Colours
While I live
I will write for you.
Of envy green or deep blue sky.
Twilight captured in pastel shade.
Or golden smiles of sun through glade.
While I breathe I will live to seek
The rose that touched your petal cheek.
A softer rouge could not be found
Saved from sunset going down.
While I have a beating heart
The fireside dreams in flames that dart,
Orange dancers from blackest coal.
Will thrill and warm the lovers soul.
While I tread this path so brief
Autumn dew on crimson leaf.
Or moonbeams lighting stage of blue
Is where I pray I will merge with you.
As spangled stars hang
In midnight sky.
Reflecting in each our loving eye.

Gone
Laying with my pain
Praying in the rain.
Goodbye Kevin was all she wrote
As I composed a suicide note
On a grey late night train.
Just me and the blues again.
Using every profanity
Losing out to insanity.
Embracing emptiness
As shooting stars caress.
I see you in moon blue light
Where yesterday once shone.
Our hopes rose like a kite
Consumed by tempest bite
No trace to act upon
Smiles on your face were gone.
Kissing through 'til dawn
Our passion there was born.
Softer than a petal could breathe
- The jasmine of a summer night
All love could ever bequeath
Fading silently out of sight.
Promises made with the dew
Heated by the sun
In mystical twilight flew
And into moonbeams they were spun.
Then your heart, just out of reach
Left me on a lonely beach
And as I looked above
Our own white dove
- Just glided on
In a purple sky above
I sighed
And then it was gone.

(I Was) Born To Be Blue
Some folks were meant to live in clover,
But they are such a chosen few.
And clover being green is something I've never seen
'Cause I was born to be blue.
When there's a yellow moon above me,
They say there's moonbeams I should view
But moonbeams being gold are something I can't behold
'Cause I was born to be blue.
When I met you the world was bright and sunny
When you left the curtain fell
I'd like to laugh but nothing strikes me funny
Now my world's a faded pastel
Well, I guess I'm luckier than some folks,
I've known the thrill of loving you.
And that alone is more than I was created for
'Cause I was born to be blue.

Invisible Love
Lady,
Though we have never met.
I see your face in each sunset.
Your words touch me
Like gentle breeze.
The sunlight filtered through the trees,
Is your warm embrace.
There is no trace
Of doubt.
My heart has just found out,
Your smile lights skies above.
I feel your eyes.
Our invisible love.
You wake and sparkle
Like dewdropp new.
Your loving sighs
Ascend in blue,
As moonbeams always speak of you.
With starlight spangled view
Your song invades my heart.
So sweet that you're a part
Of every symphony.
Played so exquisitely
That lives inside of me.
Such beauty like a butterfly
Your messages that flutter by.
I catch them in my net of dreams.
We'll meet one day by silver streams.
My invisible love.

Coloured Dreams
In coloured dreams
We will chase our tears away.
In crimson and creams
A sunlit bouquet
Sprayed with Heaven's scent.
Lent
By a promise of blue moon.
Where memories are spun
Within a lovers swoon.
As we escape
All wordly themes.
Standing on the cape
Of indigo beams.
In coloured dreams
We will kiss
With the freedom
Of a dove
Flown from deepest abyss.
And our smiles
Will fill the canvas
Of an open sky.
Glittering stars
That will never dry
Or run.
Hanging in the gallery of midnight sun.
In coloured dreams
We will float
Like a concerto
Across a sleeping lake.
On ethereal wings
Of golden opaque.
As a moonbeam sings
For lonely hearts
About to break.
The soothing hues
Of the artist's loving hand.
Yellows and blues
That a summer breeze
Had fanned
Over the ocean.
Where mariners of love
Lay marooned.
That harlequin of rhyme
To heal their wound.
In coloured dreams
We meet in clouds
To harmonise
With distant crowds
Of sunrise
And lost prayers.
Now lit like purple flares.
Into blackest night.
Burning down
To candlelight
Of a far away love.
To look above
And watch
Rainbows dance
Their random lights
Lit by chance,
That spins
With ballerina grace.
As happiness paints the face
Of every tear stained clown.
A fanfare of colours
Reigning crown.
On sunset
Waiting in the frown
Of twilight.
May coloured dreams ignite
In lovers hearts.
Before dawn
Parts with just a sigh.
As promises will fly.

