Rainbow

Rainbow

The moon and tides they work as one

A spirit that they share

Just like this thing that we have made

That make us this great pair

When rainy days do taint my smiles

You make the sunshine glow

‘Cause you’re the pot of gold I found

Who ends at my rainbow

You are an architect of good

Who showed me that I'm built

And taught me that I am enough

And can be free of guilt

And even when you’re far away

I’ll see your golden heart

I'll work with you to keep it safe

This greatest work of art

So let’s hold hands and walk as one

You are my favourite rhyme

Our clocks and hearts they are in sync

My partner in good crime

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day

A gentle arm around your side

To let you know I’m there

I hope you know how much my dear

For you I deeply care

My shoulder’s there for you to use

For when you need to cry

You’ll always have my hand to hold

My best for you I’ll try

When you need me to make you laugh

Because the world feels wrong

There’s no doubt you can lean on me

When you’re not feeling strong

You let me in to see your scars

To me they are just quirks

But having you as my dear friend

The best of all the perks

Together we have made this thing

It’s our own work of art

Your smiles and kindness called to me

For these you have my heart

Innuendo

Innuendo

I’ve written this poem about innuendo

It turned out that it was quite hard

I’ve had a few dates since I’ve lived in London

But not taken one up the Shard

The weather in London is often quite damp

And it’s easy for things to get wet

In the summer it’s humid and things can get hot

And it’s easy to work up a sweat

In London there’s so many sights there to see

And the tide of the Thames is quite strong

But my favourite thing to do on most nights

Is to listen to old Big Ben’s bong 

Now the new year is here and has come out to play

And at midnight the sound of popped corks

Though it’s not quite yet clear what this new year will bring

If I’m blessed then I might have nice forks

I’ve met some great folk in my lifetime it’s true

And of some I’ve become rather fond

But to make something special between two good friends

Needs a wave of a nice magic wand

Journeys

Journeys

I’m sat here writing words for you

As you lay by my side

A lie‘d be told to say I’d not

Thought of you as my bride

Your face directed at the box

Your favourite show is on

The way you glide across the room

As graceful as a swan

There are so many words to use

To say all that you are

I used only the good words too

For you my shining star

And all these days since I met you

My love for you has grown

A special thing we made as two

This magic we now own

I dream of days when we’re both old

Together holding palms

From day one ‘til this moment here

I still love all your charms
