A love in verse

Not Perfect

Though your sweet voice frightens the cat

I cannot have enough of that

Stentorian snores disturbing air

I love – cos it means you are there. 

Asleep after the very first clue – 

I say “sweet dreams dear – I love you”

And glasses lost ten times today?

There’s mine to borrow anyway

The wine stock drastically reduced?

Still by your eyes I am seduced

Though (unlike me) you’re not perfection

You’re kind and give me an erection!

Old Friends

Seagulls- you see them all your life

And hear them- that cacophony!

Far inland even on Parliament Hill

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...
