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
