IMPRUDENT HEART
She fell in love Too easily Too deeply Too desperately Her heart was imprudent Indiscrete, Impulsive There was always another target Of her affections Some would deplore her Some would ignore her Some would use her Some would abuse her Her heart was always disrespected Always unappreciated Her love was always unwanted And always unrequited She just wanted to be happy But each time She strove for love It just got further away She gave her heart Too readily Too easily Too cheaply |  | |

TOO MUCH LOVE
He loves her he says And he says it often To elicit a reciprocation In case her feelings soften
And he does love her Too much though Than is really healthy Soon she will know
For stronger than his love Growing in intensity Smoulder the embers Of his bitter jealousy
She loves him in return And feels his love But has not yet felt The iron fist in the velvet glove

OUR NIGHT OF FIRSTS
I dreamt last night About our night of firsts I saw everything with such clarity Though it was many years ago All the sights and sounds The smells and of course touch It was such a special night Our night of firsts Our first date The first time we held hands As I walked you home Along the orchard lane And then of course Beneath the cherry tree Our first kiss On that late spring evening When the air was full of perfume And we heard the birdsong We gazed into each others eyes Then our lips touched And our fate was sealed For at that moment On our night of firsts We fell in love From that moment on And all the days of our lives Our love has lasted And though I am alone now And I can only kiss you in my dreams When my time comes We will meet again And walk hand in hand along the orchard lane And kiss once more Beneath the cherry tree

WANT
I want you every day In each and everyway With every breath I take I want to inhale you I want to consume you I want to undress you Slow and controlled I want to peel you Like a piece of fruit Whose consumption Is to be anticipated Each layer more reveling Exposing the sumptuous flesh Ripe in its perfection A sight to be savoured A delight to be relished I want to touch you Feel the warmth of you flesh Sense it tremble beneath my fingers Feel the beating of your heart Beneath your perfect skin Listen to your breath sounds Altering with each touch I want to caress the shape of you Touch the heat of your passion Feel your moistness I want you every day In each and everyway With every breath I take But to you I dont exist

MY
My skin yearns For your gentle touch That silken caress Of velvet joy
My body yearns For the warmth Of your tender embrace Enveloping me
My heart pleads For you presence To be replenished To be refilled
My lips beg To be softly kissed By petal pink mouth Of honey sweetness
My essence craves That other entity Which makes me whole My soul mate

SILK STOCKINGS
Silkily sheer From dainty ankle To lily white thigh
Silk stockings Needing to be touched Pleasing to the eye
Silk stockings Cool to the touch Hot to the eye
Silk delicately soft Contrasting my ardour These legs in silky guise
Smooth cool silk Temptingly tactile A feast for hand and eye
Silken stockings Sensual silk road That leads to paradise

LOTHARIO
Just let me gaze into your eyes His words did not disguise His unsubtle advances Of flirtatious talk and furtive glances But I fell victim to his charms And he held me in his arms But I held him in mine as well And then had him under my spell As I gazed into his eyes I had the lothario hypnotised
SWEETHEARTS
Put you trust in me my love I will never let you down my dear My darling, dry your tears My angel set aside your fears Our life together will be sublime Sweethearts till the end of time
GROWING OLD TOGETHER
Journey to our Autumn years In my loving company Let us age together like old port Or mature like a piece of Brie What joys the future holds If you spend your life with me A WORLD OF LOVE
When I walk with you Through the woods and hills Just you and I together The real world disappears Melts away like a dream In the cold light of day That you just cant quite remember We avoid the other walkers Such is our greed for each other That we jealously guard our company We are in love Though we speak of it reluctantly Lest we break the spell So we embrace together In our special world Cocooned from the real world By our close proximity Just you and I And that is all the world we need
FOR LOVES ADVENTURE
For loves adventure to begin With lifes journey to share in Requires only that our souls should meet And the circle then to be complete Then with that first sweet embrace There is nothing ahead we cannot face For love itself is not the prerequisite The prize is to keep and treasure it
BEAUTIFUL EYES
Beautiful eyes So clear and blue Big eyes, All the better to see you Eyes, the windows to the soul What do you see through?
Beautiful eyes Imperfection free Big eyes, All the better to see me What do you see? When you look through them at me
Beautiful eyes So honest, so sincere Big eyes, All the better to see clear Do they see me with love? Yes they see with love, my dear?
TAKE A CHANCE ON LOVE
I know its difficult to trust again When deceit is all youve known And lies are all you got to hear Dont let it turn your heart to stone
My love for you is boundless Though the intensity may alter There will be constancy My love for you will never falter
Please give me a chance Put an end to your distress Take a gamble one last time The jackpot is your happiness
TWO HEARTS
Two hearts wanting Standing on the sidelines Wanting to participate But fearing heartbreak
Too scared to trust Past wounds still raw The wanting so deep But the spirit to weak
Two hearts wanting Standing on the shoreline Wanting to take a swim But too fearful to dive in
Two hearts wanting Standing on the sidelines They will join in, in time Or theyll wither on the vine

