When I see you

When I see you

When I see you again…

recall those things I miss…

thought I needed,

dreams that were lost.

when I see you again…

it’s from afar, too far,

top of a bus looking down,

cocooned in a pass-by taxi.

When I see you again…

wishfulness, over in a flashback,

I remember why we parted, 

Then…I see you.

Beau Brummell Sky

Beau Brummell Sky

Hail Beau Brummell heaven, clad in a cloak of midnight velvet.

swirls of creamy chiffon, fuse with diamonds and sapphires,

strewn with genius by your gifted designer.

Intense…the passion lodged in my heart, etched on my mind. 

Had I wings to soar up, caress the ultramarine velour,

flit from gem to gem to admire each jewel

touch this ethereal bliss for just a moment… beyond doubt.

Reflections of your mantle cast radiance on my surround.

An envious sea mirrors you in all your glory.

Crystals in the ochre sands glint on my feet,

bestow me the privilege..to be part of your magnificence.

Elegant beguiler, how many hearts have you stolen tonight?
