I had a dream when I was young
That life would be a lot of fun.
But with the passing of the years,
It drowned beneath a sea of tears.

While walking on the shore of time,
I watched the tide come in.
The wreckage of that youthful dream,
Was slowly drifting in.

A beating heart must surely scream
And wish to stop – without a dream!
And so I try to dream again,
To play once more, in life’s sick game.

I close the curtains and drift away,
From another pointless day!
Then reluctantly, again I wake

Once upon a time
A boy met a girl.
They talked for many hours
And appeared to get on well.

In each other they believed
They’d found a very special treasure.
For each time they met
Their hearts would dance –
It was always such a pleasure.

Geography seemed the only thing
To be standing in their way –
Of enjoying each other’s company
Each and every day.

The solution was an obvious one
And hence they swiftly planned their wedding.
Oblivious to the inevitable fate
On the path that they were headin… Continue

Mr Party animal,
Is now stuck in a cage!
Which isn’t that unusual,
For mammals of his age.

Freedom vanished suddenly!
He’s now awoken from the dream.
And he longs to turn the clock back
To when he was nineteen.

Responsibility and commitment.
Form the bars that lock him in.
It begun the day he took those vows
And received a golden ring!

In the hour glass of life,
It seems the sand is gaining speed.
But only when the sands all gone
Is he likely to be freed!

His memories are the DJ
Who plays th… Continue

Some have too much sun
Others too much rain
Our pleasure rarely lasts for long
Unlike when we’re in pain!

There is the rich
There is the poor
I have no car
You have four!

Some have a mansion
And drink martini on the rocks.
While others drink themselves to death
Inside their cardboard box!

There is blessing or a curse
There is for better or for worse
This is the world we’re all living in
This is the world we’re all breathing in

It’s an unfair world both today and in the past
And a crazy kind… Continue

I know that on the cross,
God’s love was shown me there.
But convince my vacant arms,
The embrace they lack is prayer!

You might advise me to focus on heaven.
Where every need is met.
But I don’t believe my journey there,
Is due to start just yet.

You might suggest I need a stronger faith
But faith my hand can’t squeeze.
This famine of affection
Is like a bitter winter breeze!

Have I not prayed hard enough?
Is it so sinful that I pine?
For my heart desires a loving touch
Which I don’t find in… Continue
