I WAS READY, WITHOUT A DOUBT

 

I was ready, without a doubt

Ready for the one

I was set on the start line

Heart beating at the run

Then bang!

Went loves starting gun

SHE’S TICKING ALL THE BOXES

 

“She’s ticking all the boxes”

I thought to myself

When I first laid eyes on her

But of course she wasn’t perfect

That would have been a claim too far

Then when we spoke, at length

More boxes were checked

But again she fell short of the summit

But then who wants perfection

Which is in reality subjective

I have met girls in my life

Slightly more than ordinary

But thought themselves perfect 

And others nearly perfect

And thought themselves ordinary

This girl was as close to it

As I had ever come

Or wanted to come

For if she was to be flawless

That would be unnatural

As well as undesirable

For it’s in the imperfections

Where character lies

OH WIND OF LOVE

 

Oh wind of love,

Blow my way

Have influence over me

Like the moon does the tides

Bring music into the silence

And shine your light

Into every darkened corner

And fill my world with love

YOU BRING ME RAINBOWS

 

You bring me rainbows

Of an April morning

You bring me the laughter

Of a hundred happy children

You bring me the azure blue

Of a summer sky

You bring me the scented meadows

Of a summer day

You bring me the moonlight

Of a star bright night

You bring me the wonders

Of the modern age

But most of all you bring me

A love that I have never known

FINALLY I FOUND SOMEONE TO LOVE

 

Finally, I found someone to love

Someone caring and nice

Someone who loves me

But it was over in a trice

For I was complacent

And so paid the ultimate price

THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE

 

Sending signals

And reading

The replies

A look or gesture

That holds a message

To be relayed

Is as ancient

As hieroglyphs

And as difficult

To translate

THE WORDS FLOWED

 

The words flowed

like spring melt

Rushing to fill

Every stream of reason

Every rivulet of love

With bitter bile

I FELL FOR YOU

 

I fell for you

Like a stone

And I am in heaven

I’m walking on air

As I imagine

Your arms around me

And if you fall for me

You’ll leave me breathless

DISTANT SUMMER

 

I look back fondly

Across the years

On that brief affair

So glorious, yet

All too brief

Like a perfect summer

That left its mark

Forever on my heart


MY SWEET WORDS OF LOVE

 

My sweet words of love

Were wasted on her it appears

Because all I got in return

Was the bitter sting of tears

SHE WAS MY COMPASS

 

She was my compass

And my anchor

She steered me

And held me

She gave me direction

And stability

Without her I am

Lost at sea

And rudderless

HER BEAUTY WAS LIKE THE SPRING

 

Her beauty was like the Spring

A smile as warm as Summer sun

Tempestuous like an Autumn gale

And as refreshing as a Winters day

EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD (7)

I will sail Around the Cape of Good Hope

where the two great oceans meet

I will follow you to the ends of the earth

Because you’re the only one for me 

RESOLUTE AND STRONG

 

My love for her

Is resolutely strong

She lifts my heart

Like the sweet song

Of woodland birds

In chorused throng

SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL

 

She was beautiful

Like a Constable landscape

And she painted love

Into my dreary world

Each brushstroke

Changing me forever

SHE WAS SO ELEGANT

 

She was so elegant

And light of step

As if on Angels wings

She was swept

From heavens high

Into my arms

To bless my life

With her charms

I SPOKE THE WORDS

 

I spoke the words

Though they came hard

But I could see each syllable

Cut her like a blade

Each word was a stab at her heart

The final sentence the coup de grace

A pregnant pause followed

She looked stunned

Bemused by my speech

Then the tears came

But I had no words of comfort

It hurt me to know

That I had hurt her

But I couldn’t live another minute

In a loveless void

HE KISSED LIFE INTO HER

 

He kissed life into her,

Like a prince of old

Dispelling everlasting slumber

In a Fairy story often told

When Sleeping Beauty

Woke from her trance

To gaze into the eyes of love

And then forever dance

SOFT KISSES, PLANTED

Soft kisses, planted

Like whispers

On expectant lips

Then a smile of coyness

And a blush

The hue of Rose Hips

YOUR SERPENT HIPS

 

Your serpent hips

And slender limbs

The glow and lustre

On your skin

In the half light

Of the afterglow

Beyond the bliss

And read the smile

On each other’s lips
