                                                                     ETERNITY
 
 
 
 
 
 
You are my eternal love.
 
You are my eternal sea.
 
You are my eternal thought that turns into a beautiful blue flame. 
 
Ablaze is your smile, orange and so kind, your voice so yellow, so sometimes shy.
 
White is so you on Sunday, do we really have to work on Monday?
 
I was so blind and lost until I met you, my eyes can finally start to focus now the snow has swept the unkindness away.
 
Heaven sends little messages to us all sometimes, just look around you for all the coded signs.
 
As a man I have lived in the darkness for so very long, everyday I  have prayed for your calming but gentle light that would save my soul.
 
Our hands will be intertwined for eternity when we are gone, our souls will find and call out for one another in the sands of time. I will find you again my sweet and only true love.
 
There is no greater love when a man will lay down his life for you, and even end all unjust wars just to be beside you, just for one last time. 
 
My amour is sealed to my left arm, which in turn connects my heart to the real and complicated world. 
 
I want  to hear your voice, and see your golden hair float in the early morning sunshine.  Naked you're there with me, it's beyond a wild dream. The scene is just so fluid surrounded by angels and a crystal stream.
 
We should always live in the moment and never look back.  There are so many little things I like about you; the best things for me is your red kisses at dawn, those hot words of passion that trap my heart and keep me wanting you in so many ways. 
 
 
 
 
                                                              REVOLUTION SONG
 
 
My voice is stronger than any weapon.
 
Our force is stronger than any goverment.
 
Our collective eyes are now seeing all the injustices for the first time.
 
My heart cries out amongst all men, women and children. It says a revolution is coming, gather all your last belongings and head swiftly to the mountains. We must think about the future and then save all the women and children.
 
I hear the sound of footsteps but they are not friendly or local, they call him the devil I am sure of that.
 
I am scared the old days will never return again.
There will never be laughter again, the sound of joy, no more beautiful blue interesting skies.
 
You are the monster from the depths of the cold darkness, you have raped this country for too long, be gone with you devil and take your hate with you.
 
This land is ours and you will never take it from us.
Old folks around here never cared for foolish ideas, only truth and real resolution.
 
Days of thunder will reign down on you for what you have done to us all.
 
My little brother was only 15 years old when you took him away.  Beaten then chained for days, then brutally shot, his young blood soaked in the painful earth.  I cried for 6 months and since that cold day, I have never spoken another word.
 
I say to you, your hate has made you blind my old but very sad friend. 
 
Why have you lost your way? I fear there is no more hope for you now.
 
There over that dusty rainy hill lays down so much death, my friend please choose life.
 
 
 
 
                                                          1000 SPACES
 
 
The hand that is stuck on the 12th hand, but I know it will not move for now.
 
This black and white existence is only for a short while....
 
The smoke of real life is strangling me, is there an exit? 
 
1000 people smile in a huge open space, but there is one that is unhappy, untravelled, really unloved, unused in life, far from home and lost at sea.
 
Happy little smile don't ever loose your bright star.
 
We have only seven days to go before the end of this brutal war.  I so missed your amazing sunlight smile, your sweet purfume, your soothing voice.  I'm no longer that sad man awaiting my turn to die, in this dark cold place that us men call hell on earth.
 
 
 
                                                                         
                                                                  Fare l'amore
 
 
You are completely beautiful sexy in your own style and with your nice clothes.
 
Silky tones of shadows on my bed, you're so naked with a smile to light up any cool city.
 
You are too much of a hot thing to put down, I'm really addicted to your body my god what an amazing body.
 
How can it be, you're just like a yellow dream inside my small universe.
 
A raging sea full of dancing currents. An elusive Phoenix flying passed my window.
 
Your laugh can be so infectious and untamed.
 
In your reflections I have found something pure and special.
 
What is love you ask me? 
 
Love for me is you my love.
