The Warning
It’s funny now
To know the truth

Squinty eyes and button nose,
no stranger to a model’s pose.

Our Love

A sparkle in the eye
A handhold
A sneaky kiss

Our love is childish
Running around the kitchen table
Peeking in the shower

Happiness Is a Balloon
Expectant,
baby smiles and squinty eyes
raised to the sky, 
waiting for the first glimpse
of varied hues, climbing
contrasting the denim blue.
Release the balloons!
Let them be free, in...

But That Is Life In Glasgow
The impressive buildings on the Glasgow sky
Compliment life on the River Clyde
With its many secrets it cannot hide
But that is life in Glasgow.

That shoots weeping spears,
Across near dumpy pillows,
Creating forests of fear?

Aye forests of fear,
Skulking carpets of eyes,
Watching us as we near,
