Romantic
This sea that bares her bosom to the moon,
reminds me of a stripper, nice girl, name of June,
I met once after a party in Torquay.
Me and 'er 'it it off, if you take my meaning,
walked along the strand, hand in hand, like you do,
and kissed, and then our thoughts and grips did go...
well wild, like, it's natural in the young, romantic, so
I popped the question, din I, an' to this day, I'm 'ere to say,
that a woman what knows when to say "no," is a lifesaver,
for all the turmoil and boil,
passion on gas mark six, 'ot... my god,
bubbling like water round a free minute egg,
in amongst all dat, wot I fought I wanted and what was actual on the cards,
in the fuchah,
was two different fings,
an' she, bless 'er 'eart, could count.
There was a lot of wisdom there.
More than I deserve.
Touched
Turning her head
she said
it's a touch of the sun you've got
yes I dare say
a touch of her sun
of her youth
of her beauty
a touch of her on the brain
a touch of middle age coming on
a touch of the moon
a touch of longing
for a touch
for more than a touch
that means
yes
why not?
we are here
alone
on this high hillside
touched by the breeze
by the sun
and not touching.
