length
Over thick black wool tights
And the not unattractive legs
Terminated into sensible shoes
I tried small talk
But she was not receptive
Her demeanor was positively frosty
Every enquiry she batted back to me in the negative
But despite everything
There was something about her that I liked
Something intangible
curiously she was not my type
in any way, but still there was something
So I decided to persevere
But because I wanted to
Not because I had to
So firstly I paid off on the bet
I wasn’t doing it for a stupid bet
But because of that intangible something
An itch I couldn’t scratch kind of thing
Realizing small talk would get me nowhere
I thought I would try a different tack
And converse with her on her own terms
I had to engage her intellect
So each day I would go to the library
And ask her to recommend a book
Which we could then discuss each day
And each day she thawed a little
Then I posed her questions,
History, Geography, the arts
I found her to be both knowledgeable and interesting
And I found that I was becoming interested
In the subjects we were discussing
And looked forward to our time together
As each day she thawed a little more
I wanted to have more
Than just the few precious hours at the library
But I didn’t want to undo what I had achieved
Upset the status quo
And refrigerate her again
Then at the end of one particular day
Prudence asked me
“Would you like to go for a coffee?”
I was speechless but nodded in the affirmative
Later she told me
She fell for me because I engaged her mind
And valued her for what was between her ears
And not what was between her legs
Or inside her sweater
LOVE IS MORE
Love is more
Than aesthetics
Beauty is only skin deep
It may be what you first notice
Or what first gets you noticed
But it’s not enough
Love is more than the flashy cover on a book
Love is
What can’t be seen at first glance
It’s what’s beneath the surface
It’s the detail on every page of the book
That has to be studied
It’s what remains when beauty fades
It is the constant
Love is more
Than physical attraction
Or physical expression of that attraction
Even when it’s fantastic
It’s not enough
Love is
What you do in between the sex
Not just kisses that delight
It’s in the conversation
And the understanding
It’s holding hands and not caring who sees
Its walks in the country
It’s dancing cheek to cheek to cheesy love-songs
It’s caring and sharing
Love is being diminished by its loss
YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE
You are the sunshine
That makes the whole world smile
I am the rain
That cools things down awhile
Together we make a rainbow
That everyone can see
The vibrant colours in the sky
Shout out that you love me
EPITHALAMIUM # 1
Since that summer day
When you first caught my eye
You’ve lit up my life
Like the sun rising in the morning sky
We got to no each other
On that glorious afternoon
We asked the important questions
And found we were in tune
At the end of that perfect day
That perfect summer day in June
I took you in my arms
And we kissed beneath the moon
Now it is another summer day
Another perfect afternoon
And we are side by side
On our wedding day in June
OVERTHROW OF THE HEART
Love once reigned in my heart
But it has been deposed
Because I didn’t try to keep you
The coup went unopposed
Now loneliness reigns supreme
That Prince of misery
If I had fought to keep you
You might still be with me
EPITHALAMIUM # 2
As spring turned to summer
Nary a cloud marked the sky
As I looked at my maiden fair
I wiped a tear from my eye
As we stood before God at the alter
And made our vows, my love and I
YOU ARE MY RAINBOW
Red is for your passion
Orange is loves warm glow
Yellow is the light
Green is for your eyes
Blue is for the clarity
Indigo is for your radiance
Violet the scent of love
And like my love for you
A rainbow has no end
THE BOOK OF LIFE
My life is like a book
Filled with all the special moments
And endless characters
Each page a catalogue of my experiences
Every up and down
Every high and low
But my life only truly began
When you turned the page
And started a new chapter
IF WE HAD MET AT A DIFFERENT TIME
If we had met at a different time
I would have asked out Charlie
Charlie the beautiful young brunette
Whose voice alone was sufficient to arouse
Hazel eyes that could mesmerize
And her heady perfume was hypnotic
Just to look at her curves stirred my loins
Those perfectly round buttocks
The swing of her hips
And the movement of her breasts
Charlie the beautiful young brunette
With the impossibly long legs
That could have encircled me
In our passionate embrace
She could so easily have been mine
But I stepped away
And I distanced myself from her beauty
Because she was half my age
And because I was not free
I did the right thing
But I still think of what might have been
ONLY YOU
Only you can occupy
That special place within my heart
You have been alone in there
Right from the very start
You will never be evicted
That would cause me great distress
For you will always be my love
The reason for my happiness
I GIVE TO YOU A ROSEBUD
I give to you a rosebud
Held twixt my finger tips
As a symbol of my love
That cannot be eclipsed
The purest, sweetest rose
As red as your sweet lips
THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS
While I sleep with eyes shut tight
I dream of a girl dressed all in white
This beautiful girl with an adoring smile
And eyes so green they bewitch and beguile
She stands before me this maiden fair
And runs her fingers through my hair
Then I feel the touch of her caress
And a single kiss of such tenderness
Then the beautiful maiden fair
Whispered 'I love you' in my ear
I was alone come the morning light
I hope I see the girl again tonight
ALWAYS AND FOREVER
Always and forever
My love for you will burn
And the one and only thing
For which I yearn
Is that you will notice me
And love me in return
JUST TO KNOW
Just to know each day
That you are here
To listen and love
And abate my fear
Just to know each day
That you really care
To share and laugh
And abate my despair
Just to know each day
That you are with me
To make each new day
A fresh treasured memory.
