Good loving

Carl Cleves

You entered my room
The roses on the wall
Spilt their perfume
And burst into bloom
You said ‘play your guitar’
And began to sing
While I looked in the mirror
Admiring your skin

I came in from the frost
But when I saw you
I found something
I didn’t know I had lost

I got a good start
With the cards I was dealt
The queen of hearts
Unlocked her chastity belt
Kneeling before her
I swept with my broom
And blew my bassoon
By the light of the moon.

‘All love is sweet
Given or received’
A great poet once said
A love so deep
cannot be easily conceived
But baby let’s try it
In my big brass bed

Devoted to you
Loyal and true
I give you the key
To this heart with an ocean view
I’ve been in the trenches
I’ve paid what was due
Please let me show you
What good loving can

I came in from the frost
But when I saw you
I found something
I didn’t know I had lost

Once I was blind
How quickly I fell
From heaven’s delight
Into the fires of hell
I’ve learned to be kind
True love’s hard to find
I will treat you well
If you open your shell

Too much expectation
Only brings grief
But you got to have
A little selfbelief
Always remember
And don’t forget
It’s the love you give
Not the love that you get

Devoted to you
Loyal and true
I give you the key
To this heart with an ocean view
I’ve been in the trenches
I’ve paid what was due
Please let me show you

What good loving can
