Touch
I hear echoes rolling rolling, I feel the air begin to move
Black mass rising, a murder of crows take to flapping flight
Still the air around, but something shifts so smooth
A rustle to yonder copse, leaves tremble as if in fright
The chuckling river throws up sparkling dew like drops
I stand so still and hope it's you
For my love, my life, I do so miss your tender touch
Looking far with eyes so long and ever moist, so wide
Seeking sight so long withheld, something I can feel
Caring not for how it seems, that I may lack in missing pride
And in the distance far, village bells begin a token peel
For you my heart, that you return from foreign war torn field
Tho' I will never more see you whole, see you as you were
Inside me here, beside my soul, your spirit will abide
All those times whereupon we joked, and shared some hidden trick
The times we held on to the other, nothing wanting much
They may be past, they may be gone, but I still see them whole
For what is past and never will again be so, I bleed as if from quick
I will miss and rue such bliss, the feeling of your touch
Most of all, now you're gone, my love I miss your soul
From times afore, when our play was simple true and chaste
Where never would we see a single thing to mar what we had then
And for sure, never guessed, your depart and with such haste
So peel and ding, yon Bells for you beyond the living ken
Help me to remember, those days when all was well and such
Help me to forget, that I will never more, feel your living touch.
Lies ( ode to WGT )
I see rain in the sky, a film to frame the lies
Catching subtle mirrors, a thought we shall not hide
Would this water from above, wash us free of sin?
Could this be a start, a new one each could share
Or once again a sign, that our masters do not care.
