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 feel
I feel nothing. I feel nothing in this weather. I feel grey, I feel blue, I feel empty, I feel void, I feel nothing inside it is true. I feel nothing, and I am wanting for colour, but the sun is as far away as can be, and this day it is a misery, and…

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…
