Not a word,
not a word,
you do not grace me,
within, without,
I wait,
I wait,
with sullen pout.
My fate,
my fate,
How can it be?
So silently;
you give me,
not a thought,
not a thought.

Stuck on a train,
delays again,
waiting’s a pain;
here comes the rain,
and I’m stuck on a train.
All that rushing in vain,
it’s always the same,
passengers complain,
as we’re stuck on the train,
watching the rain…

I hang on your words,
like a condemned man,
waiting, waiting, waiting;
the hour glass ticking,
moods pensive and tense.
To and fro, fro and to…
Cadaver pendulum swinging,
this way and that,
that way and this…
Tides ebb and flow,
moons wax and wane,
days come, weeks go.
Still waiting, waiting…
ever waiting, for
just one word,
from,
you.

Fantasise
and cast your eyes
over the mysteries
of your life’s long dreams
Philosophise
see through the lies
that tie you down
and cause you pain
Hypnotise
those who criticise
show them the way
that you now pave
Apologise
to those by your side
for our foolish ways
that caused them pain
Romanticise
look through rose eyes
for one true love
who will hole you close

Standing in the shadow of this mood
no longer ruler of my emotions;
visited by ghosts of a bygone age
I cannot shake the stardust from my eyes.
The silence is deafening.
The memories blinding.
With heavy heart and a trail of tears,
I dream the dreams from all those years.
The diamond flash of a smile or a look,
the scent of a memory.
What will be?
Will it be at all?
A roller coaster ride of life,
not knowing what to expect;
not knowing how I’ll react.
You see the sun, but inside I’m the moon;
do you not see the mask behind the veil of tears,
do you care or even contemplate the consequences -
of doing nothing?

Within my mind I see your face,
still haunted by the sound of your laughter,
recalling the warmth of your sweet embrace.
All these I carry within my heart.
See my head turn as I hear your name,
watch my heart break when you touch my dreams,
the tears that burn with the memory pain.
All these I carry within my heart.
My lovely, lovely, paramour.
