The sofa
Roger Turner - Poet

You asked me for a late night drink
You worried just what I might think
I saw you hide the laundry by the sink
As I moved the cat to find the sofa
You said this wasn't really you
As you sat down kicking off your shoes
You said you asked me, what's there to lose
As you moved beside me on the sofa
A good girl, that was what you were
People say "oh no, not her"
I heard the cat again, really loudly purr
As we stretched out on the sofa
I knew that I should rise and leave
A tale like this, who would believe
They would think I was the one who did deceive
As we tumbled from the sofa
I remember how we spent that night
At first it was just stay or flight
I stayed and you know it turned out right
Sixteen years...upon that sofa
You worried just what I might think
I saw you hide the laundry by the sink
As I moved the cat to find the sofa
You said this wasn't really you
As you sat down kicking off your shoes
You said you asked me, what's there to lose
As you moved beside me on the sofa
A good girl, that was what you were
People say "oh no, not her"
I heard the cat again, really loudly purr
As we stretched out on the sofa
I knew that I should rise and leave
A tale like this, who would believe
They would think I was the one who did deceive
As we tumbled from the sofa
I remember how we spent that night
At first it was just stay or flight
I stayed and you know it turned out right
Sixteen years...upon that sofa

Bright smile,slim waist
Born in the west
Time spent with you is never a waste
It's always the best
For me,Loving you is a must,
You have a sofa in heart
Yes,the sofa is heart-based
You always make me feel blessed
Losing you,up,I'd have messed
Because loving you is a must
You make me feel blessed
My worries shrink with you by my side
Come baby,let's go for a ride
Hold my hand tight,let's run to the ride
Your feelings,from me,you don't need to hide
When you are feeling the lowest,call me,and I'll rush to your side
I'll literally fly
Because you don't need to cry
If you really have to,let me be by your side
For your tears,with my hands,am willing to dry
Because you have a sofa in my heart
Sofa in heart
When your worries seem to be weighing you down,
Inside of me,enter and take your refuge
For,you have a sofa in my heart
The sofa in my heart is a soft spot for you
Get inside there and pull the blanket over your head
Worry not my love,for I'll be here,
Be here when you awake
And I'll be ready to hand you a hot cup of coffee when you awake
Immerse yourself in a tank full of me
For you have a sofa in my heart
Within this space,there is no hurt
Take off your shoes,lie down and enjoy the breeze
For after here,there is going to be a lot of ease
For you are lying in your sofa in my heart
Born in the west
Time spent with you is never a waste
It's always the best
For me,Loving you is a must,
You have a sofa in heart
Yes,the sofa is heart-based
You always make me feel blessed
Losing you,up,I'd have messed
Because loving you is a must
You make me feel blessed
My worries shrink with you by my side
Come baby,let's go for a ride
Hold my hand tight,let's run to the ride
Your feelings,from me,you don't need to hide
When you are feeling the lowest,call me,and I'll rush to your side
I'll literally fly
Because you don't need to cry
If you really have to,let me be by your side
For your tears,with my hands,am willing to dry
Because you have a sofa in my heart

Be here when you awake
And I'll be ready to hand you a hot cup of coffee when you awake

A sofa

On a broken leather sofa
By the wall of a music hall
Trying not to be recognised
But failing.
On a dusty old sofa
Relaxed at a friend's gig
Given up on staying secret
Because I was failing.
On a simple brown sofa
Holding hands at a three band show
Her touch comforts, I want to say
But I keep failing.
On a tired too-low sofa
Too-loud music vibrates the floor
My head on her shoulder, wishing to tell her
But failing.
On an unfamiliar sofa
Feeling at home as music blares
Unashamed to be myself with her
Not failing
For once
I am not afraid
With her.
