Wicked Love


Wicked love lies waiting

Exhausted with the afterglow

Of a lyrical dream on a summer night

Wicked love makes no promises

Takes nothing but remembrance

Just a whispered delight



Wicked love reasons not

Comes with nothing to tie it down

Takes what it can get, without regret

Wicked love is just what it is

What it can be, no more, no less

Can’t walk through the rain and not get wet



Wicked love won’t compete

With what it cannot beat

Or where it cannot be, or what it can’t hear

Wicked love burns alone

Lights up the neighbourhood

With invisible light, a vision that’s so clear



Wicked love is a flash

That won’t fade away too fast

Yes, no, maybe, it matters a lot, or not

Wicked love reappears

Just when you thought it’s gone

It’ll wait inside you, but be so hard to spot

Blue Flash

A flash of blue
A brown eye shines
Light of love
Salty lines

Clouded thunder
Lightning sky
Makes it dark
Doesn't tell me why

Deepest pools
Secret soul
Speckled light
Ragged hole

Sometimes always
Never at all
Somewhere to start
Somehow to stall

So the story spins
Kicking along
A rolling stone drops
The feeling is strong

Make of it something
Or let it go
Slide into the rhythm
Get into the flow
Don’t need to understand
If you can feel
Counts for something
It’s the real deal                                        

Moving targets
Slipping goals
Missing heartbeats
Changing roles

Plucked out of static
That flash of blue
A smile, a feeling, a touch, a look
Something felt, something true
All around us
Wrapping around
Mystical sunshine
Onward bound