Because Of You
Because of you
My life has been worthwhile
This wounded heart just flew
Your sun returned my smile
An ocean sky turned blue
All stars burn bright with fire
Your sweetest love so true
Has sent angelic choir.
I shake
I ache
With lightning in my veins
I break
I take
This wild horse
Through my chains.
Your smile that heals
My soul that feels
Our bodies merge as one.
Because of you
Love left one clue
Our tapestry you'd spun.
That rhyme of bliss
The words I kiss
That I did write for you.
They touched so deep
And made you weep.
I waited, crying too.
And now i pine
That we entwine
In love that heaven sent
Though life had sold -
All joy, be bold,
Our pain just came and went.
While my body still takes a breath
I love you now
And after death.
Eternity is where we'll be
To make love
Warm and tenderly.
Our touching souls
Forever free
- Still shine of midnight blue.
We ride the waves of ecstasy
And all because of you
sweet woman.

The Colour Of Life
Orange blossom clouds
Diluting the blue.
Lit by a solar magic hue.
Dripping fresh raindrops
Giving flora their smile.
Then
Midnight aurora
Dances with style.
Brush strokes on this canvas
Feel like a kiss.
That dries on the breeze
Of scented bliss.
Water coloured pastel shades
Lie on the river
When moonlight invades.
With its azure beams
And lovers' dreams.
The diamond eyes of astral skies
Wait in the wings.
Once dressed in red
Pale sunset, dead
To darkness clings.
Colours merging
In rainbows urging
A harlequin dawn.
Deep green
Oceanic scene
As cumulus curtains are drawn.
Now sunrise sprinkles
Glitter on the tide.
Above
Black painted flock
In white silence
Just glide.
Such colour of life
We all hold inside.

So
Wild, like sun kissed hair.
In the wind.
Childlike
In flowered dress sequinned.
-With blue moonbeams.
Yet she seems
In many ways
A woman mature.
Casting magic
In twilight haze.
With aria so pure.
Smiled.
Like the moon
When stars enhance.
Beguilled.
No start or end
To lovers dance.
Just a kiss
That found two souls
On summer's night.
To touch in bliss.
And split the darkness
With lovelight.
So
A man and woman
Ride the sky.
And glow.
In golden chariot
Thundering high.
Embracing sweet starlit elation.
Chasing a gushing dream.
Racing exhilaration.
Coursing through love's bloodstream.
So
Sweethearts everywhere
Young and old.
I wish you dawn so fair.
And Cupid's darts
Through sunset gold.

Thank You
Azure soul true and blue as feathers
We sigh like lovers with fine wings
Breathe love like a warm spring day
Apples red as her kiss
Soft zephyrs
Placid streams
Replete with solemn strength
Refreshed in waters of life
My darling is a golden river
I drink her sweet fountains
In this insane world I have found you
Lets watch the clouds amidst the blue
Love is vital
Love makes it all worthwhile
Love is a gift beyond measure
Summer winds fill with gracious portent
She dreams of my warm arms
Golden meadows where prayer smiles
Moonlight sweet as honey
Silence drenched in deep passion
Fire always burning
Desire always awakening
Dreams amidst antique lamps
The kitchen bright with little kisses
We flow from all the ages
Let the clocks chime
My love ravages my lonely life
The bed burns both day and night
Out the window the stars shine
She sleeps in timeless dreams
Thank you my love for finding me
Thank you my God for blessing me

We Will Be Together
In orange and lemon dreams
On sun drenched beaches
With melting ice creams,
Wearing our silly hats.
Skimming pebbles
We leap
Like acrobats.
Two rebels
Basking in horizon deep
Of aqua blue.
Now our hearts melt too.
Sea sprayed in embrace
That sweet angelic face.
To share a salty kiss
As the moon gatecrashed our bliss.
And a crimson sun
Sank into the sea
As it cooled.
Your jewelled eyes
Spoke to me
That silent promise
Of love.
I had to look above
To savour
The spangled canopy.
That open air theatre
Where we will always be
Together.
Free.

