Never Never Land

Living
out day-dreams
in the present

prisoners of our past
cravings

 

 

Couplets

Windowman

He missed the warmth, in her arms
He missed all her feminine charms

He missed the softness of her kiss
He missed contented married bliss

He missed fulfillment in love's embrace
He missed intimacy, face to face

He missed his sweetheart helpmeet
Coming home, no one to greet

He missed the thoughts of his soul mate
Each day recalling their first date

Not for a second had he regretted his choice
Each minute now, he missed her voice

He missed his love so very much
And sharing life with his old dutch.

 

 

Love's Story

Can a letter break a heart
Like the look as lovers part

Can a smile from two twinkling eyes
Bring forth laughter, from sighs

Can a hug then melt the ice
Does true love, always feel this nice

Can romance begun with a kiss
Conclude in a lifetime of bliss

 

 

Birkenau

Here because of an accident of blood
The multitudes entered in a flood

He saw her silhouette in the blue light
She blew him a final kiss that night

She held his child for him to see
Neither, would ever be set free

On his arm they numbered his tattoo
In this camp for the Holocaust Jew

He came back in forty-five
To keep the Auschwitz story alive.

 

Tribute to Leon Greenman (1910-2008) the only Englishmen to be sent to Auschwitz.
