire.

Push on, weary soul, try to find thy heart
Thee seest not thy efforts fall in vain,
Fail to latch, for thy error sits too tall
In the absence of saving grace.

So caught up in thyself, art thee
Thine eye too bright upon the prize
That thou did not see thy plot at play
Thy goest yet on; breaching full redemption.

Weave thus thy tale and clothe thy mind
For, in this act, thy mind doth shut
So ill-fitting thy own garish attire
Seams must needs split eventual.

Seeketh truth and truest, thy find's a trove
But sadder yet's the day, indeed
All vouch that in thy heavy plunder
Its value now plain conferred.

Treasure trinkets, happy hoops
Whatever be thy favour's currency
When day is done and swift sea smoothes
Revered will always be...saving grace.

(A dedication and heartfelt thanks to the mercy of TRUE amity....so rare :-)
(Yet, when recognising falseness in others, deal it ...blows of kindness!)

That feeling again

Behind you, sits your lover
          Sitting up behind you.
          They say that behind every great man
Sits an even greater woman.

Oh, what a feeling!
Inside....
That feeling again....

This Friday morning's turned to be
         Flying on wings with eyes closed.
         Are the mocking gods piling on gifts?
Or is this just a ****** trick .... (again)...?

Oh......
What a feeling....inside!
Feeling, oh yeah, I've got to have it again.

Now cruising on a Tuesday evening;
          No need for shades tonight.
          No need to hide the eyes; I see you
For baby, you know it is.....

That feeling again!
That feeling....oh yeah, I've got to have it again.

All along

Take your time to find yourself
And listen to your heart.

You'll find the Light you've been looking for
Was there all along
Yes, the Light you've been looking for
Was there all along.

So, look inside yourself
Believe in what you feel.

You'll find the Light you've been looking for
Was there all along
Yes, the Light you've been looking for
Was there all along.

Refrain:
You've been pushing yourself aside too long
Let me tell you
Oh, let me tell you, oh yeah.....

Take your time to find yourself
And listen to your heart.

You'll find the Light that you're looking for
Is there all along
Yes, the Light that you're looking for
Is there all along . . . .

Reflections in a glass

I'll reach that midnight train first
A surreal journey, too uncanny
Wonder how the heck I got here
All *******, yet sought release . . . .

So many passages, so many trails
I follow you down every ambiguous path
Oh dear, will I get lost in this?
In which warren will I find you hiding?

I tie tape across your red mouth
Make you walk an unsteady plank
Across a deep chasm of unknown
Don't slip now or dare scream out!

In glass, reflected in the sun
You look at me and smile oh-so sweet
But refracted light splits up and breaks
Now you think I'm someone else . . . .

Am getting off this Roundabout
Too draining for my psyche
Ah, shoulda figured the universe owes me
A massive kick in the teeth, alas!

You're makin' jam, and I'm so nuts 'bout you
We are sandwiched together, just you and me
But small consolation prize....is all you see
Bicycle has TWO wheels, for a reason!

You want me to stop.
As you stand, hands tied behind your back.
As i stand so so close to you, would you look away . . . .
Would you want me to stop? Ok. I'll stop . . . . no, please!

Shhh, now now....easy now....hush, baby
Think I'll stuff yer ******* into your mouth
And fire away the ready rockets inside you
Come, baby....please feel what's in my pocket . . . .

See through the window of your soul
Don't fret now, I won't judge at all
Come closer, let me feel your heat
You're giving just what I need right now.

I'm making you feel all kindsa things
Yet you fear to utter what they are
So scared you are, I wonder why
Oi, no running in the hallways here!

Clouds at last, I see you now
Oh, the pretty pictures that you paint
On the waiting canvass of my thoughts
In such bright and vivid repartee.

Can you feel me, baby? Here I am...
Heavy love hanging in the late hours
Feel me now...I know you can feel me
Slide my sword into your sheath . . . .

See you peep still through the window of my mind
Nose pressed against the glass
Lucky to live half a lifetime in an afternoon
We leave soft, grey messages in the sand.

Still wonder how we ever got here
You're so open and so giving
Loved ones often kick a gift horse down
They see not wonders of the gem, all hid.

So, I have a thing I want to know
Now, what is it you really want?
Cos, you were once in love; so deeply fooled
Carried away by reflections in a glass . . . .

No need anymore.....

Are you there for me?
Are you calling me?
So, are you there for me?
Will you wait for me?

Will you welcome me?
Yes, will you welcome me?
Oh, will you welcome me-ee-ee-EEE?

Will you please guide me to the Light?
Help me emerge.....
Oh, let me not melt away (into darkness)
Shake off the shackles, shake off the shackles!

Chorus:
Let beauty and Light suffuse my being
For I'm really so tired.......of the pain.

No more tears. No more pain.
No need anymore.

No more suffering. No more judgement.
No need anymore (for anything).

No need to worry. No more cold words.
No more swallowing.
No need anymore.

I can see the sun in your eyes
As a beacon to the Lost.
Near the edge of eternal cliff, oh-oh-oh
Be my Lighthouse, be my Lighthouse! ...repeat chorus

Refrain:
Am I willing this time, to step out?
Am I ready to go all the way-ay?

Have you been helping me?
Oh, have you been helping me-ee-ee-EEE?

Who's gonna hold my hand
When the coldness sets in?
For I'm really so tired.....
Oh, no-o-o-oh! ......repeat chorus

So, are you there for me?
Are you calling me?
Oh, are you there for me?
Will you wait for me?

Will you welcome me?
Yes, will you welcome me?
Oh, will you welcome me.......?

Only Angel

Only Angel

Don't you run away;
You're running from your only saviour
Don't you know you're looking into the eyes
Of the only angel on your road?

This is the only time;
You gotta find your light on your way
You're never, no, you're never...
Never gonna find another angel on your road.

Baby, don't you know you're turning away from the Light
You're never gonna have this chance no more
Don't you know you're looking into the eyes
Oh G-d, you gotta move that bad from your door!

Don't you turn away;
Don't you go on spitting
In the face of an angel
Never gonna find another angel in your road

Refrain (spoken):

May the Light shine in any dark corner of your heart
And banish all negative, weak thoughts.

May your steps still be ever-so gentle
On the sometimes tricky path of life.

Seek not always activity to stop the gaps
They are the breathing spaces meant for peace and inner dwelling.

Water your little flowers on the arid plain of Life
For I see them blossom in your eyes.

It's hard to fix a broken road
So step out and carve out a new way.

Feel. Really feel the pain and chase it not.
It is not the foe, just a momentary spot of too-bright light.

The real enemy sits in your midst
Lingers on your fears and blots out your sun.....

It is thought.
Too much of it can **** a man!

Mind you keep the untame drivel well clear of your heart
Lest you wish a choking visit.

Be real with yourself
And be kinder to your spirit.

Battle not too sore with the winds
As your silver light shows you the way to a purer, clearer life.

May the stars of tranquil dawn usher calm
And soothe your battered soul.

Ask not for obstacles to be removed
They are for learning and teaching; progress.

Pray instead for safety, health and dignity
And hang onto that necklace of peace.

True amity is such that having never yet met
We can embrace in kindred spirit.

Have the heart to welcome a stranded soul
And spare anyone lame excuses.

Lessons await you patiently
Neglect none; accept or pay dear.

Take time to discover yet....the REAL you.
Enlightenment is tough work!

Peace to you, dear friend.

(Dedicated to Esme Ruth)
