One sure hope
We hold tight for us
We will change

One sure hope
We hold tight for us
We will change

Illuminate from within
Inner world spinning
Radiating warmth
Yet no word escapes
No subtle hint
Makes its way
To my ears
Eyes only focus
On the glowing
Parts of me
You lit
In the darkness
Blinded myself
To passersby
Who ask me
For a light
I take them in
Crowd around
Warm yourself
By my fire


Shedding her skin
Never knowing when
To see her lover again
Ebony arm band
Holds and keeps her
From unravelling
When catching glimpse
Of one just like her
Close your eyes
Imagine
Light is dim
Colours dancing
Not easy to
Give in
Somewhere else
Someone else
Minds clasp fingers
Across the distance
Constant surrender
Night lights win
She plays me like a viola
Soft melancholy
Deep and throaty
Ebb from major to minor
Discordant ending
Missed every time
We ad lib
Da capo al fine
Rounds about
Some loud
Others harmonic
Sound of her voice
Surprising
How hair on neck
Stands at attention
Feathering lightly
Like fingers on skin
Barely touching
Vibe reaches deep
Within

Come fly with me
Unchained melody
Can't help falling
Simply irresistible
She seems to have
An invisible touch
Take my breath away
First day of my life
Crazy in love

Let there be no doubt
No matter how well
I weave my way out
The web of thoughts
Weigh me down
In the most pleasant
Hypnotic way
Like a witch stitching
Magical tales
Casting incantations
I am wrapt completely
A bind of my own making
To pull at a loose end
To test its strength
Would surely lead to
My unraveling
In the meantime
Willing wearers
Be blessed adopted kin
Taking tribal yarning
Tales of daring
To edge of reason
Creating folk fables
From salt spray taste
Waiting for your return
Once again

Little darlin
It's been a long cold
Lonely winter...
Here comes the sun
It's alright
~John, Paul, George & Ringo

We keep turning up
Speaking out
Toning down
Turning round
Taking in
Pulling through
Carrying on
Easing to
Holding over
Standing under
Side by side
Nowhere else
But here
That really matters


Shedding skin
Reluctantly
Knowing it will never
Fit me again
Revealing tender
Glistening within
Looking at a part of me
Not discarded
Treasured outlived
My happy place
My mind returns
When it protected me
From falls from grace
