Just a... just a little kiss
for the true love of my life
just a little hug
for my dear intended wife
just a little love
all sparkled up for her
with sweet emotions
that prove to be life's cure
just a little look
that means oh so much more
and then a quick cuddle
to show her what's in store
wrapped in just three words
that fly by like a breeze
come tripping off my tongue
whispered, 'separate cheques, please'©Trish Shields

when the wicked that men do

body and soul I am a roil of emotions
a book with no ending
that changes
with every page readshe blisters me
empowering me to heights
and depths
to char my soulI am Icarus
claimed
his remains billowing upward
lofty wings does he inspiretouching love so pure
has made me blind
enriching every other sensefields of poppies
waving red within my mind
forever sear her name
on every exhaleher soul is me
