YOUR HEART IS AN OASIS

 

Your heart is an oasis,

A place of love,

Where Venus resides,

But she resides alone

As you will not let me in

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
