Old Songs Re-sung

The first line came into my mind and refused to let go, so I built the Love song from it.





Old Songs Re-sung

The songs of Babylon
Heard so many years ago
Now resound again
In our Hearts

We danced again
To the songs of Love
That are always sung
In our Hearts

Wrapped together in our Love
Holding each other close
Always dancing
In our Hearts 




So ~ another Love song enters these posts.
 

More from 1985

I take pleasure in adding these poems from the year 1985 to this blog, the first one is yet another Senryū - written at the end of a surprisingly warm spring day after a walk to Eltham Common, in South East London only a few miles from where I used to live, the Common was the subject of several walks.

The title is fairly mundane but the feel is rather special.



Eltham Common 02 Feb 85

When the butterfly
Landed on my hand, we smiled
A magic moment



The second poem comes from a little later in the year and explores some of my key issues, make of it what you will...



Babylon 28 Apr 85

O Babylon
Once upon a time
Your waters washed me.
We parted
Though I don't know how
Or why.
My memories
Of your warm waters
Sing constantly
Through my mind.
Maybe one day
I will return
Though I know not when
But one day
We will dance
Together
Again



I considered adding an image but decided against it; you can see the butterfly, you have been to Babylon - even if it was not in this life so how can pictures help?

Till next time - love to you.
