A PORTRAIT OF LOVE
Such a sad affair, a runny watercolour sketch
A lesson in life upon my brain to etch
Only loved with a pure heart
A hauntingly beautiful work of art
That touched my soul like no other
In shades of blue and azure
Paint tears down the canvas
Forever, for eternity and ageless
Unconditionally so and forever in a sad hue
Sad shades of grey and disbelief memories of you
And all because you could not accept what was true
Preferring the vibrancy of lies and fabrications
Distortions and mistrust are your demons
Not mine, I only painted love pure of my soul
My fragile heart you ripped apart and stole
You decimated what was beauteous that I created
And there a portrait of love lies desecrated

A MELODY WITH NO SONG
What was here one moment is now gone
Some how what seemed forever what went wrong?
Things got misconstrued like a melody that lost its song
Now my heart is lost and doesn't know where it belongs
All for stupid misunderstandings
For letting others in that knew nothing
You let others meddle in what they did not know
You refused to listen and to discuss you would not go
You saw everything as black and white
Refusing to see the grey shades in between and thinking you were always right
But nothing in life is simple, it just never is
All you had to do was listen to your inner voice, it would say this
When you search for answers you have them all along
You will find these answers in your heart, for that's where love's answers belong
And so you have created a melody with no song
A tune of love with a missing part
A love affair with a broken heart

A PERFECT DREAM
If I could dream a perfect dream it would be with you
And stand on beach at sunset bathed in sun's dying hues
And as we watched the sun go down walking on the sand
You'd pull me tight closer to you, as you took my hand
Our gaze would meet as would lips in the dying light
A beautiful promise of what's to come in the advancing night
As dying embers of the sun turned to midnight blue
The waves muffled pleasure's calls of being one with you

A PRETTY PICTURE
I had painted a pretty picture
That was my fairy tale
Where dreams come with happy endings
And into sunsets we'd set sail
I coloured it oh so prettily in a rosy hue
And filled it in so warm and fuzzy
Full of love for me and you
I'd finished my picture completed it with frame
Decorating and surrounding it full of loving hugs
Alas before the paint had dried, over it began to rain
All my love I'd worked into it was so easily taken away
All for one shower of lies
A pretty picture ruined and destroyed that day

FRESH NEW HOPES
I like the early hours when the birds sing
They herald in each new day in Spring
I love the stillness and the tranquility
And yet remind me of nature's fragility
The sky offers rainbow hues
Beginning with a myriad of blues
And there begins the golden light
As dawn makes it's daily flight
For with the dawn a fresh message of hope
Knowing whatever challenges are brought I will cope
As each new day begins the slate is wiped clean
No matter how difficult the journey has been
As birds sing to herald in each new day to come
I am granted fresh new hopes and my battles are won
