Flickering Affair

Are you going to write a song for me?

Is this how it's going to be?
A flickering affair
A flickering affair

I can see your energy
Firelight shining through at me
A flickering affair
A flickering affair

Virtual reality
Techno personality
A flickering affair
A flickering affair

Feel you reaching out to me
Don't want the unimaginary
A flickering affair
A flickering affair

What provides the rush?
Why do we care?
Where do we meet and touch
In this flickering affair?

Freedom

all of a sudden
a man-made construction
to stifle and enrage
like putting a cat
in a cage

feline affection
or nature's selection
runs deep and strong and true
I'll always come home
straight to you

don't build an artificial skin
don't promise me the stars or moon
just express the truth we're living in
share my space my time my tune

The Safest Place

We will lie down tonight
And everything will be alright
In the safest place on earth
The safest place

This is where I want to be
Wrapped up in you and you in me
In the safest place on earth
The safest place

Every boundary is a dotted line
Security is a paradigm
In the safest place on earth
The safest place

All the time in the world and none to spare
Appreciate and take more care
Of the safest place on earth
The safest place

Bad things happen and so do good
We'd stay right here if we only could
In the safest place on earth
The safest place

Hunting

ginger spirit stalks lothian fields

instinctive frequency banding

weary guilt weighed hunted standstill

fitful reluctant understanding

Old Friends

Silver circle on the wall

I want the secrets of your soul
Dare to hope that you still share
Those memories, more memories

Silver circle on the wall
A chance to touch but not to hold
See and show that you're still there
Those memories, more memories

Much outside and more within
The foolish path, the decent thing
Too much to lose, or so we thought
Could we have known they'd still be hurt?

Window View

this is the place

with views across

elastic space

moments to spare

with room to breathe

and be in

this is the time

of consciousness

chasing to cut

with confidence

and hope enough

to live in

cloudy clarity

one move at a time

stretching to find

horizon lines
