Thirty Five Years
Thirty Five Years
Not just alive and on the planet
But hooked and hitched
To my pal Janet
Or Mary as She’s often known
The wind from the east
Where wild oats were sown
Thirty Five Years
From lad to dad
Mostly good, sometimes bad
And orphaned along the way
Sad to say
But while there’s Jean
There’ll always be a card
Thirty Five Years
The wrinkles spread
And the road back’s longer
Than the road ahead
Thinking of it makes me smile
But the future’s real
And fate still spins the wheel
Thirty five years
Since that toast was said
And we both kissed
And our vows were read
Nerves on show,
“On behalf of my wife and I..”
Thanks to you all for dropping by.
Sand Sun Sea And Sky
Sand sun sea and sky
The wind in your face
As the day goes by
Sun sand sky and sea
The warmth of the love
That you give to me
Sea sky sand and sun
The glow of your skin
And the sound of a drum
Sky sea sun and sand
Is the beat of my heart
As I take your hand.
Everythin'
Sometimes touching her skin
Is everythin'
Sometimes just her heat
Swaying slowly to an inner beat
Pause time
Press repeat
Close your eyes
And drink her in
That my friend
Is everythin'.
My Only Valentine
How did we both know
All those years ago
That we were meant to be?
That you were meant for me
And I for you?
In all of space and time
That chance should make you mine
And you, would make me shine
Fate's arrow travelled true.
My glass of sparkling wine
My shock of coral vine
The one in whom the fates combine
My only Valentine
(The bride of Frankenstein)
Have You
Have you ever looked and had your breath taken away?
Have you ever seen and your mind went astray?
Have you ever wished and wished wishes came true?
Have you ever closed your eyes and imagined her with you?
Have you?
Krackers in Kraków
You know when you meet and you're all in love
Then it doesn't wear off like some gift from above.
Well let the years crash by and the chapters accrue
Let the love be tempered and quenched in the stew.
Those lines life drew on me and you
Remind the past to savor us two
Though the world she moans
And the universe groans
We pass through their portals
Mortals not drones
Testimony to the genius of time
Forever I'm yours and forever you're mine.
A Little Candle
I lit a little candle today
I said a little prayer
And where mind's thoughts did stray
They took me gently to her
Through rose scented parks we stepped out
Strolled along hewn stone paths
Moist hands clasped to dispel all doubt
Eyes sparkled as her smiles crystallised into tinkling laughs
Hearts cradled in each others care
Fragile as time does allow
Sweet passion in the mingling breathe that we share
Happily trading all the tomorrows for right now
Paradise
If paradise was twice as nice
As the bliss of a kiss
When I sip your lips then
See the joy rise in your eyes
There's no price men devise
No exotic spice, no material device
Or roll of the dice or slice of luck
That would suffice or make me sacrifice
Or prise a look in a secret book
No wise man, no icy fingers
No rising star, no celestial singers
Would ever entice or make me waver
Or want to savour any other flavour
No lottery prize or chemical highs
No human vice or earthly ties
If Gods ascend or missiles end
If mountains fall or angels call
Would ever for a seconds fraction
Give me any cause or distraction
Or any other satisfaction
Attraction, abstraction or reaction
To split my focus by subtraction
From
You
Or
The
Things
That
You
Do
Soft Love
Soft love in the shadows of your heart
Soft gentle love In the folds of your smile
Soft, gentle, inviting love In the promise of your embrace.
Deep love in the depths of your eyes
Deep, warm love in the heat of your touch
Deep, warm, ageless love stretched across time.
Love Is
Love is a scarf we wrap to keep out the cold.
Love never grows old.
Love is the seed we sow
Love is a bobble hat worn on a frosty morn.
Love is the dawn.
Love is the joy we grow
Love is the tingle in our cheeks when we come in to the fire
Love is desire.
Love is our heart in flow
Love is the shine in your eyes when they look into mine
Love is Divine.
Love is our soul on show
Love is what we say whispered at the end of the day
Love is the way.
Love is all we truly know
The Day You Were Born
The day you were born
I was six years old.
Already at school
And it was my schooling
Or the lack of it, ultimately
That brought us together
Just 16 short years later
From the moment I saw your face
Witnessed you smile
Felt the shock of electricity
Behind those piercing eyes
I was then
And have been ever since
In your command
We shared the sunrise
We shared the blossom
We shared the fruit
And now as darkness falls
We share the night
Hands together
Eyes closed tight
Flashing images
Light up our minds
People and places
Objects and signs
Twice distilled all that we know
Hold on to each other
And never let go.
I'm In Heaven, I'm Always Here, Down In The Fire. (10w)
