Blades & Leaves

Where the solicitors and farmers come together to drink
Where the Irishman paid the Welshman to sculpt his landscape
Where the lochs and the mountains gave life to the sea
And there was music; the fiddle players, the Morris dancers
And the flags and the bunting and the maypole and the girls
Where the night stars and the moons shone on the peacock
Where the sound system and the echoes echoed at one
Where the party people became the party people
And the clothes were bright and the clothes were torn
And the flowers were thrown on into tomorrow
Where the silence would wonder will it all happen again

Blade Cuts

He enjoyed the pub on Friday tea times. All those fine young blades ready for the chancing and the dancing; he was cool, he new he could cut it; he didn't know though, that she could cut it too.

The frost was keen on the fields as steam poured out of the cooling towers; the river cut as a blade through the landscape, going across country from the Humber to the Severn.

He went for the interview in Fairford, with the Jewish gentleman whose father had invented a safety mechanism for helicopter rotor blades. Blades that cut through the air so viscous, so loud. He drank their brandy and smoked their cigars but he couldn't cut it when it counted. He didn't take the job.

Feelings

The bed was freshly made
Clean white sheets and duvet

He climbs into bed
She finishes her preparations then joins him

They lay apart for a while
He senses something is not quite right

Come close my love
Cuddle up to me
Are you ok
What's the matter
Please tell me

He feels her tears, as her head lays on his chest
What are you thinking about he asks

She sobs
I was thinking about my boy
She sobs

That's ok, you need to keep on loving him he says
You need to let him keep on loving you

Pillar Talk

You called out to me last night
You were quiet
You were grieving
You called out to me last night
You were sobbing
You scraped your breathing

I called out to you last night
Feel for love
Keep on receiving
I called out to you last night
I am listening
Keep on believing

You called out to me last night
You so gentle
Your tears slow leaving
You called out to me last night
Hold me close
Your faith I'm needing

I called out to you last night
I am here
On your love I'm leaning
I called out to you last night
We are together
We will keep on keeping

Inspired by Images

Girls and boats and bright blue flowers
Past and present and subliminal powers
Sunrise and sunset and those lost hours
Night and day and the hope that towers

You know where I have been
You know where I am
You know where I go
You know I know of the past 
You know because I let it show

Moments and minutes and days of years
Waiting and waiting and waiting for tears
Memories and reminders and thoughts of fears
Skating and dating and mating to once loud cheers

I don't know where you have been
I don't know where you are
I don't know where you go
I don't know if you know of the past
I don't know because you don't let it show
