FROM A BOY TO A MAN

 

I knew I had grown

From a boy to a man

When playing in the snow

With boisterous mates

Held less attraction

Than making snow angels

With a pretty girl

UNDER A BITTER SKY

 

Beneath the marbled skies

Of broken, fractured cloud

And the myriad of winter hues

Coloured with greys and blues

I waited in the bitter frosty air

Feeling the sting of winters bite

Until the moment I saw you

And warmed instantly by the view

THE DAY I SAID GOODBYE TO HER

 

The day I said goodbye to her,

Replays constantly in my mind

And it’s a familiar memory

Of the most destressing kind

I have tried to move on but I left

The love of my life behind

LOVE TIPS THE SCALE

 

Life is a question of balance

And love tips the scales

Some give a false accounting

But a steady love never fails

SHE BROUGHT GLORIOUS SUNLIGHT

 

She brought glorious sunlight

To the darkness of my soul

And the coldness of my heart

For living alone had taken its toll

But just spending time with her,

Has shown me again how to live

And revealed just how much love

One special person can give

AS ADMIRATION DWELLS

 

As admiration dwells

In following eyes

Such attraction can lead

To unwelcome advances

But equally it could be

The perfect stranger

So she takes her chances

In search of “The one”

FALLING IN LOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME

 

Falling in love for the first time

Is like a fledgling leaning to fly

But will new love crash and burn?

Or will it blaze across the sky?
