A love in verse

Three boats ride at anchor in the calm night

Warning lights winking without respite

And the far headlands to left and right

Harbour the sea

Lapping under where we

From our balcony

Watch for the dawn

Ouzo that clouds when water’s poured in

Cigarettes in the half dark as dawn’s sighs begin:

The streaks in the east and that rattling din

Of fishing boats, early

Skies become pearly

Dawn with my girlie

By the Aegean

Juvenalia

When I remember boyhood dreams I’m sad

That all I would accomplish was not done.

‘Not all’? I might more truthfully say...

Good Morning

When you’re putting on the second shoe

Time’s getting on but not too late

And a lovely voice call up to you...
