WHEN WE ARE APART

 

When we are apart

My heart breaks

Each painful moment

My heart aches

Come home soon

For both our sakes

THIS WISH, I WISH

 

This wish I wish,

Is a wish for you,

The wish is for me

The wish is for you

The wish, I wish

Is a wish for you,

Don’t you see?

The wish is for you

That’s what I wish

I wish only for you

MORE THAN EVER NOW

 

More than ever now

I want you.

Each day that passes

Surpasses its predecessor

In contentment

You are my salvation

 

Remembering the time before us

Leaves me cold

You brought me home

Into the warmth

You tended to my heart

Restored my faith

Pacified the torments

 

More than ever now

I need you

Each day that passes

Eclipses its predecessor

You are my miracle

Banishing sorrow forever

Replenishing my love

Refreshing my spirit

Tending my flesh

 

More than ever now

I want you.

I need you

I love you

I LOVE THE FESTIVE SEASON

 

I love the festive season

When it’s cold and freezing

Then my favourite thing to do

Is to cuddle up close to you

NO MORE JUMPERS FOR GOAL POSTS

 

We didn’t think that life

Could get any better

We were young

Happy and content

Kicking footballs

Building carts

Climbing trees

Fishing in the pond

Swimming in the pool

Then they came along

Distracting us

With their undulations

Their cheap perfume

That seemed so exotic

Walking with their funny wiggles

Laughing with their girlish giggles

And the boyhood fun was over

No more jumpers for goal posts

No more war games in the woods

We still played in the woods

But then it was holding hands

Hugging and snogging

And playing with fun bumps

But no more jumpers for goal posts

THE GIFT I WANTED THE MOST

 

The gift I wanted the most

Was the sweetest girl

With a generous heart

A smile to banish darkness

And a warm and tender soul

To make all of my

Christmas dreams come true

I thought it wasn’t to be

But then I found you

SKIN DEEP

 

You are all veneer,

With no oak beneath

You are all gloss finish

With no undercoat

You are a pastry top

With no pie below

You are faith

Without belief

You are attraction

Without love

You are shallow

And superficial
