Stages

Shadows i make along the wall
they follow me everywhere
they move along in motion
they act like they don’t care

I look closely as they mimic my every move
especially along the cracks along the groove

Sun shinning down
shadows are there again
i am only small
but it looks like
a giant man

Come along my friend
come with me
oops i let the plate fall
but it wasn’t me at all

Mam she is at it again
jane is an awful pain
always getting me in trouble
why am i to blame?

Skipping away to the rope
clashing off the ground
with each movement
i can hear my heart pound

Over the moon
and under the stars
chocolate melting
ice cream and candy bars

Racing on bikes
not a care in the world
only adventure in our little hearts
we just can’t be told

Recognize me
i am me
one day i will be to big
to sit on your knee

Lay me Down

Standing at the foothills

her pain weaved in the cold

breathless steps forward

movement of the ground

dark clouds fill her despair of old

Seeking more of what she left behind

a forgotten past lay in her wake 

a hand held out

tumbling thoughts she did shout

was this to be her fate

her way out

Chorus

Lay me down

rest my soul

where upon this island

life has taken it's toll

shouting out words 

that fall so slow

lay me down rest my soul

verse

As the ground muttered noises 

beneath her feet so bare 

her beauty did astound them 

her golden locks of hair

Tumbling down her shoulders 

swaying to her song 

men lay in her pathway

thirsty to belong 

chorus

As each one of their throats dried up

hardly able to breath 

the snow flakes fall

gently to her feet

Each man held a rose

in her memory

carefully laying it down

with hearts held heavily 

chorus

Never would they forget her

she stamped their hearts laid bare

her beauty it did capture

her skin it was so fair

a life she had lived 

these men each playing a part

only one could really steal

this beauty' s beaten heart

As his tears they fell down on her

his loss it was so clear

she was the only woman for him

his mother, he loved so dear

oh gentle whispers follow her 

lead her to the light 

let her be the brightest star

that fills the darkest night.

Chorus

Running Words

He whistles to her
come meet me half way
be the cut in my diamond
come brighten my day

A place in his heart
he keeps just for her
a gentleman he is
such a kind sir

Turning the pages
quickly to see
where they will end up
will they marry
or live free

Wonders take hold
wanting to rush and take it all in
hurry up dialogue
time waits for no man

Words written, time well spent
hours of thinking
eyes always blinking
tiredness making sentences
feel like a ship sinking

Chapter nearly done
book mark needs to be placed
he can not wait
to see who else she meets

 

Burnt Out

Feeling like a burning candle
blowing in the wind
nothing left to give
mind is like a sieve

Eyes that ponder every word
wishfully hoping they will stick
reading nothing amusing
body is feeling sick

Suddenly interesting images
spring to mind
information fills
the sight that was once blind

Breath of air
watch your step
take care
soak it up
don't let go

Keep going
will be worth it
no one to discourage
silence turning a smile
something well written
emotions inside
now were all smitten

Lips Combined

Twisting branches gather
follow follow me
her finger gestures swallow him
they bring him to his knees

With lips so roaring red
her silky dress hangs bare
her shoe less feet
make his heart beat
his kindness oh so rare

As the birds fly off in flight
the sun it hangs low in the sky
their shadows play along
making scenes of times gone by

Lay your hands on me
she called out to him
shelter me with your love
as the rain fell from above

Mechanical Minds

Telepathic interests
feelings coming out
wondering who they were
where they came from
minds mesmerising each others emotions

Movement of their feet
around each other
looking into dark eyes
glowing images
to their surprise


Hands held together
lips combined
love of eternal lusting
future hearts entwined

Follow them

Foot steps
deep pounds felt down
open up
folding eyes around
silence of the nothing inside
close minds hide
