THE MORNING AFTER

GOOD MORNING BEAUTY
ITS LIKE WE NEVER SLEPT
DRIFTING THROUGH DREAMS UPON
US THE DAYLIGHT CREPT

I KISS BOTH YOUR EYES
WITH NO GUILTY INTENT
I PLACE MY HAND ON YOUR HEART
TO THAT PLACE I NEVER WENT

THE MORNING CAST SUN
SUBMERGES YOUR CARPET
ACROSS OUR STREWN CLOTHES
WHERE LAST NIGHT STARTED

NO PLACE HERE FOR JEALOUSY
OR LOVERS LEAPS
NO EXCUSE OR MEANING
AS WE CLIMB FROM THE SHEETS

NO TALK OF POEMS
FALLING STARS OR SHORES
NO AWKWARD SMILE
AS I CLOSE YOUR BEDROOM DOOR

Rain and Sex


RAIN AND SEX

FLASH OF FLESH
LACK OF RESPECT
DETACHED, DIGRESSED
THE PAIN AS YET
LEST WE FORGET


BREATHLESS SEX
AND LIVES NEGLECT
UNLATCHED, REPRESSED
THE GAIN AS MET
FRESHLY LAMENT


RESTLESS MESS
A CONTRITE NET
DISPATCHED, DEPRESSED
THE RAIN AS SET
WHERE WE RELENT

UNSPOKEN


UNSPOKEN

SO MANY WORDS
I HAVE WRITTEN
CROSSED OUT
FOR YOU NOT TO SEE
TOO MANY NOW

TOO MUCH OF ME
LETS MY HEART
TRAVEL BUSINESS CLASS
WITH ALL YOUR CONSTANT HAS.

YOU HAUNT MY HALLS
WITH AN ABSTRACT GAZE.
I HAUNT YOUR GAZE
WITH EYES THAT FALL
BACK TO THESE WORDS
THAT ARE MEANT TO BE HEARD.

THIS CURIOUS IMPULSE

THIS CURIOUS IMPULSE

DO YOU STILL BELIEVE IN CASTLES BY THE SEA AND
US, WRAPPED IN AN OLD BLANKET
UNDISTURBED BY THE VISITING RELENTLESS SURF
THAT CLAMBERS ONTO OUR NOSTALGIC SHORES?
CAN WE LAY STILL, DEEMED LOST AND FORTIFIED
BY OUR SELF-WEAVED EDEN?
DO THE TENTATIVE BREATHS THAT SHIFT
OUR INSIDES, MOVE THE EARTH, THIS GARDEN
AND FIND HOME, SOLACE, ARTISAN PEACE
UNDER CRIMSON SUNSETS MISTAKENLY CLOSED?
DO WE UNDERSTAND THIS CURIOUS IMPULSE THAT KEEPS
THIS CASTLE EBBING AND FLOWING BETWEEN OUR ROCKS?

I WILL CLIMB BACK THROUGH YOUR EYES

I WILL CLIMB BACK THROUGH YOUR EYES

PRIZE FIGHTER PRIZE FOOL
WHO ELSE WOULD CLAMBER
THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE
TO BE BEATEN BY YOU
CONSENT TO BE BORN AGAIN
CONTENT TO BE WEARING PAIN
IT ENCIRCLES ME
LIKE THIS DYING SUMMER
STILL I RETURN TO LOVE-
WELL VERSED IN CHRIST
BUT CAUGHT UP IN YOUR THORNS
THE PASSING OF NOTHING MEANS SOMETHING
I ENCOMPASS THIS ALL ENCOMPASSING EMPTINESS
OPEN MY PALM AND BLOW...........
BACK TO THE AIR FROM WHERE IT CAME
ANOTHER SEASON GIVEN BACK
ANOTHER REASON DRIVEN TRACK
PLAYED TO DEAF EARS
APOLOGETIC INSINCERE

I WILL CLIMB BACK THROUGH YOUR EYES
AND MAKE SOME SPACE FOR LOVE.

Another rejection...pattern forming???

Just received a letter from Oldham Art gallery rejecting my proposal for exhibition.
Am I gutted?...Dont know really. I shall push on and look at some other angles.

New tune.

Its saturday morning and my daughter, Emily and I have just wrote a beautiful tune. She is only 12 but she plays guitar years above herself. The song has a Kings of Convenience feel to it...cos we like them.
Emily wrote the chords and I added the lead picking notes. When it is finished and recorded, we will post it on my website at FM.
