Poetry list
A cavatina of release
Another rail trip – to the Proms – another poem
There is a pain that never leaves this world –
An endless blaze.
It runs through every life and levels all
Yet dogs our days –
And burns so hot and smoulders long and deep
In every phase.
There seems no point nor respite from its sting –
As on it plays.
Its game is up when time and space do end
As love’s true bliss takes each of us as friend.
