Congratulations
you made it through to Sunday
the last chance to have any fun day
before the dreaded Monday.

It's a glorious shade of grey outside
but that's okay.

I haven't yet checked the lottery
if we win
that's the last you'll see of me.

Lots to do
so
got to go

yeah, I know
thank God for that.

If you could put it in the air,
Would you?
Like swans in the sky,
Beauty surrounds me
Because you’re here
And nothing could ever feel more real
More important
More solid
More authentic
Yet so ethereal
As when you fall into my arms again
Even knowing it’s temporary
Doesn’t take a thing away from all this

Like swans in the sky,
Beauty is above me
Because you’re on top of me
And nothing could ever feel more real
Than your fingers running through my hair
And all of you
Wrapped up in my arms’ ink
Only half ashamed.
But this moment is fading
There’s silence now.
And a question devastates me,
“If you could put it in the air
Would you?”

Like swans in the sky.

I still pen the end
In elusive conclusions
Await to be mated
To lovely illusions
Entombed in her absence
Submerged in the flows
But exhumed from sepulchers
Too grim to expose
So diverged from the path
She prefers it to go
And when she doesn’t answer
No more I need know
Just proceed to my ritual
Silence forlorn
Like she’s already dead
And I can
Never mourn
Just lament the unsaid
Full of dread
She cares not
All these songs in my head
But to play them
Forgot

Palestine.

You'll never be
Alone the good
People around
The world will
Open there heart's
To you and see
The evil every
Day that's truly
Killing you.
Lord Jesus Christ
We pray for the
Palestinians who
Are murdered by
Evil every
Day and night.

You bent the truth, and I 
attempted to straighten it out, 
but y­ou prevailed because 
twisted things never fully
straighten out.

Oh, the decisions of the heart.
       To live without your voice,
                 or let it tear me apart.

there was so much I wanted to know about you
so much I wanted to hear from you
so much I wanted to discover with you
and so much love I wanted to give you

but timing wasn’t quite the helper
it destroyed the grounds we made

if I loved you a little lesser
maybe you’d have stayed

to overcome my bitter
I begged for your image to fade

and hating you wasn’t simple
since loving you opened my cage

I know you feel it too
so open my violet letter
and even though we won’t be together
it was sincere what we lived through

I learnt to welcome the future
eagerly
but not expect anything
as reality isn’t a fantasy
but fantasies could be
the reality I see
