OPEN YOUR EYES ANGEL

 

Open your eyes Angel

Wipe away the sleep

Be very careful

Don’t sell yourself cheap

Watch out angel

Whatever you do

He’ll break your heart

And make you blue

He’ll get what he wants

Then he’ll wave goodbye

Leaving you sullied

Leaving you to cry

He will have a place to go

For his next bit of frilly lace

Another silly girl

Just as easy to disgrace

Another notch on the bedpost

Another easy conquest

Leaving you alone

Broken hearted and bereft

PERFECT LOVE CAN BE ILLUSIVE

 

Perfect love can be illusive

For perfect love is unique

Perfect sex is not exclusive

For perfect sex is just technique

HOLIDAY ROMANCE

 

You wanted love

Sweet thing

A holiday romance

Not a brief fling

You wanted love

Romance and kisses

Holding hands

And making wishes

You sought a lover

In a romantic way

You should have known

At the end of the day

He sought a “gagging for it”

Nice easy lay

That was his idea

Of a romantic holiday

YOU SLIPPED THROUGH MY FINGERS

You slipped through my fingers

All those yesterdays ago,

How the regret still lingers

Of the way I let you go


THE FIRST REAL KISS

 

She leaned her face towards me

Slowly, yet purposefully

And touched my lips gently with hers

For just the merest moment

A single spinetingling moment

Then she stopped

And pulled her head away

Looking deep into my eyes

With a commanding gaze

Which demanded loudly

That I should reciprocate

I wrapped my arms around her waist

Pulling her close to me.

When our lips met this time

They parted on contact

And our tongues flicked

Vigourously exploring each others mouths

It was my first real kiss

And what a kiss it was

A toe curling

Nerve tingling

Sweet moment of bliss

GOLDEN HEADED MAIDEN FAIR

 

All I can do is stand and stare

At the golden headed maiden fair

The girl with the dazzling yellow hair

Oh beautiful maiden standing there

With tresses of dazzling yellow hair

Please be the answer to my prayer

I HAVE A PICTURE OF YOU

 

I have a picture of you,

In my wallet,

It’s a little the worse for wear

But I treasure it

I’m sure you’ll remember it

It was on the sea front

That last day I spent with you

I thought it was a happy day

You seemed happy too

I often study that little snap

Looking for any tell tale signs

But if they exist, they evade me

It doesn’t show in your eyes

There’s no hint in your smile

But still you left me

I STOP, I REMINISCE

 

I stop, I reminisce

That perfect time I miss

A smile, a look, a kiss

A moment of bliss

Sweet reminisce.

YOUR TENDER TOUCH

 

Your tender touch

Meant so much

I miss your touch

A touch too much

Your tender touch

That was nonesuch

OUR LOVE IS OLD

 

Our love is old,

Our love is true,

When we’re apart

Our hearts are blue

I love you madly

And you love me too

WHAT MORE BEAUTY

 

What more beauty could there be

Than in a maiden lithe of limb

With perfect elegance and grace

And a figure both sleek and trim

Beheld in the vision of a man

Who thinks she only has eyes for him

ODE TO MY BEAU

You hold back the night

With your gallantry

You subdue my fears

With your chivalry

You hold me in the light

With your passion for me

 

HOW FAIR BE YOUR COUNTENANCE

 

How fair be your countenance

A beauty fairer than the Rose?

How fair be your fragrance

Is it as pleasing to the nose?

How do you compare to the flower

Perhaps this year you are equals

But with each year passing

You will not match its sequels

RAVEN HEADED MAIDEN FAIR

 

All I can do is stand and stare

At the raven headed maiden fair

The girl with the flowing black hair

Oh beautiful maiden standing there

With tresses of flowing black hair

Please be the answer to my prayer

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE

 

The grass is always greener

And the senses were keener

So I committed a misdemeanour

 

And when away she flew

To her green pastures new

My foolish heart was torn in two

WE HAVE LIVED OUR LIVES TOGETHER

 

We have lived our lives together

And we have reached our Novembers

The once burning fires of our lives

Have been reduced to meagre embers

And yet we can still look forward

To us both sharing our Decembers 

MY STRAWBERRY BLONDE

 

My strawberry blonde

Always topped my list

With Alabaster skin,

Apple blossom kissed

Smooth and silken soft

Just as I had wished

But that was long ago

Now she is sadly missed

THE SLIGHTEST TWINKLE

 

The slightest twinkle

Was evident

In her shining eyes

The hint of a smile

Played about her lips

And her mouth

Went up at the corners

Almost unperceptively 

Her whole countenance

Held in that moment

On the brink

And as the words

Left my lips

The status quo

Was swept away

As the delight

Spread across her face

And my question

Was answered

In the affirmative

WHO’S STORY OF LOVE

 

Who’s story of love

Is written in the stars

Is it the Greeks of old?

Or could it be ours?   

I LOOK BACK FONDLY

 

I look back fondly

To those early days

When we would sit together

On the winter evenings

Beside the roaring fire

And we would sit and talk

Laughing and chatting

In the orange glow

Late into the evening

Until the embers cooled
