Love from a woman
The most powerful love I know
Leaves me star struck I find it stunning
When she just loves doesn’t care who knows.
It’s the little things she does
That mean so much to me
Those little deeds of good
Others don’t always see.
I find it in the simple pleasures
How she smiles giving me my favourite treats
One amongst her hidden treasures
There are so many, that lie beneath.

I love to see you laughing
I love to see you smile
I love to see you laughing
I get transfixed awhile.
Something I’m always after
That next kick and fit of laughter
In moments of triumph and disaster
It’s often laughter, keeps me my master.

We were taken from each other
When we needed each other most
You my long lost brother
I always feel your ghost
I feel you day and night you see
I see you in my dreams
I won’t let you slip away from me
I just don’t have the strength or means.
My mind sometimes replays the past
And it would be too much to bare
If my mind knew that when it came back
You would not be there.
So I keep you with me you see
Even if I can not see you
For it would be too hard for me
If I believed you were through.
You meant so much to me you see
I believed so much in you
So you must forgive my greed, please
For I can’t let you leave, that just wouldn’t do.
You are my long lost brother
And I feel you night and day
And I hope like many others
You hear me when I pray.
For I’ve so much left to say to you
So much time that slipped away
So please if you do not mind
Stay a little while longer with me.
I just appreciate your time
There’s no need for you to speak
And if you should see my smile
Replaced by a tear on my cheek.
If you would then be so kind
To ignore my moment of weep
It’s just now and then, like now dear friend
My mind sees that I’m a cheat.
Though it stops right there
Before despair
Cause this is one game
It doesn’t want to beat.
You are my long lost brother
And you mean so much to me
We can’t be taken from each other
For now you see, I can’t let that be.
You have my heart, so you can’t depart
Or I may cease to be
So please if you would be so kind
Spend a little more time with me.
And I’ll do my most
To please your ghost
To make sure I don’t weep
My brother, my friend
It can’t be the end
For you mean everything to me.

Listen to your heart
Wherever it will take you
Sometimes it will make you
Sometimes it will break you.
Still listen to your heart
Don’t you ever hesitate to
Lover knocks you back
Don’t sit around wasteful.
Think of that person
That be throwing you them smiles
Ask them their name
See how that flies.
If your job lays you off
Like you don’t mean shit
As you shake the pain off
Find what makes you itch.
Lover wants you back
Let them come and chase you
Life is half chance
You gotta dance when it shakes you.
Look at the world
Everyday is a blessing
I view it as a beautiful girl
I’m romantically undressing.
Listen to your heart
Don’t you ever hesitate to
Life is but a dream
For it remain ever grateful.
Don’t sit around wishing
Get your ass to doing
The Earth is spinning never sitting
We gotsta keep on moving.

I’ve been around, I’ve done a lot of traveling
Been up and down so many times
I’ve been looking for a companion
It’s your name, that always springs to mind.
It’s your name that always springs to mind.
I’ve had dreams, I’ve had a lot of visions
Don’t know If I’ll see them all through
Sometimes lack the means, sometimes lack the wisdom
But I wouldn’t care, if I filled just one with you.
I wouldn’t care, if I filled just one with you.

Forget you never
You gave me memories to treasure
Through rough weather
We always stuck together
Bonded forever
My friends
Like Hooly and Shane Markey
Session never ends
Truly the life and soul of the party
Then there’s Fitzer
The word mixer
We been getting kicks for ages
Bout how he mix his phrases
Muddled words emerge
Bringing laughter to the herd
Of mates, that is us
Big gang so many you could fill a bus
Mates I trust
Always with me
When life was pretty
And when it’s shitty
True friends aren’t picky
When you’re down
They lift you up
Don’t put you down
They pick you up
When you’re laughing
They laugh with you
It’s a bond I’m clasping
I got past with you.
Friends I’ll always need
Memories I recall help me breathe
At times when I’m just chilling
It’s times with you start filling
My head
Remember a joke someone said
And hope there is more of them ahead
An act that someone did
Back when we were kids
Back to a certain time, a certain place
When everything was fine, everything felt great
With this in mind, I’ll easily state
No matter what happened, that time was no waste
We’ve had many hard sessions
We’ve had many hard lessons
From infants to adolescents
Some more innocent, some more questioned
But through all of it, we’ve had our laughs
From all of it, some have taken different paths
But we cross paths
Time and time again
We’ll always cross paths
Cause always time for a friend
Forget you never.
Through rough weather
We always stuck together.

She’s all cried out
All but died within
She’s all lied out
But she’s still trying.
He keeps coming
She beats him back
He comes back running
She beats him black.
He comes with loving
He’s such a sap
She knows he’s coming
She sets a trap.
Welcomes him in
Then moves the post
Every time he gives in
She gives new hope.
He knows what she’s doing
But he loves her deeply
She knows what she’s doing
She gives a beating.
He loves her much
So he stands for more
Such an innocent pup
She is so hardcore
He gives his love
She beats it back
Wants him to give up
But he won’t do that.
He comes again
With a sudden charge
She lets him in
Then hits him hard
Drives him back
He drops to the floor
A little slower perhaps
He rises once more.
This time she loses it
She beats him fiercely
More than bruises him
He falls back weakly
Now when he hits the floor
His eyes can’t match her gaze
She knows he can’t take more
She finally knows it’s end of days.
And as he let’s her go
She knows she’s proven that she’s strong
She learns what only the strongest know
The strong are often wrong.
For as he crawls away
Broken in all except the bone
Her heart feels a certain ache
And awakes a protective stone.
A tear comes to her eye
But she’ll not let it drop
She’s not soft enough to cry
But she knows, the lying’s got to stop.
