A Beat Escapes

I didn't see you,
In the real sense of seeing you,
Until you spoke
And in that moment -
The moment I first saw you -
I knew I'd seen you somewhere before.
I'd given you a name before the world was born.
You've tracked through my dreams all my life.
Every place I've gone,
I've looked,
Searching for you.
In books,
In stories,
In stony corridors,
Real and of the soul,
I've searched for you.

And when I found you,
Time stopped.


And then, with the softest beat,
After slowing my heart
For the longest second,
The clock ticked on again.

Vinculum

Two numbers sat together, two
One was me and one was you
A line was drawn to join us both
A tie of love, a sign of troth

A Ray of Hope

There's a ray of hope
Shining right here
There's a ray of light
For you
There's the possibility
Of true joy,
True joy,
'Cause there's a ray of hope
Shining in you.

Nothing matters more
Than you
Nothing makes my soul glow so
Nothing makes the world
Dazzle in so many colours
But you.

There's a ray of hope
Shining right here
There's a ray of light
For you
There's the possibility
Of true joy,
True joy,
'Cause there's a ray of love
Shining in you.

Smallie - The Earnest Bear

I want to reach out
And feel out your fingers
Show you this love is
The kind that lingers.
I want keep you
Warm and safe,
In a perilous world,
Create a happy place.
I want to show you
Whenever you're sad,
Whenever you're down,
That things won't be so bad.
I want to hold you
And keep at bay
All these worrisome fears
So I could just say,
Through all of these words,
Connecting the dots:
I hope you like me
'Cause I love you lots.
