Your heart is an oasis,
A place of love,
Where Venus resides,
But she resides alone
As you will not let me
in

YOUR HEART IS AN OASIS
Monday, 16 January 2023
WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE
When you love someone
And you know that they
love you,
When they speak your
name
It no longer sounds
the same
WILL MY PLEA ABOVE
Will my plea above
To gladden and cheer
My ardent call for
love
Fall on deafened ear
Is there not but one
Who will hear my plea
And fill me with joy
Please, please hear me
Don’t leave me all
alone
Let me share my love
Please have mercy
Oh hear my plea above
Take heed of my plea
Just another soul to
love
Gentle and replete
And as precious as a
dove
TOO OBVIOUS FOR ME
Every morning, I watched you
As you got on the bus with graceful ease
You skirt just the wrong side of modest
Your blouse low cut to tease
I never knew your name
You were just the flirt in a skirt
My friend was obsessed by you
But although I could look at you with lust
You were not for me, not quite my cup of tea
I liked the quiet girl, two seats in front
Who got on and off the bus unnoticed
Except of course for me, I saw her
And I knew her name, and I married her
WHEN WILL I REACH THE MAIN EVENT?
When will I reach the main event?
I’m tired of dainty
canapés
I’ve had too many hors
d'oeuvres
They are getting on my
nerves
When will I reach the
Entrée?
When will I meet the
one I seek?
My life long dining
companion
THE LOSS OF LOVE
The loss of love you see
Isn’t due to
infidelity
It’s caused by over
familiarity
And excessive intimacy
For how can love
survive?
When before your eyes
Is the object of your
affection
Rubbing cream on some
infection
Or the person you are
dating
Is on the toilet
evacuating
THAT’S LOVE THAT IS
My big sister really loves me
I know this because,
you see
All her old clothes
she gives to me
But that’s not all,
I’ve just begun
Because when she is
all done
She has to go and buy
new ones
That’s love that is
I REMEMBER LINDA
I remember way back when,
And my first
schoolboys crush
When just to look at
Linda
Was like being hit
with a sugar rush
I remember when she
said
“I really like your
shirt by the way”
Well I was so in love
with her
That I wore that shirt
every day
MY MAN IS MY BEST FRIEND
My man is my best friend
He listens to me,
Enables me,
Reassures me,
Inspires me,
He makes me feel
special
He makes me feel sexy
He understands me
He is in touch with my
feelings
My man is my best
friend?
Is he bollocks
Gordon’s is my best
friend
Give me another gin
and tonic
ONLY SKIN DEEP
You are truly beautiful
But beauty is only skin deep
Isn’t that what they say?
Only skin deep?
But looking through my eyes
Who ever said those words
Would think that they
Now sound quite absurd
For to say of you
That beauty is just skin deep
Must stir the angels hearts
And make them weep
You are truly beautiful
To the core of your being
It’s not just your skin
That I am seeing
Your beauty emanates
From your soul,
Gracing every atom,
That makes the beautiful whole
From the marrow of your bones
It outwardly flows
So on your lustrous skin
Your beauty glows
BUT DON’T TELL ME
I know you want to end it
But don’t tell me at
the hotel
Don’t tell me at the
café
I know I won’t take it
well
Don’t tell me at the
restaurant
Don’t tell me by the
pool
Don’t tell me on the
beach
Don’t make me look a
fool
You can tell me in the
ocean
And realise all my
fears
Tell me as we swim in
the sea
Then you won’t see my
tears
WHEN DID IT HAPPEN?
When did it happen?
How did I not notice?
What distracted me?
Or have I been blind
Where did she go?
The awkward girl of yesterday
Where is that ungainly creature?
When did you become a woman?
Have I been blind all this time?
When did you bloom into woman hood?
When I looked away
You were an ugly duckling
When I looked back
A bird of paradise
When did you become so beautiful?
I KISSED A GIRL # 2
I kissed the girl
On an aeroplane
And on the airport bus
I kissed her once again
I kissed a girl
That I met in Spain
We met later that day
And we kissed again
I kissed the girl
With the long white train
And at the alter
I kissed her once again
I KISSED A GIRL # 1
I kissed a girl,
A very friendly sort
While I was staying
At a seaside resort
One kiss led to another
One kiss led to the other
And one kiss led to her
Becoming a mother
METICULOUSLY REHEARSED
I was prepared
I had it all planned out
Every word
Every gesture
Meticulously rehearsed
Till word perfect
I was prepared
For excitement
Unconfined joy
Tears of happiness
Words of love
And utter delight
I wasn’t prepared
For your reaction
Your unkind words
Your gestures
Tears of laughter
And utter rejection
IN THE CLOUDLESS NIGHT SKY
In the cloudless night sky
Each star clear
In the heavens
Sparkling like sequins
On a ball gown
Are you there?
In heavens firmament
Are you the bright star?
The one more beautiful
Than its neighbour
A thing of beauty
As you once were
At my side
SWEET LOVE SONG
Each word leaving
Your sweet lips
Is like a velvet caress
Your words are like poetry
Each syllable, honey coated
Every sentence
Dripping with nuance
The formed verses
Of loves refrain
All at once
Lightening my heart
And touching my soul
LONELY GIRL BY THE WINDOW
Lonely girl by the window
Looking out on the
world
As ever alone in her
room
By the window sits the
girl
She watches from the
window
As the world passes
her by
As always alone in her
room
She sits by the window
and cries
Lonely girl by the
window
Sits at the window and
dreams
And hopes that life
for her
Isn’t as despairing as
it seems
She watches from the
window
Wishing in her lonely
solitude
With all the hope in
her heart
That one day she will
be rescued
JUNE IN THE DUNES
On the longest day in June
The songsters croon
Beneath the summer
moon
But lovers play a
different tune
In the quiet of the
dune
Finds loves passions
strewn
Where lovers fondly
spoon
And Terry makes love
to June
He begs the morn not
to come to soon
She similarly begs him
to attune
