And there on
A road I
Saw a candle
Lit window aflicker
After my long
Journey past empty
Houses a light
Drew me there
And a stranger
Greeted me one
That became a
Friend and lover
And that one
Simple candle has
Never gone out
And there on
A road I
Saw a candle
Lit window aflicker
After my long
Journey past empty
Houses a light
Drew me there
And a stranger
Greeted me one
That became a
Friend and lover
And that one
Simple candle has
Never gone out
Too many bottles
Too many men
To forget you
Too much wine
Too much weed
To forget you
Why oh why
Won’t you leave
Me alone like
You did two
Fortnight before you
Haunt me us
Is that fair
You with strangers
And with me
With others that
Don’t mean anything
Holidays are cruel
Too many memories
Of love curdled
Long lost ornaments
Yellowed wrapping paper
And time tinged
Ribbon joy and
Gleeful laughter now
Go silent fallen
In love married
Now all gone
One last hurdle
In loves steeplechase
Our anniversary will
It trip me
Sending me once
Again to stumble
Or will I
Clear it finally
And trot on
I write you
I always have
You said that
I make you
Sound better than
You are that’s
Because to me
You are shall
We accept that
And move on
Or be something
More different better
Not to each
Other but just
Only to ourselves
And so I
Start the year
New single alone
A place of
Focus and strength
Rebirth and humility
Humanity and compassion
Hope and love
I know that
This year will
Be a better
Year than before
Because you’re all
Still in it
Happy New Year