The Life I Live
It has been said that blue is the color of the sky although others may say
Blue is an emotion when someone is close to tears-
Sad, melancholy and disheartened-
I look upwards toward the sky on a sunny day when
I don’t feel sad and blue.
Green is the color of the leaves upon the trees, although
I have heard others say they are jealous- green or envious-
I enjoy the trees, especially in the summertime,
Blown about in a gentle and cooling breeze-
The same leaves turn yellow, gold and orange in the autumn and
Fire blazes a bright red in color-
It is the fire of my spirit that burns
When anger plagues my troubled mind-
Rain falls and puts out the fires but
The rage inside of me is a shade of red that will not be tamed.
I look upward towards the sky on a sunny day,
As the leaves upon the trees rustle in the wind-
I pray for the rain to fall to quench the fury that burns my soul-
I don’t feel melancholy blue or jealous-green-
I have days when I enjoy the colors of the autumn foliage-
But the color red of rage defines the life I live.
Today I glance upward toward the blue sky and the leaves upon the trees-
Today I feel sad and blue and close to tears because
Of the pain that the fire inside of me that is always burning-
If the sun and the trees could laugh and send me good vibrations perhaps
They would cheer me and I could capture the colors blue, green, orange and yellow-
And perhaps even red as being bold and beautiful-
And with these colors I could paint a rainbow upon my horizon and
There would be no reason for anger to smolder my heart again-
I could laugh with the sun at the splendor of the rainbow against the sky of cobalt blue- And glad to say that raging fire of resentment
Is behind me now and I never feel sad and blue because
I have repainted my world with colors of joy, happiness and eagerness
To live my new life beneath that rainbow of contentment.-

You Kiss My Heart
You kiss my heart
With words from afar.
And touch my hand,
You are
My maiden
You stand
Forever flowing in white.
With glowing dreams
In darkest night.
And warm me
With shivers of love.
That tingle
Mingle
In my soul.
Whenever beauty in verse
Is read from heaven's scroll.
And stars cry tears
Of the universe,
Then glisten with sunlight they had stole.
From a million years ago.
So,
I want to wrap you
In blue moonbeams.
And bathe our hopes
In silver streams.
As you forever dance
Across my mind.
Leaving flowers of romance
Scattered behind.
As the sky now holds aloft
Pastel colours we painted, soft.
On canvas blue.
You kiss my heart
With words for me
You do.
They bloom
And always excite
Like meadow dressed in floral white.
As soft trail of tears
Saturate our emotion.
In special dawn
We will kiss
With sweet devotion.
In such symphony of bliss.
I leave promise of candlelight.
Left to burn where our romance slept.
Forever more
On our sunset shore.
Yes, my heart leapt
When in dream we kissed.
And for every moment I exist
It will beat in time
With every rhyme
That is ours.
And love will blaze
With violet haze
Among clouds of ivory towers.
Until we caress
In Summer rain.
Then you will wake
My heart again.

Earrings.
Earrings,
That I bought you
On Christmas Eve.
Sparkling in duet
With your eyes,
Hypnotise.
Fragrant candles
A festive spirit
Do weave.
As fireside flames
Chase hidden shadows
I fantasize.
With earrings,
You were adorned.
When our hearts danced
At our restaurant rendevous.
Blue, enhanced,
Like droplets
From your soul.
You glittered
As sunlit morning dew.
I stole
The scented softness
Of your cheek.
With a kiss.
Bathed in an evening
Of mystique,
Our unbridled bliss.
Yet sweetness
Of the memory stings.
Circumstance
Then cut our wings.
And you never again
Wore those blue earrings.