CONCERNING SPURNING
Since that moment of your spurning How to live without you Im learning But as long as the world keeps turning And a boomerang keeps returning All the time the sun keeps on burning Thats how long Ill keep on yearning
OUR LOVE IS TOUGH
Our love is tough Our love is strong Made in England Apropos As strong as tungsten steel Its as hard as granite rock It wont melt away like the April snow Its made of sterner stuff The only thing that will break it Is if we let it go
DREAMING OF YOU
Walking alone on a bright summers day Im thinking of you though youre far away Wishing you were with me neath this sky of blue In my lovers daydream Im walking with you I dream of you every step and every stride Picturing you with me walking by my side Soon I wont have to dream to have you near me And my phantom lover will have to flee Your perfume will intoxicate me like wine Then I will really feel your hand in mine And then we can fall in love anew Until then I must keep dreaming of you
I COULD HAVE LIVED A LIFETIME
I could have lived a lifetime Sailing the seven seas One moment in the teeth of a gale Then becalmed for want of a breeze I could have charted new waters Or discovered exotic new lands Or battled cutthroat pirates With sword and pistol in my hands I could have lived a life of adventures Sleeping beneath the stars Lived by a strict code of honour While sporting my duelling scars All this and more I could have been If Id lived an adventurous life But in truth what greater adventure Than to lay in the arms of my wife
PRETTY ANGEL
How pretty she was A fact no one denies With the face of an angel And sympathetic eyes Her soft gentle mouth Its true nature it belies For beyond the facade She was the devil in disguise
How deceiving she was Behind the angels disguise Hidden beneath a mask Were calculating eyes Her soft gentle mouth Could speak only lies And beyond the façade Lay the angels demise
BETRAYAL
In your dark betrayal, you have destroyed Everything in my life that mattered What I thought was solid, is now gone Because of you our love was shattered Like a thousand mirrored fragments Each precious memory now scattered Reflects back all those moments of deceit My self respect left torn and tattered
LOOKING AFRESH
Looking afresh in the cold light of day All at once life isnt as dark as it appears When first you left me for another Leaving me alone after so many years I was deeply hurt, but now I realize Youre not worth the salt of my tears
THEIR FIRST TIME
Safe in the darkness Modesty abates, Inhibitions melt away, Mouths engage Tongues employ, Eager hands explore In clumsy groping Of eager young flesh. Clinging together, Writhing in unison, Moaning, panting, gasping The language of lust Fluently uttered, Peaking to imminent crescendo With uncontrollable desire, The throb and ache of want, For final urgent coupling In their gluttonous consumption To attain satisfaction
IN SEARCH OF LARA
From my familiar seat On the crowded bus, I thought I saw you today In the passing throng,
My spirits lifted My heart beat quickened. And like Dr Zhivago In search of Lara I beat against the cold glass. To attract attention
You turned toward me, And it wasnt you. I was mistaken. Through vision clouded by tears I had not seen you, How could it be you? For you are gone

