The Blind Date

Only halfway

Through your story

And you’re already

Beginning to bore me

Sometime later

When your story ends

I know for sure

We’ll just be friends

12

Butterflies

I can’t wait

To see you next

And hear you

Say my name

To feel

Your touch

To say

Too much

And to fall in love

Again

Besotted

For getting me

To agree

You always seemed

To have the knack

But I’ve been moving on

All summer long

And now I know

I’ll never look back

“How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?”

I just thought

I’d call

He said

To check

That you’re ok

You are

So very kind

She said

To care for me

That way 

I’ll also ask

While I’m on

He said

If there’s anything

I can do?

I’m sure

I’ll be fine

She said

To me this

Is nothing new

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

2

Taking A Number

I actually believed it

When you said

“I love you”

But little

Did I realise

I was at the back

Of the queue

Saturday

It wasn’t written 

In the stars

Or foretold through 

Your wanky cards 

It was just by chance 

We met that day 

And I wouldn’t have had it 

Any other way

The Wrong Tree

It’s nice to see

How you are with me

Is in no way chauvinistic

But as for your chance

When it comes to romance

I wouldn’t be too optimistic

2

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

5

Never Again

On this, the day, for Valentine’s

I can’t help but feel

I’ve lost my mind

For there is no peace

That I can find

Now my heart is dead

And my eyes are blind

8

Craving

I held you once

In my arms

Yet you slipped

Right through

My fingers

Now my heart burns

For your return

As the touch

Of your hand

Lingers

Broken Promises

The fool and her heart

Were very soon parted

As he couldn’t finish

What he started

Unkept

You said

To me

You’d always

Be true

Yet it’s clear

That forever

Meant fuck all

To you

Now Made Of Stone

To think I was ever

This pathetic

Leaves me

Open mouthed

And aghast

It certainly took

Some toughening up

But at least now

That nonsense

Has passed

My Dark Heart

Although
my descent
into
madness

Has
torn
my soul
apart

Underneath
all of
this
sadness

I’m still
a romantic
at heart

‘At The Cemetery Gates’

It’s such a shame to see

He said

They just never stood a chance

It’s their own fucking fault

He said

For ever believing in romance

In Loving Memory

The girl you knew is gone

She said

Killed by love itself

You don’t need to tell me

He said

For I dug her grave myself

The Romance Of It All

No matter how

I try to improve

Or alter my behaviour

It seems I’m destined

To forever seek

The beauty in my failure

In Vain

Each
time
I try

I always
seem
to fail

Spectacularly

Fit For It

I don’t want a boy

She said

With romantic ideals

I need a man

With balls of steel

The Rescuer

We can
leave
together,

He
said,

I promise
I’ll look
after you.

When
will you
grow up,

She
said,

You poor
misguided
fool.

Flawed

You all make it look easy

So I thought I’d give it a go

But what you get on a plate

I can’t replicate

So at least now, I know

Undeserving

I’ll
never
fall
in love
again

Not
that
I ever
wanted
to be

Love is
for those
with
delicate
souls

And
not
for the
likes
of me

‘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

Disappointing The Kid Inside

I must’ve overdosed on Disney

Or read too many fairy tales

For endings like this

Don’t actually exist

As true love always fails

Sleeping Beauty

I wish I could sleep forever

As silly as that seems

For then we’d be together

Happy, in my dreams

‘I Made It Through The Wilderness…’

Your touch

Leaves me reeling

Your kisses

Make me swoon

It seems

That for now

From romance,

Somehow,

I am no longer

Immune

Carnal Knowledge

These
blissful
feelings
are all
consuming

Who knew
one kiss
would
be so
subsuming

How Times Change

I guess I was re-watching

One of those films from my youth

As I was reminded

That for romance now

I am too long in the tooth

It’s Way More Than 10…

It’s the little things

That I hate

And the big things too

In fact there isn’t anything

That I actually like about you

What Should Have Been

Twenty two years

Just me and you

Sitting on the sofa

With wine and food

But it’s not to be

As you’re three years gone

So any romance today

Just feels wrong

Last In Line

If you continue to push this

She said

And I am forced to choose

You really should be prepared

She said

For the fact I won’t pick you

8

Hope(less)

So it seems I have

A second chance

Another shot

At potential romance

Problem is

Where to start

How do I open

This Stygian heart

52

But

If only I could ask you,
But I never should.

If only I could show you,
But I never would.

If only you could tell me,
But you never should.

If only you could love me,
But you never would.

Theatrics

Of my love

For you

I’ve never been

More certain

It is time

To drop

The safety curtain

So with confidence

And fiery gusto

Let’s just get

On with our show

29

Quickstep

Run around

Jump up and down

There’s a new love in town!

He’s really neat

And ever so sweet

This black heart skips a beat

I think that now

I’m ready for more

I want him to whisk me

Across the dancefloor

19

The Over 40’s Club

Let’s both jump

Into this taxi

Please just take me home

And have me

I’m done waiting

Now is our time

Let’s grasp this moment

Whilst we’re in our prime

15

Treachery

This cannot be
What you want 

Surely 
It's a joke

For I am not
That kind of woman 

And you are not 
That bloke

Timerous Beasties

When

Too Late

You
only
want
me
now

Because
he
says
he
does

Well
you
had
your
chance

But
you
rebuffed
my
advance

So go
jump
in front
of a
bus

17

Fuck Buddies

I
won’t
always
be
here,
you
know

For
when
you
feel
the
need
to
ask

Not
while
there
are
more
dicks
to
blow

And
other
glows
in
which
to
bask

12

Road Trip

Shall
we
run
away

She
said

To
where
we can
both
be free?

You
don’t
have
to ask
me twice

He
said

I’ll
go fetch
the car
key

14

Temptress

We
really
shouldn’t
do this

She
said

If it’s
something
you’ll
regret

I won’t
know
until
we’re
done

He
said

And I
haven’t
started
yet

14

Making (Sh)It Up

Who
could
believe
we’d
get
this

That
we’d
ever
again
share
a kiss

That
both
our
hearts
a beat
would
miss

That
we’d be
together
bathed
in bliss

13

By Accident

And
just
like
that,

I
was
attracted.

Your
hand
warm
in
mine

Distracted
me
from
the
pain.

And
so I
fell in
love
with
you,

All
over
again.

Love’s Young Dream

Dance,
you
fools,
dance
away
from
me

I’ve
seen
all
the
romance
I need
to
see

I
know
only
too
well
how
this
shit
ends

Give
it a
year
and
you
won’t
even be
friends
