How we were
Tonight
Wasn’t
Quite right
In fact,
We were downright
Laughable
But when
A love affair
Is in the air
I guess no one is
Entirely rational
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
How we were
Tonight
Wasn’t
Quite right
In fact,
We were downright
Laughable
But when
A love affair
Is in the air
I guess no one is
Entirely rational
Early this morning
Whilst stood on the street
The plumpest wee robin
Landed at my feet
It looked like she’d managed
To escape her cage
And that she was ready
To face winter’s rage
Unfathomable Cruelty
Only I
know why
the caged
bird sings
It’s because
some bastard
clipped it’s
wings
Yet as the
tears rise
and the
anger stings
The bird
knows it’s
just one of
those things

Shower me
with your kisses
And I’ll
leave my
troubles behind
Show me what
my heart misses
And I’ll
be sure to
respond in kind
We really
shouldn’t
do this,
she said,
it’s not
the right
timeIt’s now
or never,
he said,
for I’ll
soon be
past my
prime
Not yet
but soon
she says,
as she makes her
way to the door
But when,
how soon
he asks
as he stares
at the floor
Not yet
but soon
she says,
as her head
is slowly bowed
But when,
how soon
he asks
will we
be allowed?
So it’s another birthday
And what a day it has been
If I’d have known last year
What I know now
I would have jacked it all in
But I suppose now it’s time
At this ripe old age
And much to my chagrin
To find a way of moving forward
And discover the strength within
‘It’s never too late to be what you might have been’
– George Eliot
