Cold from storming rain and full of mud

The river Lea in winter turns to flood

Across the Abbey Meadows rings the bell

Brings back the ghosts, bring back the holy spell

King Harald lost his crown and all his land

The Norman Vikings, men with bloody hands

Share this:

I’d really like to tell you how I hated you

You were selfish, condescending, you were mean.

But you talkedbtoo much I couldn’t get a word in,

The situation was so hopeless I could scream.

You seem to have no insight it is crucial

To see yourself as other people mean

I didn’t even like you you were ugly.

You had a hairy mole right on your face.

I didn’t know I was so vile,so prejudiced

I shuddered when I entered your embrace

Now you’ve gone and I am relieved,pleased.

I should have been more direct more truthful.

Our relationship itself was a disease.

So I’ve thrown away your photographs and letters

I have thrown away your gifts and greeting cards

I keep the space around me and I’m happy.

Happiness is never just a word

  I studied the Arts of Love and War.
  I studied higher dimensional geometry.
  I studied other realities
  And I produced a learned article,
  As I love the strange world of the particle.So when the day came I studied you.
  I found I love you so much too.
  I don’t need mathematics to know what’s true
  For my heart has reasons anew.
  Equations have positive and negative solutions.
  Metaphors for Love, Hate and Evolution.
  Reflecting a long mirrored Revolution.I love Abstract Geometry,
  And I love knitted Topology,
  Even if it’s a whimsical Tautology.
  It taught me the simple wisdom.
  Of Crocheted Accountancy,
  Knitted boulangerie.
  Strings of theorems dangling,
  Make a very good wall hanging
  And woven Number Theory
  Because it’s so springy and cheery.
  It makes a very lovely bedspread .
  Somewhere to rest my dreaming head.I like the Surface Geometry
  Of your Body,more than I like
  General Relativity,
  Or Algebraic Topology,
  Or even Love Poetry.
  I want to view all of you.
  I need to love,and to hate you, too.
  I study your personal Trigonometry
  Your so solid Geometry.
  Your personal Morphologhy.I love your geniality
  And your cool conviviality
  Love has proved good for us two,
  More certain than Pythagoras’s theorem
  Was thought to be, before Riemann.
  Now all my cello strings are vibrating too.
  What did you do?I’d like to have a dance with You
  To the music of General Relativity
  Will you come and waltz with me
  So we can spin within the Spheres
  Hear music non-Platonic too?
  Subtle harmony,sweet geometry,
  Algebraic symmetry,quizzical homology.
  Radical new cosmology.I am woven and patterned with you.
  We make a fine bed spread too
  Uniting the male and the female view,
  Incorporating the bodily anew.I love to see your corporeality.
  Your eyes and facial originality.
  You’re so whimsical and non-inimical too.
  Let’s unite the sensual
  With the metaphysical.
  Our love hit the critical
  Mass to go into orbit to
  Encircle the entire Universe
  It just grew and grew and grew.
  Now we have much co-creating to do,
  Taking the very long term view.
  And much more lovely dancing to
  The music generated by us two
  In collaboration with
  All that the world is.

Thought, the vision of the inner eye,
Peers behind the mask of mundane view
A choosing from the symbols that come by
So into meaning many words are fused

Thought to me is vision without words;
Needs silent presentation and review.
The words translate the images that surge
Then fall back to the ocean where they grew.

Like coloured visions of the deep sea bed
Where fishes reel and dance, where life is new.
What we mean with difficulty’s said
Yet evocation summons it to view.

Let my words evoke love deep in you;
Answer me with many kisses new.
