I Hold You Close

I hold you close 
I keep you
tight to my chest 
No one will come
between our love 
you are the one 
the best. 

Our love will live 
into tomorrow 
all the days ahead 
for you are my love 
the one I live for 
long for 
forgetting all the rest.

I’m Not The One

I’m not the one 
to cry, weep or wail 
for the sky opens 
and all possibilities
will be at my disposal. 

Nothing to hinder me 
not one soul that fights 
is against the role 
that I see coming
for me. 

Laugh, cry
sing
a song of happy 
for it is truly
the road to eternity.

The Heart Is Cold

The heart is cold 
the lie not true 
changes made fall back 
upon you. 

Make your way 
bridge the gap 
be true to heart 
foresake not.

The ones who bled 
when you 
were far apart.

Ideas Come

Ideas come 
sometimes they flow 
then
then sometimes
they stop. 

The page is blank 
not a thought, not anything
just a slate, a page
that’s clear. 

Then
then all of a sudden 
they flow 
in a rushing, gushing river 
that overflows. 

What a time, a place to be 
for it’s then I know 
I have ideas that will grow
and grow and grow.

The Sun Shines Bright

The sun shines bright 
bringing morning
into daylight 
birds sing, squirrels fly 
looking for feasts 
in the clear morning
light. 

Nothing could go wrong 
nothing could be bad 
hoping for the best 
in the bright morning 
sunlight.

What I’ve Seen

What I’ve seen
is
the best of you 
the world
in all
it’s splendour 
that’s
what I’ve seen

No anger nor hate 
none
of that
is 
what I’ve seen 

What I’ve seen 
is it true
or 
would you remind me 
that
what I’ve seen 
is
just, only 
a lovely, recurring dream.

Fill The Store

Fill the store
Empty the heart of things vicious
Tearing you apart 

Please go 
Please depart 

Let the sun shine in 
The love to flow 
The world know you are gentle  
All good things fill 
Your store and loving heart.

Hoping for
Listening

Drops of wisdom 
Dripping knowledge

My life.

 Up to me

Drink deep 
This gift
I’ve been given
Too. 

Make the best
Going forward 
Into
A world I’ve built 
And living
Too.

Hear Me Call

Hear me call
Hear me say 
Words of wonder
Everyday.

Given
By the Saviour 
Told to me
Today.

To pass on to you 
To help us both 
Navigate
Our path, our way.

My Beating Heart

My heart does pump and thump
the core of me
my beating heart.

Onward she goes with no breath taken
alive making no mistakes
my beating heart.

Commanding all with every beat
giving living life while being discreet
my beating heart.

She works in sync without a stop
oh how I need you
my dear beating heart.
