Clive Blake Poems

I didn't really care if -
Our wedding was big,
Or our wedding was small,
Was held in a small tent,
...

Oh little mouse,
You are so small,
You are petite,
You are so cute,
...

One day I dreamed …
There was no longer any 'Third World',
Just a united 'First',
Famine clearly vanquished forever,
...

Like most people
On life's long journey,
I've fought some bouts and
I've played some rounds,
...

Coastline, rocky, rugged, proud,
Crumbling cliffs in ozone shroud,
Sun-kissed drifts of desert sand,
Golden frame of a sea cradled land.
...

Don't see only our disabilit-ease,
Don't deny us basic facilit-ease,
Don't ignore our many abilit-ease,
Don't compound our varied difficult-ease,
...

I'm staring at this old man,
The old man's staring back,
His eyes are dull and misty,
His skin is weathered and slack,
...

'Is there anyone for stuffing?
Well done George, send us down your plate,
Auntie, if you've finished with the cranberry sauce
Could you please pass it across to Kate? '
...

We might not always see eye-to-eye,
We might not always agree,
But that won't stop me from loving you,
And hopefully -
...

We know your wish to unite
Is so truly meant,
Let your love be the stone,
This blessing - the cement.
...
