Long Leaver Poems

Troop ships loading, crowded docks
Mums and sisters waving off
Go with keepsakes, golden locks
Some men hug while many doff

Eric, soldier single stands
Beryl, lonesome widow cares
Many kissing holding hands
Eric stands and Beryl dares

Bump the soldier, make excuse

I have to know every step of the day in advance.

a fair bit of trouble

I will only seduce you and feed you my lies!
Do not wrap your heart in bows or kisses,
I will shatter your dreams and all of your dying wishes!

Tears drench cotton thread
that cleans the blood she has shed
many trials stain red
for all the times she has bled

Freak, whore, loner, and slut

So plain 
In grim faces with 
eyes deeply stained
Evident through streams

Gather around
I have stories 
Of something 
You've never been told by me
A magical tale 
of the sea and women

the one that makes me flourish and grow
the one that truly loves me so
you are...
