OLD TOM'S ANGER

Love so deep that death makes a man angry.

Old Tom was angry

the day his Agnes died,

for “I'll be seeing you tomorrow”,

her last words was how she lied.

 

Once she'd said she loved him,

With words as soft as goo,

had promised him for ever,

“My Tom, how I love you.”

 

But how was it, he pondered

like a pain inside his head

for her to promise for tomorrow

when she knew that she'd be dead?

 

And all the other things,

old promises and such,

could he trust them as he wandered

with her coffin to the church?

 

So Old Tom was angry

the day his Agnes lied,

but anger didn't numb him,

he still broke down and cried.

I have been writing for more years than I care to think of and I realised a few months ago that much of my stuff that I've posted as blogs is nowhere to be found ... there was MySpace, Gather to mention but two sites. So I'm reposting it here, one piece at the time, for, I poudly tell myself, the pleasures of posterity
