POETRY BOOK

"They say that time heals the pain,
but this ache will never go;
The tears from heaven as I stand in the rain
pour down and with them you.
Although your fire has been blown out
your life will never die;
Be it through me, your spirit or these words of love
you'll always be nearby."

 

MISTAKEN

We had the world at our feet
but now, you've got it in your hands
We had a love which would last
And I can't understand...
Why you had to die so young
why your life was taken
I can only love your memory now
and I'm sure God was mistaken...

 

TIME TRAVEL

The lightening explodes
in the night sky,
a blanket of anger
softens the cry,
of an unheard scream
a forgotten dream
a heartbeat torn
on a frosty morn…

A stillness, a journey
a twist and a turn,
a blackness, a hole
and a light to burn…
…and awaken your soul
to engulf you with love,
to send you home
to up above.

Your loved ones grieve on that frosty morn,
your heart is split, should you return?
But the splendour is great
your guide opens the gate,
you step onto a slide
which allows you...
... to glide, to soar and to float
to travel through time on a transparent boat.

To live your fantasy
to rest and restore,
the energy you'll need
when you open the door;
Back to this world
of pointless pain…

…the lightening explodes
it strikes again

 

NO SOUND
.
I would sit there alone
without even a phone,
waiting to hear you,
but there was no sound.

My heart would race
when I thought of your face,
my stomach would skip
but there was no sound.

There was no sound
but there was a sense,
we could transcend our vibes
over heaven's fence.

I'm in awe of this peace
when we still transmit,
I'm in awe of our souls
which are fully lit
with a candle of love, an angel above,
is by my side,
he never died...

There is no sound,
there is no voice,
but we'll always be together
for eternity, forever.

 

GRIEF

This passion runs so deep
it engulfs all it meets,
travelling to every street
tearing each heartbeat.

Ripping open a hole
and delving into your soul,
you lose all self control
as the grief begins to scroll…

…A new page
A new chapter
A new book
A new look.

As your views, your thoughts and your persona change,
your past friends and life, seem more estranged.

There's always a"time"
not known in our world
which keeps ticking by...
…It terrifies
It horrifies
It fortifies
A lonely cry...

But the daytime returns
and the darkness lifts,
as we learn to respect
that life is a gift...

(These were the first lyrics I ever wrote for a piece of Herbie's music!)
I LOVED YOU

I never thought I'd still love you
The waves are crashing and the water's oh, so blue
I never thought I'd still love you
You were my hero, what am I now without you?
I loved you, I loved you
How I loved you, I loved you.
Long ago
In times of old
Our moments were so precious
My heart was filled with gold
… with gold
I never thought I'd still love you
The waves are crashing and the water's oh, so blue
I never thought I'd still love you
You were my hero, what am I now without you?
Help me to discover
My life now that you're gone
And then I may believe
I'm carrying your son
(Sung in an echo)
And my heart…
…drags without you near
Your soul is by my side
I live life without any fear
Standing here
As I look out to the sea
Alone on this rock
Emblazoned by the fire of love I see
I never thought I'd still love you
The waves are crashing and the water's oh, so blue
I never thought I'd still love you
You were my hero, what am I now without you?
