VALENTINE BOYFRIEND
I’ll be your valentine boy friend
I’ll give you hearts made of paper, glitter and glue
I’ll write you into my story,
and if the ending’s not happy, I’ll re-write it for you
I may not bring
home the millions,
but I give you my coat dear, when it’s starting to rain
and no I may not be so handsome,
But I got charm as my fortune and wisdom’s my wage.
She is my funny
face girlfriend,
in her Easter pink stockings and her hair like a birds nest
beneath her Christmas light hallow, slowly
she puts her head on my shoulder,
and I’m lost to the night
Just like a maid
‘neath the Maypole,
she dances round in my castle waiting for a slow kiss.
As I decipher her mantras and I get lost in her eyes
my little harlequin dancer and with your mystery smile
I
am the heart round her arrow
and she’s the face in my window staring like a black cat
We are like phantom of fables, both of us,
getting lost as the days flow, faster into jet black.
Into spider webs of abstract.
just moving long the road map of life,
past Jack-o-lantern smoke stacks,
the gypsies on the free way,
the jokers in the rat race keeping to the slow pace,
as the sun is sinking slowly,
beneath the fields and the factories,
taking all the back streets,
sleeping in the back seat,
I listen to her heart beat…
