Too much love

The ruby red vessel

The brandy glass curve

Lips and hips

Shaped without worry


This is a love story

Two lovers

Separated by

Too much love


The silken smile

A face formed classic

A gentle tear

Sense of vulnerability


Love stories endure

These lovers are lost

Lost

In too much love

Inside the cardboard box

Now that you have all that space

I guess that you will want to fill it

My new space is a much smaller place

But still with dreams I wish to instil it


Look back beyond the past

Inside the cardboard box

You that’s cast for life to last

Ploughed, furrowed, pulled by the ox


The photographs and late night notes

Advertisements for the theatre

Packed away, that was yesterday

How to explain, how did I mistreat her


That solemn vow, maybe now

Would be the time to ask

Momenta passed as slow time flashed

An untied knot of memories masked

Your love

Pictures for an exhibition

Rendered; grounds for inhibition

You posed on the velvet couch

You rose way beyond your stature


Angels and seraphims

Volcanoes and sips of gin

The brush stroke, the mind’s eye

Touch to torture, touch close to sky


Velvet drapes  and plumed-up capes

Forage, rummage

Eyeliner, lipstick emboss

He caught the colour of your cherubs

He caught a flash of thunderous youth


You felt the flush of courage

You smiled and asked him why

The answer fair perplexed you

Almost made you cry


The answer fair perplexed you

Just once he looked into your eye

Just once more, he said

Just once before I die

If and so

Introspect

With or without impunity

Neglect

It could be the ruin of me

Respect

The need for community

Your love

I’m searching for immunity


Deflect

Undertake no surety

Suspect

The cure for free

Detect

The waves at sea

Your love

I had that certainty


Perplexed

Thoughts endure you see

If I had a cigarette

I would be surer to be

One more narcotic step

One too far; dee de dee

Your love

Look what it’s done for me


Reflect

The durability

Sold or let but don’t forget

That is my mind's agility

Let’s then set

Free the fragility

Your love

Thankful for criticality

Over

Clouds

Scattered over


Seas

Washed over


Beds

Laid over


Stars

Reflected over


Skies

Covered over


Love falls over sands

Love sparkles over


Over moons

Engagements of love
