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”

Third Person Singular

I lift iced whisky mixed with lemonade

To lips I love, watch cigarette smoke

Caress the evening light...

I Shall Not Hold You Again

In life I shall not hold you again-

I've held the box your ashes are in-

But I can't take death on the chin...
