Poems

Lover

I'm a lover you know
I love so many things
A burnt autumn leaf
Dancing in the wind

The universe and stars
The ground beneath my feet
Silence, colours, meditation
Dreaming and sleep.

Landscape of Light

Dedicated to Wendy.

I look at the moon and its landscape blue and white,
Veiled by clouds that rush through the night

The light in the mist of the pitch of the night
Reminds me of you
..............and the beautiful light of your eyes

That beautiful light that shines in your eyes
I catch glimpse here and there
Of magic and mystery still and quite

Like the moon you're magnificent
Like the sweeping clouds mysterious

You take my breath away
My love and the moon, my delight.

Only the Lonely

If you're feeling lonely
I can tell you you're not alone
It's an affliction that many people feel
All around the globe.

My loneliness is so noisy
As I rehearse speech after speech
To the people I am missing
Don't they know I miss them?
And would love to hear them speak
Of the funny happy days gone past.

For the company of companionship
I like to call someone, and say hello
Write a poem or plan my day, -
If it's night and I can't sleep
I accept it, and read a book
To help my mind find peace

Perhaps I need to get used to it
Perhaps I need to change
And learn to tolerate the
Bullshit and the stuff that's driving me insane

Until then I'll sit here
And thank God I'm on my own
Learning to accept the universal truth
If you're lonely you're not alone

The Dream

The angel within whispers at night
And I find myself dreaming
Of action, strange scenery, people and the like

In a hot desert landscape
Strange lights I can see
First I'm here then I am there
On top of a train, then a room, dogs bark.

Marvellous dreams of colours
No artist could paint.
If you could only two would relate
That is my angel and I.

So angel within please come to me
Awaken my mind to the mystery
Of our dream while I sleep.

Desire

Why do I feel this way?
Desire has had its way

and I am unhappy

So I'll take a new attitude
Stay with desire I can manage

and choose to be happy

Love Never Ends

Here, I stand a humble man
I've tried to love, and I did
But the love that I wanted to share
well those people didn't care
And they left me empty inside.

God knows, and I've grown
More compassionate and wise each day
No I won't give in
Dust myself off again try to love again
It is true, love never ends

Love never ends
Even when you have few friends
And the cruel side of life's at your side
Push it away tomorrows a new day
No, love never ever ends

I look at myself in the mirror
And think life is passing me by
That is true, and that is sad
But memories bring back a smile

So here I stand a humble man
My face tells my story well
The scars they remain, like those memories
Treasures that money can't buy

No love never ends
And I have love to share
I am free to give it away
So this poem is my gift to you
You can have it if you choose
If you don't want it, give it away.
