lovesong II


from the ABC set 'Selected Poems: 1989 - 2009.'

Writing Wrongs.

Pennies in a wishing-well,
Who can tell,
Which dreams come true,
Which fade to blue?

Me & Molly-May,
In love on a purple day,
A walk in the commons,
Among the blossoms…

Wishing on a shooting star,
Who can guess,
Who’ll be cursed,
And who’ll be blessed?

Me and Molly-May,
In love on a purple day,
Making love in the commons,
Among the blossoms…

Blow out the candle,
Make a wish,
A penny, or a star,
Or a silver fish…

Me and Molly-May,
In love on a purple day,
A purple day,
A purple day…

JP Brown – 02/02/2008.
