~Bird on High~


Bird on high above dancing in the Sky
within the Clouds Free spirit you Fly,
Release me from Terra Firma let me see,
Take me from the chains that shackle me.

Release me from my sin and all my Pain
Fly towards the Sun and Freedom again,
Let me see again the pastures so green,
The Mountains and Lakes That I Dream.



Fly me past the Hills To the Forest Deep
Let me see the Squirrel play hide and Seek,
Let me Drink the water from The Stream
Lay me in a Glade Let me sleep and Dream.


Fill my Heart with Hope fly me High
Bird take me Please hear my last Cry.
Fly Towards the sun last chance to see,
For Tomorrow The Gallows will Beckon me.

~Centurions Farewell~


With Sword by my side now upon this ground I pray
Mortally wounded my Battle lost now dying this day,
Bodies spread on bloodied soil praying for their Home
My mind wanders with them from this field to Rome.

Beside me once my enemy but now in Death my Friend
Together we grasp our hands, and pray for this to End,
We gaze at each other and we both wonder for who and Why?
In this Bloody Field we lay and for what shall we Die

We Talk of our Homes and Family of peace and Love
As we look up to the sky the crow circles Above,
My son is Eight and just six years old his Daughter,
Now we lay waiting amongst the Blood and Slaughter.

I Tell him of my sister and my younger Brother
But most of all we both of us cry for our Mother,
With Bloodied Hands we Hold, our eyes just Stare,
And we think why now only in Death do we care.

~Broken Rose~


The Rose He Planted along with his Heart
Lovers soul-mates never to Part,
But the Petals did wither then Fall,
Then they both walked away from it All.


They parted, But Nature remembered Them
The wind came to Break the Rose Stem.
A Seed fell and set, waiting in the ground,
The Rose grew, But love again never Found.

~Just as a Fairytale~


Just as a Fairytale written for us
Only a short while did it last,
That November day you came to me
my Sweet Princess.

And me That day just as a Prince
to meet my Sweet love,
And in the blue Sky Flew
a white Dove.

White charger drifting on a Dream leading us
to a Fantasy land,
Lay down my sweet love the leaves our pillow
on the forest ground.

We made sweet love as the sun shone upon
your Beautiful Face,
On that day my Princess you became my saving
Grace.

And me That day just as a Prince
you cured my Broken Heart
Like a Home coming to my Kingdom
Never again to Part.

Then to Become a King and you my
love My Queen,
You took me to a Fantasy world
A Sweet Beautiful Dream.


You gave me Pride and as you
Took my Arm,
In our Kingdom Full of Sweet
loving Charm.

Honor and privileged I did Feel
To be by your side,
We Ruled our Kingdom with love
Deep Inside.

In your eyes I could see The
enchanted Forest,
And in your soul I could feel
so much Promise.

Just as a Fairytale written for us
Only a short while did it last,
That November day you came to me
my Sweet Princess.

White Charger come back for me
Take me to the Forest Deep,
Then Forever with my Sweet Queen
lay me down beside her to sleep.

~Last Sky~

Years I've been just growing towards the sky
many things I've seen many friends seen felled,
seen sunny skies clouds up high birds in sky
look out my last many years roots have held.


Feel the wind kiss my leaves gentle rain falls
branches full spread take in the air around me.
sun comes out my old friend seen me grow so tall
look down upon the forest floor many friends see.

Sadness fills every branch i look out on my last
feel the pain the cutting saw embedded in me,
will miss my forest all my friends all my past
look back as i fall no more sky will i see.

~Walk In Morning Dew~

As i walk in the morning dew the forest at it's best
the distant trees look down on me as i wander near,
world of wonder peaceful dreams my mind can rest
morning mist greets me as a kiss, of someone dear.

Shimmer of light caress my face, touch as of a lover
squirrel turns to look as the bracken cracks beneath,
this forest haven to all behold, nature earth mother
sit i ponder, shed a tear my eyes look for every leaf.

Wonder will you still be, when i am long gone
will mankind learn of your need life's very seed,
or will the chainsaw break your heart, kill your song
lay down your soul, for mans sin of want and greed.

~If not for you no air to breathe~
~ For you are life's giver and seed~

~Down with the Sun~


The day is done now down goes the sun
And all my hope and dreams now gone,
For me now my life will soon end
In God I trust my saviour my friend.

Now in this age all I find is just greed
We have lost our way for those that need,
And all around I see the evil destruction
People dying for political production.


The day is done now down goes the sun
I say a prayer for the innocent one,
For those who suffer for political gain
As the sun goes down I feel their pain.

~Mother~

You never wanted but always gave
When I was weak you made me Brave,
You gave me Love like no other,
You were a very special Mother.

Mother Dear so much you gave
In my Heart I will always save,
Memories forever will Remain
But Life will never be the Same.


Love
Your Son Paul xx.

~Don't cry for me~

Don't cry for me weeping willow Tree
As soon now I shall be Free,
For many years I have visited you
Of all you have remained True.

We have Talked for many a Year
When no other would lend an Ear
Many a Tale I have Told you,
Gave me Hope when feeling Blue.

Told you all of my worry and Fear
Sitting with you it became clear
Nature can heal a Troubled mind,
As a Friend you have been so Kind.

If Tomorrow comes and I am not there
It is not that I no longer Care,
My Spirit will have been set Free
Don't Cry for me Weeping willow Tree.

~A place in Time~

Time moved on and left us behind,
I like to think some place in Time
we sill exist.
In parallel universe we still share
a loving Kiss.

In that place we walk on the Beach
Hand in Hand,
We write I love you like children
in the Sand.

We Laugh and smile and the only
Tears we shed
Are the Tears Of Happiness as
we are wed.

