Waking on a Sunday morning The feeling suddenly returns Of a time when there was happiness In a love that you still yearn Days of gold now faded Leave loneliness behind Tears are never dried Not even by the spring sunshine Then slowly as a flower You open to a new And realize that summer Is on its way for you And once again the days Of holding hands and long warm nights Leave behind the

You still hold that glow That magic glow When you smile it shows And for all the reasons that I fell Your eyes tell me so A look from you helps me to realise That you are still the one The chapter has closed but I’d like to believe That our story has just begun And I miss the laughter and the tears That gave me a reason to hold you near Now all I can do is comfort you from afar As long as you

Sometimes I close my eyes And travel to a place Where melancholy melodies Fill the air and tame the space And there I stay fulfilling dreams That perhaps were once true And sometimes I close my eyes And my love is with you Once I knew what comfort was Within your arms and in your eyes Now to find that sacred place I search deep so deep inside And memories that gave me hope Return for a while

It’s just the way that nature planned it Everything going oh so fine So I just don’t understand it When she turns around And says goodbye To much pressure from her people Forever telling her that I’m no good Well Maybe I’m better off without her If our love was strong She would have understood That there are good times And bad times And times when you just can’t go on There are sad times and

She has always been with us She is music personified She is our first love, a secret love, A forbidden love Yet she is loved all the same Music personified A melody that fills dreams A rhythm that dances light between Flame and shadow The rapture of a smile returned Music personified Loved by all Sometimes unaware of her influence She stands personified And our hearts beat to the twinkle of

I never noticed Until my heart told me That you were my life Going through the motions Separates us like oceans Sometimes we don't realise Then caught in the moment I opened my eyes and Saw you for the first time All of my life I Had waited for you My dream come true Isn't it tragic That there isn’t more magic In the world today But there’s no need to worry Or for us to hurry We have forever

My current job brings me into contact with those young people and children that choose violence as a way of life. For many, they never get to gain an understanding of the pain and suffering that they inflict until they are sitting in the prison cell reflecting on their actions. With the recent death of a friends' son through violence of this kind I felt that I had to send another message to our

This is taken from a short story that I wrote back in 2004. It is the story of a poet who fights evil through words. I have had much criticism, both good and bad but have decided not to change it. This is the first time that I have published it pubically so I hope you like it and of course your comments are welcomed.The Poet meets a traveller and tells his story. “My rhymes tell of love and

This song is all about the support that we, without condition, give to our friends and loved ones. The support that we rarely acknowlege to each other but that we know exists.

My first public display of poetry was with this poem back in 1996, so it means a lot to me and too the person that I wrote it for...I wish that I could walk on cloudsThere is something pure about the skyMy worries would disappear And I could live out a brand new lifeThen I would be able to loveJust how love was meant to beYou would forgive my past mistakes And walk upon the clouds with meI wonder
