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.
