Shyly you bowed your sweet head
I brushed the hair from your eyes
In those moments we had left
I had lost you that was clear
Someone else now held you dear
It's over, I was bereft
I took your hand one last time
Traced my fingers on your palm
You heaved a sigh of regret
Then told me whispering low
Your parents had found a beau
We should not have even met
Your sad tears now wet your cheek
I kissed your so sweet red lips
And breathed you in one last time
I too cried myself to sleep
A pillow I held up close
Woke alone to hear bells chime

What words to say I love you
My feelings to express
How can I write a poem
So I can look my best?
You are like the morning stars
Sweet crystals in the sky
Making my words have power
My head on your sweet breast
The syntax of my phrases
And grammar wisely used
Surely you'll see my value
Place me ahead of the rest
These metaphors I can use
I'm burning with such lust
To kiss your creamy skin
But will they pass the test?
If we're both to profit here
Balance we surely must
Forming such opinions
Before we have both caressed

My eyes saw her, foolish senses
Always leading me astray
My heart beats faster now
Checking out the good bits
Which we used to say as boys
Childhood innocence now long gone
Swings and roundabouts laughing on
Puff! Its all gone up in smoke
Our temples sweat at the sight
Now that sweet miss eggs me on
Life's is just like a long race track
First uphill then on the flat
Our words leak all awkward like
Then smoothly as life we grasp
But all's now gone just like that

The road less travelled
Always is the one for me
From crowds I will flee
Birds song, sun beams down
You'll see much more day and night
Slow pace is just right
Tractors plow the fields
Grapepickers wave as you pass
Catlle munching grass
Relax on you way
Just why pick the faster route
It does not compute

I watched you at the bench unheeded
Surrounded by the things you needed
Flour, sugar, dried fruit and more
A mixing bowl and wooden spoon
A cookbook opened on the bench
Glace cherries and mixed peel
Nutmeg, spices whatever next?
Then you called out "Rob by the way
I used your brandy is that OK?
The fruit had to be soaked last night"
I must confess my heart did fall
One wisp of hair flicked from her face
That tress made it alright with me
She's so pretty I could not be vexed
Soon the cake was in the oven
My ideas were interwoven
She glanced at me and saw my look
"About four hours" she said to me
"I'll put my feet up and read a book
Come with me, if that's what you want"
I knew that smile, plain as a text

Mischievous fairies are a worry
As they dance and skip in a flurry
Watch them closely as they nod and wink
Who knows what they do or what they think
Obedience is not a trait of theirs
As they dance around skipping over hares
but when I'm there watching in the wood
I know it's hard for them to be good
They sprinkle me with their fairy dust
I have for many years held their trust
Raven calls me when it's safe to come
I stay all night then they whisk me home

I am frightened
That I will never see you again
I am so scared
That I won't hear you whisper those words
That you love me"
"But you shall"
"I am worried
That I won't feel you touch my skin
I am concerned
That you'll be gone when I wake from sleep
I adore you
"So do I"
"Fear not my love
I shall be with you evermore
I hear your voice
Your words thrill me to my fingertips
You are my all"
"We are one"
