I forget that I have the capacity to feel anything
Then, You
Come silently into view,
You shake me awake.
...

When I was young
I saw Love hanging from a bough
Like a star burning bright
...

I felt it coming
Strange monsoon
I was stretched and compressed
The heart harpoon
...

I don't remember,
Where has it gone?
Did the wind whistle in and take it?
Did you see it?
...

In the watery depths of my womb,
There lies a shipwreck
Its mast and frame made of you and I
It cries Freedom from within
...

Sometimes I can make myself invisible,
It's true,
All I need is you:
...

Your love for me is now dry
In your heart, the crisp skin
Flakes fall from your mouth
And bury me
...

I love the rain that fell that day
Between the pillars and the stone
We ran like charged children
Through lightening and storm
...

Now I am lost
And the rain falling
Does not touch me
It falls around me
...

I am a man whose heart is yet to break
My Tower is upright and knows no fire
I am intact
...

Your head bent, 'sorry' you say
And all I see is a lanscape of self pity
The weakness of a naughty boy
Gazing up at me from the eyes of a man
...

There is a strange, almost physical stir within,
Like a puppett on a string, the pull on the sea
...

I can hear them,
Like distant childrens voices
They tap at the window and when I look they are gone.
...
