Mo ‘n’ I
MO ‘n’ I
You’re seventy now
Who’d have thought it?
I recall our twenties
Here we are again
After all these years
Sharing an evening
Baring naked hearts
Across a gin or two
And a tear or two
Your conclusion
Too needy to share
Alone now and happy
My own conclusion
Can’t call myself happy
Contented feels more comfortable
My lengthy searching
Taught me call expectation
The mother of disappointment
We’ve given it all up
That bouncy folderol
Not born here to be loved
As you hear me out
Unchallenged or judged
As I you my dear one
Let’s do what’s next
Whether we like it or not
Each a poet with a spanner
A Gift From Heaven
A GIFT FROM HEAVEN
Walking
With loved ones
Or close friends
And talking
Sometimes you don’t
Need anything more
Beautiful surroundings
An added bonus
A gift from Heaven

Perhaps we’ll
Meet along the way
Share a loaf
Recount our
Adventures and disasters
Then go on our way

How’s it going then?
…..Early days yet.
I’m sure you’ll charm her into bed.
How’s it going then?
…..Hard to tell.
Well you’re a very complex woman.
She might just be frightened.
…..Do you think I can scare the pants off her?
That’s just a joke right?
How’s it going then?
…..Mixed messages all the time.
You’ll get there.
How’s it going then?
…..The more I see her I see how strange she is.
Definitely your kind of woman then.
To be continued …

For Brian and Terry
There can be
A special bonding
Woman to woman
Man to man
And of course
(Rubber stamped)
Man to woman
(Woman to man)
Deep and flowing
A glowing energy
With or without
The sex thing
There can be
A special bonding
Woman to woman
Man to man
Been there just today
Been here just today
Bathed in their warmth
Dissolving in gratitude
Gentle Reminder
GENTLE REMINDER
Should you not know
That you’re thought of
Remembered, loved
Wished well and beyond
Must’ve slipped your mind
Write it down on paper
Keep it to hand always
Reread it as need be
Relax in its warm embrace

I have here two much loved books
Originally purchased at second-hand shops
(being pretty short of money in my youth – 10p each!)
I have now replaced them both in better shape
So the earlier copies are surplus to requirement
While I have looked after them carefully
(You may remember from our years together
That I’m always careful with books, discs etc.)
They were a little careworn by previous owners
So I don’t think charity shops would be interested
The content beneath the slightly dilapidated surfaces though
Is too precious to be thoughtlessly assigned to the refuse bin just yet
I recognise you as a discerning reader
And wonder whether you might not
Offer them a temporary home, another reading
Even though it might be their last
In exchange I believe you may receive herein
Some fine entertainment
Some food for thought
Let me know if interested and
I’ll package and despatch them
