I find you

An old memory of you before I knew you. I replay in my mind, the time, that I found you alone, looking for conversation, sat waiting for someone, in your trilby hat, and in your black coat, sat there as if a vision of a distant past, the 1940's or the 1950's, stylish and elegant […]

I filter the coffee

I filter the coffee, whilst you, you tread softly, on the rug, you in your dressing gown, bright eyed and all cosy and snug, and I filter the coffee, and the croissants are done, and the fruit and the orange juice are on the table, and we bathe, in the light of the glorious sun, […]

I felt

I felt the Earth beneath me, I picked it up and I ran it through my hands, and I stood in the sunshine and in the sunlight, and I grew my plans, I grew my plans, and I thought about it, and I planned to exist more outdoors, because indoors it was such a bore, […]

I fell for it

I fell for it, I fell for someone new, I fell for you, I fell for the look of love, that you cast upon me, you with those eyes that shine so blue, a second, a split second was all it took, and in my gaze, you were captured, yes you, with your fleeting ways, […]

I dreamt across the sea

I dreamt across the sea, I dreamt of you and me, I dreamt of us holding hands, and of your eyes, and of all the visions that you had seen, I dreamt of us, and your embrace, and the pleasures of you and me. I dreamt of us, and where we will wander, for in […]

I draw the line at midnight

I draw the line at midnight and at the end of the day. I draw the line at the end of time. And in wonder I see out the night and the day. I draw the line at midnight. I draw the line at the end of the day, and I exist in the moment, […]

I did not understand

I did not understand you, for you were an enigma to me, you were an enigma, a confusing puzzle that I could never completely understand, and you hid behind a mask, and never revealed your heart or your feelings to me, and you were blank faced so many times, with no smiles and only misery, […]

I close my eyes

I close my eyes. I think of simple things, for my day is far too complex, and my mind is overwhelmed far too many times, and when I close my eyes, in the blackness and in my mind, there is a peace, a peace that is so often hard to find, and I imagine the […]
