On the day I met your father
He said "he would never be there"
Fighting to put my foot
On the doorstop
Until he extracted a promise
"To always see you were ok"
Daddy's girl always
Tolerated in thin strips
Of time decorated
With the returning of ships
Containing hopes of future
Voyagers
On foreign shores

Always behind the back

2 weeks on routine
Every word as nice
As a snake has ever seen

Never heard the words
Too gentil for me
They ate their food like wolves
I ate mine
Sight unseen
Finishing the soup
As they moved into pudding
Eating to live
On wind
Of a cushion

So we bowed and left
Bright red kisses
To show to the neighbours
Signs were not missing

Directions on the car
I ignored in passion
Since my father-in-law
Seemed to feel luck
Was smashing

If only sense would find
Something truly common
People would find
A life

In delight
Of thoughts
Deeds
Honour

But above all

They dont take the pain

Out on others
