A love in verse

My daffodil, my leek, my love

My asphodel, she-dragon, you

Are green of all below, above

Including Eistedfoddau too

Leaving the coalface for the day

I set my cares and woe adrift

And after showering I’m on my way

Speed Her to Me

The clouds are breaking to the south

Sunlight is sifting through

And now I’m dreaming of the mouth...

“I Love Alison”

Darkness has won - though street-lamps soldier on 

Still overall oblivion’s in the sky

Thick and ruthless enemy of the eye...
