Another Night I lie awake
Another Night so close to heavons gate
Another story from lips grown blue
of heartbreak,death and the happy few

I see you so close
I kiss your lips, my red rose
I hear the words you spoke then
My hearts still hears words of a women

Another Night i lie awake
Another night the pain I take
longing to be with my love
when morning rises high above

You never left my dreams of blue
with me, the years, You've travelled through
From Slum to Slum we've gone
Into the sky and the new Morn

Another Night i lie awake
Another Night no tears are faked
Loving Bride, tender heart
I feel the heat of my tears start

Yet I walk without a break
Your memory becoming the songs I make
My pillow soaked with blood and tears
I will carry with me down the years

Another Night i lie awake
Another night and step i make
From this world to another place
where you sing and with love once again we chase

I see you Now
as the night grows blue
Through satin sheets
Through years untrue

Another night i lie awake
Another night in the bottles wake
My life slips gently out of time
It is over this life of mine





Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
'Tis

Walter...
         I can really feel the heartache and

          But there's always the morning...

walter.. this poem is so heartbreakingly sad
i dont really have the words to respond.
one of the gifts of a truly well written poem is when it evokes hearfelt emotions
from the reader ...
this one does that and more
take care gentle poet in the dark

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.
