spectres of desire
in her dreams were the spirits of all those she had wronged
~
there are ghosts in the mist
demons haunt the darkness
pale memories of loves lost
the pain of a broken heart
as the night drives us apart
friends once tenderly kissed
then dismissed as we parted
warm love became ice frost
stone demons haunt the mist

nightmares of a dark love incarnate
Love’s Lost Friendship
whatever you want from me only love and friendship can give
~
I learned that I can still cry
sorrow is the other face of joy
to grieve silently is to be human
lost and broken and yet I’m a man
now all this friend can say is goodbye
you were the only love I’ve ever known

dawn in New Mexico
a better time to say farewell
Kiss From A Witch
never kiss a witch in the moonlight
~
on all Hallows eve
don’t promise a witch
on a long lover’s kiss
in the bright moonlight
else you will be hers
forever and always

Lies Always Hurt
what becomes of a man with a broken heart?
~
my broken heart aches
you could see in in her eyes
her life had been filled with lies

I was the one lying
Sails and the Sea
Life is like sailing, you can use any wind to go in any direction
~
scattered like butterflies
under grey autumn skies
reflected and mirrored
haze shimmered and silvered
riding the send of the sea
against a rising tide
ignoring our dreams
our plans and schemes
the sea has a life of it’s own
seems we can’t have it all
for I’m I’m no Bogy
and sadly you’re no Bacall
this is not Key Largo

I must go down to the sea again
I had a girl
the fundamental interconnectedness of all things
~
darkness unfolds into morning
the moonlight shines though
what am I to you?

Once I knew her
then she knew me
Her Smile
just like those remembered days when the dawn sang
~
then quite suddenly I see
if you smile, not just for me
the world is a lovelier place
those tears have disappeared
all that sadness has vanished
the old songs never did end
and we walk again by the sea
remembering the you I adored
~

give your Goddess all the love you can
now that she’s gone
I pushed her away, into the evening light, a million miles away
~
from afar
where the night ended
a happy cry said it wasn’t over
and all at once I had it all
nothing else mattered
but my tears
~

wait ’till you see me cry
with tears of joy over my smile
ILLNESS
only in the darkness can you see the moon and stars
~
when I was ill and I didn’t want to be
I didn’t know what was wrong with me
yet there was a Iight I just couldn’t see
for when I walked down near the sea
the moon and stars were shining on me
~

when you’re going through the darkness
keep on going
Castles in the Clouds
there are no building regulations for castles in the clouds
~
serenity in inspiration
dreaming drifting above
castles in the clouds
