If

If I laughed when I had the chance

If I did when you asked me to dance

If no-one were watching us

If time was not stalking us

If all that was wrong turned right

If we we could be alone tonight

If hearts were never broken

If there were no words left unspoken

If not a glistening tear shed

If tomorrow I don't wake from bed

If your eyes didn't betray the truth

If we could drink from a fountain of youth

If money moved not a man

If only they would understand

If a kiss could bring me to life

If blood never dripped from a knife

If the world stopped going round
If we could run away and never be found

If my every wish were granted true

I'd only wish to stay with you.

Sharing Blood

To my favourite tune I sing along

Is he psychic?

He walks in humming the exact song

That's how I know

Me and my bro

Share blood

I fight with the little tyke

For the T.V. remote

Whoa! It's the same channel we like

Did you know

Me and my bro

Share blood.

All set for the jamming party

But to get embarrassed

I notice our identical jeans and tees

It goes to show

Me and my bro

Share blood

Dreaded day at the clinic

What are the results?

O+ve after the needle prick

Now everyone knows

Me and my bro

Share blood

Give Us A Minute

Each day, the clocks run on
Our filtered conversations others watch upon
Needing escape from this world, moribund
To where our hearts beat as one sound

A minute to drown in your eyes, deep
From curiosity that stealthily creeps
A minute to lie in your open arms,
Safe from a world of scathing harm

To speak uncensored, animated
To curse all the people I've hated
To whisper locked secrets to you and
To melt into the warmth of your hands

Alive will they be, my love
Every moment at night we have dreamed of
Secluded in our far away place
Unhindered by neither time nor space

Soon, we will share time together
The seconds will tick like a falling feather
But each other, nothing will we see
Just a minute, alone, you and me.
