A love in verse

An Ideal Husband

I feel my life blessed by your love 

I sit here in a radiant sun

Reminded of you, warmth above,

All round, with yours within made one.


And from a train, the Thames, the trees,

Appearing perfect in their grace

Share their lovely power to please

With the heaven of your face.


And even when I play my part

And hear (I hope!) the laughter swell

I tell the audience in my heart

“That laughter is for her as well”

Schubert

Already I’ve forgotten what you wore

Sunday, standing by the fridge; it was black,

And your arm supported the broom...

Lovers

You’re out there in the peopled world

Bobbing heads crowd your fair face

You sit in tunnels and in buses...
