A love in verse

Present Imperfect

I hope that you will fall in love again 

With someone I will introduce you to

Don’t worry – you’ll have no cause to complain

Somebody different – nicer – someone new.

He wouldn’t have to hide away and write

Daft verses about what he should say plain

Nor cry about separation in the night – 

Such thoughts he wouldn’t even entertain.

I hope you meet him soon and your heart melts

On meeting: but, dear, here’s a catch you see;

This lovely fellow isn’t someone else

But just myself as I would like to be.

My love, it’s true you might have quite a wait. 

Be patient with your present, imperfect mate.

Last Day of the Month

The first day of the rest of our life 

For which with you the best summing up

Is pain, joy, love, a little strife...

Old Friends

Seagulls- you see them all your life

And hear them- that cacophony!

Far inland even on Parliament Hill
