THE MUSIC WASHING OVER ME

The Music Washing over me

I lay here in the quietness of the room

Listening and feeling

The rhythm of the music

That is over-powering my gloom

The sound so sweet

Beating with my every

Heart beat

Drowning the noise

That has been in my head

Since daybreak

Pulled this way and that way

A decision that has to be made

It can wait

Until day break

The music is now washing over me

Taking over my senses

Which needed to be cured

I can feel its embrace

Feeling the warmth and a

Mind being cured

I don’t want to lose this feeling

Feels so perfect and pure

A feeling of being so assured

Oh this is heaven I am feeling

My heart now beats with the music

Quiet, peaceful, slow but sure.

YOU CAME OUT OF THE NOWHERE

YOU CAME OUT OF

NOWHERE

You came out of the blue

You’ve coloured this life with such hue

You’ve shattered, tattered

This heart all apart

Just when it mattered

It was locked, bolted and barred

From a world so marred

But now it is open

Open to your love

Your passions

Love that I never knew

You’ve touched me in places

Oh such places

That has sent me to heaven and back

Your embraces

The rain can pour

With more, more and more

It’s quenching my thirst

For more and more

Touching my senses

Thirst! Thirst!

Longing

Yearning

Desiring

Craving

It’s all here inside of me

Wanting you needing you

Every second of the day
