A little poem about love

uk.bookshop.org/beta-search?...
POEM FOR TIM... AND FOR NEIL... AND FOR GINA... AND FOR SO MANY MORE Let me celebrate you now As you stand before me While you can still hear the cheer Don't let me wait until you are gone To be fond Don't let fear of embarrassment Stifle my delight How the worry of impending shame Leads us to talk about love Only when there can be no response Derision is easy to dispense Brickbat easier to receive An acknowledgement Of what our self-loathing knew already We fumble and blush when praised Or when praising Waiting to be caught out Rejected Iloved their voice Iloved their mind Iloved their kindness Iloved them Past tense It's hard not to fear the present Hard to be present Hard not to bend under a cynical stare * 115 * But Keep the volume of things unsaid The regrets of silence As thin as it can be Let it take little space On the shelf in your head Don't be ashamed of joy Avoid the uselessness of regret Better to worry you've overwhelmed Than crushed with scorn or silence Do not hide your love for so long that it turns to ash And all of this I said in my head As you walked by But not anymore I LOVE THE BONES OF YOU (repeat until there is love everywhere) Last photo of my mum before the dangerous driver ploughed into her and changed her life
