IT ISN’T LOVE

 

It isn’t love, when you kiss all the time

Lust is what that is

The bits in between the kissing

Now that’s where the love is

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

ROSES ARE RED # 1

 

Roses are Red

But slightly cliché

So, I’ll just say

Happy Valentine’s Day

Uncanny Tales – (18) Lustful Intent In The Glens

 

It was a warm summer’s night in 1974 and Marilyn and I were in a tent together when all at once the flaps flew open, that would’ve been the tent flaps obviously and not hers.

“What’s going on in here?” the voice said through the opening

I was lying under my sleeping bag naked from the waist down and Marilyn was kneeling fully clothed, well almost, on an adjacent one.

The voice belonged to her father Ronald

“I might have known Cooper would be in his pit” he continued pompously

Her father was a pompous git of the first order and I had known him for quite a few years and we didn’t get on even before I started feeling up his daughter.

We were staying on a camp site in Perth and Kinross that was once a working railway station before it fell afoul of Dr Beeching and his cuts, in a place called Lochearnhead.

So that explains where we were, though not why we were alone together in a tent on a warm summer evening in Scotland.

We had been seeing each other for about 3 months and we had reached the point on that holiday where a kiss and a grope in the woods and a bit of fingering in the unisex toilets wasn’t enough for her and she wanted to go to the next level.

The reason we found ourselves in my tent was that Janice, the girl Marilyn shared with was entertaining a waiter from the local hotel in hers.

We had been planning the deed for about 3 days prior to that night as it was to be the first time for both of us.

But in the end, as first times go it was pretty rubbish, in fact even at the time I wasn’t even sure it qualified as a first time.

As I managed to get myself into a condom but I wasn’t entirely convinced that I got into her before the incident came to a premature end.

Which is why she was almost fully dressed by the time Ronald arrived.

“Get back to your own tent young lady” he said

“You’re so embarrassing Dad, Nothing happened” she responded which if I’m perfectly honest was the truth.

“I’ll deal with you later” Ronald said

“For God’s sake Dad, We didn’t do anything” Marilyn said, which was true enough though it wasn’t for the want of trying.

As they both walked off into the distance still arguing I thought she looked really horny especially as I knew she had her “Love is…” knickers stuffed in her pocket.

Unlike the young of today we were incredibly naïve about sex back then, we were so much less aware.

Fortunately, we were both virgins and Marilyn had no high expectations for the night, having no yardstick to measure it by.

So I got a second bite of the cherry so to speak which I took a couple of days later in the heathered hills of Glen Ogle and afterwards were left in no doubt whatsoever that we had had our first time.

KIWI GIRL

 

She was a tiny little thing

Barely five foot, Pint size

But larger than life

With huge grey eyes

 

Her first words were

I’m not an Aussie

I’m from New Zealand

And I’m a Kiwi

 

Christened Katherine

She preferred Kitty

At first glance

I thought she was pretty

 

Perhaps not beautiful

Well not obviously so

But certainly pretty

But not to the shallow

 

She was not compelled

By fashion or fad

In her cargo pants

And shirt of plaid

 

Her stocking feet

Made little sound

As on fairy steps

She flitted around

 

She had a delicious chuckle

Rich and fruity

When she laughed

Was when I saw beauty

 

A smile lit up her face

And her big eyes

Transformed her

From pupae to butterfly

 

Her laughing eyes

Glanced aside

And she was caught

Her look was spied

 

Her pale skin

As she blushed

Turns to crimson

And away she rushed

 

Though she dressed

Not to impress

She had a figure

Hidden, nonetheless

 

My eyes followed her

Though no others did

My pretty Kitty

This gorgeous Kiwi kid

 

Do you try to hide?

From the wicked world

The pretty girl inside

Oh lovely Kiwi girl

 

Because I already spied

The pretty girl inside

When first I looked

Into her big grey eyes

WHERE DO I BEGIN TO SAY?

 

Where do I begin to say?

Exactly what you mean to me

It would surely end my world

If you were to set me free

 

Where do I begin to say?

How happy it would make me

If I could find the perfect words

To express my feelings with clarity

 

When we are separated

I feel half a person, empty and incomplete

But when we are together

I am whole and I am replete

 

Where do I begin to say?

How blessed I am to have you in my life

As my lover, and best friend

My partner and my wife

SHE IS

 

She is embedded in my heart

I imagine her inside my head

I picture her in my life

Safely in my arms

Or sleeping in my bed

 

She is ingrained in my soul

I imagine us with a family

I picture our life together

Far off in the future

With cherished memories

 

She is woven through my fabric

She is at the very heart of me

I feel her hand in mine

And her kisses on my skin

Her scent is exotic and heady

 

Though she is in my every thought

And my dreams of her persist

I have to confess that

As much as I love her

She doesn’t know that I exist