JUNE
On that beautiful day in June The bells peeled out their tune And at that joyful sound he knew He would soon hear her say I do
Then before him a beautiful sight As she appeared in bridal white The hue of the pure white dove Dressed to symbolise her love
When they stood before the altar He spoke clear without a falter With a heart so strong and true He said aloud to the world I do
SLEEP ON IT
Last night I was sad Last night I was mad Last night I hated you Last night I berated you Last night I was crying Last night I was dying Last night I was unforgiving Last night I was tired of living
This morning Im glad Glad for what we once had This morning I have regret for you This morning I want to forget you This morning the tears I cried Have long since dried This morning I am forgiving This morning I am for living
SWEET TOOTH
I have a picture of you Which speaks to me, Speaks in sugary tones And syrupy words Of things I liked to hear When we were both young But my tastes have changed A sweet tooth no longer My palate more mature More sophisticated A little less exciting maybe But you cant be sixteen forever But I will always keep That picture of you Which speaks to me In sugary tones And syrupy words Just to remind me of the time When I had a sweet tooth
TIME IS A GREAT HEALER
Time is a great healer Thats what they said Thats what they told me After you were dead Banal words of wisdom And benevolent attitudes Empty words and gestures And worthless platitudes Only one thing Can ever take the pain away And youre not coming back No matter how hard I pray I just wish with all my heart We could have gone together And I would not feel so lonely And Id be with you forever
FOUR SEASONS
First love gave me springtime And invigorated my life It was summer in my heart When you became my wife Then in our autumn years You were taken from my side Now with my bitter loneliness Its in the winter that I reside
BREATH OF SPRING
She Entered Like a breath of spring And her presence Altered everything She walked in With such a delicate air Heads turned To watch the maiden fair She then returned From whence she came But didnt leave us Quite the same We hoped to see again That breath of spring Whose presence Altered everything
IN SUNSHINE OR IN SHADOW
In sunshine or in shadow Your love sets me aglow In perfect calm or raging storm Your love keeps me warm In times of drought or flood Your passion warms my blood In summer bright or winter dark You are always in my heart
NOTHING LASTS FOREVER
Nothing lasts forever Nothing is that durable Nothing is built to stand the test of time No matter how sound the foundation It will fall apart
Love is among the list of shoddy structures Love doesnt last forever Even though we wish it would And we can make the case why it should And list the justification Because I need you I feel so lost without you I don't want to be alone No one is listening There is no ombudsman To hear your grievance and arbitrate You have loved and lost
But knowing it wont last forever Doesnt soften the blow When it comes to an end It still hurts like hell And the pain seems to last forever
DREAM LOVER?
Was our secret love as special as it seems Or were our liaisons only in my dreams Am I remembering those nights clearly When your heart beat only for me And we satisfied all of our passions In all their varied forms and fashions Could it be our exertions were a fallacy? Our sexual gymnastics just a fantasy Were those sensual hours spent with you? Or just an imagined lovers rendezvous
ON LIFES GREAT JOURNEY
On lifes great journey When sweet love crosses your path Seize it with great urgency Capture it and keep it safe Do not let it loose from your grasp Lest it slip through your fingers, and be gone Hold it tightly Cherish it, nurture it, and watch it grow Until it wraps itself about you Like a great loving cloak Protecting you from the world Making you invincible And you will know true happiness But when on your life long expedition And sweet love crosses your path Ignore it at your peril For who can say When it might pass your way again

IF EVER TWO SOULS
If ever two souls could become one entity Then that pair would be you and I And no woman would ever be more loved that you If ever one entity were made from we two
I WILL BE AS THE GRANITE ROCK
I will be as the granite rock In your times of sorrow I will be the joy in all your yesterdays And again in your tomorrows I will love you forever Until the poets run out of rhyme Or the sun no longer shines I will love you till the end of time
I AM NO SUPERMAN
I am no superman No man of steel, I am not super human Not endowed with special powers
I have no heart of stone Nor feet of clay I am human Prick my finger, see me bleed
I am no angel Nor am I devil I am not inhuman Not devoid of emotion
I am just a man Ordinary, average Unremarkable With hopes and dreams Plans and aspirations And a heart to give When I meet her
WHERE DO I BEGIN TO SAY?
Where do I begin to say? Exactly what you mean to me It would surely end my world If you were to set me free
Where do I begin to say? How happy it would make me If I could find the perfect words To express my feelings with clarity
When we are separated I feel half a person, empty and incomplete But when we are together I am whole and I am replete
Where do I begin to say? How blessed I am to have you in my life As my lover, and best friend My partner and my wife
SHE IS
She is embedded in my heart I imagine her inside my head I picture her in my life Safely in my arms Or sleeping in my bed
She is ingrained in my soul I imagine us with a family I picture our life together Far off in the future With cherished memories
She is woven through my fabric She is at the very heart of me I feel her hand in mine And her kisses on my skin Her scent is exotic and heady
Though she is in my every thought And my dreams of her persist I have to confess that As much as I love her She doesnt know that I exist
BUTTERFLY GIRL
We stood on a hill top high With the golden sun up in the sky We bathed in each others company And the time passed idly by
Below us stood the village mill Wheel turned by the silver water While on the hill a young man stood Kissing the Millers daughter
And as we stood upon that hill Beneath that glorious summer sun My heart was lost to her forever But for the girl it was only fun
So there would be no love affair No reciprocation of desire She was just a pretty butterfly Flitting from flower to flower
I DONT WANT
I dont want silk lingerie Or delicate hand made lace I dont want designer frocks Or makeup for my face I dont want French perfume Or expensive jewelry I dont want a penthouse flat With luxurious foolery I dont want foreign holidays Or bouquets of every hue I dont even want a sports car I just want a man thats true

