I dine out on love – all your fantastic foods 

Seduce the palate and outrage restraint

But grub is not the sum of all my goods

Of any part when you knit up the whole?

When eyelids’ opening finds a world of you

And closing, thoughts and dreams of my love too?


The flavour of your dishes thrills the beast!

And your own self make life itself a feast

Washing up, looking out onto our sunlit garden.

I long to see a cat move sleepily and pause

Leaves Hold Fast

You see the leaves that fall in autumn – 

Each one’s a dream that’s died

Of love, achievement, each a post mortem...
