Dark and White

The word I chose is neat
Petite yet swell
It tells me I've told you
The rest can go to hell

We take our chances with love

Back into the warmth
Or did the warmth come from the book
Early on, an easy understanding
Of the many levels of consciousness
Given to me through Jung's interpretation
Of his early 1930's dream

My arm is warm
The thin pullover clings ever so lightly
These are the paths my mind now wanders along
The slightest of touches, the merest of movements
Invoking memories of a gentle love
A love even more gently imagined

A memory so easily painted
With soft lights and warm colours
A time past that lives fleetingly as a time present
An energy that reminds me
That the warmth did not come from the book
The warmth came from within me

A within that has loved and lost, and loves again
A warmth that reminds me that the loss of love
Is not love lost, but a love that floats
A love that waits to be rediscovered
Whenever your warmth calls by

Valuables

Ribbed sleeve ends
Bring a structure to proceedings
Provide a firmer bond
To the softer pullover
Here now pull yourself together
What sort of friend
Would a lover make anyway

Home Service

Ever so, my mother
With her love of letters
Contentment that creeps
As lead on typeface setters
Footsteps in pleasant places
Ragged trousers, wind in sail

One Crow to a Tree

One crow to a tree
It's not easy living with you
It's not easy living with me
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
It's heaven just seeing you
It's heaven you just seeing me
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
The ache of not being with you
The ache of not being with me
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
The impossibility of freeing you
The impossibility of freeing me
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
The end, the end of me and you
The end, the end of you and me
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
The thought of hearing from you
The thought of hearing from me
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
The idea of him near to you
The idea of him near to me
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
The tearful fear of fearing you
The tearful fear of fearing me
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
The closure of the dream of me and you
The closure of the dream of you and me
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree

One crow to a tree
One crow to a tree
