AFTER AN AFFAIR

 

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

 

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

 

They walked in silence

Two halves of a whole

Palm against palm

Soul against soul

DEATH CAME AS NO SURPRISE

 

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?

 

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 # 10

 

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

 

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?