New
What path she walks
Near or far?
How sweet she talks to yonder star.
Yet her wishes cannot be heard.
Disappearing like a solitary bird
Into a sky
Of ethereal blue.
As patiently, I wait
For her love
Brand new.
Her scent as fresh as pine.
She blooms as springtime flower.
Her kiss still on the vine.
That I will drink
At twilight hour.
Our bodies ache in tune.
Her eyes of blue lagoon.
Kiss me in the night.
Her sighs float out of sight.
To rest in morning dew.
That zest
Our love
Brand new.
The thrill
Is beyond my quill.
To express
The vanquishing of lonliness.
That soft vibration of her caress.
She woos in moonlight hue.
She'll sparkle in her party dress.
Oh, lose me in love brand new.
Cruise me on ocean blue.
Her hand at last to hold.
We'll sail a sunset gold.
I see her in vermillion skies.
She touched me in dreams
Of long goodbyes.
I heard her whisper soft and true.
'With wings of silver, I fly to you'
With rings of gold
For our love.
Brand new.

Her Lovers Play.
Beatles tunes
And deep maroons
Swirl in my head.
As dancers
Under crescent moon
Twirl round my bed.
As symphony
In a sky blood red,
Starts to play.
And
As I am asking why
Stars just look the other way.
Teardrops
Never dry
Until sun is born.
And love
Will never die
But float alone
Forlorn.
She took a lancet
To my soul.
At first
I felt no pain.
Now waves of agony roll.
Her lovers play,
In which I lived a role
Faded.
With midnight train.
And now I lay
Within this room
A new today.
Another flower to bloom.
Another lovers play.

The Softest Kiss
When I did kiss your breast
And every night was blessed
With raging moon.
Now an ageing tune
That is left from our love
Rises with petal wing.
High above.
And like the softest kiss,
Sends shivers down my spine.
To float away,
What once was mine
Turns blue to grey.
When we did merge in bliss
A flower bloomed.
My heart did miss
A beat.
Perfumed,
Your body given so sweetly.
Red stars bowed so completely.
And like the softest kiss
I would only miss
You
When you had gone.
Our golden sun that shone
Then set in a crying sky.
That deepest pain
Our silent goodbye.

To give her up
Break it if you wish devil time
Extinguish flickering candle rhyme
But a heart won't die if love is the crime.
Taunt me with grey washed sky
As silence whispers her goodbye
And endless film runs black and white
Escaping, running through the night
Her countenance rouge kissed in flight
As fingers touched and eyes were bright
My heart was torn never to heal
And bleeds for how she makes me feel.
To give her up my soul would seek
Eternally her petal cheek
Plunging deep into abyss
Lunging for one gossamer kiss
Reaching for her hand through cloud
Bleaching souls that wore a shroud
Quiet hearts that cried aloud.
I wake- you're coursing through my veins
White horse of passion slipped the reins
To leave me with a pounding heart
Oh tell me where i'd even start
To give her up in life or death
With or without a single breath.

Pic
I have your pic in my head
I take it each night to bed
And wake it in the morning sun
To tell you our day has begun.
I kiss your crazy hair
To know that you're still there
Sleep with you in a chair
A photo extraordinaire.
I have your pic in my heart
All feelings will impart
With this snap, from Cupids' dart
Sends my pulse rate off the chart.
Captured without a net
One butterfly I'll never forget
Could seduce a sweet sunset
To rise again over morning dew
That pic, my lasting treasure
Of you.

Poet
I am a poet.
I feel the colours of pain.
I watch the sky in the rain.
Waiting for the sun.
I hear soft promise
Of golden days.
As music stabs
When it plays
Deep in my heart.
I am a poet.
The moon is my mother.
She sings like no other
With dulcet tone.
When I am left alone.
She bathes me in blue.
As I die within the night
And lie with the dew,
Until the next starlight.
I am a poet.
I want that forever kiss
Carried by breeze
To bring sweet bliss.
That i can keep
Deep
Within my aching soul.
For when the drums roll.
And I fade
Into dark forest shade.
Then my music
Will pass through you.
Like a lovers sigh.
Hear the ocean cry
For a lullaby
In lonliness.
I could never possess
That beauty.
But will forever
Share
The rose that
I dared not to die.
A dreamer and a poet am I.
