Paper Cup
once my cup ran over
with everything, mainly love
a large cup it was
then the cup became paper
was drained of everything
discarded
in the trash
but I found a final ounce of myself
glowing at the end of my moons rainbow
yes they exist
and took it to find my way home in the dark

Liverpool
The Liverpool I know
I never felt I belonged
An observer
A watcher
Drinking in everything that came along
Revisiting memories so very clear
My city heart beats like I’m still here
Streets never changing
People stay the same
Time hasn’t dulled the reason for their fame,
I know I’m among them when I hear their cheerful roar
They clatter as they run by, with laughter ...

My Selfish Heart
My selfish heart is just plain happy
As the world tumbles into an abyss
Only you and I know how it’s come to this
We’ve found a love like never before
Soon to be judged by those we adore
Our clean hearts true to ourselves and each other
No time now for froth and bluster
Just love seared with joy and heart felt laughter
Short time, fast journey for two hearts from The Poo...

Spirit of Friendship
We were together back in the day
Bumping along so ready to play
You called me up, thought me up, as things got tough
But I’ve always been here to walk your paths
To see you shine, to laugh your laughs
You saw me smiling and did believe
I needed to show you it’s not make believe
This man now with you, can see who’s you
He loves and cares and will always be true
He’ll be ...

Did we meet, now we have
Perhaps around my 10 I sensed your spark
With you toddling and sparking along your days
As I passed by, you learning to prance, pushing boundaries to play
Easing my mind as I drove on by
Between mum and dad to my nearby dunes
No metal men then, to spoil its grace
Just a place of happiness, joy a perfect space
My 20 perhaps a glance as we charged around town
You with your s...

Dusk
At day my head motors, purrs, covers the ground, works
Come dusk my head flits, tilts, twitches, looks to fly and flee
The darkness, draws me, pulls me
More space, less noise, life brighter, sharper
Dusk, a mind switch, a chance

Ice
Grey winter chills me, stops me, binds me
Like ice sliding into my body..freezing my soul
Thoughts frozen can’t move me
Lifeless limbs burning with cold
A stillness that isn’t calm
A coldness that does me harm
Restricts my life’s horizon
Only my heart with the heat to fire my mind
A heart still beating for you
A never dying ember of love
Let’s live where the sun a...

Dawn
Dawn the rising glint of light
The background whoosh of an electric float
The cheery clink of bottles
Returning from where darkness rules
Empty of energy but full of joy
Stop now and find that view
View from a hill I know so well
Then nature’s volume slowly turned up
My breath easing into peace
Many such dawns to open my days
Find the spot, find the view, find the p...

Love Changes
My love changes with the dark
The breezy bright morning girl begins to doubt
Shadows casting through her crowded mind
Memories opened like ancient crypts
Fear flies into anger and dismay
But let me show you my lady of the light
Bouncing, shinning, beaming and laughing her infectious laugh
Fast thoughts, feelings, crackling into outer and inner space
Passion
I will be ...

Two Hearts
Two hearts not three my love
Only yours and mine beat together
And that look as we stare off centre
Tuning into radio US
The faraway glance that sees nothing
But hears everything
Our station, our wavelength
Where we are the producers, directors the listeners
The head can hear the love when needed
The heart can silence the fear when we’re not near
Life has drawn us,...

Jaunt
Jaunt with me baby
Title for a song he joked
But no, reality
We are free to ride
Free to glide
Free to smile in joy
Joy of being together
In a car with no name
Quiet but fast
A car that knows them
That likes them
That joins them
Glide, swoosh, smile and let the music play

Love Wins
Love Is you
Love quenches all
Love never falters
Love is for all reason
Love heals forever
Love changes us
Not to have love is death
Is to grow old young
Is a waste
Is a wasteland
Is no point
But love is you
So I live

Everything
So what do I like most about you
Impossible to know where to begin!
Your eyes, your touch, your joyous grin
Your Golden hair, your poor red chin?
The poet, the dreamer, the lover, the girl
The horse back hero, the Tinker Bell
The ducker, the diver, the girl with the plan
The believer in miracles, the Liverpool fan?
The swimmer, the fighter, the joker
The mover, the scous...

Beautiful Woman
You’re the most beautiful woman in the world
Because baby you’ve stolen my heart
You’re the most beautiful woman in the world
Because without you my world would fall apart
Your eyes dance and captivate my mind
And make my head and heart pound
Your lips are where the hunger starts
Joining to ignite and fire my heart
Because without you baby, my world would fall apart
You’...
