Hands upon my shoulder
Clasp before you cry
Warmth flowing
Parting
A last goodbye
Hands around the waistline
Clench touch you try
Warmth flowing
Parting
A last goodbye
Hands stroke the neck nape
Massage nervous lobes you pry
Warmth flowing
Parting
Goodbye
Decorating cakes and winning medals
Elephants up the stairs push bike pedals
Crushing dust brushing up the pebbles
Footprints on hot coals as the devil levels
Expecting wakes thirst slaking revellers
Bedevilled brakes Turin meddles dwell
Your essence waved, my wafted air
I’d taken time and crafted, serenity to share
Then the blue sky turned to gold
Your effervescence duly staffed, my dreamy lair
I waited less than wandered, in incandescent prayer
Then the clouds, lined with silver, softly rolled
Your presence presents, a trembling bare
I’d opened, once again, this strange affair
Then the red moon rose, by the setting sun
Your lessons in love, lent in a gentle stare
I’d been carefree, lest care made me beware
Then the sky opened all the way to heaven
Your defence, immense at first, wavered there
I’d shown relentless perseverance, a scattered flare
Then you said take my hand our thighs to fondle
We wandered amongst the wonder stuff
We wondered, how we would share
Then the night turned, scared, into a dull grey day
Lavender swing and Russian vine
Boy it spreads like swine
That Prussian wine
Garden gate and summer fete
Boy isn’t England great
At that washing plate
Shower and brush, I’m coming up lush
Oh that teenage crush
Rash it up, listen for thong and thrush
Library books and surfers touch
Yes, that glitterati literati stuff
Ledbury’s found, all bound and butch
Jazz and soul and rock and roll
Dwell upon that digital ball
Soak up that frock, astride your cockle stall
Stir it up
Don’t stir it up
Again
Trip up
Tripped up
Once before
Slip cup
Slip of satin silk
Skip
Strap
Fond shoulder
Trap
