LOVE ME NOT, LOVE ME MORE
Love me not, love me more
Love me now until forevermore...
Gaze meet, nothing much to miss
Hot nerves shoot in happy bliss
Clouds above grin in delight
so with sunshine golden light.
Love me not, love me more
Love me now until forevermore...
You hold my hand to yours
clasping it tight, not letting go
Through all tears and all joys
let affection a river overflow...
Love me not, love me more..
Love me now 'til forevermore...
Partners, we sing... sing along
uncaring who can hear the song
Irrigating our veins with a wish of love
peacefully settled like a rock dove
Love me not, Love me more
Love me now 'til forevermore...
Yes! that's we both want to hear
from honeyed lips of someone dear.
Touch my face, stroke my hair
speak sweet, tell only my name.
Love me not, love me more
Love me now 'til forevermore..
Until all the mountains reach the skies
or the moon kiss the starlight shine
Should all the rosebud hurry blush
or the painter's brush draw in rush..
Love me not love me more
Love me now 'til forevermore...

the class
of summer fifty five
left to ply
their business lives
the office partners just two
pens pencils nearly-new
clerking the lowest
of the low
daily drudgery
reality soon shone thru'
down the cellar
my steps did wend
scuttle filled fires to tend
the 'old man ' yelling
'ere lad chop chop
get me baccy
from t'corner shop
wait-on
tea-break brews'
in a stew
bellow the back-office crew
one more task
to get done
for the partner's son
another errand no time to chat
he'd forgotten the fish
for his wife's cat
then
the switchboard clicked
the doorbell chimed
skills to learn juggle prioritise
which to choose to attend
mail in the tray
still to send
whew!
nearly five knock-off time
in view
just one task still to do
fetch the 'boss's evening news
was this really
the career to choose
I hope this letter, to you, a stranger
Becomes a letter to a friend
As we travel on this journey to its end
Yes we’ll start off as mere strangers
Trying to share the selfsame track
And what matter, if you stray a little
For I'll just lift you up and bring you back
I will steady you if you stumble
Catch you if you fall
Hold your hand when you get weary
Guide and protect you through it all
Oh I pray you learn to love life with a passion
With a zest and inner smiles
For that in truth, is the secret fuel
That will drive you countless miles
If loving life is too hard right now
If deep worry spreads across your brow
And your health is not as good at it might be
Well don’t fret my new - found friend
Just stay with me until the end
And that youthfulness will bloom again you’ll see
Together we will tackle any fear
Banish doubts when they are near
Grow a smile when one is lacking
For you have always got my backing
I’ll help you always go the extra mile
Help you scale mountaintops in style
Then I sincerely promise you will find
Life will love you back in kind
In more ways than you would ever guess
Adding life to years and years to life no less
For your circumstances always follow thought
And a life worth living is never cheaply bought
I’ll keep you on the straight and narrow
If you will but let me take the lead
As if we stick together on the journey
We cannot fail but to succeed
And no longer will we be strangers
But partners till the end
Now that’s a heart felt promise to a friend
He first fell in love with the beautiful game, and for years that remained until Cupid took aim,
That love, though grand, was but a one-way street,?A devotion unmatched, yet one-sided, complete.
Without any warning and to his surprise
An angel appeared right in front of his eyes
It was then he discovered a love so profound,?A two-way connection where true joy is found
Some say it’s fate or a part of Gods plan
Either way this was when their love story began
Day one of a journey through life with each other
Memories to make that they’re yet to discover
In kindness, your hearts have found their place,?to lay the foundations that’s bonded by grace.?Honesty guiding the vows you now share,?sealed with a kiss and the rings that you wear
From this day forward, as your lives entwine,?you’ll stand side by side, as partners through time.?When storms may arise and the skies do turn gray,?together your love will let light guide the way
Now he gets to share his first love with his wife ?As Forever he’ll be her Man Utd for life.
Under the cover of night, a major mission.
The self-assured plot and scheme did not fail
because it was not well planned and executed.
Nor did the affair backfire due to neglect.
The people, dressed in their religion and politics,
unified themselves and became partners in crime.
Betrayal and manipulation were lovers of the
night, as corruption and hate ruled the day.
The timing was a matter of providence, and the wicked
perpetrators were more blind than they were ignorant
of matters most essential. Their spiritual blindness
flooded their nobility and orchestrated their failure.
