I am an entertainment attorney heading a 9 person firm in Beverly Hills, CA. I am also the recording artist and songwriter, Trevor McShane, and my band plays out in the Southern California area. I've been regularly writing songs and poetry since 1993. I recently published a book of love poems, "What Took You So Long," reviewed by the prestigious Midwest Book Review as follows: "167 of these very special words and rhymes ... honor the magic and mystery of romantic love ... Each of these funny, sweet, quirky, and heartwarming poems were written in love, and about love. Don't be surprised about the impact they make, because love makes life worth living. / ... If you only have time in your life for just one book of poetry, or as a librarian if you only have the budget to add one more book of poetry to your collection, then make it (this) -- and you'll never regret it." / / I very much enjoy this site, which gets me away from the daily grind and introduces me to lots of cool verse.
I was born the day I met you
Since then, I’ve been living large
You connect the dots
It’s down the Loire on a barge
It’s an exotic bike crew
Well, a countryside somewhere cool
It’s a trip down to Amazon
We’re just sitting on the stool
Going fishing somewhere
With you as good company
It was the beginning of an endless journey
It’s the story of you and me
I can’t believe that I found you
And I’ll never let you go
Our future keeps on expanding
Sometimes we take it slow
But it’s the endless variation
Of your personality
It always keeps me laughing
And let’s me know what is real

Let’s form a coalition
You and me
Start our own political party
Vote repeatedly
Create a caucus
Filibuster when we need
Vote when we agree
Unanimously
I think we need a joint session of congress

I never thought I would find someone
Who would mean so much to me
I was in such a wretched state
A ship lost at sea
But a miracle happened
The remedy
You appeared and fell for me
Mr Solo became “we”
The years have passed
But we remain steadfast
Happy is our life
A happy man I am
Happy is the wife
I’m a lucky man
Yes, oh yes indeed
The best is yet to come
That’s our reality
I got her and she’s got me
That’s all we really need
Shout it, I do say
Enthusiastically

It’s a delicate balance
Affairs of the heart
You dive in
Hoping to start some permanency
You give it your best
Then it’s wait and see
Will she be the one?
Eventually?
You hope for the glow
That magical aura
The sun, will it show?
It’s a delicate balance
Good luck to your heart
Disappointment lurks
I’ve been there
Believe me
Stopping at start
When it was back to me
When Mary left
It took three years to heal
Then there was Dawn
Until she said “good night”
And took off with Paul
Don’t know why, I still gripe
Ah, the delicate balance
When it fails, there’s no salve for the wound
You don’t give up
Not without a fight
You keep your head up
On the alert for what’s right
For that moment of warmth
For that someone of worth
For a love that will work
For that delicate balance
For true love and romance
Yeah, the works

Indispensable
Exceptional
Inspirational
Oh my goodness
So much goodness
Surrounding me
She’s the one
My only one
She believes in me, in us
For eternity
So it is
So it goes
On and on and on
She and me in perpetuity
Gone, we’re just gone
Into the essence of triumphant love
A romance for all time
Goodness gracious sakes alive
So lucky she is mine

Tours d’amour
Love tricks
Emotionally bruised
In need of kissing chemistry
I may be out
But I’m not down
I tried, yes I did
But I’m just her jester
I now realize
There to amuse
Our romance contrived
Tours d’amour
Indeed
But I’ve gotten out alive
I’ve learned
Been burned
Earned battle stripes
Emerged scathed
But would do it again
For the chalice, the elixir
That is love
Where you give your heart
In search of nirvana
I know I will find it
I must dare
Notwithstanding tours d’amour
My true one waits for me

Let’s get lost in each other
Disappear into love
Hang out forever
Just hang on
I promise you a ride incredible
Life is an adventure
We’re the secret sauce
Since we found each other
Love’s the coup de grace
I promise you everything
All the best of me
Pleasure beyond measure
We’ll sail the seven seas
Weather all storms together
Brave through any hard times
All because we’ve found the magic
Allowing us to get lost
In each other for we are
Truly star-crossed

It’s hard for me to cry
Except in a movie theater
Thanks to the wall I’ve built
Chipping away at my soul
And this hole in my heart
You see, I’ve been hurt
She turned away
But I’m not going to let it affect me
No way
I’m stoic
No one will do this again
I’m done with love
I got me
That’s enough
Oh, they can try
But I’m tough
I don’t cry anymore
Unless it’s a movie

Brenda was sobbing in the produce aisle
Her marriage had evaporated
With twins in the second grade
She needed to get ahead
Could she be a romance writer?
Maybe she could
Maybe she would
She wrote early in the morning
And after the kids went to bed
As an adjunct professor
She kept the kids fed
Writing, dreaming of love
And being oh so lonely
She would not date on the internet
Because deception is real
She wrote of a handsome man
With a heart she could steal
That day at the supermart
Was the first of many more
For someone came to comfort her
Meet Henry, who managed the store
Tall, dark and handsome, he stopped
“Are you OK,” he said
He put his arm around her
Then whispered,
“Can I buy you a smoothie?”
Brenda said “Sure”
Now Henry had his own issue
His wife had died in an accident
He too was hurt
He was scared of love
But very kind
Still, he was hopeful
Though flying blind
She thereafter shopped daily
At The Old Farm Store
Henry was always there to greet her
To make sure she got the best discounts
As to her book, she self-published and it took off
The protagonists are based on Henry
And Brenda of course
Now they’re living the truth
Proof that love can rise up from sorrow
Even from a produce aisle
There’s hope in every tomorrow
Makes one smile
