A DREAM THAT HAS PASSED ME BY

A DREAM THAT HAS PASSED ME BY

A dream that I thought would come true

All the way through

So real, so true

Has escaped, I never gave it a chance

There was a glance

A very short glimpse but then was it a trance

Like state

Seemed so surreal

Bizarre, macabre

Sending shivers down my spine

That glimmer of sunrays

As I walk this lonely, lonely shoreline

I still see your face

Smiling sweetly

Or was that a sneer or a snigger?

Smirk with a hint of a

‘You’re a jerk’

 Laughing stock of this race?

Well jerk how does it feel to be laughing on the other side of your face now?

That seven year itch is a bitch

But this woman is worth more than that BITCH

The lighthouse maybe in darkness now

But way deep, deep inside there is a beacon

Shining its light forth

Round and round

Backwards and forwards

I’m no lost soul

Heck are you kidding that I would lose that once more

You may snigger

Titter and chuckle

But guess who has the last word

And snigger, titter, and chuckle

I guess right now you may be thinking

She’ll be back, she always does

Oh jerks take a long, long look at your disgrace

The one user that will always escape

But in time, give it time

Guess who wins this battle of the wills

I WILL

So I walk this shoreline

Its beauty holds it all

I feel it, breathe it

Awakening with time

Sun shining

YOU STRUMMED

YOU STRUMMED

You strummed every part of me

Your tender touch

That meant so much

All those memories played

Like a never ending song

That goes on for so long

A song that I thought would never end

And here I am going round and round

That never ending bend

I thought that I belonged to you

I thought that you loved me!

And here I sit

Feeling like shit

You were my temptation

My sensation

Now you want me back!

All because of what she lacked

Your temptress

With her long, long tresses

Do I need you back?

After all your betrayal

Strumming her

Whilst strumming me

I do not think so!

I’ll keep my memories

Of our love forlorn

Your guitar

Will stay with me

Not as a memory

But a new memory

A new tune that I’ll make

YOU ARE NOW A HOPE

YOU ARE NOW A HOPE

My hope that will spring eternal

An eternal love

Hoping that it will be from above

It’ll arrive no matter the weather

It’ll never be too late

I’m willing to wait

I’m hoping you’re around soon

Cos I’ll travel to the moon

And hope you will too

And that you’ll be so good for me

And that I’ll be good for you to

At times I never know who I am

A complete stranger

Please don’t be that stranger

We all want the same thing!

We all wish for the same thing

We all hope for the same thing

We’re all looking for the same thing

A love, a love

The greatest of loves

I’m dreaming the same thing

Love, love

Come what may we shall meet

In the right time

In the right place

Hope, hope, hope

I go weak in the knees

Hoping, hoping

That you’ll never pass me by in this torrent of rain

Not seeing where you are going

But where we are going

Hoping, hoping

I FEEL SO DEEPLY

I FEEL SO DEEPLY

Maybe too deeply

In my memories where love was so, so true

It was just me and you

We fell so deeply

Swallowed in each other’s rivers, streams and oceans

A passion so real that you always said

“So surreal”

“I want, need more of you”

“I want to dive into your oceans”

You pull me into your arms

I begin to breathe

You are my half of this world

You are my sun

And our lives have just begun

And I never want this to end

Even though it sends others round the bend

But we let them go

When you are not here it seems half my world is gone

We loathe the separation

Desperation

Our misery, our despondency

There is no calmness in this ocean of mine

The tempest, your temptress

Is seeking you out

Across this high, high tall buildings roof top

I shout!

But you do not hear

I so wish that you were near

My one and only soul provider

Gift of my eternal love

Gift of my eternal trust

Gift of my eternal life time

Gift of my heart and soul

Oh how I love and adore you

All that I say and do is so, so true

Come to this dock where we lock

Hand in hand

Body to body

Closing the world off

Our own world
