Smile in the city

Going through old emails & messages and I came across this poem that I had written about two years ago and completely forgotten about it. I wonder how many exist out there just like this one. Enjoy!

Smile in the city today
Smile in your Woodsey way
The only smile I want to see
The one you reserve just for me

I’m going to the city today
I will be missing your smile in every way
The way you do it when your by my side
The way you do it with love and pride

I’m going to take look in Union Square
Search for something special for you there
Something that will bring a smile to your face
Something that is special, a reminder of this place

True

I’ve never been sure
About anything before
Until I met you

A light in my sky
A twinkle in your eye
That sparkle in you
A love deep & true!

Last Minute Love

Inspired by a story I overheard today!

I received a card from you today
Felt awkward as I didn’t realise you felt this way
I made a mad lunchtime dash to Paperchase
Butterflies fluttering in my stomach, making my heart race

WTF! Face palm moment – the shelves are bare
I looked out the window & you were walking right there
Smiling at me through the window in a passing glance
My Valentine love… Last minute romance.

Lust

We are just friends..
Why can’t we be lovers?
Through our lust we make amends
Tell ourselves – no hurt for others!

Future Mystery

I’ve had highs and had lows
Happiness seems to come then goes
No purpose in life – or clear direction
Life learnings are not found in self-reflection

Changing the person I want to be
Rewriting the plan – starts to fuel the mystery
Burning all of my failure & deepest fears
Reinvent – remodel – no more tears

Wrong

I stood there and watched
Feeling cold – no blood rush – numb & blue
As you kissed him and shared a new song
I thought our love was forever true
I was wrong

Another Day

Christmas this year is a day like any other
Spent away from mother, sister and brother
A time to reflect and renew
Restart & refresh, find me – without you!

Prison

Trapped in my minds prison
Reflecting upon the life I was given
Time served for foolish regrets
Those affected shall never forget

Christmas

There will be no midnight mass ceremony
There will be no stockings to open & see
There will be no you & there will be no me

There will be no excitable morning cups of coffee or tea
There will be no turkey, stuffing, pigs in blankets, veg & cranberry
There will be no mince pies & the odd glass of sherry

There will be no decorations or lights on the tree
There will be no arguments over what to watch on TV
This is Christmas 2011 – there is only me!

Reality TV

Inspired by a day dream about reality TV when I felt the hairs on the back of my head stand on end when I listened to a beautiful voice.

The X-Factor

What’s your name and how old are you
My name is Dan, I’m 32
Why have you come here today
I write songs for others to sing
Today I’m going to sing my song, my way
Take your time, whenever your ready
Deep breath, heart goes ba-boom ba-boom
Music plays…
Epic chorus…
Good vibes start to fill the room
Harmonies unite the now-standing crowd
Family watches on with tears
Mum feeling very proud
As she turns to Dermott and says
I haven’t heard my son sing this song for years
The judges are now on their feet with hands in praise
Tears of joy and happiness run down my face
Time to vote now
I feel the air in my lungs getting thin
Yes… followed by…
Outstanding yes!
Amazing yes!
I smile
Absolutely 100% yes!
A cheeky little grin
The crowd roar as I step back and bow
You have the X-Factor Dan, a lyrical prowess.
