1.
Think of me
and as you do
take my life and hold it
as sands flit through your fingers
dont try to catch one grain
dont try to stop a moment passing
let the time flee
dont cling to what has gone
but look to what you dream
Dream of me
and as you do
take my heart and hold it
as we build castles in the clouds
dont tread too sure on heavens soil
dont take for granted this makeshift home
for happy times are fleeting
dont live just for your dreams
but reside in what you know
----------

The tears I weep are not my sorrow
I cry for loss- for dead tommorows
Of fear that you will not be therr
And so, make pointless time we share
I weep in fear, in angst, in pain
It's true tears can clense, yet mine only stain
They fall for you- your naive heart
In blindness you tear mine apart
In caring, in being, and now in leaving
Here am I broken- for friendship greaving
My tears cannot stop you, nor would I wish to
I know in love that I must release you
So I lend you my spirit, my life and my heart
Please know that I am with you, though we be apart
I pray that in future, as present and past
Though only in memory, our friendship will last
----------
3.
Fairy tales of broken homes
Teddy bear picnics in the park
Then dolly tucked tightly in her bed
And hidden tears after dark
Ring-a ring-a roses
Time for hide and seek
Under the blankets out of sight
To aid a broken sleep
Princess perfect castles
Golden curls of hair
The moon in the skies that lights your eyes
Is the only one who cares
----------
4.
hiding my heart behind a smile
temporary happiness lasts but a while
our childish games we play, but still
my hidden intent is a secret to kill
a hug or a handshake, a nod or a wink
the thoughts in my head not as pure as you think
the secret not my choice , neccesity i fear
in truth i can not hold u as near
i must know for sure before i can act
place my aces on the table, but do so with tact
now before me lies clearly the task
to find if you also wear the same mask
----------
5.
I spread my wings eatsward and westward
outstreached to the sky
I fly
soaring free
no destination
just gratified movement
I can feel my heartbeat
the life-giving air winding into my lungs
breathing me alive
willing, pushing me on
higher
further
deeper into the night
the own life beating away
passing as rapid as a drum
thumping with the very rhythm of life
gliding now downwards
easily and unhindred
then suddenly
a snap
something is pulling me home
back to earth
back to normal life
a life with an ordinary rhythm
an ordinary beat
but the sun from home is less cruel
and the grass on the other side is no more green
im happy at home
i believe in the old saying
HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS!
----------
6.
Dont make me wear your chains
Just because you can not see me like I am
I hope one day you will wake up
And see the person I keep within
A little more shakey
And a little less loud
Someone yearning for that which others mock
And call nothing
But nothingness is better than the emptiness I know
So take off the chains
And set me free
----------
7.
I hold the knife
It shakes before me
and unsleeping still
your eyes can see
but this I must
to free my spirit
this simple blade
can set me free
there will be pain
I cannot help
but better off
we both will be
so with the knife
which is my truth
i cut the bond
that ties you to me
----------
8.
truth
is light
as day
is night
strangers
to friends
as finish
to ends
heart
with soul
as prize
to goal
and you
to I
as blue
to the sky
----------
9.
Initial shock
Immediate pain
Scarlet tears form tracks on the perfect ivory
Then serenity
Total peace
As hate and anger are washed away
Opened eyes
Closed heart
Tears flow to the earth with drops that are shed
Relief everlasting
Love is gone
All emotions are forever dead
----------
10.
take away from me my heart
for it contains your love
take away from me my life
it fits you like a glove
take away from me my soul
and mould it to your own
for you are with me crown my heart
my soul is but your throne
----------
11.
i lost the key
i could not help it
i wanted to tell you my secrets
but for so long they were hidden
in the box
under the stairs
with a little padlock on them
and now i have no key
and when my secrets are no longer mine
and you wish to take possesion of them
you will find the key
for only you know where it is
i know you do
you have hidden it from me
it is not that you want my secrets
but neither do you want anyone else to have them
and incase i should slip up
and let the cat out of the bag
you have protected me
by hiding the key
but i ask you one favour
when my secrets are no longer mine
free them
for the whole world to know
----------
12.
The blacklight fades into the distance
The sun is shining on your heart
Each new ray of sunshine
Sees the death of a star
And the birth of a hope
I see you sillouetted against the dawn
Each blade of grass to your hair
Each drop of dew to your eyes
I bend towards you as a daisy to the light
Turning my life to your care
And my soul to your gentle hands
The birth of the sun
Awakens us to our love
Joining hands
Locking hearts
Sharing forever our new found heaven
A secret
Not to share
But to live
And knowng eternal we will be
In our paradise
In a dream
Our reality
----------
OK, I need your opinions. Are they good? What needs improving? What do you think they are about? What do they mean to you? Any constructive comments to help me? And, can you think of titles for ANY of them?
Thank you...
