A love in verse

The Theatre of Life

1999-10-30
Performed by
Pip Swallow

Elliot and Amanda 

Once long ago

We nearly played them

They said “no”


Ayckbourn instead, love,

Not quite the same

I the great lover,

You the old flame


We would have wowed them

We’d have been grand

But still such lovers

Still hand-in-hand


Moonlight is silver

Sunlight is gold

Glad you still love me

Now we are old. 


It’s not that good but it means so much to Allie and me – PG 27/09/17

Calm

We fall out sometimes 

And make up and kiss

I put it in rhymes...

A Muse

‘What to do’ and ‘How to live’

And ‘Consciousness – the reason?’

Recurred each thinking season...
