Hasten Time

Did you feel that?
I so hope you did
I was consumed
By feelings you hid
But please know this
I will love you
For ever and a day
Future lifetimes too
Don’t fret my Sweet
About what’s done
Let it all go
Start having fun
Please be happy
‘Cause time flies…
Or so they say
Might just be lies
But what if it’s true?
Then fun’s required
To next meet you
In a blink of an eye

Will Time Tell?

I ran into your friend,
Who asked me to come back.
I said I’d think it over,
Maybe a little down the track.
But, that’s when I was sober,
Things are a little different now.
My intoxicated mind
Tells me there is now way how.
Just the sight of her,
Reminded me of you.
Every time I went there,
Would remind me of that too.
I’d be thinking about what was,
What is, and what could’ve been.
As well as about what isn’t,
And what could never be.
So, while my reasons have been
Different in the past,
I still can’t go back there,
Not while this feeling lasts.
I don’t know about a lifetime,
As you have voiced as well,
But, I guess we have to wait,
And only time will tell.

Tail Spin

Sitting under the eucalypts
By a creek so still
Staring at the evidence
Of intoxicated messages
Wondering just how and why
I started on this slide
And if I ever will
Pull out of this tail spin
I know it’s a slippery slope
I’m already halfway down
Momentum is building
Feeling out of control
Dreams of oblivion abound
But I’m searching for the desire
To fully live this life
Instead of just getting higher
Or remaining in a permanent
State of inebriation

Reverie

Our songs play on repeat
Blaring in my ears
My mind starts to retreat
Losing all its fears
And I get lost in memories
Of how it used to be
And wonder constantly
About what could have been

Still My Fairytale

Sometimes I miss you
More than I can bear
From almost constant contact
To suddenly not there
Then I see your words
Or hear your voice in my ears
And next thing I know
I am reduced to tears
We know it wouldn’t work
Let’s not kid ourselves there
But I want to be the primary
Not second as the spare
Throw me in the spotlight
Not the shadows and the dark
Hidden as though I’m shameful
Or that I bear a leper’s mark
Yet I love you just the same
Doubt that will ever pale
Because now, as at the start,
You are my Fairytale

Dibs

Other loves have come and gone
But you’re the one that lingers on
Your lips still kiss me in my dreams
And you’re always on my mind it seems
As you know, I’m calling dibs
In any other lives we live
So there you have some words for you
And hopefully a smile or two
