Love : No More Falling

No more falling

The time for falling is long since past

The look for love, just a mirage?

Gazing out into the light

It’s you I see, no shadow

So walk with me along the track

Towards the end where we will be

Together looking forwards and not back

Happy in entwined arms you and me

Life : Perfection

Perfection I Am

Tiptoes stretching to my star

My body taught, like bowstring long

Eyes closed, sunshine from afar

Silence broken only by Angel’s song

Warmth a plenty upon my face

I take my breath before my leap

Into your heart, I am your grace

The treasure I am, for you to reap ©

Life ; Sherlock

Sherlock

(Inspired by Jack Vettriano; Heartbreak Hotel  ©)

Door locked shut, town-sounds shut out

He slumps in leather, the time approaches

Vial in case, syringe to shout

The day is done, no clattering coaches.

Tiredness drifts onwards, the strings are taught

Chemicals to take him out to sea

Dragging bow, will he be caught?

                                 Will they believe he’s really me?

Life : The Simplest Things

The Simplest things

Seem so hard to say

Because life really is not clear

I guess were not actually made that way

We so easily screw up those we hold dear.

Not for wanting to say it so

But just because it hurts that much

To bare your heart, so they will know

What its like, to have had someone else’s touch.

Lust : Just Red

Just Red

Before me red in basque and silk

Touching,taunting, girl of the night

For money not love you dress to kill

Till dawn light peeks thro curtains not right

Lipstick perfect, now and again

You dress in silence, covering red

So wanted wanton, no refrain

Giving not refraining, never back to bed

Love : Hiding Places

 Hiding places

You let me inside, so near

That I could not help myself be

Drawn into your hiding place, no fear

Of anything, like endless sky, you had the key

To a corner to ask, that reason why

You needed me there, alone with you

Inside that place, you once did cry

But now no more, that corner is through

Love : Searching

Searching

Quietly watching rain on wood

Sharing tomorrow for what it would

Feeling lost, the world so fine

It takes one voice to make it sure

No longer safe it feels so charged

With danger ever present not so far

Incessant never stopping, like wave on shore

Unsure I can feel you any more

Heroine charge, emotion high

Like wings of life, they scour the sky

Circling never falling, watching sound

I am the one that they have found

Looking for love for all its worth

Does that not forsake love on this earth?

To hold as mine with all its pain

I search outside I feel the rain,

Upon my face drips long and cool

No longer feeling life long fool

To believe in you my darling love

You are what I crave, what makes me move. ©

Love : Away from the path

Away from the path

Walk with me along the beach

Hand in hand, hearts entwined

Glistening sand, sunset within reach

Silently thinking, how was it you I found?

So walk with me, arm in arm

Along the beach, not away

To keep us safe and free from harm

For you to know and for me to say ©

Love : Colours

Colours

(Inspired by Jack Vettriano “Family Business) ©

I f you were a colour

What would you be?

In the starlight warmth

Of a candlelit sea.

Radiant heat, beauty falling,

Upon my gaze so fine.

I look into your eyes, they’re calling out loud,

All is calm, you are mine.

Love : Scar on My Heart

Scar on my heart ©

Water cold around my body taught

Pulling down, cold my skin

Pressure rising I must not sleep

Heart pumping fast it must not stop

So deep now wonderful blue

Angels singing, pull me down

Can I find you, will you be there?

Touching the bottom, seeds I have sown.

Like truth, my mask

Clamped tight, keeps me safe

Pulled free in a moment

Vision at last, but scars to see

Looking into mirror who can I

See, smiling thro rays of sunshine

My love reaching down from the shaking sky

Touch my scar, heal dark corners in me

Breath free now, gaining life

Scar is healing but red to blue

Not the end just the start

Sounds of laughter take me to you

Scars universal, no favorites taken

In your mind they stay

But for one so nice to awaken

Sunbeam dreams keep them at bay

Lust : Reflections

Reflections ©

(Inspired by Jack Vettriano’s “Imperfect Past”)

Past reflects on silver screen

Caught on film, yes truly caught

Forever in chains or it will be seen

Owned by one, and worth but nought

Made to watch those bleak desires

Cold light of day, what have you done?

To late to change like funeral pyres

Keep quiet play on, or he’ll know he’s won

Love : Girl By The Sea

Girl by the sea ©

As I watched you sitting there

By table restaurant loud

How could I do, how could I care

To sit next to you, amongst the crowd

Panoramic vista, waves and sky

Bracing wind it races thro

Your flaxen hair as we pass by

The dunes of change, with grass so sharp,

I did sit next to you 

(inspired by Jack Vettriano's "Morning News")

Love : in You

In you

Is there a place for me in you?

No matter where you stay

So long as you truly want me to

I can be there, what do you say?

Ready to say that you wash over me

Smooth waters run deep, don’t they?

So be there, right where I can see

There is a place, there is a way.

Love : Snow

Snow

Crisp and bright the morning breaks

The crumpled sheets of cotton show

Of entwined bodies, I take a glance

Your softly sleeping curves I know.

Windows open, fresh glides in

To wake you gently, caress your face

I lean to you and kiss your skin

So soft and pale a special place.

Outside now in Barbour wrapt

Thick soled boots to kick the snow

We walk in breathless thoughts to harbour

Of our past night, it’s all we know.

To have so much we breathe no sound

We walk the hill to see the shades

Of palette art on trees abound

In awe of the beauty that we made
