A love in verse

Another Light

If I don’t find you in the rain

I’ll send the rain back up again

The moisture of your mouth is better


Sky? There must be finer blue

To look upon, a lovelier hue:

Your eyes – the sky’s your debtor


And when the birds sing their dull song

I’ll shoo them off, say “No, you’re wrong – 

Her notes are like a sinfonietta”


And when the sun sends feeble rays

I’ll say “another lights my days – 

You’re boring since I met her”

Do Not Regret

Why should one so good and fair

From the world’s store find delight

With a sixty-year-old man?...

Ever Young

I’ve never thought of you as less than young

Though things concern you – imagined lines, maybe

White veins among your hair’s dark ore...
