wild night  ..

there's a storm going on
outside as we make love
windows rattle, although
I doubt because of us   ..

to be fair ..

bloke in the pub pays by card
and presses no to the gratuity option,
saying the chicken was cold and
the potatoes were hard;
mind you, the parsnips were cooked
to perfection ..

having the winter of our lives  ..

sex when you're old is even        
better these cold nights      

she keeps on her sweater      
as she pulls down her tights

hang about a sec ..

didn't see who it was
but I hope it was you  
kissed the back of my neck  
on the 08:22 ..

not too elderly people ..

we're just two elderly people
sitting in the pub arguing over
the menu and quite obviously
in love ..

he thinks ..

one eventually becomes that
old bloke in the corner eating fish n chips,
downing four pints of bitter, reading
this evening's paper,
thinking that's not why he drinks ..

a mouth full of craters..

his lasting memory of the blitz
was one of constant toothache;  
I'm telling you, mate, there wasn't  
a dentist left who hadn't been bombed out
where we lived ..

no way back ..

its dark early evening I stumble
over steps that I should not have
taken ..

story telling ..

I recall how she despised him,      
since he always went to the fiction      
section in the library, whilst      
she went in search of the facts.      
       
almost everything comes from  
stories, from homer to the present        
day there's a bloke in the pub        
with a pretty good tale/ truth to tell  
   
you need to relax  ..
