Certain Nights

Still it haunts me that I went – 

That I must go again – 

To that woman with morals bent

As corkscrews who, to men,

Is fanciable flesh and naughty tongue – 

To me her siren song is sung


When I’ve platonic hopes to nurse – 

She lures me along

All innocent, then worse and worse

Things get – I know it’s wrong,

Yet she’s a feast of all delights

Who drives me crazy certain nights.

A Fearsome Year

Come train through the forests of rain

Bring my girl to my aching arms

Into the night against the grain...

Though I’m under the spell

Of you when young, my life’s best half,

It still may not be well...
