A love in verse

Joy That Survives

Why would I wish I were twenty years younger?

Was 1997 so great?

And even though it's getting late -

I'm 84 - I feel no hunger

To seek within the past refuge

With one proviso and it's huge:

You were there. Present content

In fact's a fraud and though I try

As best I can to just get by

And not to think my life is spent

It would be hopeless, save for the thought

Of all the joy your love has brought -

So great that joy that it survives

And hugely comforts many lives

And so my will to live revives.

Sonnet

Flowers and love songs are expected things

And verse like this (but better) when the talk

Concerns romantic love...

Scottish Theatres

I was to play Claudius the king

A National star the errant Dane,

Film star to be, and no plain Jane...
