Behind Them:
She took his hardness
Softened his belief
He gave what she’d not had
She said she’d never give
Sex lay behind them
Love let in begins

Save Face:
To be sucked in
You cross a line
Left best a fool
At worst ignored
Let conscience air
Not skewed desire
Step back save face
No mirror lies

Do You Ever…
Do you ever find
you need to say so much
then realise no words exist
that can replace a touch a kiss
Do you ever feel
a longing deep inside
you know will not subside
that will never fade away
Do you ever wonder
why my hand is not in yours
why our eyes can’t say it all
why we believe yet never see

Dare You?:
Lay between the lines
Pressed by their subconscious
The wet of their wanting
The pierce of unheard screams
Dare you read their needs?

When:
Do the chords still resonate
When he pulls her strings that way
Does the song still play
When he takes his words away

Spring Shower:
Red kites ever circling
crapping on the washing
big birds no argument
quick cycle re-hang
damn it now it’s raining
Doves on the fence
at it don’t they ever stop
clouds rung dry again
washing takes a tumble
irony sinks in
Robin there’s always one
beak points to wet soil
kneel and trowel obediently
red breast a foot away
sun kissed distant memory

Fate?
He won her
She lost him
Fate got bored
Time cut in

Note It:
Can you play it
No not say it
Spoken words
Who you kidding
I’ll only feel it
When you note it
Go on hit the keys
Make a chord
No sheet stuff
Your own rift
What you got inside

Lips sealed:
Need silence
no noise
no unwanted sound
heard her breathing
isn’t now
lips sealed
she’s gasping
going down

More Than?
We’ve lost the plot
Spent so long here
Lost track of where been
Who wrote what and when
Ever nudging squeezing
Seeing who’ll give in
Who’ll break first
Who cares most
And on and on
Why do we do this
All so scary
the risks we take
For no good reason
We need to speak
To hear to see
To know if friends
Or more than?
…..
