I Grow
I reach for the sun, Stretching towards the open sky, Towards the man I almost see, The man that I might one day be If I can grow to reach so high And end the journey I've begun And so I reach towards the sun. I yearn for the sea Swimming towards the boundless deep Towards the man I've long denied...

Another Way
Soft tongued apologies cascading insincerity Blanket my ears with well meant lies, Trying to be polite at the cost of your integrity Hoping that I cannot see the anger in your eyes. Gradually fury slopes it's shoulders in defeat And bitterness grows to choke gardens of your mind, You pass sorrow,...

To A Lover
I am tired Of going round and round Ignoring me, ignoring you Forgetting us both. I am uninspired By this peace we found, It's not genuine, not true, And allows for no growth. Let us find a different way, A path of life and fire Where we allow our fears less sway And listen to our own desires. Let...

You Say/I Say
You say that I am wrong, That I am evil or bad And that you cannot condone The outrageous things I do. You tell me I don't belong, That I am stupid or mad And should leave good folks alone With other good folks, like you. I say that I love you With all your fears And judgements and pain, And the...

The Quiet Path
Take the quiet path, Take the happy road of self, The independent route of love. Avoid the roundabout of wrath And the car park of poor mental health, To go the way that you are afraid of. Spurn the highway of bad habit, Bypass the queues of "always is" And the gridlock of "always was"; Take the...

Imperfectly Me
Imperfect: I have many flaws, Some serious, some not, I might elect To seek the cause And grow beyond my current lot, Other flaws I may accept As a part of who I am And not try to change them at all: It's the flaws I removed and those I kept That shall define me as a man And nurture my soul.

Seeking...
Is there an embrace for me? A perfect connection, body and mind, Is there a place where I can be Welcomed as myself and find A heart to love me as I need someone to do? Is my soul's desire fulfilled in you?

I Know
I know your face, I see it in my dreams With those happy lips and gentle eyes That wait for me to realise That things are not as they seem In the first place. I know your voice, It echoes in my mind With messages of growth and peace, Reminding me that there can be surcease If I can grow beyond fear...

Autumn's Warrior
You stand, stalwart and grim, Armoured in leaves of blood and rust: A guard where the gigolo had been, Summer's fragrant love is lost In preparation for hard times ahead. Nothing shows of the gentle swain Who's verdant cloak was tenderly spread To shelter love from summer rain. Now defiance makes...

If You Can
I am lonely but not alone, Silent but not in quiet, Sinless, I atone, I am a contemplative riot. In immobility I dance And voiceless I sing your name, I am regressing to advance: I am responsible but not to blame. In obscurity I am made clear, I am eternally a mortal man Keeping away what I want...
