No Good Thing Ever Dies

Dreams are like the stars we see 
on a clear moonless night. 

They steer us through the darkest times 

and keep the path in sight. 

Whatever happens on the road ahead 

that may pull us to the side.

Dreams will always guide us 

as we  swim against the tide. 

Battles rage and wars are lost, 

heads are bowed as they count the cost

But whilst star light shines from a blackened sky 

and hope be born of a butterfly

Dreams above it all will rise
And no good thing ever dies.

The Road To Rome


THE ROAD TO ROME

A lot
A little
No more than most
And here we are
With ours to boast




Millions to billions

Trillions to zillions
All the stars in the sky
All the tears that ever were cried


Enough
Not enough
More or less
Carbon plays chess
Never satisfied
Never gratified
Water wears dress

Time out
Time over
Time to go home
Time to play poets
On the road to Rome

Love

Soft love in the shadows of your heart
Soft gentle love In the folds of your smile
Soft, gentle, inviting love In the promise of your embrace. 
Deep love in the depths of your eyes
Deep, warm love in the heat of your touch
Deep, warm, ageless love across all time. 


Rest now my love
In peace we entwine.

The Journey

Each journey is the same
A to B spelt out in name
From giant's stride
To pounding leap
Deserts dry
Oceans deep 
The baby steps of kismet's game
Silent voices
Talk of shame. 

New stories told
As the roads unfold
Old yarns unwind
On the path behind
Yet we search for truth
Where light may blind
When darkness is its own comfort
The solace there for all to find. 

If there is a rule
It may just be
There are no rules

If there is a way
It may just be
The first step you take today

If there is a path
It may just be
The joys in life that make you laugh

If there is a final destination
It may just be
The guard's flag dropped
At the previous busy bustling station.

What?

What need to cry
When angel breath 
Can dry an eye
What need to pray
When soothes do say
Your God is good
And saints hold sway
What need to toil
Or burst a boil
When God is there
And heaven's loyal
What need to aim
In zealots pain
When heaven's gates
Absolve all shame
What?
