TO LET YOU KNOW
Merciless winter mornings spent on the grass Hiding behind the comfort of teenage ecstasy Waiting for warmth and the winds to pass, We did not love mildly, nor were we untamed A little bit like two tenacious rivers I recall that bench where our love got named, A touch that sent shivers down my nape Continue reading

When the priceless dream, broken in half, Cries from the nearest branch of hope, Time will say nothing but laugh. Time will say nothing but, “I told you so,” Continue reading

DRIVE YOU HOME
Long after the Sun has set, And the waves have crashed and met, Whenever you’re in any doubt, Know that you won’t have to shout, I’ll be here to drive you home. Long after your legs have given way, I won’t care if it’s night or day, When you’re tired and feel like you’ve had Continue reading
