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.

Thanks for Bringing Me the Spring

Thank you for the daffodils 

Standing in their pewter vase

Pointing to heaven and the stars...

Cassie, Fifteen

Now you have made a great day.

As sleep draws curtains over Cassie’s mind

Sweet and lasting things are left behind...
