Revelation

as days pass by
the worry and sorrow
lift from her heart
and she's able to sigh

she's not as weak
as she thought
it's now day 3
and he means naught

once again
he appears
out of the blue
and it's not as she feared

it seems she needed this
if it weren't for him
forever pining she'd be
she has to thank him

thank him
for making her stronger
thank him
for helping her realise

realising
her value to him
realising
her worth to him

things she'd never know
things he'd never admit
but now she sees
they never were a fit

Just Hold On

I know you've been goin' through some things
The pain you hold inside is written on your face
I know you're 'bout tired of the rain
Well baby so am I but I know things can change
Well you can die, you can sigh, you can cry
'Til you're midnight blue
But that's not you, no no
'Cause I know you're stronger
It's apparent to me
So to you
Chorus:
If you just hold on
I swear that everything will be okay
I know that you're nervous
Baby give it some time
Things will go away
I know it's been heavy on your mind
Baby give him up he's not worth your time
Where is it that says you need a guy
Well you don't need his love to justify your life
So he can go, let him go, make him go
You should want him to
So can you
I know that you're stronger
It's getting clearer to me
So to you
Chorus
So don't let your defenses down
I know somehow you'll work things out
Don't make your heart on no one else
You should just believe in yourself, yourself
Chorus 2 times

Even when I was Archbishop of Wales and working with new bishops, I used to say, not realising quite how true it was, 'One of the things you will do as a bishop is disappoint people'.

Thanks Again 08

It is time
Time for good bye
Just know that I tried
I tried to say all this
Every time

I never thought to find this pain again
But in you my gift from God
I did
It is beautiful
It is welcomed

Thanks again
For giving me hope
Making me dream
Things that will never be
Thanks again
For your shelter, your escape, your peace
That will never belong to me
Thanks again
For breaking my heart
And making me find my wings

Love
Such a prescious thing
Even if it is different than we want it to be
Even if we never saw it coming

Look at those eyes the way I wanted you to look at mine
When you wake it won’t be by my side
Think of your new love
While I think of you
While I smile and sigh

Thanks again
For giving me hope
Making me dream
Things that will never be
Thanks again
For your shelter your escape your peace
That will never belong to me
Thanks again
For breaking my heart
And making me find my wings

Here is my advice
Release your fears
Swallow your pride
Follow happiness
When it’s true it’s worth the price

Dulce’ I’ll be here with out end
When you’re bored or just need a friend

Thanks again
You gave me love
You gave me peace
You gave me courage to use my wings

This isn’t what I wanted
But it’s what I needed

So thanks again
For finding my heart
Even if it’s something you won’t keep
Just know I’d do it all over
No regrets
You changed my life with out ever knowing it

Dedication J.D.

Other way

Is it so wrong to want things the other way around?
Upside down turned around different to how they are found,
If things weren't as they are what harm could it ever do,
If things weren't as is those opposed would be far and few,
Is it so wrong to want things in a way variant,
At deviance, some way amended, and discrepant,
If things weren't as is the change would have been overdue,
If things weren't as they are those opposed would change their view.

On The Outside Forever Looking In

After years of friendship,
and from words of another,
they decided that they no longer,
wanted to be a friend.
They even went as far as to accuse,
for things that were never done.
Now the tables have turned,
and the one with the words
has turned against them.
So they came back to see their old friend.
Unfortunately they cannot repair what they had done.
They don’t understand the hurt
they cause with their betrayal.
Now they want to come back,
not realising it will never be the same.
They can be forgiven for their blindness,
but trust they can never reclaim.
They will remain on the outside
forever looking in.

Written in your name

Written in your name
~
Your name breaks my heart
In the silent perfection of night
Where we lay together awake
Into the late hour of the day
The look in your eyes
That smile you greet me with
Those little things you do
All add up together in my heart
Sewing it together again
I find myself afraid
Frightened I may lose you
That each little thread you sewn
Will slowly come undone
I say your name and smile
Realising how much you mean to me
How much it all breaks my heart
I long to talk to you
To hear your voice
To hold you in my arms
I say your name and I love you

I need a Kiss,

I need a Kiss,
I need a Kiss from you,
That I compose another thought,
I need a composure,
I need a Kiss that is thinking of another thought that hast this talent,

Compose on and on,
I know that you need another kiss from me,
Maybe Iam Composing this meaning and ever realising that Iam a man,
I kiss this ego with my vicissitudes,
These men are so callous in their hearts,

Compose another thought with that Spiritual Being,
It is worth that we are living for that Glory that is to come,
Ain't no dirty with that great composure,
We ain't no other man than the Kingdom that is from this composure.

