Broken

Broken in pieces, this heart exposed.

Extinguished light hardly shows.

From this distance all looks composed,

Looking closer now mistakes are shown.

Within the spaces it’s you and I

Picking up the pieces of our lives.

Within the spaces of our lives

Picking up the pieces, it’s you and I.

I know you’ve been marked down

Passed around, labelled “reduced to clear”

No more than a whisper

In someone’s ear.

 Within the spaces it’s you and I

Picking up the pieces of our lives.

Within the spaces of our lives

Picking up the pieces, it’s you and I.

Expired. Past the ‘sell-by’ date.

Simply out of fashion.

In it comes, and there it goes

Quicker than anyone knows.

The latest transaction,

Filling up a vacant space.

Is there a need for an explanation

In any kind of disgrace?

 Within the spaces it’s you and I

Picking up the pieces of our lives.

Within the spaces of our lives

Picking up the pieces, it’s you and I.

Cash it in, exchange this,

Keep the receipt.

In a changing world

It’s all about the people we meet.

I WONDER WHY

 Like the sunset in the evening.  

 The moonlight across the seas,

Your eyes light up my life,

Like the stars in the midnight sky.

And I’ve been wondering why?

People keep on passing you on by,

Missing out all together, on such beauty,

Never stoping to wonder,

Never stepping back to see,

 Missing out altogether,

On life simplicities,

A simple flower,

This Robin in his tree,

Holding so much beauty

For all to see,

Like the sunset in the evening,

 The moonlight across the seas,

Your eyes light up my life,

I am so honoured to have you here,

 By my side,

And like the stars

In the midnight sky,

You always guide me home

To your loving side,

Like the stars in the midnight sky,

You mean a million things to me,

You surely have the key,

This breeze in the heat wave,

A crisp winter's chill,

You are as refreshing

Like a writer with a quill,

A little old fashion,

Yet still within the times,

Like a bottle of old vintage wine,

To be sipped and to be savoured

 Throughout its life,

Yet I still wonder why,

So many people

Just pass you on by

The Time of Love

I fell in love with you
A long time ago
And once you love like this
You can never let go

I need you now like
I like needed you then
I will keep on dreaming
But I will never give in

Many years have passed now
Since I last saw you
On this day I find myself
Looking at you once again

It was from that first time
That I saw you
I still can't believe
How much I love

For you are just like a picture
This painting on the wall
There are so many to admire
But I chose you

On this day I find that you
Are looking at me too
And now you are mine
I will be here till the end of time

For I love you so much
More than words can say
And deep in my heart
You will always stay

 This poem is the first one That I eve composed when I was 13 years old
  And it is one of my mum's favourites

My sunsets

Obstructions

It started out good at first

Listening to each other’s words

But then we hit a ditch

And it all broke out

All these feelings

We have buried for year

The obstructions were

On your side of the road

Maybe you should learn

To read your highway code

You need to be reading these signs

Don’t you know this is a

A tow way street

And you don’t always

Have the right of way

Better be backing it up

A little before you find it’s too late

The obstructions you

Just ignored you carried on

Down that one way street

Of yours

Then wondered why

 I went to the nearest exit

You turned around

And I was gone

I would give it all

I’d give it all I’d give it all to you

I would turn this grey skys

I would turn this grey skys

So blue, just for you

I would take a star out this midnight sky

And set the sparkle back in your life

Just to see you smile again

So there’s no need for you

To sit there on your own

Know that my door will all always be open

For you

I’d give it all I’d give it all to you

I would turn this grey skys

I would turn this grey skys

So blue, just for you

I would give you the sun

Wrap up the moon

So don’t you worry baby

For I’ll be home soon

So there’s no need for you

To sit there on your own

Know that my door will all always be open

For you

I’d give it all I’d give it all to you

I would turn this grey skys

I would turn this grey skys

So blue, just for you

So when this get’s to much for you my friend

Come find me at the rainbow’s end

For I will be there I will there waiting for you

The girl for me

I found the girl for me

The other side of this TV screen

This picture in this magazine

I found the girl now of my dreams

She's so cute she is so beautiful

She's got it going on believe you me

She's not the girl next door

She's from a different world

And I love her or the more

I'm in love with a jazz star

You should hear the way she sings

And plays guitar

I know I'm only dreaming

But it doesn't cancel out

This way of feeling

I'm in love I'm in love

With a jazz star

I'm in love with a jazz star

You should hear the way she sings

And plays guitar

I know I'm only dreaming

But this doesn't cancel out

This way I'm feeling

Just one look in her eyes

She has you hooked

She'll have you hypnotised

So she's the only girl you’ll see

Caught in between reality and your dreams

From the other side of this TV screen

To all the pictures in this magazine

This is the girl of my dreams
