A love in verse

We Lose a Little of Our Soul

No one can quite understand 

Not young exactly THEN

The wildness of the Sixties

The promise of things when


Tight restraints were stretching

To and past their breaking point – 

Freedom to throw away your tie

And smoke a crafty joint,


Burst, like a new dawn, on a world

Suffering since the war;

A gay parade came – at the head

Sergeant Pepper – the Fab Four


Four were few enough – EACH ONE

Part of a perfect whole

When any went – John and now George

We lose a little of our soul


That’s why we wept St Andrew’s day

George Harrison was dead

I’m glad we share – it draws us close 

In blessings on his head

Growing Old

You feel beleaguered when you’re old

For what’s to come? Fuck all, you’d say

The last few sunsets slip away…

Away on Tour

Darkness is tumbling from the flies

And fills the gloomy wings

Your backstage lover sits and sighs...
