The cream cake of life

Is your life a real confection
a tasty, sticky, sweet selection
or is it more a dried up husk
a basic, tasteless, stodgy rusk

How it turns out depends on the maker
and that means you 'cos you're the baker

So make your life much more eclairy
with cream still fresh from nature's dairy
smothered in a chocolate layer
wrapped in pastry, light as air
flavour filled from end to end
and tasted by each special friend

In truth

Tell my friends
I'm out.....or ill, or indisposed
The kids are ill
make sure the teacher knows
Excuse my absence
tell my boss I have to go
my grandma's ill (again)
and her demise is very slow.
If mother rings
tell her I'm in the bath
make sure you sue the council
for that lumpy path.
If my sister asks
I've dropped another size
But don't play me false in love
the one thing I hate is lies.

This love

This love is simple
unannounced
a gentle glow
a comfortable warmth
felt with the heart and soul
constantly

This love is more in dreams than diamonds
in sharing
because we are one
and all we have
everything and nothing
is ours

This love is not only in words
but in the silence between
it is ours alone
not for show
This love is a whisper
not a shout

a future

Do you ever stop and wonder
and maybe even cry
as you end another empty day
still asking yourself, why?



does your soul continue yearning
with a need you dare not face
and is your heart still needing
a soul-mate to embrace



Do you need to find your world
a place where troubles cease
I place where I will take you
where together we'll find peace

I'd like

I would really like to climb a mountain
and i don't know if I will
for to reach the highest summit
takes strength and guts and skill

I would like to swim an ocean
or even just a little sea
but to be even just a little fish like
is not a bit like me

Believe

In the shadow of the fates
one soul yearns
and quietly waits

One heart beats
and trusts, believes
while those fates the future weaves

One life stopped
in frozen frame
smiling whispers a forbidden name

Oner flame of hope burning still
fueled by faith
and love and will

not alone

Misunderstood, reviled
cast out and denied
but never alone

in pain and in despair
feel like going no-where
still never alone

just a touch across the miles
and sweet occasional smiles
say you're not alone

when the now is to much to endure
and the the future is unsure
remember it's not faced alone
