A Poem - Camden Lock (2008)

The gift you gave me
Was love.

The gift you gave me
Was a recollection of happy times
We shared.

The gift you gave me
Was hope.

The gift you gave me
Was release from nagging torment.

The gift you gave me
Was a breathing space.

The gift you gave me
Was...

A mojito.

Your consideration,
Your care,
Your concerned, caring, pained eyes,
Your tending touch,
Your laughter,

The wonder of you!

Love, love, love!

Looking over the sun-drenched sea of stalls,
Rapt in your oasis,
Wrapped in your bower of hope,
At liberty, the chains of sadness loosed,
By your gifts,
By your sunshine,
Tears welled in my eyes for the joy of you.

How I loved that mojito,
How tears well for you.

Can you not remember
That our love was truth?
