Eyes opened to the wind

I close my eyes

To think of you

Beaches and blue skies

All those other dreams

That didn’t quite come true

The door opens

A shadow falls

Its fear reminds me

Of empty railway stations

& pointless telephone calls

I listen to the wind

The nights are long

Those friends I introduced

My friends, came back to you

Didn’t they? They came on strong

Coalesce

The you who enters my dreams

Each time a little more perfection

It is true, two, who enter my dreams

Each time more hurt in the resurrection

Beautiful bobs, of burgundy & brunette 

Steps taken, set down neatly with divinity

Together slowly, the two of you meet

A debt approaching the depths of infinity

AM

I search a trillion images

Not ever finding one of you

Even Godzilla can't diminish

The mannerisms that I view

Branches are black again

Snow melts all day through

I ache to find your picture

Loving to rummage for you

I merge a thousand words

Untold dedications to you

Evidently there is no finish

To moods I wantonly accrue

Romances are back again

Love smelts in and through

I make to find a simpler verse

Words that capture you anew

As absent as the breath you draw

The anti-gravitational mist rises

Prizes itself from the fields of frozen snow

I didn't mean for you to break my heart

I didn't dream of the reasons to make it so

I didn't ever mean to lose you
I never wanted you to go

The day is as still as your absence 

As absent as the breath you draw

I didn't ever mean to lose you 

In my schemes I never meant for you to go

I didn't ever mean to lose you
I never wanted you to go

The canal surface settles the reflections

Fringed by the winter white hedgerow

I didn't mean for you to break my heart

I didn't dream of the reasons to make it so

I didn't ever mean to lose you
I never wanted you to go

The day is as still as your absence 

As absent as the breath you draw

I didn't ever mean to lose you 

In my schemes I never meant for you to go

I didn't ever mean to lose you
I never wanted you to go

The snowflakes that float on the breeze

Crystallised water as the thoughts that flow

I didn't mean for you to break my heart

I didn't dream of the reasons to make it so

I didn't ever mean to lose you
I never wanted you to go

The day is as still as your absence 

As absent as the breath you draw

I didn't ever mean to lose you 

In my schemes I never meant for you to go

I didn't ever mean to lose you
I never wanted you to go

In my schemes I never meant for you to go

In my dreams I never meant for you to go

In my schemes I never wanted you to go

In my dreams I never wanted you to go

I didn't ever mean to lose you
I never wanted you to go
I didn't ever mean to lose you
I never wanted you to go

Basking in our soft soled, sequin shoes

Between the waking and the dreaming

There are things I mean to do

Between the doubtful thoughts of meaning

There is the love that I save for you

I am after finding a quieter life

I am after searching it out with you

I'm all for flying paper kites

Skipping out under silvered skies of blue

I'm all for painting picture frames

Stripping them back, to timeless delicate hues

Between the waking and the dreaming

There are things I mean to do

Between the doubtful thoughts of meaning

There is the love that I save for you

I am after reminders of simpler times

I am after minding them with you

I'm all for walks on submissive sands

Basking in our soft-soled, sequin shoes

I'm all for playing lovers games

Asking out for sensitive sensual truth

Between the waking and the dreaming

There are things I mean to do

Between the doubtful thoughts of meaning

There is the love that I save for you

Between the doubtful thoughts of meaning

There is the love that I save for you

Between the waking and the dreaming

There is the love that I save for you

Between the doubtful thoughts of meaning

Between the waking and the dreaming

There is the love that I save for you

There is the love that I save for you

There is the love that I save for you

There is the love that I save for you

Between the waking and the dreaming

Between the picture frames and the sequins

There is the love that I save for you

There is the love that I save for you

There is the love that I save for you

There is the love that I save for you 

There is the love that I save for you

There is the love that I save for you
