Papa, Papa, my darling Papa
Long time since gone
Tall, quiet, serious and so strong
Always reading, sitting in the armchair
...

When a man loves you
He is kind and protective
Never does anything to make you blue
...

When the day is done
And thoughts of you flood into my head
I cannot forget
I cannot forget
...

Sometimes as I lay in my bed
Thoughts of you come to my head
I hope you can sense my feeling
Of love flowing across the city
...

I think I have the capacity to be comatose
To lie in bed all day and doze
To eat and sleep and lie around
Like a worm in the ground
...

Funny how things pop out of your head
Words that have been said
Songs that go round and round in your brain
That can make you weep again and again
...

If LOVE was a person
Employed to pair off people for a reason
Love has done a miserable job of seeing
The Inefficiencies everywhere in us human beings
...

Its hard to go back to where you were
Memories of good feelings gone astray now a blur
Sit where one sat to chat and think
Where love and friendship shrunk
...

If I could...

Remove the needles in my heart
The brick in my stomach
...

So my gut feeling was telling me to face
That when he took her to our place
It was a sign of the end
He was on to his next friend
...

I saw him walking down the street one Sunday
He looked fragile but sweet
His face looked as if he was in pain
My heart went out to him again and again
...

Today, I saw you and the reason
You never call me for tea or coffee this season
Together you sat chatting away
In the same spot we used to sit and stay
...

When my heart is filled with memories of you
I see myself by the lake
Bellowing like a wounded animal
With tears flowing down its cheeks
...

The tall one fled the land of his father's birth
Fled he did from the wrath of his father who knew no mirth
Across the seas he sailed
Through wind and gale
...

Oh sweet solitude
A gentle soft mood
Smooth and ever flowing
Like a river of tranquility
...

A lonely walk

A lonely walk among the ancient graves
Trees swaying in the breeze
...

That awful night

In the darkest hour of the night
Loud and impatient - a knock at my door
...

Mummy's resting place

Under the heavy ground
Your bones lay without a sound
...

An Ode to Paula and Derek

Far away from a foreign land
Came Margaret and Derek hand in hand
...

Oh beautiful autumn day
Golden sun and wonderful breeze
Emerald grass and golden leaves
Little brown birds and squirrels gray
...
