Immobilised

A shroud of so much unsaid
Dreams built, and destroyed
Trust, and fear of dishonesty
A heart, by too many toyed
Walls, only one still intact
By Lady Powers employed
Desire, to enter the darkness
And yet, irritated and annoyed
By a sense of manipulation
Though also, times of feeling buoyed
With bursts of exhilaration
Capped by moments overjoyed
By the endless possibilities
But, immobilised beside the void

Stepping Out

Moving at the speed of light
From the start right to the end
And beyond, as it turns out
My head is still in a spin

Thinking of the pure delight
There’s no longer a defence
To keep these emotions out
Or to keep the desire in

And now in the dead of night
The questions never relent
And I’m filled with so much doubt
About what and where we’ve been

For you are with her tonight
And all of my love is spent
So tonight I’m stepping out
As temptation pulls me in

Unknown

To step upon the shaky raft
And leave the well-known shore
Takes courage.

To turn your back on your past
In the hope of finding more
Takes faith.

To not u-turn once you depart
But sail your journey true
Takes strength.

Blind Love

“Everything will become clear”
A friend has said to me
And the evidence is emerging
Helping me to clearly see
How desire can make you blind
The question arising now
Is how much more will I find?

Change

A turning point.
A change in direction.
A chance to take all that has been,
And make a new projection.
