Love is that sweet
which dumb eats
Tastes and enjoys
But cannot say what it is.

Better If You Give Poison
But Never Give False Promise,
Better Kick Me With Disdain
But Never Give False Love.

Better Not To Hurry To See
Eye Into My Eye Dear Mate,
But Once We Are In Liaison
Better To Make Common Fate.

It was sweet innocence,
found in TV and films.
Oh, such simpleness.

In sheds, in the woods.
It was whimsical and fun.
Unspoiled by dark moods.

Countless nights in front of a screen.
Just as many mornings running late,
Building a foundation in-between.

Unknown to us both,
Life wouldn't be kind.
We still found growth.

Look at you now,
Gone from strength to strength,
As if having given a vow.

if this was fiction and not fact,
you would be my second act
and my first
and in our third,
I’d still be your little bird.
