The Life That I Have

the love i have spices up life a red hot spicy stuff the sultry laughters from the man and woman that trail the lane as you pass by the night the fish and pats that i lavish on a cat as it meows to me so intense i wonder it is needs more love than me the gentle laps of the waves god touches me with his care so many metaphors, sign language he uses to speak to me it makes me a fool not to realise the real poet of the universe and his love...his love for me the shine of the moon, sun his eyes he gave to me the wind, his fingers and carresses, the storm, his rage, the lightning his warning and the splashes in the river after all a mass of thanksgiving the harvest, the rice, barley....... his consolations burst through rock oh my god, your poetry of love it does not just steal my heart but go into my system, blood, tears and all inspired by The Life That I Have -- The life that I have Is all that I have And the life that I have Is yours The love that I have Of the life that I have Is yours and yours and yours. A sleep I shall have A rest I shall have Yet death will be but a pause For the peace of my years In the long green grass Will be yours and yours and yours. Leo Marks