I THOUGHT MY HEART WAS BROKEN
I thought my heart was broken On the day she said goodbye I loved her so much I loved her too much All my friends said Youre better off without her Plenty more fish in the sea But I wasnt so sure
I thought my heart was broken But in the end I was mistaken Though I felt pain I dont want to feel again My friends were right I was better off without her And there were more fish in the sea Of that I was assured
I thought my heart was broken On the day she said goodbye But it was not you see And if she had not left me Then my friends, the matchmakers Would not have trawled the seas And found the perfect girl for me My future is now secured

THOSE EYES
Those eyes, those eyes Of saucer size Those eyes, those eyes That hypnotize
Those eyes, those eyes So worldly wise Those eyes, those eyes That bring me sighs
Those eyes, those eyes Cause of my demise Those eyes, those eyes Im lost, so no surprise
EVERY DREAM IVE DREAMED
Every dream Ive dreamed Was because of you Every wish Ive wished You have made come true You read me like a book And you are written on every page Everything I've longed for Is rolled up in one package You came to me like a gift Delivered out of the blue And the greatest gift of all Is being loved by you
THANK YOU ELIZABETH
How do I love thee? Was Ms Brownings question Let me count the ways. Was her suggestion But how to begin That list of criteria Or to select one phrase To serve as a Panacea Her answer was perfection The perfection such as I desire I love you as deep and wide And as high as my soul can aspire
IMMEASURABLE
Since that first day long ago When first I saw my angel We have laboured hard at love And we have both built well We have forged this love Which we will forever know It will never melt away Like the thawing of the snow But how is it measured? How do we quantify? We feel it and that is proof enough The love shared by you and I
MORE THAN ALL THE RICHES
More than all the riches of the earth Or all the treasure of the deep More than ingots from the vaults Or jewels in the Castles keep Neither polished gem nor cultured pearl Could be held to be in compare To the priceless nature of our love That you and I both share

THE L WORD
Often inappropriately used The word love is everywhere Forced into every utterance Used almost like a panacea Some who find themselves in love Use the L word to death As if underlining their insecurities It is uttered with every breath Though while some use it liberally Some have an aversion to saying it But whichever camp you fit in If you have to say it - mean it
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
How great is the feeling Of love, love, love Brought on the wings Of a snow white dove Sent by the angels Who dwell high above A love so perfect It fits me like a glove My life was so empty Of love, love, love But to keep my life full You are the solution thereof
IF YOU WERE A STAR
If you were a star youd be the brightest If you were a mood youd be the lightest If you were a pop song youd be number one If you were the weather youd be the sun If you were a drink youd be bucks fizz You are the best you are the bizz
YOU ARE
You are the oasis in my desert You are the sun in my sky You are the cherry on my cake You are the cream on my pie You make us into we Instead of you and I

WE HAD IT ALL
It was here, in our grasp We could see it, feel it, touch it Something steadfast and solid Reassuring and comforting A constant, a given Something infinite and immeasurable
We had it all in our hands A living breathing thing That we gave life Our own creation, our new entity But we let it escape from our grasp Slowly slipping through our fingers Though we tried to recapture it It was illusive, like trying to net smoke It evaded our efforts
So now it's gone and nothing remains, Of that entity that was us Nothing tangible, nothing physical Only memories remain

RING IN THE WINDOW
In the window he saw the ring The perfect one, a beautiful thing The most perfect symbol for her At its centre a Ceylon sapphire A gem to beguile and hypnotise And match the beauty of her eyes Then to compliment its glow Around it sits a diamond halo Light playing on its heavenly guise Like the sparkling of her eyes All set in a stylist platinum band Which he could picture on her hand And pictured himself on one knee So he could say please marry me

LOVE HAIKU # 1
Under skies of grey, or beneath a sky of blue, I would love you still
LOVE HAIKU # 2
Should the clouds obscure, the glorious stars at night, I will still love you
LOVE HAIKU # 3
Wondrous chemistry, electricity crackling, when boy meets a girl
LOVE HAIKU # 4
The science of love, physics meets biology, when boy meets a girl
