Excess Express



Some readers may be interested to know that I have just posted Chapter 4 of Blasphemy my gay-interest crime serial on the fiction blog: 


Meanwhile...

Today’s poem has not appeared on the blog since mid-2010. I have been asked to repeat it for ‘Chantelle’ and ‘Gus’ for their respective partners, ‘Holly’ and ‘Liam’.

Like so many of my love poems, this one can apply to any lovers anywhere, regardless of colour, creed, sex or sexuality. Oh, and why not? Since when did love discriminate against anyone?

EXCESS EXPRESS

I only had to see you
for a heat to rush through me
like an express train

I only had to hear you
for music to rush through me
like songbirds on wing

I only had to touch you
for desire to rush through me
like a summer wind

You only had to hold me
for passion to rush my senses
like wild honeysuckle

You only had to kiss me
for delight to rush my despair
like birthday surprises

You only had to love me
for its sheer ecstasy to rush us
like an express train

Where life rushes at love
and would share but glimpses,
we had other ideas
