Awaken my soul

Published june 2004 in 'Underneath the stars'.


Awaken my soul
O mighty father,
It has been asleep
For so long now.

Breathe your life
Back into me,
Open my eyes
So i can see
You stand before me.

Banish these demons
Straight back to hell,
For they've taunted me
All of my life.

Awaken my soul
For it is dead inside,
Bring me back to the place
Where we were as one.

Quieten these vioces
Within my head,
They have plagued me
All of my life,
And almighty father
Awaken my soul.

Lonely this christmas

April 2004 in Christmas in reflection

I'll be lonely this christmas
now you are no longer here,
there'll be no opening of presents
or kissing under the mistletoe.

They say that love is all around
at this time of year,
that wont be happening
in my house of loneliness.

Little children ask for their favourite toys
all i want for christmas is you,
should i send a christmas wish list to santa
or should i pray to god?

There'll be no turkey
or christmas crackers,
the only thing i'll be opening
is a bottle whiskey.

Out of the closet

dec 2003 in Reality bites

All of my life iv questioned my sexuality
never knowing who or what i was,
feeling confused inside
i need to find out to save my sanity.

i went with men and women
to see which i would enjoy,
but to my surprise i enjoyed both
so i have decided to come out of the closet.

what would my family and friends say?
would they still love me
or would thex hate me?
whatever happens
it needs to be done.

now i have been set free
i no longer have to wear these shackles,
i can be myself
and not what other people want me to be
now that i have come out of the closet.

Say that you will

say that you will
love me for all eternty,
say that you will
hold me until our
hearts start beating as one.

say that you will
take my hand
and lead me to paradise,
say that you will
make the bad times good.

say that you will
wake me up every morning
with a loving smile,
say that you will
say that you love me
on a bad day.

say that you will
make love to me
until our dying day,
say that you will
never say goodbye.

A moment has passed

Published oct 2002 in 'through these eyes'



A moment has passed
And we go from not knowing
To knowing,
From not loving
To loving,
Now take my love
And love me to death
Before i stray
Never to return.

A moment has passed
And we go from pain
To pleasure,
From sadness
To joy,
Hold me in your arms
And feel my heart beat with yours
Before it stops
Never to start again.

A moment has passed
And you're there for me
Giving me the love in your heart,
Never dreaming
That we will ever be apart,
Now hold md tightly
Never letting me go,
Kiss me tenderly
Until i go weak at the knees.

A moment has passed
And it is the last one
There will be no more,
No more knowing
Or loving,
No more pleasure
And no more joy,
So make love to to me softly
And never let this moment end.

Dreams

Published nov 2001 in 'above and beyond'



Girl of my dreams
Won't you come true for me,
Make my life complete
Open my eyes so i can see
The beauty that stands before me.

I see you every single night
But you're not really there,
I hear you call my name
You sound like a thousand angels singing,
I hear you and i have to stand and stare.

You're there in my dreams
But why cant you be real,
Put your hand on my heart
Then you will know how i feel,
When i am awake i miss your tender touch.

In my dreams you have the sweetest kiss
You have a smile that could light up the would,
The way you hold me makes my heart pound
I would move mountains to be with you,
I would do anything just to make my dreams come true.

Heaven could grow dark
And hell could freeze over,
That wouldn't mean a thing
Just as long as i could have
The girl of my dreams.

Girl named sue

Published may 2002 in 'through the hourglass'

I'm in love with a girl named sue
but what should i do?
should i take my chances
and tell her how i feel?
but what if she rejects me?

Should i tell her face to face?
but what if she slaps me?
should i tell her in a letter?
but what if she doesn't receive it?
what should i do?

She has the eyes that
could put you in a trance,
she has the voice that
would make angels dance,
i want that girl named sue.

Will i ever get that girl named sue
or will she never want me in her life?
will i be her husband
and will she be my wife?
i need that girl named sue.
