We met on that railway station <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whose long platforms <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Were fringed with tall palm trees <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That dwarfed the passing trains <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You had engineered our meeting <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Knowing that I was travelling that day <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was not sure at first whether you loved me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or whether you loved my poetry <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or were in love with my image <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Loose shirt <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scruffy jeans<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sandals <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A French poet from the South <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A romantic image I suppose <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But here is a secret Diane <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hate myself <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have always hated myself <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I avoid mirrors at all costs <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is because of my sad eyes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My incredibly sad green eyes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That have visited both <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heaven and Hell <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without celebrating rest<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will meet at this railway station <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Again and again and again <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will be wearing your sea blue dress <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With your hair loose without jewels <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And pretend to be hopelessly lost <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grey eyes on the verge of tears <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dry crocodile tears my ingenue <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are our repetitions <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are our repetitions <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
