It’s when I think of you
That the light floods in and the withheld smile so long unseen comes to My face and stars my eyes

It’s when I miss you
...

On that day when winter's veil had lifted and the brightness rushed Back in.
We found a misty land, where we laughed at time and talked of the Cosmos and a billion suns.
We stood there stoney still, cemented.
We heard the sea, smelled and drank it in and we said no words.
...

The times I kick and head so many balls at night
I turn and jink and set the ground alight
I was that team and all the work put in
could not disguise their frailty and their 'fail to win'
...

There we were just
you and I
In the steel built eye of the city
a vast panorama spread out around us:
...

I drove the road through silver autumn sun
The endless line of moving metal snaked behind
Huge green tinged church tower trees shaded the way
And as I Glimpsed across I saw it there
...

Give to me the freedom of your mind and I will know the truth of you
Allow me entry to your dreams and I will dance with you
Let me touch your soul and I will gladly melt in you
Grant that I may feel you close and I will give you passion
...

As summer yawns and eyes hang heavy soon to sleep
and winter wakes in blankets cold and grey
what will she bring for us my love
what will she bring for us.
...

I closed the door silently with strange echoes,
My feet felt the cold compacted crunch of virgin snow.
I shivered then smiled.
The view before me was of soft woollen, curvy shapes
...

All the sweets I have eaten and savoured everyone.
From the childhood “full to bursting” bags of treats,
With senses on fire and the eager anticipation of wonders to come,
Delving into a tasty mix with a new experience at every turn,
...

Talk to me, oh man of the Earth
Tell me of the worlds you have known
Of a million stars and near miss comets
Show me the Universe in your mind
...

I saw a boy climbing an oak tree, he conquered the monarch of the woods and I found thought of you
Jupiter and Venus and a crescent moon flooded into binocular lens and you were there, astounded
I felt the spring sun break from its misty winter den and warm us both together but apart
I stood barely breathing as darting chaffinches blazed colour at me from background green and you gasped aside me.
...

...

Thou shalt have the capability of becoming more complex
Thou shalt have the ability to self replicate
Thou shaly naturally mutate
Thou shalt be lucky
...

He died on the first day of May,
They say he passed away,
Just as the spring sun came
He shrugged away the pain
...

Vesuvius now that is a volcano
Smoking and bad for your health
Ready to blow and did you not know
It's done it before and it'll do it again
...

I felt you today;
When sadness came
And I didn't notice tears
Until you wiped them away
...

So you took all the pain
Whilst I took all the blame
We could not feel the same for coldness you became
I found the courage to refrain
...

So I have gone but hope I touched you
If I did then I hope it was a gentle touch
A touch saying, know that I am here
A touch that made a difference
...

crispy crunchy crackley
Munchy juicy salivatingly amilasily gorgeous
Beefy cheesy salt and vinegary
and the E numbers just carry you away
...

At the edge of my mind
Where the light leaves me blind
And the darkness is pressing and near
Where happy meets sad and the good meets the bad and the smiles and the grins kiss the tears
...
