every word she speaks

he hears

music to his starving ears

food for his ever-craving mind

overwhelmed - engulfed -  confined

her wit so sharp  

such sheer delight

a bright flash of lightning light

her brilliant intelligence

impermanent

absence will be

his penance

instead

moaning groaning

of the woman he wed

and bed

money

beautiful body

but empty head

                            
sweet darling lover
if you and I
as you so often say
 are soulmates for ever
then pray
tell me why

If 
you 
my sweet heart
are the love of my life 

then
explain to me honey
why she
and not
I
is your loving wife

Ellebe twellebe

twenty wan

dreaming

I find myself committing

an imaginary 
passionate crime

then dawn
breaks

into m’our’ning time

and reality
awaits
