1. ‘Sky between the clouds’ You are the sky between the clouds and the green fields below Where I’d walk as far as the eyes can see to get to you With the bright sky and hovering clouds I dream of you and I reaching out to see the beauty Of the view and of course you With the camera in my hand I live life through the lens Hoping that you too see the view that inspires me Either standing by my side Or in front of the lens To match your beauty Against the endless view of beauty in front of us Putting the camera down The eye captures more detail More light and more beauty For the mind to remember and adore As the sky between clouds captures our eye I look to you for more beauty and inspiration More than any view ever could do.

2. ‘A heartfelt plea to my mind’ A heartfelt plea to my mind Please just let the thoughts go and be free Running thoughts become faster Harder to chase down and decipher The longer and faster they run The mind fatigues and stumbles over many, many thoughts Add some poison and the plea is free Seeping deeper the thoughts stop running Yet this is not for long As the poison breaks down and leaves the mind Hydrated and ready The thoughts start to run once again Not before long they're fully up to speed Never stopping and always reminding the heart Of how it felt, feels and the farewells That play upon the rhythm of the heart A heartfelt plea to my mind Please just let the thoughts go and be free As there are many other thoughts That I need to run for A temporary poisoned thought may go for a while However a thought will always be there And there they are to be dealt with and let them free for good.

5. ‘You saved my heart, Without even knowing’ With the words you said And the actions to match You saved my heart Without even knowing My heart wanted something That it thought it believed in But with your words You brought new thoughts To which saved my heart You may never know That you saved my heart But I always will Therefore forever grateful Without even knowing You saved my heart Therefore I imagine What could we do If you knew you’d saved it What would my heart Have to say about you If you knew everything?

6. ‘A summer's dream’ A summer's dream Caught early autumn When the leaves started to fall As the cool calm air awoke the day Out of the low sunshine filled sky You walked into my vision I never envisaged what impact you'd have Upon my thoughts and on my day But I have to say the heart skipped and jumped Pumped a little faster when I thought of you A summer's dream But no time between seasons To see the change in view As time stood still With the sky filled with sunshine blue skies Being as glorious as you The summer sight became autumn's wish A clear beautiful you to match the day A favourite season for a favourite heart A summer’s dream came finally true And it was you that caught my eye When the leaves started to fall.

7. ‘Gain an hour’ Gain a minute and I take a moment to think Of what is now and where to go from here Gain an hour and I could write you a letter Penning thoughts of you and I Gain a day and I could take you out by my side Talking of my thoughts and listen intently to your world Gain a week and a half and we could fly away To find a part of the world neither of us have seen (Explore our surroundings as well as our hearts) Gain a year and we could see each other in every season From the summer sun through the winter's winds (As the temperature plummets maybe I could hold you close Keeping you warm as the winds wail and sunshine fades) Gain a lifetime and I could show you the love I have for life and for you A lifetime to care and love through everything that life may bring (A chance to take control of our fates and make something truly great) Gain a world and we could fill it with our thoughts and hearts desires All from a minute to a lifetime it all takes time.

8. ‘I held her heart in my hands’ I held her heart in my hands caring for it more than my own I would have done anything to protect the heart from any pain Her heart beat softly, and quietly and confidently But it was strong Stronger than you might have thought She didn't always think that her own heart was strong Yet I knew it was as I’d seen the strength and power It was the strongest heart I knew And couldn’t just couldn’t say that If it wasn’t true The only way I could show it was the truth Is to put my hand upon her chest Look into her eyes And tell her she needs to believe in herself so much more And the eyes that looked back at me Had a glint of belief I held her heart in my hands Not knowing if I could hold what was this precious With the care and stability that it deserves I only had to start believing in myself And remember it was all for you (It has always ever been for you) The heart beating softly for her sensitive smile Yet strength was there undoubtedly I know The hand upon her chest hearing her heart Looking into her eyes I could only fall Deeper Deeper In love With her as she smiled and waved And captured my heart within her eyes She had the strongest heart I knew And all I could do was tell her so.

9. ‘She's divine and on my mind’ Spying with my eye She's divine and on my mind Should you be there at all (I may say) Sitting upon my thoughts Speaking gently to my heart Stroking her hair behind the ear Sensitively I sit seduced by you Staring and glaring into your eyes Star struck and lost in your beauty S/he holding hands softly Spine tingles as one hand strokes another Strings of the heart are plucked away Sounds of the heart are starting to play String by string a song is written and performed Sorry is the eye for not smiling earlier Smiling as bright as the sun shines Sun setting upon my heart and mind Soothing the world we have captured a moment Sorry is the eye from you and I not glancing sooner Subtle are the thoughts Soaked with lust I must pause for a moment Spying with my eye once more She's divine and on my mind.

10. ‘P’ A perfect poet I'd be Picking pictures Of perfect places With pursuing eyes Penetrating my heart Pricking my skin To make my persistence A little more persuading Particularly for you Partially for no one else All because my pulsating heart Pulses for you Permanently.

12. ‘The sea let me sail’ The sea swept away the tears Dispersing in the waves They were soon forgotten With memories sinking below the surface The sand between the toes started to hurt After mile upon mile walking across the beach Only find that you were not there The tears that fell were soon swept away Wave after wave I wandered with no clue It was only when I stopped and stared Across the surface of the sea With the sunlight glaring I saw a way to make new memories I set sail across the sea Over waves that washed away old memories Into the sunset I sailed To find new lands, minds and hearts The sea swept after I wept The sea let me sail over sunken memories The sea saved my soul.

13. ‘With the heart pounding’ With the heart pounding I frowned As it was sounding Like the heart had lost But it had found something worth Much more than frowning about Thump thump went the heart Deep inside the chest A touch of the hand And the rib cage nears explosion The heart had lost nothing But gained more ideas and feelings Than ever before When next to you I never knew this would be a feeling Down at the bottom of my heart Your eyes had awoken a different rhythm One in time with the heart Giving an extra lease of life Nothing was lost but everything gained The heart became stronger With more rhythm and excitement Deep within the heart and mind.

14. ‘You know how to make me feel alright inside’ Making you laugh I stand back and think Of how wonderful you are Hoping that the laughter doesn’t never end In the moment of silence that prevails I ponder something to say that will make you smile (Or at least something that I think will) Yet the silence is never awkward or unforgiving It’s just time to be in the presence of you and I No heart is calmer when next to you Confidence grows and shows when speaking The wonder that you are makes my heart wild But I keep it all inside my dancing mind I don’t need to tell you how I feel As you can already tell And in a glimpse of your smile You know how to make me feel alright inside.

15. ‘Some voices’ Some voices are louder than others From all directions Inside and outside of the mind Find the right voice For the right situation The voice that is the loudest May not be the right voice to hear So choose wisely To which voice to listen to And where from.

16. ‘A dream so real’ I dreamt of losing you As real as the dream was I awoke to think That you weren't there And everything was real As it was in the dream In that moment My heart Sank Died Re-started Felt relieved And lived once more How a dream can make the heart think If you weren’t there Then what would I feel Never mind what I would do A dream so real I hope it never is.
