NIGHTMARES AND DREAMSCAPES

FOR JIM

Teach me, Beloved, to welcome death
Opening my arms to the final breath
Show me the pity locked tight in your soul
Give me the answers that help me be whole
Lift me up near you, close to your heart
Keep me there with you, no more apart
This world is so empty without your warm light
A shell without substance, like eyes without sight
My anger destroyed us, drove you to your grave
Without you beside me it's hard to be brave
Harsh words that cut deeply and rivers of tears
Will never diminish this pain through the years.

KISMET

A glance, a touch, a whispered word
Of such small things does fate decide
Lives changed for an eternity
Wars lost, hearts shattered, worlds collide.

August 1999

TRAPPED

Nothing will ever be the same
From that first moment that we met
There's no-one else to share the blame
The trap was sprung, the course was set
One look into your emerald eyes
One touch, one kiss I'll not forget
The promise of infernal paradise
Was all it took to close the net.
