Walk with the dreamers,
The Believers,
The Courageous,
The Cheerful,
The Planners,
The Doers,


The Successful People
With their heads in the clouds
And their feet on the ground.
Let their spirit ignite a fire
Within you to leave this world
Better than when you found it.

Mum the pain just won't go away,

before you died the sky was blue,

now it's constantly overcast and grey,

I’m left with unsaid things to say to you.

Memories torment me the most,

alone now in the world with no one to cuddle,

a chilled breeze passes through me like a ghost,

standing by your grave my tears form a puddle.

Nights draw in I hear the steely wind shudder,

ravens gather in groups of black I hear them shriek,

I’m adrift on the ocean of life without any rudder,

or if you like without a paddle up the creek.

Mum you were the only one who cared,

no one else really understands,

laughter and life we both duly shared,

alone now I’m left wringing my hands.

Things that remind me of you are all around,

echoes of your footsteps make me twist,

respite from this sadness I have not found,

as long as I breathe you'll be sorely missed.

I just cannot seem to relate to another,

my heart is crushed like a damp flower,

the agony of living without a mother,

makes the honey of life taste really sour.

Strangers pass without any notion,

just a constant moving blur,

I wish I had some fantastic magic potion,

to hide my grief and pretend I didn't care.

The dust of time slowly swirls about,

life around me just spins out of sight,

in the darkness of my dreams I just want to shout,

hoping my mother will tell me it'll be al-right.

Come unto me the reaper who sows my grief,

in the quiet when thoughts abound,

you've taken my mother like a thief,

she left this world without any sound.

Without my mother I no longer feel whole,

my life is a jigsaw cast aside,

return unto me my life my soul,

so in the shadows I no longer have to hide.

A magnificant wonder above my head
As the curtain open and drapes the clouds
Sunbeams multiply the colours intensity

Evoking red of morning´s dawn
Enlightening yellow of daylights glow
Chilling green of the fertile grounds
and calming violett of raindrops shimmer.

Leave me alone to enjoy my mind´s flow
Don´t disturb my emotional blaze
Don´t rape my melancholy with laughter
As only my tears flow let my rainbow apear.

Darkness is brought in this way Out in the cold I lost my way
The storms won't last so clear the air for something new
The sun came down and brought you through
Lifetime full of words to say I hope the time will slow the passing day
I have been wrong so many times over
I have been shamed with no words to be found
But if the sun will rise bring us tomorrow
Walk with me

Don't need no use for words lie in my arms sleep secure
I wonder what you dreaming of as time goes by maybe reaching for the stars
Awake and walk with me

I have come so far to meet you here to share this life with one I hold so dear
Now I speak with what is true the world outside created just for you
Forever forever walk with me

Starting from a seed
A miracle from above
Staying hidden beneath the pure earth
Then slowly sprouting up
Hidden still for many years
No one seeing the true gift
In the oddest place it learns to grow
From the minerals God gives
Years down the line, it peaks to view
People passing by to take a look
And as many say you can not judge
Just a cover of a book
Standing tall and proud, and oh so strong
It can not be torn down
A simple tree from a simple seed
That grew beneath the ground

The Two Foxes

Restless Winter arrives with all its force,
blustering and blowing everything off course.
As the wind and rain attacks the street light
a fox barks demandingly out in the wild night.
The piercing urgency of the call turns my skin
my sympathetic heart then beats faster within.
I press my face to the glass straining my eyes,
like an echo an answer comes, to my surprise.
From the shadows a head appears above a ditch
I spot a furtive figure I guessed to be the b*tch.
Her mate tried to join her in his one track mind
the deadly motorway bustle was all he could find.
The little vixen danced unbridled in her terror,
I watched with unbelieving eyes in guilty horror.
In death he crawled to the central reservation
she tried to get to him in seasoned frustration.
Now no more will that haunting call fill the sky
I stand in witness and ask aloud “Why God, Why?”
My favoured window grows misty with my breath
as two more suburban foxes lie discarded in death!

I can't believe these things,

That you're putting me through,

Although I shouldn't be surprised,

It's not anything new,

I think of all the things,

You've ever done to me,

You said I was the one,

That together we'd always be,

It all a Lie,

Right from the very start,

Now if you just listen,

You'll hear my breaking heart.

I want to pull you
to me and feel your
breathe next to mine.
I want to know that i
can feel once again.
I want to know that
those feelings are
in and can come out.
That i could let these
feelings sore beyond
even what i dream of.
That i could blossom
with as simple as a
single touch from you.

I STRUGGLE WITH THIS EVERYDAY
HOPING THIS FEELING WOULD JUST GO AWAY
IT HURTS SO BAD THAT IT'S A CRIME
IT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOR A VERY LONG TIME
SOMETIMES I CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP AT NIGHT
PRAYING SOMEHOW IT WILL BE ALRIGHT
I FEEL ALL ALONE GOD CAN'T YOU SEE
THE MAN IN THE MIRROR IS JUST NOT ME
THERE ARE SO MANY THOUGHTS THAT I'D LIKE TO SHARE
BUT THERE'S A VOICE IN MY HEAD THAT SAYS NO ONE WOULD CARE
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
WILL YOU HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU CARE
DEAR LORD YOUR ALWAYS THERE
THERE ARE SOME DAYS THAT I FEEL A SHAME
WONDERING WHO COULD I BLAME
WELL I GUESS I'LL JUST TOSS AND TURN ANOTHER NIGHT
BUT I PROMISE THAT I WON'T LET GO WITHOUT A FIGHT
I KNOW THAT IT'S ONLY FEAR THAT HAS ME IN IT'S CLUTCHES
PLEASE GOD I NEED SOME OF YOUR TENDER LOVING TOUCHES
SOMETIMES IT'S SO HARD TO HOLD ON TO FAITH YOU SEE
BECAUSE THE DEVIL'S ALWAYS CHASING AFTER ME
SO PLEASE SEND DOWN AN ANGEL TO WATCH ME IF YOU CAN
I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW DEAR LORD
I'M JUST A MAN

lady of bulls
from the the memory's of the first people
who shaped your breast from clay
in the Vally of jaguars
where maidens looked in polished obsidian mirrors
while adorning themselves in copper and gold
incense ceder and shells from a distant sea carved delicate beads
family's watched sunsets on fields of rippled grain
in a paradise before the dawn of war for the city had no walls

houses where entered through the roof,over the kitchen and down the chimney as it were,loved ones were buried beneath the floor,men on the left and women to the right,wight washed mud bricks carried pictures of dreams from another age,painted skillfully by hand of love
moving bright red ocher
great ancestors of my spirit
shall are hands not move of unison
as we look at the canvas and dream a goddesses face
for time is only dust between us
and souls are always born true
