A reason, a season, a lifetime

When we have this…
When we got that …
When we've all that we want…..
When life has passed us by?

I don't think so

Love cant wait for some sunlit upland
Love wont be there when you reach the top
Love wont come when called
Love isn't what you save for a rainy day

You made me realise the moment is all thats important

I only have to think of you and it becomes so clear

It don't matter that its a rainy day
Even when its pouring
Even when my shoes got holes
When the future isn't so bright

Your my love for all reasons
My love for all seasons
My lover, my lady, my friend
You fill me with joy

Moonbeam




A winter's sunrise,
Cold, spectral, pink
Snow, the season's icing
Rounds off the edges
The light, so searing blue
Illuminates my soul

Moonbeam frozen
Trapped in fate's ice
Snow coated, ice rimmed
Inside: womblike
Warm, solitary
Safe for thought

A funny old life

On growing up ......

On the Peter Pan thing....
Thats the lesson you already learned, long before you met me
First you grow up
Then you learn to accept the child inside you, respect it, love it, cherish, let it be

Sorry. Thats the wrong way round.

Are you?

Are you the stars, the moon,
Hearts and flowers to me?
Heaven and earth to me?
Did your coming shake 
the ground beneath my feet

Less cliched did you cause me
To go mad with wild 
Unfettered passion?
Or put out flags 
Declaiming love in
All it's richness

No
You are no cliche
And no Hallmark
Pattern romance victim
To me you are simply
Breath itself
