A love in verse

I’ll Be Around

1994-10-20

Soon the winding counties will 

Be lost behind me, motorways

And bending roads, the shopping malls

That look the same in every town

Strange new digs and different beds

Will fade their colours from my mind:

Within my fingers, all moist heat

Of lips’ pressed passion I’ll enjoy

Returning to your warm dear arms

Knowing your nearness, knowing too

I’ll be around, I’ll be around,

All through the days I’ll be around

To love – the places where you are

Or will be soon.

I sing an Edinburgh song:

Of love in bed all morning long

(We never made that lunchtime show)...

No You

All the fine fire sun sends down.

The leaving green, the heaving sea, the air 

Cool as a dream of snow in Africa...
