Existence

The blankness of the new page
Mirrors the vacuum inside
Never will love come to fill
The void that lies in my heart

The tears that well in my eyes
Never wash my pain away
I know, as long as I live
That nothing can ever change

Love & best wishes to all

Mirage

Like the pauper's child on Christmas Eve
Nose pressed against the glass
Seeing all the delights within
So close, but forever out of reach

Happiness, that's for other people

Love & best wishes to all

Smile

A moment in time, when trajectories met
His gaze catching mine, a look free from all guile
Just for a second, without fear or regret
Two souls become one, by exchanging a smile

Love & best wishes to all

Palliative

I want you to love me, sweet darling boy
Want you to help me find wonder and joy
Your love is the only way I can see
Of killing the pain of just being me

****

Love & best wishes to all

Blue

Your eyes, like a summer evening sky
Draw me in, but I know that I must never
Be close to you, and although it makes me cry
The only way is to give you up, forever

****

Love & best wishes to all
Sammy B

Dream

When life goes bad in your dreams
All that's left, it seems
Is to pull down the screens
And drown in your own screams

****

Love & best wishes to all

Hidden

Don't go to the city, there are awful people there
That's what they say, those who don't know
But in your arms is the only place I feel safe
Where I can hide, faceless in a sea of faces

****

Love & best wishes to all
