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”

I’ll Be Around

Soon the winding counties will 

Be lost behind me, motorways

And bending roads, the shopping malls...

Silence

It’s more quiet than I’ve ever known

No cat stirs, wasp or fly. 

At least for a while...
