Homecoming

 

 

 

I walk to the corner, round the bend

Trees seem taller, birds sing a different tune

 

I hop from island to peninsular

The very air seems different, even the moon

 

I move across three continents

Across oceans and rivers and dunes

 

I return, years after prolonged absence

I recognise nothing, but the tunes

 

And all at once, the years disappear.

I am home.

Perfection

Centuries have passed by

And still,

she commands attention.

Shines in a room 

of strangers

who all claim to know her

Heads turn

at  her lovely silhouette

mysterious

Doomed.

A cocoon of deception

Waiting turns to pain in autumn

Waiting turns to pain in autumn

Time abandons love from my arms

Time abandons love from my arms

From my arms, love abandons me

Autumn brings pain, with endless waiting

The walks in the park of evergreens

The walks in the park of evergreens

Lies to me - our love will survive all

Lies to me - our love will survive all

Our love survives the evergreens

But you lied to me as we walked

I suffered a year while in bliss

I suffered a year while in bliss

Your deception cloaked me in a cocoon

Your deception cloaked me in a cocoon 

The cocoon held me in bliss

Your deception was my undoing

From my arms, love abandons me

Autumn brings pain, with endless waiting

Our love survives the evergreens

But you lied to me as we walked

The cocoon you wove held me in bliss

Your kind deception was my undoing
