No Need to Talk of Love
No need to talk of love
Some things are better left unsaid
I didn’t tell you then
And I can hardly tell you now
Although some days I find the thought hanging on my lips
Deep inside I’ll say the words
I can see them like hot breath on a cold night
Though I can’t say them out loud
Better to wait for darker days
For eulogies perhaps,
For talking about the ...

That's Enough
I don’t need applause
Or any kind of praise
I don’t need affirmations of love
Just a sign, that’s enough.
I don’t need platitudes
Or fake understanding.
I don’t need speeches
Just a word, that’s enough.
I don’t need your tears
I’ve got tears of my own
And I don’t need your anger,
Just advice, that’s enough.
I don’t need your sorrows,
I’ve ...

The One Who Loves You
So would you believe me if I said I loved you?
Yes, me. The one who comes into your restaurant every week
For the rather average food
And asks for a table in your section,
Me,
The one who loves you
So, would you be flattered if my eyes followed you
Yes you, as you pass table to table
And smile back when I smile and flash your blue eyes at me
As you pass by serving

The Rain
The stream becomes the river
The river becomes the sea
And the rain that washes over me
Washes into the sea.
For you are my rain,
My river and my stream
And I am the fisherman
Who loves you in his dreams.
So when I wake I’ll hold you
And take away your pain
Love can wash the pain away
Like dust in the pouring rain.
The stream becomes the river

The Silver Chalice
I’m your silver chalice
And every drink you take; you’ll take from me
I’ll cool you with cool water when you’re warm
And in the cold I’ll warm you
And when you crave for me,
Take me to your lips
And smile at me the smile that launched
A thousand ships
Then I’ll gladly quench your thirst.
I’ll do anything that you need,
Guaranteed.
I’m your silver chalice
So...

In The Shadow of Your Smile
I live in the shadow of your smile
And I like the way it lights your eyes;
I like your style
My senses stir with the fragrance of your soul
And I like the way it lingers
So I’ll linger too, for a while
My heartbeat races when we touch
And I like your warmth; the way you feel
I like your smile
You way you talk is like a song
That plays easy on my ears

I'd Dream About Love ,If I Could.
I’d dream about love
If I could.
Instead I dream about motorbikes and racing cars
About writing books and a sailing barge
But I’d dream about love,
If I could.
Sometimes I dream about a pretty girl
With beautiful hair and big round eyes
She dreams about love,
Well, if she doesn’t,
she should.
I’d dream about love
If I dared.
Instead I dream about su...

Love Isn't
Love isn’t some little thing that goes ding!
It isn’t a song that you can sing.
It’s not something that might happen in a flash,
It doesn’t happen while driving and cause you to crash.
Love isn’t something tangible, something you can see,
It's pretty much invisible, to both you and to me.
It’s something that will join us and hold us together,
It’s a feeling that will...

The Secret of Happiness
I was happy and never knew it,
Sad and knew it so well.
Love slipped by but I never noticed,
though love has marked me well.
Winter passed and summer came
yet I was living in the cold.
My love has turned and passed me by
and outside the world grows old.
Happiness is trapped for me
When love had cast its spell
I was happy and never knew it
Sad and knew it ...

Time is in the Moment
Probably my last blog of 2013 so all the very best for the New Year everyone;
Time is in the moment
The moment is in the deed
The deed is in the action
The action is in the need
Time is in the moment
The moment of the choice
The choice is in the substance
The substance gives us a voice.
Time is in the moment
The moment of the voice
The voice is in the message
The lips ...

Poem for a Barmaid
(Somewhat tongue in cheek but here we go . . .)
You’re not expecting the thunderbolt to hit
Then when it does it hits you like a brick
One minute innocent and unmoved
The next incensed with passion and feeling bemused
Lovely face and beautiful eyes
The curve of your body is no surprise
Your smile affects me so, I’m feeling weak
And like a fool I can h...

Some Love
Some love is cold, some love is fire
Some love is nothing but sexual desire
Some love is warm some love is born
Some love’s a breeze and some is a storm
Some love glimmers in the dark of the night
Some love shines incredibly bright
Some love is unknown, some is foretold
Some love is silver, some love is gold
Some love is spoken, some...

The Game Of Love
A hundred nights out, a thousand even or more
And yet we meet unknown and unknowing
A hundred bars, a hundred bar maids
A thousand pints of lager
Chit chat and chat up lines unleashed
Smiles flashed, charm dispensed liberally
And all for us to meet, unknowing
Chance, fate, call it what you will
The hidden hand of the universe
Brought us here to meet

I am You
I am the thought
I am the instant
I am the fleeting moment
I am deep inside the feeling
The feeling of you
I am the air
I am the breath
I am the swelling of your lungs
I am the sweet sensation on your lips
The words you speak for me
I am the deed
I am the action
I am the motion of your body
I am the drive that makes you go
Come...

Thoughts Are Things
Thoughts are things
Not things that disappear when your mind is closed
Or a wave of energy that fades away
Oh no, thoughts are things
They’re here to stay
So when I see you face to face
I take that vision place to place
And when I’m tired and sleeping fast
That thought is with me in my dreams
Because thoughts are things
They’re here to stay

Winter In My Soul
Its cold outside
And Winter in my soul
The virgin snowfall numbs my thoughts
And my eyes and ears are frozen whole
Still cold and colder still
Passion frozen as passion will
And still the snowflakes fall
As silently as a snowflake tends to fall
As cold as cold can be
And the heat within means nothing
It’s the heat from a thousand words in moti...

Ode To A Long Lost Lover
I don’t know if you remember me, we met thirty years ago
And made love in my council house flat
I remember the day quite well
And although I’ve never mentioned it, I was totally under your spell
We met for lunch in Manchester
And later I took you home
It was raining outside if I remember
But inside it was a beautiful day
We slipped into bed so easy

The Middle of The Night
When she wakes in the night she sticks out her elbows and lifts up her knees
That tends to let in a cool sort of breeze
So I pull back the sheets and cuddle up tight
When she stirs in the middle of the night
She’ll turn to her left and lie on her side
So I’ll do the same and cuddle up beside
But restless thoughts always turn me again
When I stir in the middle o...

Past Lives
I often wonder if I’ve lived before
And left this life but never closed the door?
I wonder if I’ve lived a different life before
Reborn to live and love again once more
I wonder if I’ve lived in ancient Rome
Or in war time London spent some time
Dodging V1s and Doodle Bugs
I can just imagine my lovers call when bombs begin to fall
That lover’s call in...

That Girl
She’s a kind of a paradox, that girl
Its not that I even like her at all
I just love her, that’s all
She’s a strange one, that girl
I mean, I’m not sure if she even likes me at all
I just love her, that’s all
She’s a young one, that girl
Much younger than me and tall
And I don’t even like girls that tall
I just love her, that’s a...

The History of the World Part Four
The history of the world part four
Welcome to the history of the world part four
Part one is everything else that’s gone before
Parts two and three are you and me
And together it’s a volume delivered free
Welcome to your deepest desires
Destroy them, crush them, consign them to the fires
Welcome to the history of the world part four
Available to anyon...
