THERE IS KNOWLEDGE I NEED TO KNOW # 15

 

There is knowledge I need to know

I used to know but I since forgot

For example, why doesn’t the glue

Ever get stuck to the inside of the pot

OUR LOVE UNRAVELLED

 

Our love unravelled

Strand by strand

Until the splicing

That bound us together

Was undone

HIGH ABOVE THE GROUND

 

High above the ground

The hawks of deceit are circling

As each bond of trust is consumed

To leave us cast adrift

As loves final embers die

LIKE THE IMMORTAL PHOENIX

Like the immortal phoenix

Our mortal love

Is consumed by flame

And turned to ashes

But we are reborn

As separate birds

WE WERE ONCE INSEPARABLE # 1

 

We were once inseparable

Soul mates incarnate

Held by an eternal bond

As strong as tungsten

Yet soft as pure silk

I thought our union

Would last for ever

Even to the end of eternity

But the bonds that held us

Have disappeared

Like tears in the rain

GOOD BYE BABY DOLL

 

You lie alone

So small, so fragile

Boxed like a doll

In a toy store window

Where passers by say

“It’s almost lifelike”

But you are not a doll

You are not for sale

For you are not whole

The essence that was you

Has left you empty

Like a box within a box

You lie alone

Your angelic soul

Was borne to heaven

On the wings of a dove

I WOULD HAVE GIVEN HER THE WORLD

 

I would have given her the world

I‘d have written her name in the stars.

I would have given her what was mine

And not demanded that it be ours

Or I’d have sold my soul to the devil

Yes I would have done all this

I would have done all this and more

And in return, receive a single loving kiss
