FROM A COLLECTION… “SONGS FOR JEFFREY” 2008/9

“A FATHER’S LOVE”

Stars colliding in the night that is your day,
you’ve gone away, please stay an play, stay an play
Hurting children in old bones, yearning still but far from home
Missing children ripped away, don’t give up, just stay an play

Play this hurting in your soul, dance this dream, don’t let it go
We’re all acting anyway, what’s the ending? No, don’t say
This world is smaller every day, but you’re so far an so are they
Hold me close, or someone else. We all seek comfort – not this way!

Listen daughter, lend an ear – you’re on your own, once held so dear
All I can pray is you will find a love like mine in other times
Son of mine, my father too, I can only dream for you
Feel my blessing in your soul, your love for me once made me whole

Play this hurting in your soul, dance this dream don’t let it go
We’re all acting anyway, what’s the ending? No, don’t say…

LOOK UP….LOOK UP…LOOK UP… (instrumental)

(Spoken): Your sons and your daughters will speak endless truth. We old men dream dreams, and rail at the wind and the rain and the sea until and until we shall carry them home on our arms

Play this hurting in your soul, dance this dream don’t let it go
We’re all acting anyway, what’s the ending? Cry an pray…Cry an pray…
Play this hurting in your soul, dance this dream, don’t let it go
We’re all acting anyway, what’s the ending? CRY AN PRAY.

“JUST LOVE ME…

Don’t fix me, just love me honey, don’t fix me just love me
Don’t fix me, just love me honey, don’t fix me, just love me

Abba loved me so much, He paid the highest price
Put my tab on Jesus even though it was not nice.
Jesus loved me also, told me ‘You will do just fine’
Spirit loved me too, said ‘I will make the change, not you’

Don’t fix me, just love me honey, don’t fix me, just love me
Don’t fix me, just love me honey, don’t fix me, just love me

If I am me an you are you, if this is real an love is true
If I’m your mate, it’s not too late. We’ll love before we reach the gate.
I’ll love you too, I’ll never leave. I will not cheat, I’ll always cleave
Put a ring on my finger promise me, keep me free don’t censor me

Don’t fix me, just love me honey, don’t fix me, just love me
Don’t fix me, just love me honey, don’t fix me, just love me

This freebird wants to come home, tho flying’s coarsing through my blood
You speak to my restless roaming soul – dead prey falls to ground with a thud
Verily, verily I say unto you…unless a seed fall into the ground and die…..
Don’t fix me – I love you, I love you, I love you….

“THANKYOU”

Words can scarce express the gratitude I feel
Words can scarce express – the fear is gone.
Love could scarce contain extremities of pain
Silence was the only choice remain

The weeping of the soul, the rage of lost control
A passage in the mind – unlighted path…
My flailing arms grasp out for beauty
Spirit soul and body being one

And then…
The tears turn into laughter, irreverence in love
Words can scarce express my love for you
my love for you this love for you……

DESIRE

The yearning inside me for beauty inside me
your beauty your manhood your love

brings trembling, arching back, pointing toes
and peace…inside and out, in my mind’s eye

in my body’s memory, in the imprint of my soul
and the branding of my psyche

if you desire me, if your yearning reaches
as mine does for stars and skies and galaxies

if you desire me, my warmth for yours and with yours
and by yours, and yours in mine

if you desire me in that peaceful ecstasy
where you are you and I am me

then beauty is as beauty does and mine is yours
my darling, in mirrors that blend

and see unity not difference, see congruity
not anxiety, see love in windows of souls forever

ONE SUNDAY OF FORGIVENESS

Today my heart was heavy
as I read of all your frolics
and wondered if we’d ever
change from melancholics

we touched the depths of loneliness
and courage found to speak it
we wept the tears of emptiness
we climbed the mountain peaks

of cacophany and beauty,
of ecstasy, debauchery,
of rage and blasphemy
tsunami of tyranny on tyranny

Today an ancient preacher
of Ulster and the Crown
apologised to catholics
I counted myself one

He wept as he repented
of treaties long ago
signed in blood of grandads
‘gainst a Truth they did not know

He asked for ‘our’ forgiveness
even then my heart was slow
to lay down heritage of hatred
for those men I did not know

Yet Paisley was a preacher man
I was raised to hate
and admiration could not hide in me
as he laid down at the gate

The gate of freedom
new beginnings, His God and mine
He spoke…and warned him never more
To tell us No.

Don’t tell me no, my lover
Say yes and I will wait
Say yes and I will give my life
To meet before the gate

CANCEL EVERYTHING…..

I will cancel everything I will wait like a tiger ready to spring to your side whenever you want me….

I will run like a cheetah not a cheater, I will run and straddle oceans not lovers to be with you…

I will wait like a lioness with cubs whilst you conquer kingdoms and bring home the spoil for your loved ones…

I will love like a lover yet not yet a lover I will love like never before

for you and in you and to you from Him ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Because He loves us.

swans....swans….
