Hybrid Rider (bike before date)

A bike life started at the age of 5,

Tried to pull a wheelie, I don't know why!

Full speed ahead from the top of my street,

Pulled both brakes, didn't land on my feet!

Face first into the ground but what happened next,

In the hospital, child abuse is what they suspect,

I tell them my story of my two wheel machine,

Laughter all around, all consciences are clean,

By age 13 I got my first bmx, grey haro bike,

I never knew how much this would change my life!

Dirt jumping, street riding, parks and flatland too,

Anything I could think on this beast is what I tried to do,

Stair sets, doubles, half pipes and spines,

I'll go for all of them, this life is mine!

My mind used my body as a wager,

So I smiled in the eyes of danger,

Until I hit my bike before date,

Age 22, barspins were such a mistake!

One rolled ankle, cast on for weeks,

Tried riding but it would always tweak,

My bike before date was age 23,

This is it, biking's over for me,

I mope and I sorrow, loss of fun,

So that's when I decided to run,

Competing is fun you get such a buzz,

But training is dull, not as fun because,

There are no crowds, no intense sessions,

No huge speeds or life long lessons,

Until I find my bike before date was a lie,

I borrow a hybrid bike from some guy,

The wheels are too big, the bars are too wide,

What is this gear thing? But boy did it fly!

So lets move forward onto a road bike,

This is when I knew I hadn't hit my bike before life!

Viking Echelon top end entry level,

That should do me, where's the pedals?!?

A few more tweaks here and there,

Cleats, pedals, water bottle and spares,

Now I don't think like any road biker does,

My bmx background makes me quite tough,

I see an object within my path,

Heading towards it at speed, swerve or crash?

Neither you see as I'm a hybrid rider,

I bunny hop over it and try to get higher,

Adrenaline pumping through my veins again,

Bike before age? HA! It'll take more than pain!

For I am a hybrid, mixture of riders,

Bmxer for life, road rider for surviver. 

Dreaming of an Angel

I had a dream the other night,

That I was flying with an angel,

She took me by my hand,

And flew around Nottingham without a need to land,

We lay between the stars and the ground,

Looking down at the river Trent,

Watching the stars shimmer in the water,

Until we started our descent,

To dance on the stars, on the river top,

With the angel in my dreams,

This feels strangely like reality,

But reality is never what it seems,

How I wish this was real,

My beautiful angel,

This girl of my dreams.

Psycho Holiday

Sat in the airport,

There's nothing to do,

The time crawls by,

Oh what should I do?

I found the bar,

Not enough money to drink,

A few pints though,

And I might start to think.

As the day grows longer,

Yet it's all worth while,

For I'll finally see your face,

The psycho with the amazing smile.

Valentine

You walk in beauty,

Like the night,

Carrying the stars,

Within your eyes. 

So let us have,

This moment so true,

We walk together,

As snow falls from the skies. 

May I take,

Your hand in mine?

And kiss you softly,

Beneath these stars that shine. 

Warm Milk and Honey

Warm milk and honey,

Now isn't it funny,

How it takes all your problems away.

Not really my issues,

But I do really miss you,

So I worry about your problems instead.

Some day we will sway,

And dance, sing and play,

And not have a problem in the world.

When we become sane,

Everything becomes plain,

In the words of Jaco "who loves ya babe?"

As Thrones Fall

I love you, my dear,

Until the end of time,

I swear this to the gods,

The old, the new and mine.

You are my life beyond the wall,

My mistress waiting for kingdoms to fall,

So we can be together, you and I,

Just look up to the night sky. 

And follow where the crow will soar,

Beyond the north, beyond the wall,

For winter is coming and I need to keep you safe,

Now take my hand and we'll leave this place.

I will protect you my one true love,

To take the fight and grab it by the scruff,

Of the neck to save my loves life,

Please do me the honour of becoming my wife?

The Secret Love

Oh how you have touched me so,
No physical contact needed though,
Your words and soul clench my heart,
Cupid can strike even miles apart.

You pull my strings without trying,
If I ever said I don't love you I would be lying,
But your life leads in every direction,
Except for mine, I'm hoping for a correction.

There's so much to offer,
So much to share,
Everything I've ever had,
You're everything I will ever care.

This secret love I have for thee,
Growing inside me like an olive tree,
Will show one day that my love is true,
Forever over my heart like a tattoo.

The End Of Longing

As the winter grows old,
And the nights grow longer,
I can feel our love,
Growing stronger and stronger,
Every day and every night,
My heart burns with your delight,
Longing and waiting, it will all be worth,
To finally lift us of this curse,
This ache and pain we've had for so long,
Will disappear for longer than the sun has shone,
For I love you and you love me,
Together at last for the world to see,
Forever in my arms,
This I would love,
From me to you,
My beautiful Dove.
