Oh, how I want this moment to last
must I consign it to my past
Can I savour its mystery
before it becomes history

I’m holding it tight in my brain
replaying it again and again

I’ll have to let it go
a nice memory, I know
It is with sadness
I let this moment pass

a beautiful face
fades with the decades
there’s no beauty compared to what we hide
cushioned and treasured inside-


the tears we’ve cried
the people who’ve died
the times we’ve tried
the dreams we’ve aspired
the friends we’ve carried-


a beautiful personality
lasts for eternity

An angel riding on my shoulder
making me braver, bolder
protecting me in times of woe
don’t ever want him to go

An angel brushing cares away
he’s with me every single day
keeping me centered with his touch
my naughty thoughts make him blush

An angel whispering in my ear
consoling away every fear
he helps me stay calm and steady
always alert, ever-ready

An angel I don’t recognise
couldn’t tell you his shape or size
I’ll meet him properly some day
“Oh, I know you” I’ll say

You can put a book down

it won’t cry

You can put it on a shelf

it doesn’t feel lonely

You can share it with friends

it doesn’t feel abused

If you laugh at what’s inside

it won’t feel used

A book no matter how long closed

can always be reopened

Don’t judge them by their cover

some are better than a lover

The eyes always my first point of contact
Can make my heart contract
They can make me foolishly act
that’s a known fact

It’s not a smile
that will me beguile
but a twinkle in an eye
that I espy

They say eyes are the reflections of the soul
maybe that can explain to me their romantic role
A wink, a blink can make my confidence rise or sink
I lose all ability to think

If you like me stare, flirt, emphasise
whatever you want just use your eyes
They have the power to hypnotise
