An invitation
Would be classed as a triumph
Elevated pride
Seen at the royal wedding…
Now that’s one for the Grandkids!

Hallucination
Do you really exist here
In the world around
Or are you a delusion
That simply resides in me?

Loudly trilling a welcome
Waking one and all
Honouring the start of May
With a loud joyous chorus

Pulling your closer
Gently reassuring you
I’ll always be there
Soothing words murmured faintly
Hoping you will understand

Velvety petals
Crushed beneath our hot bodies
Hands clasping
Smooth sheets below
Quickly reaching
Quiet climax
Clutching each other
You complete me
