To Blodwen

 

Your hair is so soft
it moves with the breeze
much softer than hemp
and without all those fleas.


You move like the fish
when excited in the bay.
You ain't got no scales
but I love you anyway.


You have some of your teeth,
for which I am proud;
I hold my head real high
when we're in a crowd.


On special occasions,
you shave under your arms,
that’s when I'm in heaven,
and awed by your charms.


Still, them fellers that fish
they all want to know
what I did to deserve
such a woman without flaw


Like a big bag of plasters
your there for your man
to patch up life's troubles
and fix what you can


You’re as cute as a swallow
that flies overhead
just the same as the picture
that lies beside our bed


When you hold me real tight
like a padded rucksack
my life is complete
Ain't nothing that I lack.

 

Your sweet face is perfection
there’s no need for a tuck

And despite all the years
It’s not down to luck


Some men, they buy chocolate
for their partner’s birthday
They get them at car boot sales
they think it's better that way.

 

Some men they buy roses
for that very special day
U’hum, from email delivery
That's courageous I say.

 

Others buy fine diamonds
from a place called eBay
I don’t waste time searching
for that needle in the hay


But for this man, my sweetheart

Those gifts will not do
ain’t nothing just good enough

for a sweet thing like you.

 

All My Love, Bleddyn. xx
