LOVED UP

These are significant things.
The problem is I keep feeling blue.
I keep feeling painfully blue.
The problem is the problem is you.
The problem is the problem is you.

I need to say to him,
things I've kept for better days.
I don't like crying in the rain.
Oh! It's never best to go to war
but this is my life I'm fighting for
and I'm not the sort to run away.
I would never just disappear.

So I keep on, keeping on,
keeping all the rows at bay.
The problem is that problems-
they never just go away.
And I keep sleeping on it,
and, to be perfectly honest,
I keep weeping about it too.

The problem is I keep feeling blue.
I keep feeling painfully blue.
The problem is the problem is you.
The problem is the problem is you.

What's anyone supposed to do?
As it goes, you grow and you grow,
and finally you grow to know
there is no more growing to do.

You know what you must pursue.
You know what you must pursue.
The problem is I keep feeling blue.
The problem is the problem is you.

Life has started to take us apart.
This ache is you breaking my heart.
And I take it you haven't got a clue.
Where do we start?
We part! We part! Oh dear!
You've got absolutely no idea.
Problem is I keep feeling blue.
The problem is the problem is you.

So I keep on, keeping on,
keeping all the rows at bay.
The problem is that problems-
they never just go away.
And I keep sleeping on it,
and, to be perfectly honest,
I keep weeping about it too.

The problem is I keep feeling blue.
I keep feeling painfully blue.
The problem is the problem is you.
The problem is the problem is you.
The problem is I keep feeling blue.
I keep feeling painfully blue.
The problem is the problem is you.
The problem is the problem is you.

THE PROBLEM IS YOU

I don't care for parties-
they're really not my scene.
I'm not big on all that smalltalk.
.....I'm shy
.....and I'm seriously 'arty'-
I wouldn't go there to be seen.
I'm not that kind of a man machine.

I like my own company.
I like being deep in thought,
.....seeing what pictures
might be beautifully wrought.
I'm always dreaming what pictures
.....might be bought.
At the end of every month
my income is always spent.
I just about make the rent.
But the models are beautiful.
All the beautiful nudes
they all exude different attitudes.
My current favourite is Nancy.

Nancy in the buff is heavenly.
But it's just not enough for me.
My heart flutters when I see her.
.....I think I might be in love.
Fancying Nancy is a no brainer.
.....I think I might be in love.

FANCYING NANCY

It's midnight. I'm only lightly
.....sleeping.
I keep smelling your perfume.
It's floating like a friendly ghost
passing through my room.
Are you haunting me my love?
Oh! I'm already being haunted
.....by our love.

I  can half believe
.....that you're still here.
A reminiscent you is kissing me.
I'm praying to the heavens
.....that you're missing me.
Someone's just wiped away a tear.
It's as if you were really here
and you wiped away my tears
.....like you do.
..........Just like you do.

Thank you for your presence
.....in my life.
Thank you for the feelings,
all the joy and all your healing.
Thank you for your presence
.....in my life.
Tomorrow I will ask you
.....if you'd like to be my wife.
Tomorrow I will ask you
.....if you'd like to be my wife.

A Proposal

A PROPOSAL

I don't suffer fools much-
don't think its cool to be stupid.
I've put in the things I desire-
I'll leave the results to Cupid.

It's the intellect effect
that gets my full attention.
Yes! You've maybe got the body
but you don't seem to have
.....the brains.
.....Brains are sexy.

It's the intellect effect
gets my attention every time.
.....Brains or brawn?
.....Brains or brawn?
Do I smile or do I yawn?
When your lover is
reading a good book
you don't know that you're born.
You don't know that you're born.
It's the intellect effect-
I'll always give it a look,
it gets my attention every time.

It's not a crime to have a type,
to favour honesty over hype.
Honestly, I prefer a studious guy,
someone great at conversation.
A man invested in his education.
It's why I don't drink in a crowd.
Why should I cloud my thinking?
I think I might be falling in love.

My guy has just turned thirty-
lectures at the local university.
He doesn't need a map of my body.
He's not constantly on his phone.
I don't feel used. I get to choose
what we do with our time alone.
We seem to have created
a sophisticated world of our own.
I think I might have fallen in love.

[He's thirty. Thirty!
My cup of tea.
Dark hair and a tan.
Degrees in the Arts.
A stranger to these parts.
He's my kind of a man.]

What If

WHAT IF

I want to be
sincerely yours,
no fake feelings,
no fake applause.
I've been hurt before
Oh! Haven't we all?
Ten times
ten thousand times!

I've kept myself
off the dating scene.
Got myself clean
off of the alcohol.
But lately I've been
keen to go dancing,
chancing the odds
of finding mangod
who'll worship me.
Properly this time.
Not just my body
but also my mind.
He'll need to be clean,
he'll need to be kind.
Then I might find love
for the fifth time.

Four men before.
No more. No more.
My will to explore them
just up and went-
all of my love was spent.
And I said-
.....no more
..........no more
...............no more.
But here I am again
all done up and glam,
standing on the threshold
of new adventures,
daring myself to find love.
