The Music Group

Dancing whilst it is light
playing our days away
singing a beautiful song
while the audience smiles and sways

And come the night time
we'll play some more
letting the colours flow further
and then dancing till we’re sore.

For every frown
there comes a smile
even if sometimes
you must wait a while

But for everyone
young or old
at the end of the day
pleasant stories are told.

Truth and Lies

The truth, a stinging whiplash
that cauterises my wounds
Its light of burning amber
is burnt out all too soon.
What I once believed
is now something I can’t afford
All because of someone
who was too lazy to lock their door.
Happiness that was hard won
now thrown as food to the birds
All those memories I’d held dear
now just rancid milk curds.
You told me that there was nothing
more real than the two of us
But now I look upon the lies
of the fairy tale that never was.

Starting Over

Everything that once was
I put it to you
Everything that could have been
I lay them here too
All those things
I could have known
All those items
I wanted to own

I lay them on the ground
without a sound
Then walk away
to a new day

A new beginning.

Fantasies

If I were born in a mythical world
I wonder who’d I’d have been
A prince or princess
in the most elegant dress
made out of the finest satins
Or perhaps a pauper,
a fishmonger’s daughter,
set for a life of hard labour
Who’d dream of princes
and the tastiest minces
then marry the son of the neighbour
And would there be dragons
perhaps even gryphons
in this world of fantasy?
Maybe talking cats
and egg-laying bats
all living together harmoniously.

But I am me with all my quirks
and sit here with my dreams
With my fairy-tale-long hair
and oft mystical airs
I am never who I might seem
My many tattoos
give few clues
to the person lying inside
A friend, a foe
who could know
because I always like to hide
But for those I like
I just might
give a hint or two
Then let you in
to the fantasy within
tucked between the imaginings of you.

Love's Lullaby

Sleep my love,
the day is done,
but I’ll still hold you close,
as we rest, as one.

Dream my love,
and I’ll fill your mind,
with our beautiful memories,
to last for all time.

Wake my love,
I hold you still in my arms,
and will stay by your side,
as the new day is begun.

Threads of Time

The lines
   that intertwine
Weaving between
   the worlds, unseen
Dancing around
   without a sound
Letting you breathe
   letting you believe
A brief moment
   of emotional torrent
A slight touch
   a little too much

Before leaving once more
but not the same as before.

The world is changed in its wake.

About this blog...

Now I've never liked writing proper "about" descriptions at the top! But, anyway... As I ought to write an about, here goes... I love writing, poetry or stories (which this blog is intended for) and music, too (which you won't see here, as I have another blog for that!). I've been intending to make a book for all my older poems, but in the meantime... I keep writing! So... This page is for those newer ones, as they appear! Enjoy! :)
