The ways of love

A little world, a new world,love invents

With a warm embrace we pay the rent

The work is easy when we start to pay.

Our little world gets bigger day by day.

The central heating is the warmth of life.

Yet when we’re betrayed we feel the knife.

Why does rage and helplessness cause grief?

If my love is stolen, who’s the thief?

The excitement of the new, romantic love.

Is this real like heaven up above?

It seems that marriage takes such work to grow

Even little problems make us foes

Remember Toby and his little boy.

The Cancer took his life when Fred was four.

His wife was bearing him another child

Jack was yet unborn, when Toby died.

I saw Jack dancing with his brother Fred.

We are each other’s family, Alice said.

Three seems more significant than two.

Thank you Toby for the love we knew

At the schoolgate pregnant Alice stood

No other mother spoke, yet she made good.

The chosen words invented as we loved

Those little words invented as we loved
Now have no other speaker but myself.
Lost, unique, the man so well beloved,
Those little words sprang from our fierce, sweet love-
In my own speech, these words no longer live
I cannot use our words, that loving wealth.
The chosen words invented as we loved
Now have no other listener but myself.

Let deep green drown me

Oh, sweet my heart, let nature dissolve me.
In her deep greens, I am allowed to be.
While in the city politicians cry
From my lips, I hear a solemn sigh.
Oh, foolish world that foolish men can see.

What torment that we need society
And cannot dwell like birds in winter trees.
Or like the spider weaving webs defy.
Release my heart, let nature dissolve me.

The rich are common in momentous fee.
Unlike the insects and the fur-clad bee.
For all of us, our end is sweetly nigh
Enchanted as the dove that homewards flies.
Be comfortless in notoriety,
Oh, cease my heart, let deep green digest me
