\nPORT OF LOVE <\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nCalling that little lost ship<\/span>
\nanchored off the River Me,<\/span>
\nWave tossed and unsure<\/span>
\nin the sea’s vast void.<\/span>
\nSignal<\/span>
\nand I will send my pilot cutter<\/span>
\nto guide you in<\/span>
\nthrough the rocks of uncertainty.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn my harbours<\/span>
\nyou’ll find shelter from<\/span>
\nthe sea’s whip-roaring waves<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nand a mooring<\/span>
\nin the deep cut channels of<\/span>
\nmy river soul.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd to the sailors<\/span>
\nof your wide-eyed senses<\/span>
\nI grant<\/span>
\nthe freedom of the city<\/span>
\nof my loving careingness<\/span>
\nlooking to all your needs<\/span>
\nthrough the eye-glass of intuition.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nYou may stay forever<\/span>
\nor leave when you choose.<\/span>
\nCalling that little lost ship<\/span>
\ncoming closer to the lips of the river me.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nI am the port of love<\/span><\/div>\n
\nand I call to you to come in on the next tide.<\/span><\/p>\n

……………….

\nThis appeared as a poem in my 2nd poetry Chapbook Poet Reprobate in 1985 and became the lyrics of an unfinished keyboard track here<\/p>\n