World Of Your Own

You make me feel funny
When you come around
Yeah that's what I found out honey
What am I doing without you
You make me feel happy
When I leave you behind
It plays on my mind now honey
What am I doing without you
Took for granted everything we had
As if I'd find someone
Who's just like you
We got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I let you in where no-one else goes
What am I doing without you
And all of the things I've been looking for
Have always been here outside of my door
And all of the time I'm looking for something new
What am I doing without you
Well I guess I'm ready
For settling down
And fooling around is over
And I swear that it's true
No buts or maybes
When I'm falling down
There's always someone who saves me
And girl it's you
Funny how life can be so surprising
I'm just realising what you do
We got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I let you in where no-one else goes
What am I doing without you
And all of the things I've been looking for
Have always been here outside of my door
And all of the time I'm looking for something new
What am I doing without you
Well it's feeling right now
So let's do it right now
Praying that some how
You will understand the way
It's feeling right now baby somehow
I won't let this slip away
We got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I let you in where no-one else goes
What am I doing without you
And all of the things I've been looking for
Have always been here outside of my door
And all of the time I'm looking for something new
What am I doing without you

Learning The Score

How many times have we looked at things
without really seeing what is there.
How many times later
have we regretted to ourselves
for being blind to what was there?
A human weakness I am afraid.
We only look at what is obvious
and not what lies hidden there.
Only seeing what we want to see,
then realising there was something more,
only when it is too late,
and we’ve learned the score.

Days Go On and On

I play. I sing and write a rhyme.
These 3 things consume my time.
and my days go on and on.

I think. I dream and wake up tired.
These 3 things have got me wired
and my days go on and on.

I eat. I drink and watch my weight.
These 3 things can just frustrate
and my days go on and on.

I worry. I stew and then obsess.
These 3 things create a mess
and my days go on and on.

I weep. I laugh and then I swear.
These 3 things make me aware
that my days go on and on.

A Life-Lesson

There! little girl; don't cry!
They have broken your doll, I know;
And your tea-set blue,
And your play-house, too,
Are things of the long ago;
But childish troubles will soon pass by. --
There! little girl; don't cry!

There! little girl; don't cry!
They have broken your slate, I know;
And the glad, wild ways
Of your schoolgirl days
Are things of the long ago;
But life and love will soon come by. --
There! little girl; don't cry!

There! little girl; don't cry!
They have broken your heart I know;
And the rainbow gleams
Of your youthful dreams
Are things of the long ago;
But Heaven holds all for which you sigh. --
There! little girl; don't cry!

Stronger

This is the window to my heart
I just want us to be for real
There ain't no freedom where we are
Ain't no wishes in these stars
Ain't no reasons to believe
But don't worry baby
Don't you worry
Maybe this is what we need
A little bruise and a little bleeding
Some space that we can't breathe in
Some silence in between

[Chorus:]
So cry for me baby
And I'll cry for you
And we'll both break down and we'll both break through
Find our way you will face the truth
We both will be stronger
And we'll lie down in a loneliness
Wake up with a ??
Even know we don't know it yet
We both will be stronger
We both will be stronger

I can't believe you're really gone now
But I know it's all the best
And I know that we were right
But I still reach for you each night
In midnight it hurts like hell

[Chorus]

So baby

[Chorus]

This is the window to my heart
I just want us to be for real
Baby I'm sorry for the way things are
Get back is always hard
And we both will be stronger

My Light?

In my time i have switched on many light's in many room's,
but mine was alway's dark,
i felt my light leaving me,
i was getting tired,
could someone help me find the switch,
all there seem's to be is gloom,
how much longer do i have to go on living this way,
why can't i find a room in which i am happy,
is this the way it is be, forever,
is this it for evermore,
sometimes, i see the light at the end,
not realising it is my reflection,
that my light has alway's been there,
i just needed to be told.