The plotters did not know that the death of the
accused would be, not the end of their worries
about their power and status. Rather, it would be
the doom of everything they sought to accomplish.
The players were mere mortals being manipulated by
a sinister and evil master who OVERPLAYED HIS HAND.
I have never heard it better said than this: "Had they
known it, they would not have crucified The Lord of Glory"*.

*1 Corinthians 2:8. 2P
Whenever my life seems out of balance…when things are difficult for me…
I remember I am loved…and rediscover life’s symmetry.
Whenever the music of my life is out of tune…when I lose the melody…
I remember I am loved…and rediscover life’s harmony.
Whenever my world turns dark and colorless…when it’s beauty I can no longer see…
I remember I am loved…and rediscover life’s artistry.
Whenever I’m feeling lonely…when I think I’m on my own…
I remember I am loved…and rediscover I am not alone.
Whenever I see others who have so much more than me…when I think life’s unfair…
I remember I am loved…and rediscover riches beyond compare.
And whenever I’m discouraged over a dream that didn’t come true…
I remember I am loved …and rediscover…how some dreams do..
Whether it be partners, family, friends or pets…I am happy to concede
All the times in life I’ve rediscovered…
how love is all I need.
The Dance of... Dance of Dances 6-13-24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dance of Dances
Silk ribbons of ice melt into wellsprings
The dance conundrum breaths in fresh sunlight
On the breath of new buds flies crumpled wings
Widowed autumn shape shifts to starry nights.
Wearing fancies of each day’s longer light,
In waterfalls of fragrant floral veils,
Crimson partners with pale blooms in delight
Autumnal rumbas two step with green vales.
Adversary days of heat on cold plains
Sway into the rhythmic cycle’s dances,
Dreamy pas de deux of wax and wane
Unbroken circle. Eternal romance.
The season’s dance of dances swells with life.
Leaves the lyrics for new dawns and nightlife.
Will it be a fling?
This ‘social distancing’
Or is it here to stay
Like that hasty marriage
Where both partners pay
And before locking down
The whole town
It didn’t occur to you
Even once
How’ll those love birds
Ignite their romance?
But the Agony Aunts
Please don’t commiserate
These in-love fellas
Will still have their date
Do you really think
'Self-isolation' will do the trick
Cure these love-sick
You’re wrong
They’ve always been doing
Nothing else, but day dreaming
Planning secret meetings
Dodging prying eyes
Inventing all those lies
Poor thing
Now he has tested positive
Not for COVID-19
You stupid
But CUPID-20
You knew
He was vulnerable
But smart that he is
He’ll ensure
It’s not uncomfortable
And before you forcibly
Take him away
Just listen to
What he has to say
“Chill mate
I’m ready to co-operate
But with a condition
The world I’ll shun
But lock me up
With her
Let my Valentine
Be my quarantine.”
The high-priced diamond ring,
In the store, shining
Many people discover,
Thinking about their lovers
Wanting to own a diamond ring
But the love I offered you
It’s more precious than that ring
I can't give you a diamond ring,
Only my honest heart
That forever shines, sweetly in your life,
Alive together as husband and wife.
Nurture a warm and joyful family,
Which is lovelier than that ring
Love and loyalty as life partners
Enjoying life under the same roof forever.
Dreaming of building a hopeful family
With forgiveness and sincerity
I want to offer my humble heart
In exchange for a diamond ring
The diamond is just a lifeless thing
That has no soul and little meaning
Throughout the nineteen-fifties, times were neat;
full, long flared skirts and bobby socks gals wore,
while rock and roll and doo-wop moved our feet
to music slow and fast on the dance floor.
Each Saturday, we'd all go to Hi-Y,
where classmates gathered to have fun and dance.
Most partnered with their special gal or guy-
that music of the fifties did entrance!
A Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On,
would move our bodies- arms and legs so fast.
But, with slow songs like, Love Me Tender- drawn
to dance real close with partners unsurpassed.
So simple were the times we spent back then,
that dancing, for teenagers, was the best
treat we looked forward to each weekend when
we could relax and rally, unsuppressed.
Only You, and Rock Around the Clock-
It's Only Make Believe, and Peggy Sue;
Don"t Be Cruel, My Prayer, and Jailhouse Rock-
these drew our feet to each dance rendezvous!
