The Last Train
We stood on the bridge watching
the train approach
The steam dampening our faces
as it passed under
It was warm, then cold
I grabbed my brothers hand
and we ran to the other side
But, the train had gone,
along with my brother.
The imprint of his hand
still lay in mine
But time had taken them both.
I stood there for days, weeks,
Perhaps, months
Perhaps,...

A song of time
The sky shed tears, on that day
The day the wind took you away
The thunder of time, rumbled on
Playing a melancholic song
The lightning splitting my heart in two
A piece for me,
a piece for you
One day we'll stitch it back together
And then, my love,
we have forever

The Memory Of Her
On Prebends bridge I caught the evolution of twilight into dawn.
Watched shifting hues of shadow and light brightening into colour.
And, for a moment, I thought I saw her
looking up through the morning mist.
Her pallid, frail frame accentuated by the glistening blue ocean of her eyes.
But, she faded. Like the mist itself
And all that I was left with, once again,
was the sh...

Blossom
I sat on our favourite
park bench
Holding the echo
of your hand
Catching your smile
in glimmers of sunlight
The cherry blossom tree
crying delicate tears
of soft petals
brushing my skin
with gentle kisses
I closed my eyes
and saw you shaking that tree
Blowing all those little kisses
over to me
Your smile like the sunrise
Your eyes of sapphire blue

A Single Cloud
After you were gone
My heart fell apart
A jigsaw without structure
A mess of lonely parts
I think you took me with you
My breath, my life, my soul
For all that remained
Was this deep & vacant hole
One day I fell into its depths
Without thought of return
Crumbling to a waste of ash
In my own neglected urn
But, I awoke blinking
At the sun's ...

I Wonder If...
I wonder if you
Ever got to hold
the starlight in your eyes
In the palm of your hand
When you left
I wonder if you
Spin candy floss
from passing clouds
And siphon cider
from the sun
I wonder if you
Weave blankets from dusk
And yawn
the colours of dawn
I wonder if you
Shower in rainbows
And shake the colours
upon waking flowers

Moonlight Sonata
She had moonlight in her eyes
Starlight in her hair
Her smile became the sunrise
That burned away despair
She took me to the clouds
Weaved rainbows from the grey
And showed me all the colours
That life had on display
And under starry skies
Where galaxies unfold dreams
We ran into the cosmos
To find its hidden seams
But I lost you to the star...

A Shooting Star
I think it's the third twinkle down
(Alioth)
In the constellation of Ursa Major
Where she sits
All sparkly with stardust
And cheesy-gobbed from moon food
Gran said that God had came and
plucked her right off the earth
A car was an odd choice of plucking
But, that's what he chose
With all her beautiful smiley curls of gold
And shimmery eyes of sapphires
I t...

A Love Song (forever)
A Love Song
(forever)
There was a time
When love defined
All of the things
life could show
So undermined
By routine & time
Upon our own tide
we ebb and we flow
A fork in the road
A different abode
What would these old eyes
Of mine now see?
Perhaps without love
Perhaps then I could
Get over how much
You mean to me

Her Last Dance
The fading embers of her mind
Drift away to a long-ago time
To shrouded visions of some young girl
A time of wonder, a world to unfurl
Through fields she would dance humming a tune
Losing herself amidst the sweet scent of bloom
A fragrant-filled-feast for her lungs to consume
Within the wonderful freedom of nature's playroom
And as the shimmering Sun went down
She would dance throug...
