A love in verse

The Beautiful Team

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”

read more...

Then

I got down from the train at Kew

Crossed the road to catch the bus

To home, the very heart of us...

The New World

When time is old I fold my dreams

Within the earth and let them lie

Knowing that nothing’s what it seems...
