I love the times you call me a cunt

Though some might think it an affront

But I still bliss in knowing this:

Behind each cunt word is a kiss,

Each savage swearword hides a song

Of love to tell me I belong

 

Belong to the beautiful team called Us

Where there’s not disharmonious fuss

But realisation, and the fact

That our encounter was an act

Made in heaven, or something like

Where love’s in power and hate’s on strike

 

So, darling darling it’s no stunt

Nor are you being unfairly blunt

When you say (I love it) “cunt”

Sonnet: Love that Has Cost Me Dear

How much my love for you has cost me dear

For love I have surrendered loneliness

The choice of life bereft of cheer...

The Missing Poem

It's good to stride out with your lover at dusk

The sky is still luminous with purple clouds drifting...
