Angela Morkos
Paul McCartney
I remember hoarding photos
Of my teenage superhero
Thick dark fringe, sad brown eyes
A Romeo from Rio.
She loves you, All my loving
And his lovely long legs thrilled me
And I just knew that marriage to Paul
Was the only thing to fulfil me.
Prolonged ecstasy was a Beatles’ film
A heavenly whole 2 hours of HIM!
I mooned over photos in Beatles’ mags
When a Beatles’ film was in the bag
And this first love remains with me still
Tho’ middle-aged and with time to kill.
Not his looks, but his tunes
That I love these days
And these will heal me
Soothe me always.
Playing Yesterday on the piano
The best song of the Maestro
And When I’m 64.
