Water

drink this water slowly
to fill the hollow
don't overflow, don't tip
this gentle sweetness
this heavenly bliss
it's enough for you
only for you
to taste, to savour
to be a believer
the wine is healthy
heavenly and heady
crawl to me, beg from me
make love for what you want
this is what you want
when you're dry and sober
you'll come back for more


Stand Still

Turn around, look at me
Look at me the way I see you
I want you to see me
the way I see you

I know you see me
But you can't - not that way
Not with the way I feel
I never had the nerve to say

I strangely care
You don't even know
I don't even know why
But I'll die if I show

I like you
But you don't know that
Who knows what you feel
I don't want it to be fact

I can't take disappointment
I fear your reaction
It won't be the right one
I know you won't return my affection

Let me sit behind you
You won't have to know
I'll sit behind you
and wait till you go

I'll get through this
Like I never knew
I won't have to face it
I won't have to face you

Not a word from me
no return from you
No one needs to know
Then I don't have to know the truth


Friendship Theme

A friend never far
shining as homely as a heavenly star
True of heart
dishonesty would break you apart
Close and deep
secrets and feelings to keep
Bright warm smiles
make the day seem worthwhile
A helping hand
believes in you even when you can't
In bad times and in good
when you want or when you think you should
Loyalty to the end
never betrayed, always to defend
In seriousness the laughter
makes for a happy ever after
Admiration of a hero in the mind's eye
Your strength helps them to fly
With new people, one must be told
of habits. But I know you of old
Not always in sync of time
Not yours, not mine
Never let you down
A happy face when you feel like a frown
Positive words fill the air
When you don't seem to care
Never can be ill at them
A pleasant voice makes everything forgotten
Never will one be left
Not in mailce, not in death
A special word, known only to us
as friends go, we are the best
