Johnny Minimalnever went over the top.He only went to waragainst unnecessary need. He kept everything under controland kept it all bottled in.A cork in his mouth;He was a man of very few words. He gave his love in small doses.Just enough to keep her going.He never whispered sweet nothings‘Cos nothing sugary was sweet to him. …

Her Necklaces
She wears purple and pearlEmerald green; a girlWho hangs with the worldWrapped round her neck. Years after she was bornIn her will she’s swornNever to compromise or pawnThe weight round her neck.
