Love the Loss

I love the pain
I love the grief
I love the constant
Disbelief

I love to cry
You say goodbye
I wonder why
But love to cry

I love to smoke
Your words to choke
A heavenly soak
Without your poke

Some folk whinge
That makes me cringe
When love is gone
Don’t let it singe

Others mope
Or call the pope
Or worse they dangle
On the ring of rope

But for me, from afar
No door ajar
I love the loss, covered
In its sphagnum moss

Love the bucketfuls of tears
Love the wasted years

Of blown away
Memories

I love to lie
Of love deprived
I shall not die
Of loss contrived

In Defence of Past Mikado

It is an age of acceptance
Passed the time to mourn
Your defence of incommunicado
Set deep into the ring of thorns

You offer me no hope
So I will go
Nowhere else
Instead

You offer me no hope
For you
Our love is long gone
Dead

Think then of deliverance
The bull caught by the horn
Your defence of passed Mikado
The executioner enthroned, reborn

You offer me no hope
So I will go
Elsewhere
Or no

You offer me no hope
For you
I am from long ago
Or so

Dry

Butterfly
& dandelion
Wisp of sand
Land of Zion

Once ordinary folk

House martins
Homing pigeons
& sparrows parting
On telegraph wires

Can we please talk

Salmon leap
Passed rainbow trout
In sea and stream
They too weave in & out

What is there to talk about

Buttercups
Clovers, daisies
Soundproofed
Stone walls

Must we shout

Silk, velvet
Nylon vest
Negligee, slip
Land of Zion?

Give it a rest

Invite you somewhere sometime

You may no longer want me
Though that does not mean
I must not want you
I do still love you, scene-through

I have your letters
I have your photographs
I could carve you in marble
I could mould you in alabaster

I agree
You no longer want me
But might I not try
To change your too stringent view

I desire to write you letters

I urge to send you photographs
I dream of you; now & to the very last
Perhaps I could even try to be a little daft

I know you still mean no
That forever is your final vow
Forever you don’t want me
Still it is a risk I take, any old how

To remember anniversaries
& always post the cards first class
I will invite you somewhere sometime
& always there love you, my crazy sass

Natures Love (Show How)

Tend the flowerbed
By the butterfly
Wonder why
The ladybird wanders

A quiet afternoon - quite easily
Only you inside your own borders
At one with your earth orders
Toil away, enrich your soul

Meadow grass, poppy, daisy
Lazy daze on a hazy afternoon
In the place to swoon
Between dreams and slumber

The sun full on
Your warmth of skin
Massage slow, mellow in
Pour oil all over

Tend the humanity
Rest with all the above
Show how natures love
Creates patience
