Like a child I writhed
Seeing beauty before me
Unable to touch, hold
Take home to tuck
Into bed with comfort
Colours dance upon my wall
As morning light throws
Herself at me begging
Luring me to be healed
By her embrace
Again

Like a child I writhed
Seeing beauty before me
Unable to touch, hold
Take home to tuck
Into bed with comfort
Colours dance upon my wall
As morning light throws
Herself at me begging
Luring me to be healed
By her embrace
Again

One and only place
Sacred to those
Who know where
To find me
Residing
Standing firm
Against the tide
Playing it out
In my mind
Sweet interludes
We're yet to find

Reading into you
Searching endlessly
For the same page
The right script
The best score
The only beat
In time with
Imaginary
Baton flick
By some one called fate
The world an immense
Library of works
I wander in that palace
Of my mind for that one
Story where we meet
Before the final scene
Where we crescendo to
The lasting peace
The rest of history

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

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

More significant
Placeholder no need for you
To reciprocate
