Want to leave some words for you
But I know not what to say
For me this is so very strange
A most uncommon day

For the words they flow so easily
When the subject matter's you
The chapters they just rattle off
There's nothing I can do

To reign in the enthusiasm
Restrain myself at all
Words flow without end
Through summer, spring and fall

And dark winter days
They are my favourite sort
When the cold blankets everything
In it's icy grip I'm caught

But that's when it flows without end
Winter's beauty fires my cause
Except today, or so it seems
Wonder why I've stopped to pause

Silent Sunday - Condensed view

Your words speak to me

When the day is long
And the night is grey
When life is tough
And there's no another way
Your words speak to me

When my face is sad
And carries a frown
When the waters rise
And beg me to drown
Your words speak to me

They talk like the rising sun
Make me so warm
Offering me shelter from
The developing storm
Protection is mine
That's guaranteed
All I need is to stop
To stop and to read

The words that you leave me
As you've always done
I find myself seeking out you
Number one
Your words are all I can see

And I know that they're with me
Wherever I go
I can't be without them
I know that you know
Your words are where I should be

Silent Sunday - Reasons for Reflection

Mirror image

And in a breath it changed
Stopped me stone dead
What I thought and who I am
Now were words unsaid

I could not speak them at all
Not two or even one
My silence showing me how
I'd simply come undone

And what could repair me
Friend or possibly foe?
Asking strangers to please point they way
If they truly know

What my face looks like
For the mirror always lies
Can't begin to try and even
Look myself straight in the eyes

Silent Sunday - Something lost, something found

Tres pequeñas palabras

Always under-used
Sometimes overstated
These words should always
Be celebrated
A testament to
Feelings so strong
They can move a mountain
Write a teary song
When you hear this said
Does your heart skip
Do the butterflies
Make your tummy flip
Do you well up
Emotions one big rush
Or put your finger to
Their lips 'hush'
They're the loviest words
But not from you
It was another to whom I said
'I do'

A to B

I've realised there's just no point
The end, I'm sure, is near
There won't be a this Thursday
Will be just a sad and lonely tear

But I'm smiling here as I type
For I know where we should be
I'm here just as we know I must
You're there, you see

I'm not so dumb
To think I could have been it all
But may be I imagined I was
Before I felt the fall
I'm not so blind
That I thought it might be me
When we knew all along
Your love was A to B

I'll lift my head, I will
Might just take a day or two
Hard to move myself past
The one, the perfect you
So if I'm quiet, out of sight
Don't think I've forgotten your call
Just can't reply
Thought you were my very all

I'm not so dumb
To think I could have been it all

But may be I imagined I was

Before I felt the fall

I'm not so blind

That I thought it might be me

When we knew all along

Your love was A to B

He's your A and your B

Know I'm not him, I'm me.

Silent Sunday - Feeling slightly cracked

Could-have-beens

Stir-fry delight
Comes to this Tuesday night
Long shoots, curly greens
And wilted what could-have-beens

Left too long
Tell me, where did it all go wrong?
Never found the right course
To their favourite sauce

Until it was too late
Locked up behind iron gate
Only to peer out now and then
Gaze longingly at lovely szechuan

Feel sorry I do
Because there's nothing so blue
As knowing it could have been great
But you showed up too late
