Swirling Lights

The lights they carry me unto a space

Perhaps into another place

The drum and bass it does surround

The music in my head so does pound

True friends are there without your call

A brother is there before you fall

My heart did bleed and then it drained

My guitar soars and screams in pain

I love the music it soothes my soul

It warms me in winter like a shoal

The lights my sunlight, the smoke my air

I swerve my spaceship without a care

If I were to die before I wake

I pray to Hendrix my soul to take

I've played Rock and Roll, and the Blues

I've floated high in silver shoes

I opened the walls, and closed the floor

and even tried to go through the door

Up the down staircase I have been

but then again don't remember when

The lights they soothe me,and the tunez

The DJ plays the record swoons

My blood was blue but now it's red

A flock of seagulls around my head.

Velvet

The passion is for lovers only
sweeping through a heart so fair
Once the wine has been sipped slowly
toss to the wind our every care

The stars they call me with a twinkle
Her lips they soothe my every thought
Our moon it bathes us with warm light
Forever more no love is sought

Whilst in the bath, we cuddle peaceful
music playing in our minds
I stroke her body ever deeper
The very greatest of all finds

At break of morning, she lays there sleeping
like an angel in the dawn
I slip back in forever keeping
in my heart this tender fawn

I gaze I her and I see rainbows
The castle walls they hold my sighs
My little elf, my sweetest fairy
she warms my soul and calms my cries

The common knaves who tread upon me
can never know the strength of love
Eternity is mine, the moat is stronger
She is my darling, she is my glove.

Dying Bird

The day I came home from work and found my girl dead was one of the most traumatic things that ever happened to me.
I knocked on the door, you know...she was in the bathroom...
No answer...
I knocked again, calling out her name...
again....no answer...
Finally, I kicked the door in...
Only to find my beloved, slumped over, her face buried into
the top of a bar stool...
I ran over screaming her name again...
and grabbed her head to lift her up.
Her eyes were still open and she was looking somewhere past me to another world...
her once beautiful blue eyes were now cold and grey.
She died not because of the overdose, but because she was
too stoned too lift up her head to breathe...
She died of a heroin overdose because she was in so much pain every day...
She couldn't take it and was constantly finding ways to alleviate that pain.
(She was run over by a guy in a pick-up truck when she was walking across the street
to her son's Christmas play)
It was her last day on earth...
I loved her...but no amount of love could help her....
Now she was out of pain finally...and safe and warm and peaceful...
Finally...

This is a poem I wrote a long time ago...
I think enough time has passed now...

Dying Bird

My mind has seen the pain of woe
The longing hurt and senseless blow
of people dying every day
Their hurt a powerful burning play
So it was with my little bird
She longed to hear some simple words
like love and peace and just the sun
I tried to be her only one
But yet she was in so much pain
Her every moment lived in vain
She wished to die she used to say
I would cuddle her in every way
But she would cry into the night
There was no peace, there was no light
My little bird so sad to say
not long to live in her own play
For one day when I arrived at home
the bathroom locked, like death, this poem
I kicked it in as lovers bled
that's when I found my poor bird dead
I tried to carry her and give her life
but it was like the sharpest knife
That cuts you deep so you will know
you have alot of blood to flow
She was my bird, my little leaf
and now I play guitar in grief.

Love

What is love if not a lark?
that somehow starts from but a spark
When are kisses, sweet to taste?
when passion tarries but not to waste

A lover's hand should be so slow
calm and patient unlike the show
Forever movies in my head
replace all feelings of loss or dread

The fairies dance and surround my heart
they comforted me when we had to part
The stars they glisten in her eyes
her gentle touch, a million sighs

I kiss her neck under the moon
she turns to kiss me but leaves too soon
What is love if not a flame?
that somehow singes but never tames

Everyone thinks they've found "The One"
Who makes their dark as bright as sun
But is the one truly for you?
Or merely a temporary inguenue?

Can the passion you hold within
be kept forever safe from whim?
So many lovers, so little time
Such as this here humble rhyme

I have loved and I have cried
I held a lover who just has died
but yet I still play my sad guitar
it soothes my soul and brings me stars

So, yes...the love it keeps me strong
I keep my heart aloft with song
The notes and passion seem as one
It is my moon and stars and sun

I will remain a happy soul
for angels guide me through the trolls
Forever more and unto the end
With beautiful music, my life, I spend
