Not Quite Past It

Not Quite Past It
Form: Raven’s Rovi Sonnet 18
Theme: Love
Subject: Grey hair

Years go and sex becomes a passing thought
Yet my heart skips when I feel your touch
Are my senses acting in ways they ought
For lustful pleasures are surely what was
And our love a joining spiritual might
My greying hair must be past all that jazz
But still in your presence is my delight
For desire goes beyond the sexual sort
As lust no longer lasts throughout the night
But insane giggles and pillow talk can
For lust a transient passing where as
My heart remains strong to love you so much
Maybe that is the wonder of love’s plan
In these rambling thoughts of your aging man

Tête de boxeur by Henri Laurens

Tête de boxeur by Henri Laurens

Tête de boxeur
1920
Cubism
Painted Terracotta
Tate, London, UK

Initially emerging from a low-relief black plane ‘Tête de Boxeur’ passes through three more painted surfaces of yellow, pink and white. The influence of collage can be detected in Lauren’s play with texture. More than a simple experiment with the representation of depth through various levels of relief, the artist created horizontal bands of ridges to depict the recessed black plane, replicating the Cubist interplay of collage through the medium of terracotta

Laurens was a sculptor and illustrator. Mostly associated with pre-war Cubism he indulged in a wide range of artistic practices. After the war he saw the Cubist movement as too dogmatic and his work acceded to the formal and thematic influences of Classical sculpture

Lyrics by George Michael

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special (special)

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it’s been a year, it doesn’t surprise me

“Merry Christmas” I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying “I love you”, I meant it
Now I know what a fool I’ve been
But if you kissed me now, I know you’d fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special (special)

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special (special)

Ohh
Oh, oh, baby

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I’m hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Ooh, ooh, now I’ve found a real love
You’ll never fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special (special)

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Special

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you mine)
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year we’ll give it to someone
I’ll give it to someone special
Special
So long…

The Way

Laura Denise

The way we make
our own magic,
dispel the spells
of cynicism,
leads me so easily
in complete belief
that our love will indeed
win.

So dance with me, my darling,
through all these ups and downs;
we’ll keep relighting our dreams
and color our own world.

A Poets Dream

A Garret Poet

A Poets Dream
Form: Rondelet

The words of love
They echo from a poet's dream
The words of love
Are the divine call from above
That babbles in a forest stream
Destiny found in lunar beam
The words of love

Moments of joy
When a heart accepts all that is
Moments of joy
When eyes linger, a little coy
Caught in a lover's gentle kiss
Before yielding to sensual bliss
Moments of joy
