I say I will

I say I will

But I do not do

You say you won’t

Your do becomes my don’t

At the end of November

As the light turns to fade

I think of you

I am so staid

In my little room

With table-lamp lit

I write these love words

I hope they fit

Available at Amazon 

My open heart

My open heart

My open palm

Let it be

Your endless charm

In this land

Of make believe

You broke my heart

Yet I halfway conceive

That only time

And only tide

Restrict the feelings

Of that aeroplane ride

Available at Amazon 

You are not connected

You are not connected

Your words are not mine

But also I am not connected

And do not know

How to resurrect the past

Or how to strike out for a future

The more I see your choices

The more I feel

That I too must choose

Select for my own health

A varied kind of life

Which includes companionship

Here again with Berlin Blue

Here again in love with you

However long the breaks I take

Its all for you that I’m on the make

If love is love for old times sake

It’s all for you this lust I rake

Available at Amazon 

There is no fear in the future

There is no fear in the future

There is no future in the past

Fear lives only in the present

And for sure it cannot last

There is life in the living

There is living in the life

Life lives out in the present

Those are the hours of little strife

There is an explanation of the question

There is an answer waiting to be found

Hope is the hopeful suggestion

Where we go ourselves to ground

There is a world in the oyster

Thoughts turn to grains of sand

There is wisdom entering the cloister

As also with the shaking of the hand

Available at Amazon

Why be sad

Why be sad

When you know

Life has so many

Twists and turns

Go on, look out

At the sunlight

On the trees

As the wind breathes over the branches

Yes you can think back

To the hotel by the fairground

With a sauna

Frequented by young women

In this way

Levelling out happens

Mostly of its own accord

Although sometimes a little push helps
