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

 

SWEET HONEY BEE

 

Sweet Honey Bee

How we will miss you

And your honeyed words    

Well-crafted and poignant

Even finding humour

On your sad journey

 

Sweet Honey Bee

How we will miss your

Tireless support for others,

Less talented than you

Such as I, with your

Patient kind encouragement

 

Sweet Honey Bee

How we will miss you

Now the world is a sadder place

Without you in it

But the eternal meadow

Is now graced with another Honey Bee

LOVE ARRIVED LIKE A TEMPEST

 

Love arrived like a tempest

Sweeping him off his feet

Leaving him breathless

And trembling in its wake

But although the storm

Was a wind of change

Which altered him forever

It was not a breath of fresh air

Her love was toxic

She controlled like a terror

And even loves betrayal

Could not break the spell

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
