      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Apr 30, 2021

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.

      Mum, for love, life and beauty – I miss you every day.

      Dad, for the wisdom and realisation of life past and now – I miss you so much.

      Karen, for your strength and determination.

      Mar, por permitirme nadar en tu hermoso mar de vida, amor y pasión. La luna en Granada brilla dos veces más radiente cuando tú estas conmigo.

      John and Cheryl for being there when the world fell.

      To all of my friends for enabling me to breathe when I had forgotten how. Know that you have my eternal gratitude for the love, laughter and tears we have shared on our journeys.

      Nothing or no one is ever forgotten.

      New Beginning

      A face so pained

      Watching the winds in the desert.

      Eyes wide

      Blinded by the castle of your mind

      And I’ll watch you as you watch them

      Eyes closed

      Closed as your arrogant self

      The candle flame flickers as I pass

      The wine I drink burns as it falls

      This time I think I couldn’t care

      If you let it grow or cut your hair

      I don’t feel I’m here with you now

      I don’t think I’m here at all

      Falling again when the autumn comes,

      Your face dried by desert winds

      And I’ll dance softly over you

      Scream in song

      Bathe in it all

      Mask gone

      I’ll find another

      Time to turn away

      I can’t forget yesterday

      Just because there’s tomorrow

      I wouldn’t notice you turning away

      I feel better in sorrow

      Better than I feel today

      The bell tolls

      A final ring

      I forget you

      A new beginning

      You make it sound so easy

      New beginning

      You make it sound so easy

      Time I turned away

      The Caves of Guadix

      Tonight the stars shone for us

      Tonight the crickets sang

      Tonight we swam in the ocean of love

      And I can die in peace tonight

      With the love of my life by my side.

      Tonight I’ve known perfect moments

      Tonight the angels sang

      Tonight we swam in innocent dreams

      And I can lie alone with her
