Short Affaire Poems

Betrothed
to the moment
Estranged from
the future
Present 
to marry 
All time
— an affaire

Romance of autumn
Nature’s russet love affaire
Magic of the Fall
Stalked by shivering winter
Like lover with a cold hand....

Nature's russet love affaire
Magic before 'Fall'
Stalked by shivering winter
Like a lover with cold heart....

A summer affaire
Gone with the whims of autumn
Where is the magic?
Revived, warm winter embrace

TRUE LOVE?

scarlet rose bud opens
token of a love affaire
dying petal's fall


PICNIC

torrid summer day
weeping willow by river
lover's argument


ENCHANTMENT

ethereal night
soft sigh in speechless moment
indigo paint's sky...

Cave of our heart is God’s abode
Fold hands here in prayer
Drenched in bliss mists, pay Him an ode
Our soul’s lifelong affaire

With thoughts, words and deeds just
Sidestepping ways of lust
Transform this form of dust

God search here start
Cave of our heart...

SCIENTIFIC FACT

It seemed like the perfect love affaire;
One that would last for life.
Until I made a big mistake
On the night I made her my wife.

When she asked me if the earth had moved,
I committed the ultimate crime.
I probably shouldn’t have pointed out
That the earth’s moving all the time.

Is this music made of magic?
Or does it vent its violence
fired by fury, fuelled by force?
Does music trip Milton’s light fantastic
with nimble heartedness -
or fight with furore, feast on frenzy?

It can be a disease, fanatical,
as these hands, these fingers,
these tips, these nails
perform, carry out their execution.
I wonder with fixed eyes as I take that punch,
or deliver one in this duel we did not choose.

"Au revoir, mon amour", these words I cried.
Our affaire de coeur, c'est magnifique...
"Why must our passion end?" I sighed,
"Au revoir, mon amour", these words I cried.
With a kiss, "c'est la vie", he replied,
"our beautiful love, a shelved antique".
"Au revoir, mon amour", these words I cried.
Our affaire de coeur, c'est magnifique!

Helen’s in love with Augustus!
The poor girl has got it real bad!
In between ev’ry sneeze,
She goes weak at the knees …
He’s the biggest pash she’s ever had!

She’s beginning to dream of their future!
She’s never felt like this before.
She sees them together,
In bright sunny weather,
Cavorting in fields hand in paw (?)


Yes, Helen’s in love with Augustus,
But I fear she’ll be left on the shelf:
Because since I got wind
Of this sordid affaire …
I quite fancy that pussy myself!!...
