A love in verse

Lights

Lights everywhere – long lights along a road.

Gold globes around a common estate 

Small lights in high rise flats.


Do not remind me of your eyes – 

Dull flecks what do they mean? 

There is such blue flame in your gaze


Blue is cold but not your blue

The differing city lights are cold

Light comes from yours like blue gas flame


And burns like that. Their memory

Burns me now I’m brazed with love.

I consider the blaze your arms


Body, eyes ignite. I’m matched, I flare

I light the cigarette that’s in your mouth.

Draw me in.

Life Blessed

The sweet-peas that she gathers 

Are destined for some jar

She walks the garden, scissors in hand...

A Fearsome Year

Come train through the forests of rain

Bring my girl to my aching arms

Into the night against the grain...
