TO THE END

TO THE END

True love will last till the end

I’ll protect you from the storms

The rocking and rolling waves

I’ll be with you till the end

If the storms get too much

I cradle you in these arms

Gently rock you

We’ll watch the ever never ending

Sunrises, sunrises

The ever never ending suns going down

We’ll watch the moons rising, subsiding

Rising, subsiding

Dawn to dusk

Dusk to dawn

My heart is yours

My heart wants to be with you

All I want is to give you the best of my love

Let’s keep our eyes to the horizon

And let’s make this love last longer

Forever, forever more

I just don’t want to let go

Let you go

Let you go

Let’s show each other the way

The way to go

The way to go

The way forward

I want to watch you silently breathing

Never wanting to leave you

Oh babe I just cannot get enough of you

Oh babe let me be

You’re night and day

Day and night

To the end

Let’s not let this end

I’ll always be here and there for you

For always be in your arms

Where you’ll never come to any harm

Let this be the beginning

Without any ending

I’ll wipe every tear

Calm your fears

Throughout the weeks

Throughout the months

Throughout the years

Let this be throughout our lives

And you’ll always have my promises

Never to be broken

Let this love flow

Just like a river

Just like the oceans tides

Far and wide

Deep, deep and deeper

To the end

To the end of our days

To the end

I STAND AND WAIT

I STAND AND WAIT

Upon this shores gate

This wide expanse that is filled with waste

It stretches beyond the lands and hands

Those have laid their hands upon

Looked upon

Walked upon these sands

Whilst I am here standing and waiting

I look out to the distance

The waves rising and falling

Just like our love

Never knowing whether we are

Coming and going

Just like two passing ships in the night

For a short while you are here

Oh such bliss I can hear

This heart has been touched

So very, very much

It is so hard when we depart

It tears this heart

So wide apart

Oh this aching, aching heart!

The absolute sheer ecstasy

The thrill so bliss

The excitement with your kiss

The passion in your touch

Oh the love I feel so much

The happiness that we feel

A happiness that feels surreal

The pleasure and the pain!

What more can we gain?

You have me in a trance

 With just one glance

Come back my lover!

LOST AND FOUND

LOST AND FOUND

There was a time that I’d lost you

Lost you in time and space

It was a time that you erased

Erased, eradicated me from your life

You captured this heart then tore it apart

My heart felt so battered and bruised

And all you ever wanted was to be my muse

I sure as hell was not amused

How did I not see the being used?

How did I lose myself with you?

How much did I lose?

One hell of a lot

So here I am in the lost and found

There is no sound

Just an empty, empty silence

The wind howling

I’m trying not to scowl

Picture perfect face

With not a trace

Yet there is a trace

Right here, right here

So very, very near

My eyes so sore with crying

Inside feels like I am dying

The log fire is burning away here

But not bringing any cheer

The sun outside shining so clear

Yet within me it is so, so dull

The light and the life

That was so evidently here

Has gone, gone

And here I sit alone

Tempting it might be

Tempting it could be

To go outside

There are too many memories

Out there!

Where we both used to care

You made me believe

That we were so, so true

Through and through

So how can it be so wrong?

Wrong, wrong

To feel so blue

Through and through

I fell for you like a stone

Now I feel like a cold, cold stone

The whole world seems so cold

There is no warmth out there

And here also

Every room empty

Filled with emptiness

Your memories, your ghost

Still exists

I’m so lost and yet to be found

Given time and space

It will happen!

All that is needed, required

Is to find myself

And get off the shelf

Get off the floor

Out of this solitary existence

But not just yet

This bird will fly

As time passes by

From this subsistence

BLOWING HEAVENLY BLISS

BLOWING HEAVENLY BLISS

With an open hand from heaven

I blow you this kiss

With loads of happiness

The pleasure I get to give you

For each and every one of you

It comes with much blessedness

For the whole day through

I see you below

Watching the sky, moon and stars

And all the planets too

Ribbons of light and colours

Purples, blues, oranges, green

All wrapped and snuggled for you

The flowers billowing, fluttering their petals

Oh look they are waving too

The birds in the sky, flying high

Flapping their wings in tune with the breeze

So for now I must say bye, bye

And wish you all a merry day

MESSAGES FROM AFAR

MESSAGES FROM AFAR

On golden wings spread so wide

The dove and messenger flies by

It brings forth peace, love and happiness

Its graceful wings flapping without ease

The dove flies to the fair maiden

He has a message for her from lands far away

She holds out her hand so gracefully

So gently

And there before her eyes she sees

A boat afloat there in the distant seas

In the wings of the dove

The sun a glowing, shining brightly

The sea glimmering, shimmering so beautifully

The mountains as the background scenery

Tall and standing so strong

White snow peaks

All around in the sky are shooting stars

Stars to make a wish upon

Twinkling, blinking, shimmering

Every one of them flickering a message from the heavens above

Puffy white clouds scudding by

Oh why?

This is a starry, starry night!

But here anything can happen in a wondrous world like this

So full of happiness and bliss

A place of mystery, mysteries

Fairy tales and mystical stories
