A love in verse

Not Perfect

Though your sweet voice frightens the cat

I cannot have enough of that

Stentorian snores disturbing air

I love – cos it means you are there. 

Asleep after the very first clue – 

I say “sweet dreams dear – I love you”

And glasses lost ten times today?

There’s mine to borrow anyway

The wine stock drastically reduced?

Still by your eyes I am seduced

Though (unlike me) you’re not perfection

You’re kind and give me an erection!

I’ll Be Around

Soon the winding counties will 

Be lost behind me, motorways

And bending roads, the shopping malls...

Our Girls Come to Gillingham

The thoughts that scourge me in the night

Cannot defer the living skies

Of dawn and morning’s hopeful light...
