A love in verse

Time and Years and Dreams

What a long long way I’ve come

- Time and wood and stars - 

But way back things began to hum

- Skies and trees and wars - 

Two decades past, things looking black

Found myself on the right track

Glad I never once looked back

 - Earth and birds and scars -


Saw you sitting by the road

- Sea and bread and tears - 

We each had a heavy load

- Homes and grass and stairs - 

Guess my heavy care was me

Yours was you, now we could see

Light for you and I were we

- Wine and games and years - 


Now no weight can put us down

- Bricks and birth and streams - 

Though fate sometimes seems to clown

- Cats and stone and schemes - 

A little dance along the way

Or a wee bit tired and grey

But more and more in love each day

- Touch and kids and dreams –

The World Must Yield

You say back to me, at the window, 

Fruitlessly breathing out the fag

Whose smoke blew back into the room...

“I Love Alison”

Darkness has won - though street-lamps soldier on 

Still overall oblivion’s in the sky

Thick and ruthless enemy of the eye...
