Poem Number 127 - Spare A Thought Or Two - 7/7/1986

You’ve got to be young at heart,

To enjoy each other’s heart.

You’ve got to control what needs to be controlled,

By your own instincts and needs.

Just because we made love two days ago,

Just because I didn’t want to pregnatise you,

I precautioned myself, so that our needs were guaranteed,

And that itself, was my first, indeed.

I know how you felt by me not being there,

I can sort of feel, that you felt lost to me.

Well yes! I wasn’t well, but not because of love,

I just didn’t and wouldn’t feel like going out, that night.

I cannot love you, if you don’t worry for me,

I cannot be a true man, unless ‘you’ is around.

I can love you and yet you will feel respected,

As I know that this was your second time to do so.

Do not feel afraid of a young man, I am,

As what I say and do, is always what I mean.

What I said in our first few weeks, is what I mean is true,

This just is not so, I can remember this, but for just you and me.

This is just not an act of love,

This just not an act at all,

This is our reality,

And what we make of it, as well.

If you do not worry of your love,

There is no that you should worry.

Then again, if you worry of your love and there’s no response,

Then you are having a crisis, within your love-time.

Do not hurt yourself by hurting others,

For in time, they may hurt you.

Do not over patience yourself,

For they will in time, be patient.

Never fear! For John is here!

Never despair, for you aren’t alone.

To marry: one penis and cunt aren’t anything,

It is what is in them, which count.

There isn’t a moment to spare,

When you are having, more than a love affair.

Spare a moment or two,

For the love between him and you.
