If I don't post something because you have and then your blog goes bye bye, I won't be able to find what I need. To blog is also a record of where I have been, so why not double post.

Damn! The individual poem URLs forward to an index Publications page. So much for that.

Yet I can't resist. I have to post this one.

Love Never Dies by Kevin Davies

Show me the place where we parted and whisper to me that we're there
Without any words can I hear you
Without any touch am I near you
I try to recall all my feelings but all I can reach for is night
If you want to share my confusion
Then you'll always be touched by illusion
I would always close my eyes to all the things which healed me
My darkest dreams were borne inside
My kindest place I had to hide
In ever-lonely waves I wept and drowned the tides away
Did I ever ask more than my right
Would the figures now fly from my sight
Shining by my precious bride
The softest skin was held in pride
And they with all their bitter games
Could never cast her flame aside
Tomorrow never knows its way
Or seeks the path from yesterday
But only plays the truth that is
Love never dies - just fades to grey
