A Shot In The Dark

Do you think

We connected

Because we’re

Both damaged

Inside

That,

Perhaps,

We only found

Each other

As we had

Nowhere left

To hide

The Holiday Romance

You’d better

Get them off

She said

Come on now

Don’t be shy

It won’t be long

Until the end of the song

And we’ll both

Be saying goodbye

Clear From The Off

Love’s young dream 

This is not 

Nor is it

A fairy tale

It’s a bunk up,

Of sorts,

Fuelled by lust,

Of course,

Along with a few yards of ale

That Wins Me Over

There’s no need

For anything fancy

Or to reinvent

The wheel

Because it won’t be

What you say to me

But how

You make me feel

Needs

We may never be

The perfect match

Yet you are an itch

I just love to scratch

I Won’t Be Back

Although

We’ve spent

The night

Together

We’ll forever be

Apart

For your body

May well

Have given

Me pleasure

But you’ll

Never have

My heart

Gazing

With those beautiful eyes

And winning smile

It should be no surprise

We’ll be here a while

Greener Grass

Absence doesn’t make
The heart grow fonder

We just start to yearn
For what’s over yonder

And so we’re presented
With a question to ponder

Exactly which opportunity
Should we squander?

Short Changed

You do not need

To put me first

And I would never ask you to

But it would be nice

If, once or twice,

You thought of someone

Other than you

The Run-Through

Skin like milk
Lips cherry red
Your outline etched
Inside my head

Making no sound
Thinking only instead
Of when we’ll fall
Into your bed

All This For Nothing

When I asked how long

You’d wait for me

“Until the end of the world”

You said

Yet it only took seconds

When her lips beckoned

For you to fuck her

Instead

Having My Way

I can try

To distract myself

Go to bed

And turn off the light

But I know full well

There’s no chance in hell

I won’t be calling him

Tonight


‘You Spin Me (Right Round)’

With
your
smile so
appealing

And
your
humility
endearing

I cannot
help
but get
feeling

You
won’t
be
home
alone

This
evening

Happy To Oblige, M’lady

There’s no need to instruct me

I have no inclination to wait

Now that I know you trust me

On your pleasure I will fixate


A Bit Of Rough

Throw me onto the bed

Dear boy

Your body on mine impose

For a meeting of minds

Is not required

Let alone

An entwinement of souls

Hush

What we did in that room

Despite our gloom

Certainly served its purpose

Now all those things we said

Lying in that bed

Need never again resurface


Unobtainable

Maybe one day we’ll meet again

And maybe one day we won’t

But one things for sure

It won’t be for much more

Than either of us had hoped

Needs Must

My heart

May well

Be locked

Away

But my body

Is not

So come on

Over

If you like

And let’s see

What

You’ve got


Tough Shit

You can
try it on
all you
like

But
we can
never be
together

For my
heart
belongs
to another

And it
will stay
that way
forever

Faking It

Please don’t think,

Darling boy,

That you’re special

In any way

As you were not

The only one

Who saw to me

That day


Sinderella

Is that
really
the time,
he said,
I should
grab my
things
and leave

Well don’t
let me
keep you,
she said,
as I’ve
got others
to please

Saviours Take Many Forms

I cannot imagine

I meant the Jesus

In the title of this piece

As it’s far more likely

To be a Jesús

Who’d make me go weak at the knees


Christ On A Bike

It
truly
is a
wonder

To see
such a
glorious
sight

My
heart
beats
like
thunder

As my
body
sings
with
delight

Chance Would Be A Fine Thing

I sound like such a strumpet

In some of these lines I write

But I can promise you

The actual truth

Is that I am alone most nights


Rolling In The Hay

Looking
up at
you

Looking
down
at me

I know
this is
where

We’re
supposed
to be

‘Right Here Right Now’

It’s funny how

To bookish types

I certainly was once attracted

Whereas now I’m older

I’ve no time for the smoulder

And need something far less protracted


Timerous Beasties

When
I picture
my
youth

I see
you
and
me

Sitting
beneath
that old
oak tree

You
reading
a book

My
head
on your
shoulder

Both
of us
hoping

The
other
is
bolder

A Sucker For A Drummer

I cannot deny

That there are times

When I imagine the singer in the sack

But mostly the guy

Who really catches my eye

Is the one with the sticks at the back


‘Outlandos d’Amour’

As my
soul
swoons
to his
song

And my
toes
tap to
his
tunes

I
remember
the
romantic
revelry

Of
those
academic
afternoons

A Younger Model

Will you still love me

When I am old and grey

Will you still want me

To touch you in that way

Will you still need me

To kiss you goodbye each day

Or will you just find someone else

And simply walk away


A Risky Business

We really
shouldn’t
do this,
she said,
it isn’t
the right
time

It’s now
or never,
he said,
for I’ll
soon be
past my
prime
