( I found this beneath the hard drive of my computer.I can't remember if I ever posted it ...apologies if I have ! )
Was that a yes?
I wanted to hold your hand
and walk with you, us together
towards your cottage, from mine.
I knew you wanted to laugh aloud
as we moved on past the poster
billboard reminiscent of Wonderbra
and Benetton's Third World pretend
caring..trying to make us believe
their gaping wounded heart.
On past the news shop and
parking limit signs.
I remember I was dressed
in poetic velvet swagger
and what you wore I dare not say.
I just wanted you totally and
you to know me as I am
surrounded by life's whirlwinds.
We sat there listening to taxis
passing by and feeling
that misty fine rain that falls
so often here near the River Wey
and the farm where I work.
Soon you laughed out loud
sending rapid ripples across
my room..towards me.
Then you went silent and stared
straight at me.
I couldn't help wondering,
was that a yes?
