take the old, and make it new paper over the pain although the cracks still let the love in as the master said the world changes as we learn to make it new I’ll still care for you let’s use what we got make do and make new love is there for others too but for you my love will always linger

Lovers
lover cover me during tough and rough times better days await I’m sure lovers in their summer dresses wind pressed fabric caressing the curves sunlit backdrops to, images of flesh through silk and lace some girl to thrill me again, and again and yes, drive me crazy with who knows what when I look in your eyes I’ll be dreaming with eyes wide open as the sun goes down

Tunnel of Love
roll up, roll up shouts life as you excitedly queue to enter the tunnel of love what beckons what awaits so much excitement the yawning future sucks you in darkness beckons, engulfs holding on tight to each other and our dreams forevermore distant lights approach eager anticipation unfolds what awaits love, eternal happiness for evermore …… pain, longing, separation forevermore ….. patiently, silently we await the darkness slowly lifts

The One Constant
time spent apart is lost in life’s forgotten mist never to be recovered lost but not forgotten distance …. makes the heart grow distant bridging the gap of miles never comes easy broken bridges, rebuilt over time broken memories need to be stronger than any broken bridge absence …. makes the heart grow absent times cloak of darkness descends and masks light, love and memories build memories must be built to withstand the storms of life when miles come between love like time is constant

Lovers Eyes
snapshots of the soul my eyes are with yours bearing the weight of lover's eyes blessed with the eyes of the beloved doorway to the lover’s heart through the looking glass where love resides my eyes too bright blind, beneath your gaze love is blind even with open eyes can't see beyond my lover shot point blank right between the eyes blinded by love

Just One Breath
the beauty of love all encompassing enfolding potentially unending stop, breathe it just takes a second that’s all it needs love, lust, life always one breath away love is beauty wrapped in the moments of one’s life if you don’t stop to breathe you miss it breathe deep long & slow relish that moment savour it as it passes by maybe you get the chance to breathe it again and again

Everybody Dies
everybody dies but not everybody lives life without living death without dying walk through forests filled with demons avoid the the paths live a little get lost chase the demons don’t let them chase you catch a demon by its tail then let it go laugh in the face of death one life live it love your life
