Anticipation
Starting a new chapter
Anticipation
New period of rapture
New dating
Maybe mating
Anticipation
They tick all the boxes
How thick a façade do they have to fox us
Anticipation
Expecting lots of validation
Out if the window procrastination
Anticipation
Putting aside old wrongs and disappointments
Clean sheet foregoing clairvoyance
Anticipation
Hoping for a match
Going to damp down expectations
Waiting for this adventure, too unfurl and hatch
Anticipation
Love is the joy
Love is the motivator
Love is the buzz
Love is the decoy
Love is the lance
Stabbing the unwary, part of a dance
Love can destroy
Love can be the laser
Cauterising the heart
Love can be pain
Tearing worlds apart
Love can be bitter
Love can be sweet
Love can be dark
Twisted with blight
Love can be bright
Radiating light
Love is an emotion
Hard to define
Comes in many guises
Hard to define
Love is the bell weather the holy grail
If its missing we think we failed.
I like your style
You make me smile
Your ease and charm
Act like a balm
The you I share
Without a care
The bits I see
Tantalise me
Out of my mind, onto the page,
Ideas stream, words just rage,
Calmouring for release, urging me on,
My love for life, drives the marathon,
Creativity tantalises, pushes the pace,
The need to transcribe, a daily race,
Wanting to engage, to evoke a reaction,
Portraying all of life, immense satisfaction.
Loved this.
I will write a love song
Though I don’t believe in love anymore
I will sing a love song
Just like I used to before
…
I believed love was sufficient
Can surpass any wall
Enough to live and die for
And that would be all
…
Thought love was the greatest feeling
Absolutely pure and divine
And it would come to me eventually
So I could call it mine
…
But I was terribly mistaken
Proved bitterly wrong
Must stop watching movies
Must stop listening to songs
…
For love doesn’t exist
As she rightly pointed out
Life is about convenience
There isn’t any doubt
…
But there is nothing here
That you need to learn
You just keep believing
Love isn’t meant for everyone
…
So I will write a love song
Though I don’t believe in love anymore
I will sing a love song
Just like I…

Look into the mirror what do I see
Do I see, the outer shell that masquerades as me
Look a little closer, stare into my eyes
Can I see an inner glow, flickering, burning, a surprise
Ah maybe that is my inner light
The me stripped of pretences, burning ever brighter
The implications are tremendous
Look more closely at others, past the different facades
Can I find the inner light behind their masquerades
Will I find a different person hiding inside
Away from the projected face with filters all applied
We need to find the inner light
To find the true mankind
Society encourages conformity that maybe makes us blind
Connection
You walk beside me
Even though we are worlds apart
Connection
I have the pictures of you
Mind generated
Plus photographs sent over the ether
I have the pictures of you
Sharing with you
You are at the other end of my phone
Communication may be indirect but still
Sharing with you
Connection
Never feeling truly alone
An illusion that gives me strength
Connection
Is winter here yet?
Winter set into my heart many months ago
The freezing block rimed with sparkling ice
Growing bigger with my fountain of black tears
How I long for the heat of summer to release me
To allow me from this numbed prison.
Is winter still here?
Since I felt your love slipping away from me
I feel the coldness of the north winds
Chilling my very bones as I continue in life as an automaton
Paying lip service to my chores and responsibilities
Doing what I must with an absence of joy.
Ah, winter!
Today the season has caught up with my already wintery soul
Outside the grass is silvered and sparkling with frost
The sky is grey but under the clouds I see a golden glow
No significant heat to purge the voracious cold
But adding brightness to cheer and enough heat to melt the icy vapour
Ah, darkness!
You make the winter days feel long
Daylight is at a premium the day skewed to favour darkness
This suits my feeling of melancholy my dissaffection with the world
Like an animal I can guard my hurts and hibernate
I need not shine a light on your lack of caring.
Hibernation is impossible life gets in the way
As winter approaches we live in close array
The darkness is a complication but our lives are full of light
In the cold midwinter, we stay cozy make things right.
Ah, winter
It is a season of more than dark and cold
Nuts and berries on the trees food for creatures
The warmth of a roaring fire ,as we take our ease
The beauty of the virgin snow on garden, tree and field
Logistics can be difficult but as humans we succeed.
Ah, winter
Have I lost your love
Let us sit by the fire and air our souls
May the ice on my heart be melted in the glow
Even if your love has disapated
I need to tackle winter, love it and extoll.
December feels just like spring
Weather warm no cold swing
Dark and damp the winter nights
Gloomy days a few are bright
Rain and gales the weather gives
No crisp cold frost the warmth forbids
The season marches further on
Christmas creeps up hit that gong
Presents bought and cards a wing
Mood adjusts to the festive swing
Towns and cities, houses too
Covered in lights of every hue
Friends give a a glimpse of other lives
Christmas in another guise
Ce!ebrating with summer days
Not for them the winter haze
Crisp blue skies and sparkly seas
Sunshine, sea blue sky warm breeze
But grey or blue, north or south
There is the touch of a friend as greetings bounce
Brings a smile to warm the heart
Because friendship is a really great art
Its always summer somewhere
And during the winter season be aware
It can always be summer in your heart.
I am attracted to you, like a moth to a flame
Attracted to your beacon, am I flying in a game
I am attracted to your light, might it be the pheromones
I feel you so close my whole being responds
Even when you are far away
I let my essence free
So it can move towards you, a real devotee
I visualise us dancing dreamily
Maybe a touch indecently
As our spirits intertwine
Mirroring our meetings
During freedoms
Down the line
I am attracted to your light, would you could be mine
