A love in verse

Come to the Show

Chivalrous feelings restrain 

A chap who is your worshipper

And yet the fact must remain: 

You spent so much time as a stripper


You stripped all over the house,

The floors, staircases and rooms

Now I wouldn’t be one to grouse

A broadminded man never fumes


Wherever you stripped there was beauty

Your stripping so pleased the eye

Why not? You thought it your duty

And I told myself: lucky guy

“To have such a wife who can strip

In such fashion – that’s real showmanship!”

Ever Young

I’ve never thought of you as less than young

Though things concern you – imagined lines, maybe

White veins among your hair’s dark ore...

Vain Summer Things

In void cloudless afternoons

With dust on kerbs, trees weary with the sun

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