I suppress the sunshine, she says
And bring her nothing
but rain
Now I’m begging her
not to leave
But I know that it is
in vain
And I know that if I
let her go,
Although that would
ease her pain,
I am full of fear of saying
goodbye

SHE’S LEAVING
A FIRST KISS
A first kiss,
Nervous, anxious,
When tentative
And hesitant lips
Lacking confidence
Needing conviction
Miss their mark
And teeth collide
WHEN DID THE LOVE DIE
When did the love die?
At what moment did it
turn
It was that, once too
often,
Hint of ardours odour
upon her
The smell of another
man
On her clothes, her
skin, her hair,
That made him snap
Making him lose
control
And strike her down
Snuffing out the life
Of his unfaithful wife
EVERYTHING BUT A POSSESSION TO ME
My partner and lover
My significant other
My best friend and gal
My confidante and pal
The love of my life
Happily, you’re my wife

THE “LOVE” WORD
Love,
Is just a word
Such a small word
Often misused
A throw away word
Used as a panacea
To paper over the cracks
Tell someone “I love you”
And everything is expected
To be forgiven
But love
Is too small a word
For what I feel
Far too small
For what I want to express
As the love I feel
Is immeasurable, infinite
In its depth, its quality
It’s all encompassing nature
It colours everything
All I say, all I do
Yet to express my feelings
All I can say is
“I love you”
It’s just so inadequate.
For what I want to express
My need for you
Of never being parted
from you
To be joined forever
In every way
But I don’t have the word
To articulate it
I don’t have the vocabulary
I just have
Love
