Hebridean Dreams

 
~ Hebridean Dreams ~
 
Give me a cottage
anywhere in the Hebrides
share the wonder with me
 
 
I'm dreaming of desolate beauty
ancient ruins, mountains and rock
 
 
 
I'm dreaming of breathtaking views
the bluest seas and the greenest hills
 
 
 
white sand beaches and flowering machair
a little bit of everything
 
 
 
I have never been here
yet I feel I am coming home
 
explore the isles in the day with me
sit and watch the wildlife
they are in no hurry either
 
 
and in the evenings
keep that wood stove burning
whisper to me in Gaelic
 
we are all we need
in this wondrous place
and my heart is open.

Indigo Wishes and Starlight Dreams

 
 
In the corner of the sky
imagine time and love
an overture of dreams
as simple as it seems
 
I hear a symphony
where there was darkness
and I am swept away
the stars have shown the way
 
surrender to the night
stop, look, listen (to your heart)
reflections of tenderness
together we are effortless
 
what a little starlight can do
 
this is the part where you...

Mirage



~ Mirage ~
 

What was it
that drew you to me that day?
I thought you a songbird
but you were a bird of prey
 
your words of grandeur
spoke to my core
you drew me in
with the promises you swore
 
I expected honor
but your words were hollow
still I didn't know
the deceit that would follow
 
when I asked you why
it came to an end
I may as well
have been talking to the wind
 
silence and scars
it's what we became
your plan executed
and you had no shame
 
it's why I lie
and self-sabotage
claiming I'm better alone
because love's a mirage
 
who means what they say?
it's why I cry
because I don't know how
to trust the next guy.
