The Artist

You are the artist that touches my soul
Reaches deepest, where I let very few go
You are the giver, the barer of heart 
The bravest of actions, a thin layer to your art.

You are one of them heavy people
Helping me run up that hill
Where the hounds of love will find me
Under the Ivy
If they ever catch their kill.

The Artist.

Sonic Perfume

That sweet tune
Tonic ears consume
Like nostrils do with fumes
Sonic perfume.

That melody
That sweet rift
Telling me
It’s secrets.

Beautiful
Life affirming
To some they’re neutral
To me they’re all but burning.

Some make me want to dance
Some make me want to drink
Some make me want to romance
The great one’s make me think.

Some lyrics
They have raised me
More than my words
Can afford.

No limits
To what some gave me
As I internally
Explored.

Sonic perfume
That deep shit
Killing me
With a sweet rift.

That melody
That sweet tune
Tonic ears consume
Like nostrils do with fumes.

Tear On My Cheek

There is a tear upon my cheek
Of which I feel that I should speak
This tear is a well, man it’s deep
For a man not reached his peak.

Could speak severe
With a sheer belief
A career to cheer
When sincere did speak.

Should clear your ear
When you hear his beat
This tear is clear
With a veneer of street.

(In memory of Tupac Shakur)

Take A Drive

You need to clear your head
Go take a walk or drive
And put the past behind you
Looking at the skies.

Let the past be past
Keep the future in your view
Release past fast
Be present in what you do.

Need to clear your head
Go on and take a drive
Clear out the old
Look forward with your eyes.

Let the past be past
Let the future thrive
As I’ve often said
It’s good to be alive.

Recognise your flaws
Commit to weed them out
Lay down some laws
Know what you’re about.

Let the past be past
The present is a gift
And hopefully when you return
You’ll have a smile upon your lips.

Let the past be past
To the future put your eyes
Need to clear your head
Go on and take a drive.

Sweet Heart

Goodnight sweetheart
Just let me sleep to the beat of your heart
For it’s the greatest peace I know
To hear your heartbeat beating slow.

The most reassuring sound on earth
Is to hear the heart that eases hurt
Rest assured I know its worth
Keep it secured up in its berth.

Let its beat sing me to sleep
I let it in deep, my heads in a heap
In it creeps, and a grin it peeps
In it seeps, one of life’s great treats.
