A love in verse

In Bath

Though you cannot see my face

Let this note for now replace

That far from lovely feature. 

Let me say, on earth you are

My ever glamorous famous star

And dearest creature. 


A hundred odd miles lie between

Me and the sweetest sight I’ve seen

Ever: my darling Rose.

But bonds no distance can destroy

Join you to your loving boy;

Between us such love flows

That separation brings small sorrow – 

See you, gorgeous one, tomorrow.

Sorrow

You looking sad across the table

And me wishing I were able

To make some mirth have birth in those blue eyes...

Irrationality

You’re as wise as you are pretty 

When you say to me “Let go”

And when I think it a monstrous pity...
