Music

Music is in my soul,
My blood,
The very bones of me.
It stirs me to action,
Makes my spirit
Dance for the sheer joy of it.
My guitar captured
That sense of adventure
I get when I strike a chord

Footprints

Tags

,

There were footprints in the sand,
To the water’s edge,
Where they disappeared.
And they intrigued me.
Who had left this trail?
Walked the walk?
Where were they going?
Who did they meet?
All unanswered questions,
From an anonymous friend…

Shoe Shop

Tags

, ,

Shopping for handbags,
Shopping for shoes,
My delight never flags,
It’s an indulgence I chose.
The man in the black
Has just bought some serviceable brogues,
The salesman out back
Says that they fit several vogues.
It’s a day like so many,
When I want to buy everything.
Resistance? I’ve not any?
Because shopping is king,

You

Tags

I’ve walked the universe you to find,
Look back and I am right behind.
There for comfort and support,
To anticipate your every thought.
Your my backbone, I’ll be yours,
To help you settle any scores,
I’d walk through fire to set you free,
To show you what you mean to me.
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do,
To let your talents shine on through.
You are thoughtful, loving, kind,
A gem like you is hard to find.
I know my faults and there are many,
But in you I just cannot find any.
You are so brilliant yet insecure,
So darling I want to make you sure,
Sure I’ll be here, right by your side,
To support you through a bumpy ride,
But also to share your triumphs too,
Because, my darling, I love you.

What Love Is

Tags

When I think about what love is
My heart turns over, my blood starts to fizz.
When I am asked what love represents
I say it takes over in every sense.
So what exactly is it that love involves?
It’s someone around whom your world revolves.
It’s someone who makes you feel safe and warm,
Protected and sheltered, a port in a storm.
I love your eyes, I love your skin,
Where your body ends, there I begin.
