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 ...

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 ...

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 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

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...

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.

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 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...

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 ...

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 ...

(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 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...

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 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

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

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...

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

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...

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...

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...
