Give me your hand
Let’s walk through the dark of night
We can dance among the shadows
Hide from all the prying eyes

Give me your hand
Let’s walk along the beach
We can fall into the water
Send waves up to the stars

Give me your hand
Let’s travel the land
We can see what is strange and new
Whilst we discover who we are

Give me your hand
Let’s sit by the fire
We can get lost in the flames
While being swallowed up by our thoughts

Give me your hand
Let’s chase time together
Give it a run no one will forget
Until the end of dawn

Give me your hand…

The Torch ©©

Clap you hands

Open your eyes

Take a breath

It’s all right

It was a dream

It wasn’t what it seemed

I wasn’t there

You weren’t here

It wasn’t your hair in my face

Your lips on mine

My hands on your breasts

Your legs around mine

It wasn’t our scent in the air

The headboard banging on the wall

The sounds we make together

That happen when the sun goes down

The moans, groans and the laughter

Holding onto you was a dream

I clapped my hands

And you were gone

From the couch

With mittens on I type these words

Trying to get back to sleep

Back by your side

On wrinkled sheets

Like we always do

Melting into a cube of ice

Freezing a fiery torch in time

Shadows Along The Road ©©

Down this long winding road we travel

All alone with no one by your side

Looking for a shadow going your way

To walk by your side into a future we don’t understand

We need no one but the one we seek

The one from our dreams that haunts our every day

Maybe the one we left behind

Maybe the one we need to find

Into the wilderness we venture

Stumbling through fairytale and reality

Getting lost among the others

Searching for their shadows to show them the way out

For as long as we have been awake

We long for someone to be close

I remember looking for the eyes

That make me feel alright

We dream of a future for more than just the one

A future filled with shadows we know

With faces we can never forget

Shadows that bring you out into the light

Down the road we will find what we are looking for

And when the shadows melt away

There will be someone by your side

Holding your hand as you sail into a future that was but a dream

Nothing ©©

Here we are

All alone

Doing nothing

Staring out into the nothing

Thinking about what we could do

Wishing we could

We should get up

Start moving

Towards the nothing

To do what we think

To make wishes come true

In a world we create

We could be

What we want to be

See what we want to see

Do what we desire

Desire what we could never have

Live

Let’s go find out

What’s in the nothing

It might be something

It might be nothing

But it’s got to be more

Than what’s here

An adventure to discover

A dream to unveil

All you have to do

Is get up and come with me

To the nothing

For something we don’t have

Space
Out of dreams

Love
Out of desire

Tomorrow
Out of yesterday

Sand
Out of the hourglass

Stars
Out of space