We live our Life full of Hope
and a lovers Dream,
And in each others arms we lay
under stars that gleam.

We have no worry and we have
no Fear,
Each day we welcome the Future
Bright and clear.


Our souls locked Together our
Hearts Beat like a Song,
Nothing can part us our love
is so Strong.


The universe is our playground
for us to explore,
In a parallel universe we love
forever More.

In a parallel universe
a place In Time.
I am Forever Yours,
And you are Mine.

~Knight~


No I'm not perfect not in any way, don't ride
a white horse, Knight in shining Armour NO!
never was, Put me on pedestal high, only
one way for me to Fall, never slain a Dragon
never did see Merlin, or dined with Lancelot.

No I don't ride a white horse Knight
in shining Armour, Never have I rescued
Fair maiden from a Tower, never came
from Camelot, never sat at that table.

No I'm not perfect don't ride a white horse
Knight in shining Armour, NO! I never was.

~Seashell~


How long have you waited and for whom
If I listen will you help me understand,
Will it be a Tale of Love or of Gloom,
Tell me of a Life in a Far off Land.

Will you whisper sweet tales in my ear
Of the secrets you hide so deep inside,
What you whisper will it bring a Tear
Perhaps of love peace and all Things Kind.

You look so peaceful just laying in the sun
Do I dare to ask of you what will you Tell,
Will it be wisdom of all you have seen done
Then again perhaps of pain I should not dwell.

When Tomorrow if the Tide has not Taken you
Then when I walk this way then I shall listen,
The Tide brought you for me from the deep Blue
For now i will listen to the stars that glisten.

~Little Bird~

Sing me a song little bird, tell me of your flight
where did you come from, how far did you fly
I'll not hurt you, chirp your song, bathe in sunlight
Tell me,of places you have been, wonder of sky


How far, did you travel, to perch on this fence
was your journey safe, many perils did you face
you shake your head, you must think me dense
Such a beauty, spread your wings,with grace

Now, before you fly away, i would just like to say
was a pleasure, seeing you, did enjoy your song
Be safe little bird ,now as i watch you fly away
sing for me tomorrow, wish you had not gone

As i watch, you soar above, now far away
Freedom on wing, pleasure you gave today

~Waiting~

The sun came and I waited
For love to rise,
And for all it would bring
with your lovely eyes.

Been so long since your Touch
left my side,
Again I hoped you would come
With the summer Tide.

My Heart went Down with the
evening Sun,
The Rain came and told me that
all was gone.

No ship this Time would bring
you to my side,
As the sun went down burned out
love died.

And still I waited for the light to
go from the Sky,
I waved to the Moon above goodbye
my love Goodbye.

~Last Chapter~

We never finished the book our Story
I was a Knight You an Angel of glory,
The pen it's ink was Bathed in Love
The cover was Satin with a white Dove.

Etched in gold the words yours Forever
On the back written the words Together,
Bound with silk stitched as one Heart
On the Spine Written never will we Part.

The Book closed before the last Chapter
We still had so much more left to capture
Did my Armour become Tarnished and Stained,
Can your wings not fly to me once again.

~As I Woke~

As I woke the sun drifting through the window
she came to me,
Dressed in white her hand stretched out to me
she spoke softly.

Do you remember my Love this was our Time
You gave me a single Red rose on that night
We lay on satin sheets I took you as Mine
And you my Love in your arms held me Tight.

We watched the sun go down and the Dawn rise
Remember my Love this was our very first Time
Beside me you Lay I remember those kind eyes
You turned the Rose you gave said you are mine.



As I woke the sun drifting through the window
she came to me,
Dressed in white her hand stretched out to me
she spoke softly.

Then as the wind blew you Drifted Away
You came back for me But could not stay.

~Deck of Cards~

As each Card Turns our Life
Begins to Unfold,
The path of life Depends on
The cards you Hold.

Some will have Diamonds and
Beautiful Queens,
Some a lowly Heart Dealt from
the Bottom it seems.

You can Shuffle the pack
cut them Twice,
But still the same Cards are
Dealt as Life.

Some will bring Joy and Love
as you Turn,
Some will bring sadness and
pain.
But with each Card all of us
will Learn.

With each Card we Turn a new
chapter will begin,
Some will bring Truth and Honesty
others bring Sin.

But whatever cards we have been Dealt
it only delays,
The one Card none can avoid
is the Ace Of Spades.

~precious~

You put the Diamonds in my eyes
then took the sparkle away,

The Emerald you put in my heart
only to tear it apart.

The Sapphire you set in my soul
just to go cold.

These precious things you gave
Then just took them all away
Set my Heart on an even course
Then rip it out with no remorse.

Play with my emotions now bare
Strange now how could you care
The most precious gone from me
Bleed my Heart so you could see.

Now replaced with a cold Black stone
set in my Heart,
Why again did you ask me to give
The most precious Treasure of All.
~ My Love ~

~No Longer~

For what,
Now it seems once again
all has changed.

Yesterday you said once again
the sun would shine,
Now a Dark shadow is cast
in my mind.

Again you change turn this key
in my Heart,
Then again just for you to
Tear it apart.

I gave my Heart my soul
and Friendship,
No more can I give of this
It must cease.

What pride is left within my
soul,
Now this I must keep for
myself.

No longer can I Try no longer
can this be,
I am worn now so very Tired
you must see.

No longer can I take the
Ebb and Flow,
The changing mind inside
that you sow.

A seed of Hope within
my Heart,
Again do not ask me
to start.

No more,
You see no longer can
my mind take.

No longer can I Try no longer
can this be,
I am worn now so very Tired
you must see.


This addiction now for so
long,
Must now Stop let me
live,
No longer can I Try no
longer can i give.

No Longer can this Be
Strange I still love Thee.
