A love in verse

Another Light

If I don’t find you in the rain

I’ll send the rain back up again

The moisture of your mouth is better


Sky? There must be finer blue

To look upon, a lovelier hue:

Your eyes – the sky’s your debtor


And when the birds sing their dull song

I’ll shoo them off, say “No, you’re wrong – 

Her notes are like a sinfonietta”


And when the sun sends feeble rays

I’ll say “another lights my days – 

You’re boring since I met her”

Growing Old

You feel beleaguered when you’re old

For what’s to come? Fuck all, you’d say

The last few sunsets slip away…

Vain Summer Things

In void cloudless afternoons

With dust on kerbs, trees weary with the sun

I thought of things, things I might do...
