One Tear at a Time

Another day another tear
A week goes by and I'm still here 
The months they fly
What's another year
I still have a mountain to climb
But I will soldier on one tear at a time

Nobody can tell you how to deal with grief
It's something that you alone must endure
A personal pain that eats away
There is no known antidote or cure
One moment your sea is tranquil and calm
The next a giant wave...

Celebrate St George's Day

April 23 what have you English got to say
Where are the celebrations nationwide
Hey ho it's St George's Day
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
A hero for the country for sure
A time to celebrate and wave the flag
A man to revere in  high esteem
Hardly a mention on the evening news such a drag
A bank holiday would be appreciated 
A celebration across the nation 
Would be a chance to be pr...

Pain Is Pleasure

Pain is pleasure and pleasure is pain
There's no difference when you ride an emotional train  
Heart is aching and breaking in two
Soul is lost in the wilderness what can you do
World keeps turning the planet will survive
But I'm lost in outer space more dead than alive

Searching for the answer to all of my woes
Should I be grateful heaven only knows
Paint me a picture of a perfect day

Love Has Crucified Me

Love has crucified me,
My heart wants me to stay,
I can’t walk away from,
The vision of you I pray,
Love won’t let me fly,
My wings they have no life,
Love has crucified me,
And it cuts me like a knife,

I am lying on a road of emotion,
Rolling down a hill of sorrow,
Crashed into a wall of despair,
Riding on a highway to no tomorrow,
I am stuck in a dead end street,
Looking for a gui...

Amy - She Gone

The sun was shining brightly

On Saturday July 23

I was listening to my radio

When the news was broken to me

Her time on this earth was ended

Surely lord above it cannot be

It's all gone so wrong

Amy - She gone

 

The girl with the voice so pure

Dead at the tender age of 27

She is flying high in the sky

Destination a place called heaven

She lived her life to th...

April Storm

I look out of my tearful window at an angry sky

The day is lost and being consumed by the night

The rain lashes down eating up the pavements 

People run for cover in a sodden fright

A torpedo of lightning bullets the heavens

As an explosion of thunder rattles through the clouds 

The wind whips up the storm into a murderous frenzy 

As the the blackened sky resembles a corpse li...

I Wasn't Expecting Spring

The frosted pavements sparkled like diamonds

I was lost in the winter of my discontent

My rattling old bones chilled by the cold

Sad unhappy faces everywhere that I went

There’s a message painted across the sky

A wind of change blows knowingly in the air

The seasons they come and go for a reason

Does anyone on the planet even really care?

What on earth will the future bring...

Stolen Heart

I was lost in a desert of disappointment 
Drowning in a stormy sea of sorrow
But then you came along and rescued me 
Now I have got a brand new tomorrow
I bask in the eternal sunshine of your  soul
As I float on a cloud in a clear blue sky
Warm inside despite the winter chill 
Remembering the day when you caught my eye 
You have taken me to a wondrous place 
An oasis of happiness, laughte...

No More Tears

I have got no more tears left to cry
No more pain for my soul to bear
No more strength to carry on
Just a broken heart needing repair
A head full of memories
And a never ending despair

On a forsaken planet I dwell 
I am not alone all the people say
Just soldier on and time will heal
You will find peace one fine day
How long must I wait for resolution
Give me a sign show me the way

Smiling Eyes

I caught my first glimpse of her
As she glided majestically across the floor
She moved and swayed to the rhythm of a salsa beat 
I plucked up the courage and asked her to dance
She rose to her feet and put me in a trance
As our fingers touched She threw me a glance
Then we entwined in a Latin embrace
I felt so alive - which came as no surprise 
My heart began to pound - and made me realise...

Coffee Mate

She wrinkled her cute americano nose

And gazed at me with dreamy espresso eyes,

I winked at her freshly ground and finely blended,

She flashed me a cappuccino smile to my surprise,

I’m a charming Irish coffee in high spirits 

Her skin was like a cafe latte and silky smooth,

I may only be a dark and mysterious hot shot

But I’m full of beans and ready to make my move,

She has...

Hello Today

Hello today what you got in store
Hello today I don't want anymore
Hello today can you feel my pain
Hello today will I smile again

The world is crumbling around us
The planet is in a  almighty mess
War is raging in many locations
What the future holds is anybodies guess
Murder mayhem and destruction
History repeating itself some may say
Things can't get any worse we hope
Better get on...

New World

With a head full of clouds
And tears that fall like rain
I gaze at the distant forbidding horizon
Wondering if the sun will shine on me once again
The days seem to last forever 
And the nights they never end
Memories of you constantly surroud me
You were my lover and my best friend

My heart is shattered and  broken
My soul is in a place of sadness  
I speak to you but you don't reply
