When we met

Was there sunshine when I met you?
Were there children everywhere?
Now you know I can’t forget you
Or the future we could share
If I could paint I’d paint a picture
Of the you that’s in my heart
And it would follow every stricture
Of the rules of perfect art
Were there stars when I first kissed you?
In the time we don’t yet know
There’s a chance I will have missed you
If the heavens aren’t on show
If sweet music was my master
I would write a song for you
Which could not be a disaster
If it held the you I knew
Words I write are just a suture
They’re the stitch that’s saving time
If we haven’t got a future
Then it’s all a pantomime
But I’m just a foolish poet
Cannot sing or sketch a line
And by now I think you know it
What I wish for won’t be mine
All the auguries are gleaming
There’s a place we’ll always meet
You’re the purpose of my dreaming
And you make my dreams complete
