in fear we fail
we fall down
skin our knees
and cry alone
hurting ourselves
and others
needlessly
such frightened children
we’ve become

yet

who can say
what we truly are
children of something
so much more
puzzle pieces
perfectly placed
in some eternal
grand design
who can say
what we might become
who can stop us
if we dare dream

your skin is my obsession
your heart my most precious treasure
your lips alone can quench my desire
your touch what i most crave
your ******* elixir
your scent nirvana
your tender love my eternal addiction
and i admit i am powerless to resist

yesterday
i swear i saw
an angel pass me
on the road

she stared at me
intently
as though i should
follow her back home

i followed that
warm feeling
to a place
i didn't know

now i'm lost; and incidentally
wise to the fact that
chasing falling angels
leaves you cold and all alone

the late radiates calm
the stars reflect evenly
on it's mirrored face

he dips a toe into cool indigo
seduced by soft ripples
he slides between
folds of liquid silk

legs extent to seek the bottom
but they stretch infinitely
in a black hole

the shore is light years away
and he drowns
beneath the cold glint
of the galaxy

clouds are so very much like people
coming in all colours, shapes and sizes
arriving, departing, passing by
sometimes clouds are full of light
and sometimes they just need to cry

today i've no need for anything
you're everything that i desire
you returned my missing smile
of you my heart could never tire

i never believed that i could find
someone so lovely falling for me
i guess it's true that love is blind

i love you more each passing day
forever a doubter but now i'm believing
you're everything and so much more

my heart is home
it's never leaving

i have a wonderful friend
who darts about in the sky
her little wings kiss the breeze
she must be a butterfly

oh james you got it wrong
silly foolish rhyming me
she’s certainly not one of them
my friend is a bumblebee

they tried to put her in a jar
oh it was a terrible place
but she’s just about to escape
headed out to outer space

ah but they can’t hold her back
she’ll be leaving really soon
