Alan Duffield-lock Poems

' There is a question i would like to ask you ',
a young girl said to me,
it took me by surprise, as it came out of the blue,
so i said ' Please feel free ',
...

I spend all day driving around,
the engine noise not the only sound,
rattling window's, creak's from the floor,
wind howling in through the closed door,
...

We got a kitten the other day,
and all she want's to do,
is play,
and go to the loo,
...

Home, where in the inglenock burning so bright,
making flickering shadow's through-out the night,
flaming log's moving and turning,
spitting, snapping shooting ember's burning,
...

I hide my eye's,
so i don't see you,
i can't tell you lie's,
you hurt me deep and true,
...

Anniversaries come and go,
I write this to let you know,
time with you goes so fast,
our future together is soon our past,
...

For 17 year's we had a cat,
Suki was her name,
she was white and black,
with small pink ear's,
...

Oh butterfly, beautiful butterfly,
when you first did flutter-by,
i said ' You'll not be in my life very long',
you said ' I will, for my love is so strong',
...

I am in love, but not in love with me,
I am in love, only with thee,
I am in love, give me all that you can,
I am in love, your love makes me a man,
...

Where have all the men gone,
Mother earth asks,
i don't mind, just look at my planet,
how beautiful it is,
...
