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”

The Wager

The best have loved the worst

Love’s no criterion

Of merit – that I am first...

To Allie

Dear sweet lover, wife, and friend,

I’ll love you with a love so fond...
