WHEN THE SUMMER EVENING FALLS

 

When the summer evening falls

The melodic nightingale calls

This is also the lover’s time

And the perpetrators of crime

Then at the passing of the night

Lovers take cover criminals take flight

SILVER MOON ABOVE MOUNTAIN BLUE

 

Silver moon above mountain blue

Is there another looking at you?

Shooting star flashing across the sky

Is there another asking you why?

It is my love wishing on that star

I will find you wherever you are

I WANTED HER TO STAY IN MY ARMS

 

I wanted her

To stay in my arms

To be my girl for ever

But her feelings for me

Evaporated like mist

In the heat of the sun

Leaving only shadowy memories

Of passions passed

And i am alone

Unable to cry the tears

I just keep asking why

But in the hollow void

Of my empty heart

Only silence echo’s

SKIPPING STONES ACROSS THE BLUE

Skipping stones across the blue

Sharing holiday laughter and fun

When amidst the joyful splashing

It hit me like a bullet from a gun

Why was I playing childish games?

With a girl who was built to stun

So I looked at her and smiled

Took her hand and called her Hon

Then we walked barefoot in the surf

Holding hands beneath the sun

On a day neither of us would forget

When our first love had begun 

LOVE IS LAYERED

 

Love is layered,

Sedimentary

Each layer secured

By the one above

Love is not shallow

Love is deep

And does not lay

Beneath a fragile crust

IF NOT FOR YOU AND YOUR LOVE

 

If not for you and your love

I would have no life, no existence

Beyond loneliness, if not for your love

I would have no reason to breathe

BEYOND YOU

 

Beyond you

I have no interest

Our courtship

Makes me complete

I waste no breath

On the mundane

I breathe only for you

Beyond you

I have no interest

I see you only,

Through laughing eyes

With my tunnel vision

I have no interest

In seeing the world

I see you alone
