Misty, milky, windowpane,
I draw your face,
and write your name,
an upturned smile,
two eyes as dots,
it’s been a while,
I love you lots!

Secrets

I have a secret
that you’ll never know
I’ll take to my grave
when hell’s covered in snow
I’ll never tell
not even my friend
I’ll keep it with me
to the bitter end
I know you may ask
well what could it be
it may drive you mad
cat’s curiosity
I have a secret
that you’ll never know
I’ll take to my grave
when hell’s covered in snow

I was your kooky girl
you were my Clark Kent
we blazed a trail
through Eden’s Vale
everywhere we went
We rode into the sunset
like Godiva and John Wayne
you in your Vauxhall Corsa
no gallant knight on horse
I never saw you again

and in her hand she held a feather vajra,
at the core, a gentle beating heart,
around the heart, two eggshell lotus’s cupped,
intertwined like a mother’s hands.
Around a band of unicorns,
four magical, mystical, protectors,
and a vajra made of feathers.

Enough!
I exclaim.
I’ve had enough!
I take a house brick
and lob it into the still water,
causing the matrimonial boat to capsize.
I am forty seven and I’ve had enough.
I will pout and stamp my foot
and wait for the waves
of discontent to wash
against my shoes.
Once and for all
I have had
Enough!

The clock struck twelve
and you were gone.
No family home,
I had no Mum;
why did you leave
me on my own?
You should have known,
I should have gone.
The days went fast
and slow, time passed;
but I was with you
at the last.
I often grieve
for what should be;
arm in arm,
just you and me.

So what perchance
made you like her,
with rainbow shoes
and butterfly hair,
gold treacle voice
and moonbeam eyes;
was it a plan, or
happenstance?
