Suffocating silence enshrouds
Eclipsing fear of what lies beyond
Sealed doors that never unlock
Strange voices come and go
Footsteps with purpose pass by
Yearning to make a connection
To feel the warm touch of flesh
And know that I’m still human

Sunshine on gold
Sparkling jewels
Each one a treasure
Too precious for this world
Radiant in beauty
Shining and bright
Hues beyond wonder
Brilliant in the light

To the heavens did we soar
Youthful hearts set free
Souls in passion aflame
Among the dazzling stars
We burned so brightly
Too hot to handle or tame
Looking back upon the ashes
When once upon a time
I was completely yours
And you were utterly mine

Where butterflies flit
And moon beams shine
There shall I rest
Until you be mine

In some past life they called her “Daisy”
So sweet and pure of heart she was
Too gentle for that world and time
She wore moonflowers in her hair
And everyone who saw her swore her fair
Of face and every laugh a delicate chime

Maverick was his name, though as I recall he had many a moniker in his day. With rough hands but a tender heart he’d soothed many a filly in her fright and with a silver tongue wooed many a maiden to her ultimate enraptured ruin....

Paradise beckons seductively
Hot sun and warm sea kissed sands
Where cares are set adrift
Breath tall palm trees swaying
In the jasmine scented breeze
There shall rest my soul
And build my dreaming castle
In pearlescent gleaming sand

Running straight into your arms, the safe haven of my soul, where I can be just me. Where prying eyes and vicious tongues cannot touch me nor do any harm. My bastion against the world, the home of my heart.

Been runnin’ too hard
Too long and too fast
Always with the wrong crowd
Never escapin’ the past
Lady Luck had no pity
Brought my world crashin’ down
Nowhere to run
When the mob came to town
So bury me deep
At least 6ft under
A place to rest
A moment

Land of my fathers
Vessel of my toil
Grant me the rich bounty
Of your life giving soil
Sweet Bohemian beauty
Of this land I have known
Together we are stronger

Hand in hand
Or was it a dream?
My mind playing tricks
Nothing as it seemed
A wish from the heart?
Fevered and true?
A longing made real
Of my love for you

Leaving bare skeletons of you and me

Dark eyes that threaten

Without mercy
Until surrender
Total submission
To the victor the spoils

Where gentle waters lap
Upon flowing silvered sands
There shall I rest
For an hour or so
As the Loch Song weaves
Her harmonious spell
Soothing my soul
She knows me so well
For now this is all
I’ll ever need
In The Bay of wishful dreams
My haven of tranquility

If there ever were a when it's now
In the quiet hours before dawn
And misty veiled valleys slumber
As vengeance hungrily prowls
With a cold heart black as Hell
Tis now the silent watchers should cry
Setting aflame the bale fires
And so the alarm flies fast

Liquid stealth

Hot upon my neck
Awaiting the bite
The delicious pain
A silent predator

Patiently stalking

Bring me to my knees
Let me worship at your alter
Baptise me - drown me
Brand me with your burning touch
With lips that trail carnal fire
Become my addiction
My hungry passion
In the depths of night
Surrender to you without a fight

Strumming a six string rhapsody
So sweetly upon my yearning heart
This silent wistful interlude
How could we ever part
Note by note you played your song
A haunting ghost of a melody
That wrapped around my lonely soul
Harmonising in a beautiful symphony

In some shaded hollow he waits for me
Passing the time conjuring sensual poetry
Within his mind a carnal world of wonder
Alluring yet playful my soul torn asunder
So there shall I seek him within the dark shadows
And ease his torment as our wicked words flow

“All that’s left”, the coroner said
I couldn’t face him
Couldn’t even raise my head
I stared at the floor
The walls and the door
But I couldn’t escape
What I was there for
& so I looked
For but a moment
But long enough
My mind in torment
“Yes, it’s him” I gulped
