Hiding by Helping
Give and give and give
Help and help and help
It’s all I want to do
Maybe I can help you
I reach out and over-stretch
Love to the next poor wretch
But when I’m out and giving so
It’s hard for receiver to get to know
The man I am, the one in here
I’m stopping them getting near
The regular me, he tries less hard
He’s quieter and more relaxed by far
He’s vulnerable and exposed to them
He’s the one they end up with in the end
No Tears for Change
It’s over
What you had is over
There’s no way to return
That bridge has been burned
It’s over
Move on
It’s time to move on
You can’t keep looking back
Look ahead up the track
Move on
There’s hope
In your future there’s hope
Tomorrow all starts with one step
Make plans. Happiness, you can get
There’s hope
Music in my head
The music changes
Dance to a different tune
The highs and lows
It feels too soon
Can still recall
Her deep embrace
Moving together
Now there’s no trace
Save for the notes
Running through my head
When I should be listening
To new music instead
Turning
The day is turning
Rolling round and down
The winds are blowing
Smiling faces turn to frowns
She’s not the one
The highs are now lows
Trouble’s brewing
The joys are now woes
Two Peas
You and I are different
Two peas from altered pods
We start from dissimilar places
Dissimilar views, dissimilar gods
Physically, strong attraction
Mentally, vibrant interaction
Spiritually, we can coexist
Holistically, can we make a go of this?
I believe; if I can stay as me
If you can remain as you
Both Not tying to force opinion
Both Not trying to change a view
Then, there’s hope that two, can
Never one become
But be more than their separate selves
One plus one does three sum
Strong Morning
I am risen
Stronger than the day
A match for all I meet
Set to succeed in every way
I am open
Observing, learning at pace
Confident in my evolving ethos
Reading the truth in every face
I am here
To be happy, to be me
Surrounded by uplifting souls
Energised, capable and free
No Demands
Smooth skinned
Bright eyed
Hold my hand
So different
Drawn in
Not planned
In the moment
Right now
I’m your man
Talk and trust
Challenge me
But no demands
Be calm
Don’t lean forward
Gentle every way I can
Feel at home
Hope she’ll come
Take as much time as you can stand
All You Can Eat?
What harm am I
Doing in meeting those
Surfing for dates online
And yet the feeling grows
That this isn’t right
This isn’t good for me
Discarding one, taking another
My mental health’s in jeopardy
See, the more you dismiss,
The more you commoditise
The more you feel numb
And your heart, you neutralise
By all means, sort the pile
Take the chaff from the wheat
But remember to choose.
This isn’t an “all you can eat”
Dating Discomfort
Meeting fresh faces
Exposing your dreams
Involves discomfort
Or so it seems
There’s a need to take risks
Share some of your heart
To listen to their stories
A sharing, testing start
Questions do follow
Thoughts flood into your head
Some painful, some exciting
Talk small about books you’ve read
Back, forth, exchanging a view
Close together but rarely at ease
Until. one or other or both decide
About the person she or he sees
Shake hands, hug, kiss
Is he someone you’ll miss?
Smiles and laughter
Seeking happy ever after
Quest for Love
