PERFECT CLARITY
True beauty will only shine
With perfect clarity from
A heart full of kindness
THE FLAME OF PASSION
Promise me that you will
Let the flame of passion always
Burn within your heart
LONG AND LONELY NIGHTS
Without you at my side
All my nights are long and lonely,
And all my days are empty
THE BEAUTY OF HEAVEN
The clouds obscure each star
But the beauty of heavens array
Is just out of sight
VISIBLE IN THE CLARITY
How gently she smiled, with
Love visible in the clarity
Of her perfect green eyes
I COUNT MY BLESSINGS
I count my blessings
I count them twice
I thank the lord
For one so nice
I will always love you
Until the very end
You are my lover
My wife and my friend
ALL MY EGGS IN ONE BASKET
I gave my heart, and put
All my eggs in one basket, but
I have no regrets
YOUR DELICATE HAND
Your delicate hand
Is pale, your finger perfect
To fit the golden band
SWEET JOANNE
Sweet Joanne
With the perfect tan
Consummate style
And the white toothed smile
Joanne so fair
With the brunette hair
Oh hear my plea
Won’t you please go out with me?
SHADOW DWELLER
I have always been content
To live in the shadows
Avoiding the limelight
Keeping out of the sun
Living on the fringes of life
Bathing in the reflected glory of my peers
Living life vicariously
Keeping the world at arms length
And keeping a low profile
Laughing at other peoples jokes
Rejoicing in other peoples good fortune
Cheering on other peoples success
Crying at other peoples weddings
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride
Always the uncle, never the father
Always the friend, never the lover
And why not? no harm no foul
Its safe wrapping yourself in Clingfilm
Living a sterile life, protected
Against the pain and hurt
That fills the world
And I was more than happy to do it
And I thought myself the better for it
But now I realise
I am incomplete
I have lived a half-life
Taking no risks
Not opening my shell
By not exposing myself to the dangers
I have denied myself the pleasures
Well no more will I be content
I will no longer inhabit the shadows
No more will I view life from the fringes
I want to be blinded by the limelight
I want to walk in the sunlight
Before it’s too late to live a full life
IF ONLY YOU WERE HERE
If only you were here
So I didn’t miss you
If only you were here
So I could kiss you
If only I had been
Granted three wishes
Then I would wish you here
And cover you in kisses
LIVING IN THE SHADOWS
I finaly looked into the shadows
And saw where you live
Because I’ve reached the end
I have no more to give
I really loved you
And I thought you loved me
But it wasn’t love
That you wanted from me
You wanted control, of
My every thought and deed
You brow beat me and bullied
Until you got me to conceed
You've always been there
Behind my tears
Belittleing and undermining
Feeding off my fears
Deprecating me, correcting me
Telling me I’m wrong
Bleeding me until I am weak
Making yourself strong
But all those empty years
I just couldn’t see
I was blind to just how bad
You really were for me
But now my eyes are open
And I see the man within
Those dark days are behind me
And my new life can begin
LOVE STRUCK
It feels like only yesterday
That you first came in to view
And the world seemed to stand still
As I looked at you
It seems like only yesterday
That cupids arrow took flight
And struck me through the heart
And it was love at first sight
LIVING ON THE DEFENSIVE
She told me that she loved me
And I didn't know how to react
I’m afraid to say I love her
I want to keep my heart intact
Is it time to let down my guard?
Should I tell her how I feel?
What if she is false or insincere
My heart may never heal
Should I expose my feelings?
Even though I feel insecure
But if I keep my feelings secret
Or wait until I am certain sure
I risk undermining her love
Blemishing it at its very start
And I could lose her love forever
And that would break my heart
WITH MY PETTY JEALOUSY
Sibilant whisperings
Greeted me
For it was I
Who stole their glee
The gathering
Looked upon me
As the architect
Of their misery
They could barely
Keep their hate inside
At this wedding
Without a bride
It was all my doing
With my petty jealousy
And with it in me
I had made her flee
True beauty will only shine
With perfect clarity from
A heart full of kindness
THE FLAME OF PASSION
Promise me that you will
Let the flame of passion always
Burn within your heart
