A love in verse

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 hear (I hope!) the laughter swell

I tell the audience in my heart

“That laughter is for her as well”

Catch them suddenly – pinks – 

In a glance, surprised, as she enters...

All the Future

First day of the month I drag

My body down the station stairs

Sunny but chilly’s the verdict...
