I sit here in the tower
am used to feeling cold
I have the candles to keep me warm
but no ones hand to hold

im used to feeling lonely
im used to feeling bad
but today i saw a shooting star
and began to feel so sad

i had no one to share it with
to sit and stare in awe
so i look away from its beautiful light
and stare dowm at the floor

what is that i feel upon my face ?
a single teardrop falls
ive never felt this way before
why is this pain so cruel?

and as i sit here shaking
i see a shadow tall
nobodys there
but upon the chair a rainbow blanket fall
a thousand tiny stardrops upon its silken threads
a sprinkling of moondust
this must be in my head

i take it and i wrap it
around my body cold
and suddenly im lifted a light fills up my soul
my body is transported
somewhere i know not how

but finaly i happy
no locked doors around me now
i fly out into the darkend night
and down to the grass below
its scented with the sweet night stock and bathed in the moonlights glow

and he is here and waiting
my lover and my friend
is this the beginning of the story
or happily ever after

the end ,,,,,,,,,

IVE SEEN IT

ive seen the AURORA BOREALIS!
ive seen its colours swirl .. been held awe struck by its beauty
ive seen its song unfirl

laid there onthe grassy hill
i watched it move for hours
then it left and was replaced by a stream of meteor showers
what luck is this to be here
and watch the rythmic skies
but darling i havent left the room im looking in your eyes......

as a child id dream of castles
their towers in the sky
in which slept fair maidens
and round which pegasus would fly
where knights would fight the dragons
and save the maiden fair
where fairies danced with pixes
and rainbows ended there

then childhood slipped away from me
and dreams changed into life
i was told that fairies dont exist
and winged "orses" dont take flight
we learnt that dragons died out a million moons ago
and the knights in shining armour?
back into books they go

through life ive turned the pages
and seen some wonderous sights
like multi coloured rainbows and
shooting stars at night

i used to wish upon them
and close my eyes real tight
and then somebody tod me
" hey they are just meteorites"

why do we teach our children to
let go of their dreams?
to put away their childhood books
of fairys elfs and queens?

so dont mind me ,ive decided
to try and dream again
to wish upon the shooting stars
to find the rainbows end

i will tame the snow white pegasus
and as dusty pages turn
i will find my own true fairytale
maybe tis this fair maidens turn

ive seen the castle standing
it is overgrown with weeds
i will paint its gothic towers
and plant some mystic seeds
i will lay upon its gentle lawns
and watch the clouds float by

and when the sun sets softly
and day is out of reach
i will take a rose and walk with it
along a moonlit beach
and should a star fall by me
i ll close my eyes and make my wish
then sit upon the silken sands and watch the flying fish

I stand here frozen to the spot
people carry on walking
talking
shopping
cars screech
birds sing
children cry
but me?
im frozen
cannot move
lifes slow motion
heart thumping
mouth dry
eyes widened
fingers numb
spine tingles
i turn
face burns
smile widens
heart still thumping
blood pumping
suddenly you move
hand out
stares held
touch
BANG!
in one second
pulse races
people
places
words
faces
and this
first kiss
held here
no fear
just love
hands like gloves
you win
i grin
time starts
swap hearts
walk,,,,,,,,,

Once was a love and always will be
A Love for all eternity
A gossimer thread of brightest gold
A delicate binding its strength untold
A flicker of candle light glimmers today
Was sparked a million miles away
We will meet again,but will we know?
You touched my hand, my heart .my soul.

dedicated to love that reaches through time and space............

[this is the dedication in my manuscript which is sitting on a desk somewhere waiting !]

today is dedicated to gypsy,,,,

I thought id tell you in a rhyme
would take to much time
i thought i would tell you in a painting
would run out of paint
i thought i would tell you
cant find the words
tell you day by day then
will take a life time
or can tell you like this............

one kiss x

a poem

To say i miss you
would be like saying
the flowers miss the rain
to say .
i ache for you
would be like the sun never shining again
to say i long for your touch
would be like
saying to much
and not enough
to say i want to feel your kiss
would be like saying the stars will never shine again
to lose you would be more painfull
then having to count every grain of sand
that was ever washed up on any beach
to say goodbye would be the day i die
to see one single teardrop fall would
break my heart
unrepairable,
so i say from my heart
just stay a part of me
and i of thee
and share a life of
sun .rain.stars moons ,gentle kisses and sandy beaches ,

so.
so here we are
just standing
not sure what to say
already said too much
i know you so well but not at all
you own my heart
but this is only the start
so...
so is this ok
is this our day
just standing not sure what to do
do i touch you ?
are you real

so
so how do you feel
yes i am real
your just standing there
and i play with my hair
nerves....
adrennalin pumping
heart jumping

so
so one step closer
and then a smile
seems simple but
says it all
nerves go i fall into your arms your heart

so
so 50 years later
[glad i dumped the waiter ]
still standing
side by side
our souls tied
from a simple day we found a way
and ......................

so,

cant
cant find words to write this poem
cant
cant find words to explain
cant cant find words to end this feeling
or to ease the pain
cant go on not knowing
what im supposed to do
cant
cant be happy to be living
if living isnt with you
cant is what i said to you
cant.. its way to tough
cant i gave up trying
cant when things got rough
cant getover crying
cant make you understand
cant begin to tell you
how it felt to hold your hand
cant get over leaving
getting on the train
wanting to be back with you and in your arms again
cant fight the feeling of loss
thats tearing me apart
cant take back the things i said and mend your broken heart
cant ever get over the special bond weve had
im walking like a zombie dont notice what i do
i had to give up the fight and tell you we were through,
cant make you understand i thought it was for the best,
please just know i love you ,,you were and are the best,

dance
once in a lifetime
you get that chance
its your turn for the slow dance
its up to you if you stay in your seat
or take a hand and get to your feet

you can find reasons to decline
but one day will you find
you lost your chance at the perfect partner
for the slow dance

so get to your feet when the time is right
dance your way into the night
the music is playing you just have to hear
if you listen its pretty clear
and if they are listening to the same tune too
you will dance this dance your whole life through

so sit and stare at the dancers
or dance out of step with someone wrong
or listen to your soul now
and write your own song

dont worry if you dont know the steps
take one at a time
you may not know how the dance will end
but hope and it will be fine
and when the music stops playing
your dance will carry on
if your partner in the slow dance
is the one in whos arms you belong.
