A love in verse

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

And hopes diminish to a sigh


Save when I look into new time

Glowing gold outside the range

Of everyday – for with you I’m

Fulfilled – I need no dreams. It’s strange


But perfect; my new world with you

For its ingredients I taste

And satisfied I want no view

No dreamscape other – that’s a waste


Of my new time, in which to see

You breathe, look in your dazzling eyes

And hold all heaven close to me

And live beneath your better skies

In Bath

Though you cannot see my face

Let this note for now replace

That far from lovely feature...

A Fearsome Year

Come train through the forests of rain

Bring my girl to my aching arms

Into the night against the grain...
