Doomed Love Poem

Love is like a jungle

a dangerous place to be

and we’re two horny finches

flirtin’ in a damson tree

There’s an orange cat below us

scratchin’ at the trunk

above us somethin’ prickly

smellin’ like a skunk

They’ll put us in a cage

perhaps we’d better run

hide out in the undergrowth

(it won’t be too much fun)

Sugar, did I tell ya’

I love you the most ?

Even though this crazy world

is cheese on toast

Our time is nearly over

the fires are spreadin’ fast

stay here in my arms until

the drone swarms have passed

They’re choppin’ down the forest

scortchin’ out the night

I’d fly you to the moon but they

clipped my wings real tight

So farewell beautiful bird

in death we’ll never part

my love was like a jungle

inflamed by your heart
