Painted Memories   -  01 Aug 19

An old dream
Pressed
Between the pages
Of an even older book
Colours of the petals
Of a flower
Remain
On the words
Of a Love song
Painted memories

.
Remembered significant moments of a life.

Colours Of Your Love

A Love song, which actually is a Love song ~ or at least that is what the words say.





Colours Of Your Love  -  23 Jun 14

You painted a Love song
On my Heart
In colours unexpected
You sang the solo
Your voice entranced me
Captivated me
And I listened to the colours
You wove for me
In our sky
Held by your smile
On the open sea
I sailed back to you
To remain
In your sea of colours
Forever





I Love writing Love songs.

Then And Now

Listening to a random selection of music tracks from various groups and this poem started drifting through my mind.





Then And Now  -  29 Oct 13

Sweet child of time
Watching me
From the space
Between moments
The intersection
Of the planes
Of the then
And the now
She smiles and
Sings me a Love song





Sweet Lady sings a sweet Love song.

Work in Progress

After quite a long pause Muse gave me a gentle poke in the ribs and invited me to write again.





Work in Progress - 23 Mar 10

Echoing
Through the chambers
Of my mind

Your voice
Carries all the feelings
We shared...
And share
Today

Looking from the window
Across the beach
To where the waves
Meet the sand
And where the sea
Kisses the sky
Between all the worlds
Our footprints mark
Our wanderings

Sitting on a grey afternoon
Working on a half-written
Love song
Wondering if
I will finish it today





I'm pleased to be back in the lovesongs mood again...

Soon, a Kiss

Just another little love song...





Soon, a Kiss - 03 Dec 09

Rose petals
Like velvet
Cascade
Stroke my skin
Please my senses
Awaken
Beautiful memories

She is still
With me and
Ever will be
She is always
In my thoughts
And dreams

Her gentle footfalls
Like soft slow heartbeats
Tell me that she is here
And soon her lips
Will caress mine





This came through when I wasn't actually expecting it...you have to be ready for anything in this business.

Holding Me

In a change of mood today, I present a love song - it sneaked up on me while I was actually doing something else and I took pleasure in setting it down here.





Holding Me - 16 Nov 09

Moment by moment,
You hold me in your hands
Caressing, loving
Soothing my aches
Easing my fears
Loving

In all the moments,
I have felt your energy
Surrounding me
Touching me
Holding my soul
To yours

Our moments fill eternity,
And eternity is in all our moments





I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I did writing...

I Will Be Waiting

Another poem from a few years ago, this is set in a place that features in a Song Cycle I wrote and the Cycle itself has been knocking at my mind again - I feel that there is more to come.





I Will Be Waiting - 01 Feb 03
A love song from the land where the Warlord walked.

When the watchnight fires
Have grown cold
I will be waiting
For you

When the wind from the sea
Washes across my face
Carrying memories
From a distant past
I will still be there
Waiting
For you

In the night
Through the day
I will hold
The memories
Of our times together
And
I will still be there
Waiting for you
To return
To me





This poem and the background story still have the power to bring a gentle tear to me.

Smile

Too many things have been going on for any new poems to be written, though I hope that this will change soon. Meanwhile I offer this from 2002...





Smile - 21 May 02

With your smile
You break through the darkness
Blow away the clouds
That are covering the sun

With your smile
You open up the doors
And push aside the shutters
That are covering the sun

In the light
Of day
You are there
Beside me
You are my light
In the darkness
You guide me
On

And on





Another little love song, I have only just realised how many of these I have written over the years - I hope you don't mind. [Said he trying to hide the smiles - and failing]
