YOU'LL NEVER KNOW

You’ll Never Know!

And this I do know

The oceans and seas know

The depths of my love so deep

Deeper than this Atlantic Ocean!

The depths of my emotions

Cannot be dismissed

But yet you dismissed

You’ll never know

Because you never showed

Showed your emotions

Yet you wanted emotions

You are still confused

Yet I am not amused

You brought nothing, said little

I’m caught in the middle

A fool so in love with you

I’m the last to know

I’ve let you go

Sailing, sailing away

Far, far away

Heaven knows that I have tried

But this is your demise

And whilst I leave this State

I will never berate

Or ever be late!

I watch the towering blocks

Their hammered head locks

Sailing, sailing away

Far, far away

Goodbye my love

My heart, my soul

DREAMING THE VISION

DREAMING THE VISION

On each and every line of this book

There is a story to be told

A story that unfolds

A story of tales gone by

Sailors sailing by

The mermaid in the sea

Merriment for all to see

Fair maidens waiting gleefully

There by the seashore

Watching, waiting for their love come ashore

Mothers wrapped in their shawls

From the cold, cold winds that howl

They have stayed behind, with their loved ones

Hoping and praying for their safe return

Candles are lit so brightly

To light their way home

Oh how they shine and sparkle

On this clear, clear night

Oh the dream and vision

Of all that is in this book of mine

What is yours telling you?

Can you see the story unfold?

Can you tell the story without the words?

Can you draw the picture that is there in your head?

Or just dream about it whilst you are in bed?
