A love in verse

Moscow Nights

Moscow nights are minus one

Moscow days have lots of fun

A certain amount of painful fun

(A subway system second to none)

But Moscow nights are minus one


Moscow nights are minus you

Moscow days without you too

Quite a lot of things to do

(The Kremlin’s worth an hour or two)

But Moscow! Moscow’s minus you


I turn my heart each Moscow day

Where sixteen hundred miles away

I left my love where two girls play

And more than tired rhymes can say

I miss my loves each Moscow day.

Though I’m under the spell

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

It still may not be well...

Leaves Hold Fast

You see the leaves that fall in autumn – 

Each one’s a dream that’s died

Of love, achievement, each a post mortem...
