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

Silver

The breeze favoured me on Turnham Green 

Urging me Brentford-ward long before

The bus arrived. Air had a silver sheen...

"Guess What, Love"

Sometimes you don’t remember she’s gone

-You should, it’s quiet- in the rooms, outside

And it’s quiet because she’s died...
