A love in verse

Waterloo to Brentford

Waterloo to Brentford and back 

To an horizon of writhing track

Rain on blue trains laying dust

Falls from a sky of grey and black 

And on the just and the unjust

I’m mixed of both but, love, are you? 

I can’t believe  that to be true.


You’re only just. Oh, let me prize

(Just right, just perfect, just ideal – 

Just perfect blue, just ideal eyes)

With lovely Allie a brief meal

For which I’ve rushed from Waterloo

(Just to spend some time with you)


Come to deliver a flying kiss.

Just an hour at home – so what?

Though travelling’s long, to know the bliss

Of Allie by me’s my best shot.

Just a kiss, two, three or seven

Just to be with her’s just heaven.

Heaven

I strode home through the rec

A fine wintry evening, one star alight

And a lonely plane, in the dimmed blue sky...

Cass at the piano

On either side – we all look round 

Towards the camera...
