I was thinking of you today Thinking of how you made me laugh. How coming home to you put a smile on my faceAnd that even in our hardest moments I never  alone Loving you taught me muchI learnt to laugh at myself, love myself despite my faultsYou  made me want to be a better personI found myself looking at my days, thinking, what can I do for you to make your day happier In quiet moments when I couldn't sleep, I'd discove...

Sometimes in the early hours When we cannot sleep Our thoughts may turn to things That make our eyes weep   Sometimes in those moments When thoughts run through our head We ponder on what happened Things done, thought and said   Perhaps we may have Somewhere deep inside Something that may feel broken Which we choose to hide   It's in the early hours That maybe we reflect Of places we have been And of people met   It's not...

I haven't lost you I just got lost in a maze   There we were together Then one day you took a different direction And I couldn't find you You had found the end of the maze Walked your own path Chosen your own way   Oh I wish I'd seen the path you were walking Wish I'd been able to show you a different way   But sometimes alas That isn't our choice...   I'm lost in this maze But sometimes as I turn a corner I see the footp...

All of our regrets will be goneas soon as we have passed beyond. Beyond the aches, the sorrows,all will pass away. But the love will live,it simply will not die.Is this understood my precious, darling, friends and lovers?Is it understood, please, and thank you,my treasured gems of life and joy,am I not ever so polite? Do you recall the way we walked,the way we talked,the way we cried.The way you walked awayand left me won...

"Do you want to go?" My question is to the room. One set of ears hears in a dead sleep. Springing up. Feet in perfect ballet turnout. Spinning in circles. Pirouettes of ecstasy. "Why does he do that?" She's asked the question before. Sort of rhetorically. Aware that the pup enjoys going out. She's right to wonder, though. "Why does he do his dance of joy, whirling around as if in ballet slippers?" "The pup hears something...

In every pencil thatI have used to draw lines,with different colors andwith a different hue, different it may be butwhat a beautifulcombination they arewhen together in one.In every watercolorI have used to draw,when I was young.The canvas got messy andlooks useless.When they dried upthey come alive, andit becomes a new life.In every brush strokes ofcolors that touch my life.It made me laugh,it made me cry,it even made me...

Quarter-moon, harvest moon, blood moon, lover’s moon A cow jumped over the moon, Was I once so very young And grew old so very soon?   An ebbing tide, a waning heart, the tears of hopes betrayed So far away, yet here on earth The moon is much the symbol In every skit of life that’s played.   A cardboard box, a wooden sword, a towel makes a cape A rocket ship to the moon The wildest imagination of a child Their dreams take...

Almost forty years have passed since that fateful dayWhen in a moment of anguish our affair died,Discovered in the tender bliss of recent sex,Nakedly entwined in each other’s loving arms.We had grown careless under the beguiling spell Of overwhelming desire, blinded by passion,And reaped the just harvest of our duplicity.For several weeks I thought my life was threatenedAnd I cannot imagine the daily horrorOf your domesti...

David Thompson was the type of person whose IQ was nowhere near three figures, who came across as someone who was not quite a simpleton, but oafish, who fell for any scam and con that came his way. Ask him the time, and he would stare at his watch for a while whilst he worked it out. Directions were also a problem when he knew where the place was. Yet, to this day, he always managed to be quite wealthy, and kept himself n...

This is true if all else fails,we traveled much we two,within our hearts,between our minds,remembering more, much more,teaching you and reaching memore grandly than we knew.So much has been together,so much has been renewed,smell the moisture, wetness,hear the splashing streets,far and wide we wanderedand we will anew. Both of us, the pair of us,we went where I had been,where we have been was romanceso both of us are true...

I awoke with a start. The trumpets were still sounding! Astrid, too, was awake and sitting upright. What was going on? Was that an alarm, were we being attacked? I leapt immediately from my bed and donned my cloak. Grabbing my bow and quiver I ran out of the chamber and into the courtyard. The trumpets were blowing loudly and urgently and men were lining the city walls. I ran up the steps and stared out over the battlemen...

There is something peculiarly British about the fact that we have many different words for precipitation arising from our legendary obsession with the weather, itself not surprising for a people living on an island at the junction of four weather systems but with a prevailing westerly airstream. In contrast, the most dramatic and powerful of human emotions is summed up in a single rather bland word “love.”  To the Ancient...
