Forgive long days when no notes come

I feel the lack as well as you – 

Something creative and honest to do – 

I fear you’ll feel my love’s struck dumb,

But, no, I love you on and on

And on till time itself is gone

This love affair with you I must

Honour in deed and word and verse

Always – thoughts of your eyes I’ll nurse,

Your marvellous hair, your looks – discussed

Within these lines a million times

In silly, earnest, well-meant rhymes – 

Forever
