Corporate Coupling

the lovers declare their mission statement,
outlining their mutually shared goals
to maximise human potential
through alternative methodologies,
– forgetting to say, I love you.

Developing compelling expertise
they interactively benchmark each other’s thighs
to rapidly integrate hyperscale schemas
in exponential progressive growth
and that’s just the start of their foreplay

they seemlessly undermine all systems
to accelerate ease of accessibility
until they achieve ultimate linkage
resorting to plug and play technologies
and agreed cross-storage content

with just-in-time metrics
and 360-degree feedback
they ratify resolution
and end with a corporate sigh
that ripples the water cooler

Making Music

the joy, the thrill, the exaltation

when all our harmonies are right

as we weave around each other

moving in and out, the tune delights

 

we change the key, we change the mood

the mysteries of the minor drop

all the wistfulness and beauty

that makes us conscious of our loss

 

you bring the chords to a crescendo

i swoop the violin above

circling in a spiral, upward,

a melody of endless love

 

now the music plays itself through us

this is not our composition

it is handed down in trust

as we open wide our hearts

 

faster still, with wild abandon,

played in perfect resolution

at last a passage strong and tender

ending on a single  note
