Locked Emotions

Clashing of the waves

Pushing against the rocks

Turning their attention

To all the past knocks

Jumping over hurdles

Lifting shores of the past

Trying to get over

What was thought could never last

Breezes of wonder

Shoulders of no more

Cries of their laughter

Emptiness once more

Sliding doors

Open hearts

Moving obstacles

Sharing objects

Drinking down

Touching their feet

Sharing important moments

Feeling complete

Friends are united

Come together when they can

Not always waiting

For the call of her man

Listening to the stories of the past

Remembering how this could

Affect them at last

Offering each other

Someone to be there

Sitting on a bar stool

Not young any more

Hearing how the others

Life has taught them to explore

With farewells and goodbyes

Remembering reunions

Are always there

Sharing important moments

With those who really care

Silk Sheets

Lips tied together

Under a sea of red

Tender skin touches

His soft gentle hands

Holds her eyes in time

Sharing that moment

Two hearts combined

Forever folding feelings

Wanting even more

Lying on the sand

With the evening sky

Closing in

Love was watching

Over him

Hitting his body

Like a star through the night sky

He was alive inside

This he could not hide

Smitten by her beauty

She was embracing his powerful looks

His eyes were so domineering

They were stuck to her like hooks

With fingers closing tight

Fitting each other so well

As their bodies complimented one another

She knew that he could tell

This was her moment

To achieve what she wanted that night

Holding all the cards

She surely was the queen of hearts

Hunger threw him off track

Thirsty for what she gave back

The more he got he wanted it all the more

Sharing a lifetime together

Her lifeline he wanted to explore

Silk sheets

Bluebell fields cloud covered skies

Reflecting him

Sucking all their love

Into one place

Knowing if he let her go  

Her love he could never replace

On the Rebound

Let your imagination flow

Ideas come and go

Words are not always easy to find

Some are harder to know

Children jumping around

Noise is the sound

Use it as your audience

Use as a rebound

Clapping away

As you scrape your last word out

At last you got it done

Done and dusted

Hearing you shout

Trials of error have been fixed

A few extra pieces thrown into the mix

Editing and looking at the flaws

Holding hand underneath

A worn out jaw

Speaking out your words

Talking out loud

Hearing the crowd

Share your excitement

You now have a new route to take

Yet another book to show to others

Another to complicate

Slipping through your fingers

The hours pass by

Shutting closing eyes

Before you want to cry

Fatigue takes a hold of you

Stop only when half way through

Shelter yourself in a cove of words

Speaking only when your day if done

As the words jot down

And your heart feels full

Your mind is now relaxed and at ease

Life is back to a silent breeze

Not racing along feeling the squeeze

Slipping off the Page

Standing on pages of yesterday

Words seem to just slip away

Canvas of colour there no more

The story just seemed to seep into the floor

Underneath the cover

Of the title

Not knowing then

Stood on shoulders

Of strong gentlemen

Captivating minds

Holden onto the edges

Flipping across to see

Over grown up hedges

Scrolling back and fort

Memories in it path

Scattered illustrations

Blurred out by the words

Blurring eye sight worn

Tiredness and feeling torn

Shutting up the book

Oh will write a little more

Just want to take another look

Field of green

Freedom is on each page

Some are in my mind

Feeling like their locked in a cage

Seek and you shall find

Each one will come to you

Words that bounce right back

Singing their song to the few  

Under the Covers

Purple thrown sheets of cover

Bringing him out in chills

Almost catching his tired worn

Out shallow breath

Running ground

Of lavender sound

Echoes of secrets

Rushing in each heart pound

Run and run

Not able to escape

The life that was his tape

Holding his arms

Like shackles of no way out

In the middle of the field

He let out a shout

As he fell to his knees

Scraping both in the squeeze

Looking to the skies

Begging for some light

To shine his lonely heart

Giving him a hope

Shifting his mood

He looked on at his reaction

Through a microscope

Never feeling so tired

He even heard his own cries

As he dealt the cards

That he had chosen to see

Now knowing that this was not him

Owing it to those

That brought him up to know better

He wiped away his fears

Riding off in his own story

He held on tight

His journey was surely bumpy

Full of ups and downs

But as the rivers run clear

He turned his life around

Heart full of hope

He knew he belonged somewhere

Story Lines

Not knowing who he was

He didn’t seem to sure

Of himself either

Looking to her for reassurance

Covering her in looks

Of admiration

Wanting her approval

Not been able to figure out

Who she was

He would stand close to her

Sometimes watching from afar

Pretending like he was doing

Something else

When all he wanted her in

His life

In his presence

As he spoke softly

His words left her

Wanting more

He looked at her thinking

She was always trying to ignore

When all she wanted to do

Is get to know him

To let him explore

His strong arms

Could protect her

No one would harm her

As he brought on his charms

Delicately his eyes

Touched her inner soul

Holding her heart

Sending it out of control

Tightly catching her lip

While looking on

He never had a clue

He never knew his charm

And muscle strong arms

Then as he spoke

Her eyes grabbed his attention too

He could see her admiring him

But still was so confused

As they went on their way

At times meeting again

Strangers still

They both looked on

Admired, amazed and gazed

Love Changes

Standing on the waters edge

Emptiness of loneliness

Filled her once full heart

Holding his clipped wings in her hand

A man she could never understand

As clouds drew closer

The moon barely lighten the sky line

Dusted clay

Brought him away

He never looked back that day

Her tear drops hits the

Grasping calling rocks

Falling softly against them

Hot but then not

Almost freezing before hitting down below

Earth shattering heartache

She thought

Oh no here we go

As images of his hands

Reached out to her

Pleading for her back

In her head she felt like she would crack

Wanting to change him

After all these years

She had paid the price

Of possibly never seen him

Holding back

Fighting back her salty tears

As silent were her footsteps

That barely pressed the ground

Her heart made a lonely

Whispering sound

Memories of those days

She always would have

The man she sought to change

Leaving herself heartbroken

No one to hold her hand
