LOST 

By Phillip Miller

Come back to me my love

The days are so dark without you.

In my life there is emptiness,

a dark cloud above me like nothing before.

I can only walk so far my love

Before I reach that door we all go through.

I know that with you beside me

I am fulfilled, I ask nothing more.

But I cannot see you sad, so give in

to your whims, your silence,

though it cuts me deeply.

Come back to me my love, come back to me.

JUST VISITING

By Phillip Miller

If you feel cold on a hot summer’s night

please don’t worry, don’t take flight.

If you hear a song but see no one sing

if you catch a feather, but not a wing.

Don’t be scared my darling

It’s me, I’m just visiting.

OLD FATHER TIME

By Phillip Miller

He crept up on me

I didn’t see him coming

That wicked old man

I looked at myself daily

No sign of him, ever

Then, out of the blue, I saw him.

A shiver went through me

And it was then that I knew

Old father time had fooled me

just like he’s fooling you.

Sunrise

By Phillip Miller

Sunrises, dawn chorus begins

Rays kiss the sea, and a bird sings.

Purple, red and orange, a haze of mist and light

Sun has risen, kiss goodbye to night

Clouds appear, like clusters of cotton

A shape forms, but is soon forgotten

You smile at the sky and forget your woes,

when caressed by this light

from your head to your toes.
