Choose a positive path
In a complex world of layered lives
Commitments to work, to kids and ex wives
The simplest and purest love, true peace
Needs two hearts who can be at ease
With changing plans, altered days
Perfect aims affected in mays ways
At least for a time
Then they meet, breathe, it all makes sense
Love is great, love a gift, love is patience
My heart is broken
Not for lack of repair
A part was removed
It’s no longer there
It’s gone overseas
To a place far away
Far cross the oceans
And there it will stay
A heart not intact
Still functions it seems
He’s gone from my country
But lives in my dreams
He’s made a new life
Has a family himself
Is successful and happy
Good health, Good wealth
But he’s not here to wrestle
To chide, tease and to play
To be brothers in arms, stand
Not let life get in the way
I miss you my brother
And the years fail to heal
The gap in my heart
Your absence I feel.
Swirling all around you
Passing by you on the street
Love and it’s potential, is there, it’s real
In every person that you meet
On the tube, the bus, in the corner
Sitting close, or across the room
Love and it’s potential, is there, it’s real
You don’t have to be alone
At all hours of the day
Morning, noon and night
Love and it’s potential, is there, it’s real
In the eyes, it’s love that’s shining bright
Stay open and you will feel it
Be yourself, in time, you will see
There are many loves and lovers
For us, for you and me
Street scene, approaching lady light
She didn’t smile when she passed
Walked right on by, hope as I might
No turning to admit a love that would last
We made no contact, no awareness
But still there’s something yearning in me
A connection likely just of the eye
No way that this momentary love might be
How can I feel so soon?
This is no learing letching stare
To my love, this echo does not compare
This is a function of a heart laid bare
Raw nerves floundering at my surface
Open, exposed to every passerby
Indiscriminately seeking purpose
Can’t turn off feeling but I try
Love having been flexed is strong
But with no you, has no where to go
So as I walk into work on Tuesday
I fall momentarily for people I don’t know
In two weeks in and need help building a base of readers to take my messages of love in verse to the world. How can I improve my site, my posts, my set up… any comments very gratefully received!

I love you and feel loved too
But you will grow beyond me
I’m not the final one for you
I’d like it, but I’m not your destiny
Don’t hide our difference
Right now this hurts
Admit the apparent gap
Admit the need to divert
See it for what it is
Identify and isolate
Long term problems
Don’t procrastinate
Or else question all
When all else is good
Our love has been true
But we’ve tried all we could
We will be friends still
It’s hard to love and let go
Hard to do the right thing
Heart holds on, denies what I know
I love you and feel loved too
But you will grow beyond me
I’m not the final one for you
I’d like it, but I’m not your destiny
Love in focus
Love I see
Sitting here
Your love’s with me
Heart swells
My mind still
Eyes see you
Emotions overspill
On holiday
Out or at Home
All our times
Together, we’ve grown
My one amazing
My golden star
My lioness
We’re never apart
Love in focus
Love I see
Sitting here
Your love’s with me
Human haze,
Tube packed,
Commuter daze,
Spaces stacked,
Rumbling progress
Grumbling mass
Station after station
Rolling past
Then stop.
Doors open
Shining light
Smiles abound
Like day from night
A swish of hair
A quiet look
She enters
Ground shook
Corner rail
My hand by hers
Raging thoughts
Love whispers
Phone immersed
Hidden eyes
My waking dream
Tube surprise.
Twisting tales of love
Boy and girl embroiled
In quest, true and pure
In adventure, evil foiled
Where hearts are exposed
No soft fairy story exists
Lives at stake, battles fought
With so much at risk.
Fail and face a life
With a soul mate lost
Succeed and rapture find
Existence, joy reinforced
Understand your plot
Check the tale you are in
Disney cute or crooked dark,
Brooding from brothers Grimm
Be sure whatever you see
Go forth with blessed hope
Stay open of true heart
Two souls may yet elope
Let down your scaling hair
From your lonely tower high
Keep watch for kindred folk
The good twist for you is nigh
Over the horizon comes
Your knight in shining armour
Be bold, ready in yourself
Embrace the positive drama
Know who you are, be strong
Have learned what’s key for you
Happy ever after is there
But it depends on what you do
I will take the pain
If that means what we had was love
A furrowed brow and lack of sleep I will keep
If that means what we had was love
I will accept a broken heart, my world torn apart
If that means what we had was love
Retain memories precious, despite making me nauseas
If that means what we had was love
For if it wasn’t love and this is for naught
I won’t be able to face the brutal emotional onslaught
I will wish you well, not cast into hell
If that means what we had was love
Forgive your changed mind, try to be kind
If that means what we had was love
I’ll face the friends we shared, alone, torment shown
If that means what we had was love
Find a way to feel once more, a loving encore
If that means what we had was love
For if it wasn’t love and this was all a lie
I will lock myself away, and hope will die