Didn't I

I didn't realise that you were someone else
Until it was too late
So fooled by your disguise, carried away
I thought you were my friend
But things change and you along with them
Gone are the days when we laughed through the night
And it will never be the same
I said it wouldn't last forever didn't I, didn't I
Don't want to say I told you so but didn't I
I gave you all my heart and soul and didn't I cry
Bus somewhere deep in your heart, deep down inside
I got to you
Oh baby didn't I
We made no promises, we lived for every moment
Together come what may
What need was there to lie, for heaven's sake
I love you anyway
But things change and time heals the wounded
Where there was pain there's a scar on my heart
Now I can't look at you the same
I said it wouldn't last forever didn't I, didn't I
Don't want to say I told you so but didn't I
I gave you all my heart and soul and didn't I cry
Bus somewhere deep in your heart, deep down inside
I got to you
Oh baby didn't I

That was our moment

That was our moment
As I sit and reminisce
I think of the night
When we first spoke
The moment our eyes met
You said you were a writer
Without realising I was a fighter
You did not even know my name
As I had your confidence tamed
That was our moment


Out of the blue the words came
I asked if you could spend the night with me
I promised you inspiration
As long as you gave me attention
I was sure to show great appreciation
You looked at me with a drunken gaze
Yours eyes and smile said you were interested
And we entered into a mutual agreement

On the long bus ride home
I hoped you would not change your mind
As your hands fiddled in your pocket
Thankfully your money you could not find
You were in a trance thoughtfully thinking
Perhaps debating if our moment was right or wrong
I could sense it
I could feel it
But my body was selfishly weak
I needed your kiss, I needed your touch
I needed to feel and touch your body till I was completely weak
That was my moment

I looked in a drunken daze
Back at my untidy place
Which almost made me lose face
My immediate craving got the better of me
As I quickly asked if you wanted a cup of tea
Then it was down to business in my bed
Until my sexual hunger was fed
What followed was a night of snoring
No conversation that would have been boring
Our moment was fantastic
Yet sadly very sick

It was only when we woke up
That I saw your beauty from the top
As you drew on your smoke
I read you a verse from my book
You said I picked you up and you felt cheap
What did you expect?
You thought you were intellect
But what you sow is what you reap
And as for the time being
This was our moment
Your time that you lent
To me for free

Prejudice is the conjurer of imaginary wrongs, strangling truth, overpowering reason, making strong men weak and weak men weaker. God give us the large hearted charity which "bearth all things, believe all things, hope all things, endure all things," which "thinks no evil."

In The City

As a child on the farm
I was warned of the wiles of the city
Of that demon disguise
As the dirt in the skies of the city
Well they say the proximity warps their minds
Until they're shooting one another just pass the time
And we live it appears
Both in spite and in fear of the city
I was constantly told
How our lives were controlled by the city
How they keep us in debt
With the trends that they set it's a pity
Now the beautiful people in the magazines
Got the normal ones living beyond their means
And the things that they said
Made me go in my head to the city
When I finally came
There's some things still the same in the city
You still lie under the thumb
Of the rich and the young and the pretty
Well they weren't much different than we might act
If there was that many others that closely packed
It's an ancient idea
But it struck me so clear in the city

Innocence.

What is innocence exactly?
Does it come with youth?
Is it a purity we all have?
Or is it just not knowing...

****

Not knowing who you are,
Or whats happening,
Not realising things that are obvious,
Or just not understanding everything and anything.

****

Innocence, we all say we see it in the eyes of the young,
We believe in it, because it protects us,
And even when we think it's gone,
Does a part remain inside of us?

Dads, Lads, And Granddads

Lads, Dads, and Granddads Free verse

My grandson,
skipping along, an eight year young kid
Behind his Dad, his hero, his idol,
his bright shining model
Sees him tall, straight, tough and confident
Sees a McMuffin buyer, a baseball coach and a dad

My grandson
sees not…. a loser, a slacker
Mostly absentee father,
lazy and irresponsible
Two days a week of being a dad
Providing little or nothing to ex-wife or son

My grandson,
I see in myself, skipping along
Following behind my dad
Who is tall, straight and confident
Giving me comfort, making me feel strong

My Dad
Taught me fishing and hunting
Not to lie, to attempt all manly things
and try not to fail or fall
he feared absolutely nothing and
could absolutely do it all

My Dad
was brave and made me proud
I skipped along behind him as well,
My bright shining model
Embarrassed by him? Never!
Proud of him always and ever

My Dad,
To others, a different man perhaps, than the man I knew.
likely so….Yes, most probably so

My grandson
in his memories I hope, forever sees
his dad, not as he really was,
but In the same way that I see mine.
Perfect! ….Yes, most probably so.
