After an affair
All too brief
Barely any more
Than an aperitif
She stole my heart
Like a common thief
To leave me
Alone in my grief
After an affair
All too brief
Barely any more
Than an aperitif
She stole my heart
Like a common thief
To leave me
Alone in my grief
True love arrived
Like a bolt from the
blue
In a chance encounter
At a place and point
in time
Someway distant
From that which they
should
Separately have
occupied
But the fates
conspired
A serendipitous event
To bring them, unwillingly,
To that blessed point
Of momentary symmetry
When they glimpsed
Their separate
histories
And shared future
They walked in silence
Two halves of a whole
Palm against palm
Soul against soul
Death came as no surprise
So I cannot understand
why
I am full to over
flowing
With tears I cannot
cry
Are you wearing wings?
And what are those
other things?
A stick? And scales of
justice?
Oh crikey are you my
Nemesis
There is knowledge I need to know
Which would help me
dispel a myth
If someone invented
instant water,
What would you have to
mix it with
In the elastic time of dreams
Where exists a cast of
thousands
The impossible is
possible
Logic ceases to exist
The living walk with the
dead
Rivers flow upstream
The sky is green
The grass is blue
So why with all the
infinite possibilities
Of my timeless dreams
Do I only dream of
you?
