Unhinged, unlocked
Old wounds reopened
A love turned to hate
The passion and desire
Now for revenge

I LIVED IN A CHASM OF EMPTINESS
I lived in a chasm of emptiness
A dark void of
loneliness
Cold and emotionless
Without purpose or
direction
A soulless vessel
Until that blessed
moment
When you blew into my
heart
Your divine wind
And I was full of love
YOU TOOK ME FROM A SEA OF COLD
You took me from a sea of cold
You breathed life into
me
Brought me back from
the dead
Gave wings to my soul
And put music into my
heart
TWO CASTAWAYS
Two castaways
Washed up together
Like flotsam and
jetsam
The floating wreckage
Of their failed loves
And from the driftwood
Of their own detritus
And broken remnants
Of previous vessels
They manage to build
A new ship of love
IF YOU WERE AN ISLAND
If you were an island
Set in a clear blue
sea
Dressed with palm
trees
Stirred by the scented
breeze
With sun soaked
beaches
Of coral white
I would be the gentle
waves
Washing over them
LIKE DRIFTWOOD YOU FLOATED INTO MY LIFE
Like driftwood you floated into my life
As I cruised upon a
calm blue sea
Your presence stirred
the peaceful waters
And turned my outlook
squally
But though we blow
from storm to storm
I WAS THROWN OUT OF A CLOTHING SHOP
I was thrown out of a clothing shop
It was one of the Muslim
outlets
All I did was to ask
if I could look
At one of their bomber
jacket
