A LONG DISTANCE MILE

I had travelled for days and for hours
You greeted me, with beautiful flowers
a look of delight, a kiss and a smile
For you, I had travelled a long distance mile.

The promise of love and a silver band
“Welcome! your new life, to this new land”
In your clutches, engaged by that smile
For you, I had travelled a long distance mile.

The love we shared was our delight
then broken promises, in just one fight
Now all is lost but I remember that smile
For you, I had travelled a long distance mile.

HOLD ME

Stoke the fire, dim the light
envelope me, in pure delight
Hold me.
Stroke my fire, make me glow
Ensnare me, coppice slow
Hold me.
Stroke my hair, make it shine
Tie me up, in silken twine
Hold me.
Cradle my head, with strong hand
Don’t let this be, a one-night stand
Hold me.
Gently, pat the flesh of my skin
Lead me now, into feral sin
Hold me.