THEY SEEK IT HERE
You will find it here you will find it there
Some people like it but others don't care
Some will yearn for it in deep despair
But to find a true love is especially rare
I DRAW A CIRCLE
I draw a circle
As a symbol
To demonstrate my love
I do not start
To draw a heart
Because a heart can break
So I draw a circle
As a symbol
For a circle goes on forever
DREAMS
When I have dreams
Those dreams are of you
I tingle at the thought of them
Those dreams so blue
Each searing moment
Is burnt in my memory
I hope when I sleep tonight
I dream again of you and me
IF YOU WERE
If you were a kiss
You would be passion
If you were a dress
You’d be high fashion
If you were a pop song,
You would be number one
If you were an Olympian
You would be champion
If you were a star
You’d be the brightest
If you were a caress
You’d be the lightest
If you were a drink
You would be Moet
If you were a joke
You would be funny
If you were a flower
You would be exotic
If you were a dance
You would be erotic
If you were unmarried
You would be quite free
If you were so inclined
You could then marry me
YOU ARE MY ALPHABET GIRL
You are Cute with a capital C
And Gorgeous with a capital G
You are beautiful to me
You are my Beloved with a capital B
You are my Darling, with a capital D
You mean the entire world to me.
You are my alphabet girl you see
Every letter from A to Z
Loving you is as easy as ABC
I TELL YOU
I tell you that I love you
I tell you that I care
I tell you every day
Of the love that I declare
I tell you that I love you
I tell you every day
I tell you I am there for you
Each and every way
I tell you that I love you
I tell you that I’m sure
I tell you every day
But you’re so insecure
I tell you that I love you
I tell you that I care
I tell you every day
I’m not going anywhere
I tell you that I love you
I tell you I’m not that guy
I tell you every day
And then you start to cry
I tell you that I love you
I put my arms around you
I tell you every time
That my love for you is true
THEN AND ONLY THEN
I will drop a grain of sand into the desert
I will cry a teardrop into the ocean blue
I will blow a kiss into a hurricane
To prove my love, this is what I do
If you find that grain of sand, that teardrop
Or that kiss then that is when I’ll stop loving you
IN THE GAME OF LOVE
In the game of love you know all the right moves
With Terpsichorean precision, purposeful and bold
You are mistress of passion, keeper of my heart
If they awarded medals for love you’d get the gold
PEOPLE LOVE
People love each other in many different ways
Take love where they can find it, I would say
All kinds of love shared each and everyday
But the truest are those that can’t be taken away
SUNSETS
I watch the sunset and think of you
And picture you beneath that sun
Burning high in your sky
And I feel your presence
Though you are half a world away
And we are separated
By oceans and continents
Our hearts are connected
And soon we will be hand in hand
To share our sunsets
DAYS DOWN BY THE SEA
Days down by the sea
Far away from amusement arcades
Away from the pier
And noisy shopping parades
Just wide empty beaches
The salt sea breeze in my hair
What ever the weather
I really don’t care
Long languid days
Spent down by sea
Just a wet shaggy dog
My lady and me
IN AN INSTANT
One brief moment changed my life
When the love that emanated from you
Captured my heart in that instant
And in
Over thick black wool tights
And the not unattractive legs
Terminated into sensible shoes
I tried small talk
But she was not receptive
Her demeanor was positively frosty
Every enquiry she batted back to me in the negative
But despite everything
There was something about her that I liked
Something intangible
