You are not here

I would be with you when you are asleep<br />I would touch your head with my hands<br />I would hug you and stroke your cheeks<br />I'd be with you when you dream<br />And every night I would be there <br /><br />You are not here is a book of poetry reflecting on life and love. It is poetry to think about to dream to and is illustrated throughout with full-colour plates of the poet's artwork.<br /><br />It's coming closer every day<br />Are you where the sun always shines?<br />Are you walking in the sand of the beach?<br />Where the water reaches up to your toes? <br />Are you making footprints in the sand<br />Just to show that you were there?
