I took the late train from Euston to Glasgow Central
turned 21 at midnight as the train sped northward
never suspecting it was all a set up
I walked right on into it, and it took another 21 years
for me to finally realise it. A mule is never paid enough
considering the potential consequences. But admitting you were someone's fool is far easier a lesson than if I had been caught and convicted. Not withstanding any misery my cargo unleashed, on the streets of Scotland.

You tenderly carve, day and night
my heart with your chisel, sharp, incisive
as if it's a block of alabaster, at your disposal
chosen to create your one true masterpiece.
I believe in you,and submit, why? I can't really tell
Isn't it true love, that transcends limits of thought?

I let you do it as I can see  it pleases you the most,
after the moment your eyes had fallen on mine first
and stood still; I saw a divine  excitement on your face.

Is it pleasure or pain?I can't answer that question
I love you, and want you to do what pleases you the most.
My muse said, "Don't let her do this, she doesn't know
it's true worth, she'll ruin it in her, enthusiasm without limits"
I said in a whisper "I've hopelessly fallen in love, for ever"

I'd be your monument of whatever, success or failure,
I feel  the forces of nature that decide what it turns out, at last
and I listen to the sound of hammer on the chisel and patiently wait.

Wind slams the house in great big rushes
blows across memories of snuggled in against a tyrant.
The Three Little Pigs  being read to little children
sheltering from the huffing puffing hungry wild wolf.
